(More customer reviews)Truly one of the greatest of all movie stars and a very underated actor this movie glows with Cagney's talent in his depiciton of the life of Lon Chayney. Unlike so many hollywood bios of the time this move tends to steer away from the usual sanitization of a character and instead confronts the darker side of Chaney, a man beset by torments. Poignant, powerful in it's day with the head on look at how deaf people were treated, and indeed with the tragic aspects of Chayney's first marriage. For me this movie stands the test of time exceptionally well, thanks in no small measure to the performances, notably the conflict between Chaney and his first wife wonderfully played by Dorothy Malone. This is one of the great ones!

James Cagney gives an unforgettable performance as the great film star Lon Chaney. Although successful, the legendary film star led a life of a reclusive nature, earning him the reputation of the man of mystery. "Man of a Thousand Faces" traces this long-suffering talented genius through marriages, children and Chaney's most famous roles.
