Very unusual film that's worth watching for Chaney, but is hampered by spotty direction and silly dialog cards.
The concept is bizarre. Who likes to see people slapped? Was this a thing in the 20's?
Although it's not the entire plot. It's a metaphor. Albeit a heavy-handed metaphor.
Chaney shows himself to be the master even without Browning at the helm, but the film really suffers from the story-telling.
