Upon the release of "The Big City," Lon Chaney had already established himself as a major force in the realm of silent cinema. Renowned for his expertise in horror film makeup and his skilled portrayal of characters with physical deformities or profound sorrows, Chaney's versatility was his defining trait. He excelled in a variety of roles, depicting tough characters on both sides of the law with equal conviction. Chaney's collaboration with director Tod Browning resulted in ten acclaimed films, including this notable early crime drama set against the backdrop of New York.
