Chaney's Crowning Achievement, 2001-08-20This is the legendary film that brought Lon Chaney Jr. to star status with his portrayal of dim-witted Lenny. Great story, great cinematography, great performances by Burgess Meredith as Lenny's "guardian", Charles Bickford and former cowboy star Bob Steele as the cruel Curly. Plot in a nutshell: George & Lenny are drifters, landing a job at a ranch and dreaming of the day when they own their own ranch, complete with a dozen rabbits for Lenny to take care of. Curly's wife flirts with the ranch hands, especially Bickford, which causes confrontations with Curly and the ultimate tragic ending. If you are a fan of Warner Brothers cartoons, you may be familiar with their over-usage of Chaney's Lenny in their films: "gee, George"..."whadja say, George?"..."I wouldn't hurt 'im, George"..."George is my friend"...you remember, right? Films can hardly get more classic than this. Do yourself a favor...add this to your collection!
