The Great Gabbo (1929) starring and directed by Erich von Stroheim
Based on a story ("The Rival Dummy") by Ben Hecht

For mentally unstable ventriloquist Gabbo (Erich von Stroheim), nothing is as great as himself and his dummy, Otto. Gabbo berates those around him, including his assistant Mary (Betty Compson), blaming her for the duo's lack of success. When Mary leaves, Gabbo realizes how much he needs her. However, Gabbo is quickly falling into madness and speaks through his puppet, using Otto as his only communication with the world.

The Great Gabbo is a musical film based on the story The Rival Dummy by Ben Hecht. Hecht is also responsible for the screenplay for His Girl Friday. 

The Great Gabbo is also notable for having inspired the 1993 The Simpsons episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled", which features a ventriloquist dummy of the same name.
