Damn Fool Idealistic Crusader | The Penalty (1920) Kino Lorber Blu-ray Review @DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 24 minutes ago.

I review the silent masterpiece, THE PENALTY, on its Kino Lorber Blu-ray release. Derived from a George Eastman House restoration this is one of the must own silent Blu-ray’s. Chaney’s performance is legendary for the extreme physical pain he endured to play the legless criminal mastermind Blizzard-but seeing and experiencing this performance is something else entirely. It remains one of the most complete and total performances in the cinematic medium. And just three years later Chaney would reteam with director Wallace Worsley for the iconic Hunchback of Notre Dame.
00:00 Opening goof
00:00:40 Film discussion
24:55 Picture Quality
27:33 Audio Quality
29:33 Packaging and Artwork
30:32 Supplemental Features
35:50 Final Summary
