The Great Gabbo (1929) is an early talkie psychological drama in which a brilliant but cruel ventriloquist slowly loses his grip on sanity, expressing his true feelings only through his dummy Otto while his real relationships crumble around him. One of the first films to explore the eerie psychology of ventriloquism.
Starring Erich von Stroheim, Betty Compson, and Don Douglas. This film is in the public domain and free to watch, download, and share.
