LAUGH CLOWN LAUGH, MR. WU and WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS round out the top 5. THE UNKNOWN, the best of the Chaney/Browning collaborations (insofar as we know), came in 8th place, making less money than THE BIG CITY and the 1930 THE UNHOLY THREE.

Yet it was Chaney and Browning's highest grossing picture together and possibly Chaney's top money making film at M-G-M.That tells me that the critics of the time were possibly very off the mark, because it seemed to win over the ticket buying public.
