I watched this primarily because I knew Nigel De Brulier would be in it. Little did I know that he didn't appear in the film until the last 20 minutes or so. But it was well worth the wait, because that lord truly delivered, he played a madman and really threw himself into it. What a beauty.
I wanted something exciting and stimulating. I got that, you always get that with Lon.
Lon (44) as Alonzo The Armless
Joan Crawford (22) as Nanon Zanzi
John George (29) was brilliant as Cojo
Nothing prepared me for this :
I had to rewind this scene a few times to get enough of it. And now I have to take back something I said in my review of The Thief of Bagdad, about muscular people being unattractive... Because the sight of Lon's back and arms blew my mind. He was so beautiful.
