Watching Lon Chaney in “Mr. Wu” (1927)-Silent
I have only seen parts of it before. Pretty heavy film. Relations out of wedlock, racism, illegitimate pregnancy, misunderstanding, tragedy, tenderness, revenge & cruelty. And they said folks in the 1920’s just played ukulele, drank out of flasks and yelled "Sis-boom-bah!".
Side note: I worked at the media center/tv studio in college. Dr. Fu, a brilliant Genetic Scientist would come in for camera equipment. Every time he came in, was the same routine: He'd look me dead in the eye like a cop and say "You have equipment for me!?", then break into a slow grin, " For Dr. Fu,.. F. U. !
It continued for 4 years. Bless you, mad old scientist.
