What about the sound remake with Lupe Valdez, and Barrymore in the Chaney role?

Lupe Velez, not Valdez, and it was Walter Huston in the Chaney role. Kongo, 1932

" Kongo" Thank you, I'd only seen clips, years back.

It's on DVD if you're interested

IMO, Huston (who originated the role on Broadway)overacts a bit much in "Kongo". It's an interesting pre-code film, but I like Chaney, and "WoZ" better.
