Product Description
ACADEMY AWARD® Winner James Cagney gives an unforgettable performance as Lon Chaney in this engrossing true story that follows the life and loves of one of the most iconic and mysterious stars in Hollywood history! Known as the Man of a Thousand Faces, silent film star Lon Chaney captured the imaginations and hearts of the world through his incredibly expressive and transformative roles, such as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Phantom from the original Phantom of the Opera. Behind the scenes, however, this long-suffering talented genius s life was filled with trials and tribulations that helped shape some of his groundbreaking performances. Featuring a stellar, OSCAR® winning cast including James Cagney (Yankee Doodle Dandy, White Heat) Dorothy Malone (The Big Sleep, Written on the Wind) and Jane Greer (Out Of The Past, Against All Odds), and nominated for the ACADAMY AWARD® for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay in 1958, Man Of A Thousand Faces captures the dramatic private life of a humble vaudeville clown who rose to become one of the biggest stars the world has ever seen!

Not sure why Universal themselves havent released this dvd here in the UK like they did in the USA but EUREKA have licensed it from them and have done a splendid job, superb quality print. No extras though (none on the US release either) shame, as Eureka are an excellent company and often put some interesting extras on their releases.

This is the film that started my teenage obsession with all things Lon Chaney, and probably fostered a general interest with films of his period for a lot of people. I had no idea at the time of what he even looked like, and was a bit disappointed when I found little resemblance to James Cagney. From a time when Hollywood 'biops' were popular this was pretty typical, romanticised and rather like a soap opera, but Cagney is as riveting as ever, and puts over the essence of the man. Good to see a decent DVD of this movie, dump any previous bootlegs you may have come across.

Any film starring James Cagney is always very good, but in this film he plays a totally different role. As the legendary actor Lon Chaney, Cagney's performance is spellbinding, magnificent. Highly recommended.
