A major film classic about human identity and perception. It appears to be the first step in a line that leads to Sunset Boulevard, Hitchcock's TV version of Ray Bradbury's "And So DIed Riabouchinska", to Psycho, to Mulholland Drive. A ventriloquist split into two identities (his dummy being the realist, the ventriloquist a deranged fantasist) becomes a major celebrity in Ziegfeld-like shows that function by crazy illusions and hypnotic uses of music and dance to create the level of fantasy that drove Norma Desmond mad. The ventriloquist is as hopelessly under the thumb of his dummy as is Norman Bates. Every spectacular number focuses on human romance as a battle of conflicting identities and impulses that contradict that rosy illusions the performers project on-stage. And the culmination is the resolution of the true love story depicted by Betty Compson. It is tempting to try to imagine how von Stroheim and Gloria Swanson must have discussed this film when working on "Sunset Boulevard", as von Stroheim appears to have still been playing the character of The Great Gabbo, with Norma Desmond as the dummy ... who once again breaks away from Gabbo by dint of insanity.

Despite Great Gabbo coming out first, this movie reminds me of those 2 Twilight Zone episodes, The Dummy & Caesar And Me. There is also a British film called Dead Of Night, with a segment called The Ventriloquist's Dummy, which reminds me of Great Gabbo.

You beat me to it Omar. I was going to remark on the Twilight Zone episode you mentioned. I really think Rod Serling must have seen this movie before penning his ventriloquist episode. Only Serling's stories were quite darker. This was a strange one, one third the Gabbo story, and two thirds burlesque dance numbers. Gabbo was a nut case and a bully, while Mary was an airhead and kind of a floozy. Feel sorry for that guy that married her. Sound was fuzzy and often very difficult to understand. But hey, what does one expect from a movie close to 100 years old? Thanks again Cult Cinema Classics. Till next time my friend!

Interesting Early Talkie, stilted in spots but enjoyable. Gabbo is a hybrid mix of musical and melodrama, a startling portrait of a Narcissistic Sociopath that only Von Stroheim can play to the hilt. The way he abuses Mary / Compson then later tries to "love balm" her that he has reformed is straight out the Narcissist's playbook. I wish Betty Compson's stardom was re-evaluated, a shame how this once Oscar - nominated leading woman is so forgotten. She has a quirky but lovely speaking voice.

Super creepy I’m sure this ie. is where they got the idea for the horror film genre featuring ventriloquist dummy such as “Magic” and “Puppet Master” and variations like Chucky this was quite unexpected for 1929 but seeing some of the German silents in the horror genre from time that were also ahead of their times I could see how this came to be This is more surprising and subtle as it belongs to the psychological horror no bloodshed or gore but the depiction of madness and genius I’m sure this was Eric’s idea and he is more playing his depicted self with ironic satire and sarcasm

This is sort of a schizophrenic movie. It's an early talkie, and they wanted to show off the singing and dancing, as if it were a Busby Berkeley musical. Yet, on the other hand, it's a psychological drama, and the lengthy dance numbers interrupt the flow of the drama. As such, while it was entertaining, it didn't work for me as a musical, and it didn't quite work as the drama it could have been.
