The Unholy Three (1925)

This film has the exact same plot and two of the same actors as the 1930 film with the same title. The main difference is this is a completely silent film. In most ways, the talkie version is superior. A main plot point revolves around a ventriloquist and talking parrots which is a bit strange for a silent film. It is cute that they solve that issue here using speech bubbles. The patsy in this film is also less appealing, making it questionable why the love interest would want to switch alliances from her gang. The one preference I have in this version is the chimpanzee. The remake cheapens out by just using a man in a costume versus the real thing and it comes across as ridiculously silly.
