I watched Man of a Thousand Faces to find out more about the actor Lon Chaney.What I got was a fictionalised biography with James Cagney miscast. He was too old for the role although he would had been fine as the older Chaney who prematurely aged due to heavy smoking. He is also never seen smoking considering Chaney died of lung cancer at a relatively young age.The early scenes of Chaney and Cleva Creighton Chaney is like a bad soap opera. It almost makes you want to give up on the film. Cleva is painted as a selfish, self centered monster horrified by his parents deafness.The film gets going when we finally see Chaney, the man of a thousand faces. Cagney recreates Quasimodo and the Phantom of the Opera. It was this that made Chaney standout as a make up master when motion pictures were in its infancy.It does not help that the musical score is horrible. The film also has an acting part from legendary future Paramount studio head Robert Evans who ironically plays legendary producer Irving Thalberg. Thankfully Evans realised he was not much of an actor.
