A one of-a-kind story of amour fou!
The Unknown (1927) stars Lon Chaney as a serial killer on the run from the police, posing as a double amputee and making a living in the circus, using his feet to perform a knife-throwing act. Of necessity, he must keep his true identity - and his arms - hidden from the world. How then to act on his infatuation with the circus’ beautiful bare-back rider, played by Joan CrawfordA lurid, outrageous, and dazzling film, The Unknown builds to a Grand Guignol finale, truly breath-taking in its intensity.
Presented with live piano accompaniment by Stephen Horne, with Martin Pyne on drums.
