SUMMARY:SILENT FILM - THE UNKNOWN - LON CHANEY & JOAN CRAWFORD - 1927
DESCRIPTION:The Unknown is a 1927 American silent horror film directed by T
 od Browning and starring Lon Chaney as carnival knife thrower "Alonzo the 
 Armless" and Joan Crawford as his beloved carnival girl Nanon. Originally 
 titled Alonzo the Armless\, filming took place from February 7 to March 1
 8\, 1927 on a $217\,000 budget.\n\nSynopsis - Alonzo is an armless knife t
 hrower and gun shooter for a circus---or so he appears. He is actually a c
 riminal with his arms intact. He and his accomplice\, Cojo (a little perso
 n)\, are hiding from the police. Alonzo views his disguise as perfect\, es
 pecially since it keeps from view an unusual deformity of his left hand th
 at would immediately give him away as the criminal the police are searchin
 g for. Nanon\, the daughter of Zanzi\, the circus owner\, is the target in
  his act. Although Alonzo is in love with her\, Nanon's father despises hi
 m. Malabar\, the circus strong man\, is attracted to Nanon but she is repu
 lsed by his uninhibited sexual advances and desire to touch and hold her. 
 Her phobia extends to the touch of any man's hand. Alonzo feeds her fears 
 in the hopes that Nanon will fall in love with him since he is "armless". 
 Because Zanzi discovers Alonzo really has arms\, Alonzo kills him\, but Na
 non witnesses the killing without seeing Alonzo's face\; however\, she doe
 s see the telltale deformity of his left hand. As Alonzo continues to plot
  to steal Nanon away from Malabar\, Cojo makes him realize that she will h
 ate him once she discovers he has arms---and the deformity showing that he
  is her father's murderer. Alonzo decides to have both his arms amputated\
 , which he succeeds in doing through blackmailing a surgeon. While Alonzo 
 is away recuperating from the surgery\, Nanon gets over her fear of being 
 touched and falls completely in love with Malabar. Discovering this upon h
 is return\, Alonzo hatches a scheme to kill Malabar as he attempts his lat
 est\, most dangerous stunt.\n\nDoors and bar open at 11am. Refreshments\,
