The Blackbird

This was a pretty good silent movie.  Lon Chaney was always an awesome actor and villain.  He plays two roles here a crippled preacher and a criminal.  People think they're brothers but it's Lon Chaney playing with people.  The girl he likes the innocent Renee Adoree falls for a thief herself.  He doesn't think the thief is worthy of her (but then neither he is.)  So he plans a plot.  However, Lon gets his just desserts in the end.  Lon Chaney's silents are always worth discovering.
