Details

• Release Year: 1920
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Horror, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: In a role that established him as one of the most dynamically terrifying performers of the silent screen, THE PENALTY stars Lon Chaney as Blizzard, a criminal mastermind who orchestrates a bizarre and heinous vengeance upon the doctor who unnecessarily amputated his legs. Blizzard befriends the surgeon's daughter (Ethel Grey Terry) and serves as an artist's model for her sculptural rendition of Satan, waiting for his moment to show the depth of his devilish desires.; ; In playing the devious Blizzard, Chaney tightly harnessed his legs within a pair of leather stumps. As Chaney biographer Michael Blake says, 'One has to wonder if the intensity Lon brought to this role might have been due in part to the pain produced by his harness.'; ; This edition of THE PENALTY is mastered in HD from the 35mm restoration by the George Eastman House Motion Picture Department. It is cooler tinted according to surviving instructions.
