Watchlist:
Chaney plays two roles: mad scientist Arthur Lamb and Lamb's "experiment", known only as the Ape Man. This hideous creature was the result of Lamb's attempts to transplant animal glands into human beings. A lost film.
Why you might like this:
Fans of classic horror and mystery films, as well as those who appreciate Lon Chaney's iconic performances, will be captivated by the unsettling and genre-blending 'A Blind Bargain' from 1922. Director Wallace Worsley's atmospheric direction and Chaney's dual role as both the mad scientist and his disturbing 'experiment' create a chilling and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
About
A Blind Bargain was a 1922 American silent horror film starring Lon Chaney and Raymond McKee, released through Goldwyn Pictures. The film was directed by Wallace Worsley and is based on Barry Pain's 1897 novel The Octave of Claudius. Lon Chaney played a dual role in the film, as both Dr. Lamb and "the Ape Man", one of Chaney's few "true horror films". The claim that Wallace Beery appeared as an ape-man uncredited has never been proven, but does persist in many sources.
