Rating: 3/4 --
This is the usual Hollywood biopic that contains almost as much fiction as fact, but that doesn't dim enjoyment of this celebration of one of the all-time great horror stars.

Film Frenzy
Rating: 3/5 --
Dorothy Malone plays Chaney's nutjob of a first wife with such fire that you practically want to get a restraining order in her yourself.

Rating: 3/5 --
Hollywoodized biopic not quite saved by Cagney.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The picture is a bit too long and its sombre tone may irritate those customers who insist on ridiculing all old movies, but its rich sense of period and atmosphere and Cagney's superb performance make it an item worth seeing.

Maclean's Magazine
If you can suspend your disbelief, the lousy make-up doesn't detract from how beautiful, moving and loving a tribute to Chaney's legacy the film is.

Alexander On Film
'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]

Description by OLDIES.com:
James Cagney give a multifaceted portrayal of silent cinema legend Lon Chaney. In early horror classics such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of The Opera, Lon Chaney captivated audiences with his vivid personifications of grotesque characters. Despite his talent and success, Chaney led a life plagued by hardship and heartache. This film traces the trajectory of the actor's career.
