Archer500 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I really want to see this movie on the TCM. It's called," Man of Thousand Faces." It starring James Cagney [sorry if I spell his name wrong] as Lon Chaney Sr. I'm, a very big fan of Chaney, and enjoy watching his film on TCM. And I would really like to see a movie about his life.

busterchaney Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Keep in mind that while James Cagney does deliver his usual quality performance, enabling the film to capture the general essence of its subject properly, the 1957 biopic Man of a Thousand Faces is ? like all film biographies ? fictionalized. Viewer interest may be better served by watching the 2000 documentary Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces, by famed silent film historian Kevin Brownlow. This work also features noted Lon Chaney biographer Michael Blake, author of titles covering Chaney?s life and his make-up craft. Both of these films are kept in regular TCM broadcast rotation so just be patient and keep searching the schedule. The documentary is also available as part of the Lon Chaney Collection DVD (info link below). http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/movienews/index/?cid=35278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
