Summary: Paul Lavond was a respected banker in Paris when he was framed for robbery and murder by crooked associates and sent to Devil's Island. Years later, he escapes with a friend, a scientist who was working on a method to reduce humans to a height of mere inches (all for the good of humanity, of course). Lavond however is consumed with hatred for the men who betrayed him, and takes the scientist's methods back to Paris to exact painful revenge. (imdb)

It's beautifully shot and Tod Browning's flair for the grotesque pops up here and there, but a soppy father-daughter reconciliation is what actually ends up taking over the story (this is not a horror movie in the end). Lionel Barrymore is disturbingly convincing as a little old lady. I don't think this was the first time he'd ever put on old-lady clothes and prattled about.

Engaging if improbable fun, with Barrymore spending much of the film dressed up like a Monty Python pepperpot. O'Sullivan is adorable as always. Ottiano should've had "USDA" stamped on her forehead, she was such a ham (definitely a silent star not quite making the transition). Special effects very good, especially for the time.

Tod Browning's finest hour. As science fiction it sucks ducks, but it's an original and absorbing horror tale. Lionel Barrymore is simply great, and you wonder how the dickens the ending made it past the censors

Terrible miscast of Barrymore in drag... It also felt like Brown was trying to one up James Whale, instead of paving his own way.

How the hell a film like this even got made in its time is almost as amazng as how well it works. Browning made Barrymore in drag controlling little people surprisingly empathetic.

Another strange tale from Browning. The film doesn't always work, but it does succeed in being honestly different.
