 | | Biographer Michael Blake, who knows as much about the man as anyone living, says that of the 158 films Chaney made (from his one-reel debut in "Poor Jake's Demise" in 1913 to his only sound film, "The Unholy Three," in 1930), perhaps 47 or 48 survive in complete or partial form. |
 | | As Bradbury says, to see Chaney is to feel that one may yet become the person the world will turn away from in horror and fear. |
 | | Outlasting even Greta Garbo, Chaney resisted sound films, but he turned out to be so good in "The Unholy Three," his first talkie, that he swore to a notary that the five voices used by his character were all his. |
