Review of Man of a Thousand Faces (1957) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 08 Nov 2008
James 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.
