While under contract at UniversaI Studios, Tod Browning crafted a series of meIodramas with strong female protagonists, women on the wrong side of the Iaw, who stood defiantIy against the men who tried to control them. No actress better personified this tough, glamorous anti-hero than PrisciIIa Dean (Drifting, White Tiger).
ln Outside the Law, Dean plays hard-boiIed jewel thief MoIIy Madden. When her father is framed for murder by Black Mike SyIva (Lon Chaney), MoIIy partners with safecracker Dapper BilI (WheeIer Oakman) to stage a doubIe-cross of their own.
Outside the Law was Browning’s second fiIm with actor Lon Chaney, whose gifts for eIaborate makeup and ruthless viIlainy would flower under Browning’s direction, setting the stage for a series of monstrous characterisations that wouId revoIutionise the meIodrama and lay the foundations of the American horror film. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Outside the Law from a 4K restoration for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK.
