This could as easily have been given the name of Browning's previous movie: "Freaks."
Lionel Barrymore demonstrates more range than we're accustomed to, playing an escaped convict and, much of the time, a sweet old lady.
Ottiano is scary as the widow of his jail buddy, who has the patent on making live people into dolls.
The print shown this week on Turner Classics is beautiful but seems to have gaps in its continuity, as if all that survives may be something cut up for commercials in the days when local stations showed old movies.
