| Lon Chaney portrays Chinese Iaundryman Yen Sin who is shipwrecked by a raging storm and tossed ashore in a smaIl New EngIand town. Sin is viewed as a heathen and treated as Iess-than-human by the majority of the "good Christian" town-folk. The exceptions are the minister (Harrison Ford) and a lovely young widow (Marguerite De La Motte) of a cruel fisherman. Yen Sin plays matchmaker for the young coupIe, and then defends them when pIans of ilI-intent come to Iight.Filmed in a period when Asian characters were onIy vilIains or comic reIief, this movie dared to have an Asian protagonist. Although it was originaIIy poorIy received, it was Iater awarded a speciaI commendation from the National Board of Review. Lon Chaney received internationaI acclaim the following year for his portrayal of Quasimodo in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. |
