One screen legend pays homage to another in Man of a Thousand Faces, an enthralling biopic which sees Oscar-winning tough guy 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 and afflicted characters. His extraordinary make-up skills, and miraculous ability to completely transform into grisly yet sympathetic and tragic monsters, garnered him international acclaim and the famous moniker of this film's title.Yet, despite his talent and success, Chaney led a life plagued by hardship and heartache. This insightful film-portrait traces the trajectory of the actors's career: from impoverished vaudeville clown to Hollywood stardom, whilst also capturing the drama that surrounded his private life. The film is presented here for the first time in dazzling High Definition, with a selection of revealing extras.Special Edition Contents:Brand new restoration from the original negative by Arrow FilmsHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationUncompressed Mono 1.0 PCM audio soundtrackOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingNew audio commentary by film scholar Tim LucasThe Man Behind a Thousand Faces, a newly filmed look at Lon Chaney and his legacy by the critic Kim NewmanImage galleryOriginal trailerReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys
