since childhood. J. Carrol Naish was definitely one of the finest character actors who ever faced a camera!

His performance is more Lon Chaney Jr. and less Lon Chaney, but still it's a good performance. Good movie too.

What's the Spanish for drunken bum?

Less Lon Sr. cuz it wasn't a silent performance. As a fan of cinema in general, of course you know, you realize, Sr. only made one sound film. Having watched and heard his actual voice I believe he would have been hard pressed to continue his career in the talkies.

What is the sound an imploding pimp makes?

Yeah, that's true. But putting that aside I think the analogy works. As an aside: What was Lon Chaney's only sound film? Just curious.

TCM shows it every once in awhile, the sound remake of Lon's silent "Unholy Three". Kind of stilted, but one gets to hear his voice. Love that dwarf; he was also in "Freaks".
