The devil doll

Another gem from the vaults of MGM, written and directed by Tod Browning, Lionel Barrymore escape prison wirh a buddy who shrinks dogs and horses, and soon humans. The buddy dies of a heart attack and Barrymore (an ex-top banker conned by 3 associates) goes to Paris with the widow, dresses as an old woman and seeks revenge with dolls and redeems himself in the eyes of his daughter. Awesome.
