Leave your thoughts about Man of a Thousand Faces.
| Los Angeles TimesBarbara SaltzmanCagney is riveting as Chaney (who died in 1930 at the age of 47), enacting the many great roles the silent star made famous in startling cameo performances. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThanks to a dandy performance by James Cagney in the role of the great silent-film star, Lon Chaney, there is drama and personality in Man of a Thousand Faces. |
| EspinofAlberto Abuín'Man of a thousand faces' draws the figure of a myth, showing that you can get to the true essence of something, or someone, without being true to facts. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrJames Cagney gives it all his drive and speediness, but this plodding, straight-line 1957 biography of Lon Chaney Sr. never comes close to capturing the actor's obsessiveness or offering any insights as to how he made his personal pain and humiliation accessible and meaningful to a mass audience. |
| User ReviewCohen PCagney is great as Lon Chaney in this movie. A+ |
| User Review???oqMy favorite movie of ALL time. I love james cagney he's my #1! Cagney does an amazing job portraying Chaney and the costume make up is amazingly amazing |
| User ReviewWizard WA chronicle of the life of Lon Chaney, One of the many greats classic from Hollywood's golden age this remains one of the best. film with performances by James Cagney |
| User ReviewSage Ivy BThe story of Lon Chaney well acted by James Cagney |
| User ReviewBrandon ASuch an amazing film. James Cagney does a wonderful job of portraying Lon Chaney. Although their are some inaccuracies, I would certainly recommend this film to anyone. |
| User ReviewZoran SJames Cagney is wonderful as Silent film great Lon Chaney. Since this is a Hollywood biography, the film is a mix of fact and fiction. The scenes with Cagney in Chaney's makeup for some of his greatest films is a treat to watch. Soon to be Producer Robert Evans has a great part as Legendary Producer Irving Thalberg. A excellent film and a treat for film buffs. |
