Man of a Thousand Faces

Slightly more melodramatic than it needed to be, but still had the moxie to give a warts and all portrayal. Make-up was a rubber mask farce though.

Cags gives his all, in a variety of elaborate disguises, as Chaney. Sturdy. In a flattering bit of casting, handsome "77 Sunset Strip" costar Smith plays Lon junior.

Not a very accurate biography, but an entertaining movie and a fine tribute to one of the earliest legends of motion pictures. You might not think Cagney a good choice to play Lon Chaney, but he pulls it off with aplomb

Em honra dos 120 anos de nascimento do grande James Cagney. Tudo bem que a ficcionalização disso peca pela falta de simbolismo, tudo bem que eu tenho que aguentar o Robert Evans atuando, mas não está tudo bem limarem o Tod Browning do filme, este que formou uma grande parceria com Chaney dirigindo seus melhores filme. Humpf. DVD Obras-primas do Cinema.

This movie starts a little slow but gains momentum in the second half of the film. James Cagney gives a great performance and is a joy to watch.

99% fiction, but James Cagney is always awesome.
