Penalty, The (1920)

In this silent film, a criminal mastermind plots revenge against the doctor who amputated his legs.

Dir: Wallace Worsley Cast:  Lon Chaney , Ethel Grey Terry , Charles Clary .

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Wallace Worsley. Lon Chaney, Ethel Grey Terry, Charles Clary, Claire Adams, Kenneth Harlan, James Mason, Cesare Gravina.

"Chaney is something to see as Blizzard, a cunning, sadistic crime lord, embittered because his legs were amputated by a negligent surgeon in childhood. Terry is the government operative assigned to infiltrate his den of iniquity. Melodramatic at times, but worth seeing for Chaney's bravura performance."
