Negative Positive
Title: Fun to Watch and Listen
Review: Victory: My overall impression of the film was "wow, this is intense for a silent movie". I love Lon Chaney movies, but I was surprised at how dark this one was. But, as usual, Lon Chaney is a great character actor, slinking around like the lowlife Ricardo is, but every now and then making us wonder whether there is going to be that "human" side to him that we see in so many other Lon Chaney movies. (Sorry, doesn't happen)For all of you out there who happen to be Lon Chaney AND opera fanatics (I know there are just tons, don't everyone jump up at once), listen for the Das Rheingold rip that the composer of this version uses in several scenes (and it almost becomes a small lietmotif for Ricardo).Wicked Darling: I'm sure glad this one got found! Chaney plays another wonderful lowlife character, with all the sneers, snarls, and sneaking around that he is so good at.
