"West of Zanzibar" is a 1928 film directed by Tod Browning about the vengefulness of a cuckolded magician (Lon Chaney) paralyzed in a brawl with his rival (Lionel Barrymore). The supporting cast includes Mary Nolan and Warner Baxter. It is based on a 1926 Broadway play called "Kongo" starring Walter Huston. Huston starred in the 1932 talkie film adaptation of the same story using the "Kongo" title. "West of Zanzibar" is also famous with horror film fans for having lost or excised sequences that Browning filmed. Namely Phroso(Chaney) as a duckman in a sideshow act and scenes showing Phroso and his troupe when they first arrive in Africa where the majority of the story takes place.
