Known as the ‘Man of a Thousand Faces’, silent film star Lon Chaney captured the imaginations of the world through his incredibly expressive and transformative roles, such as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Phantom from the original Phantom of the Opera. Behind the scenes, however, this long-suffering gifted genius’s life was filled with trials and tribulations that helped shape some of his groundbreaking performances.

This much-admired biography of the great horror film star Lon Chaney is a particularly welcome addition to the DVD catalogue, showcasing (as it does) wonderfully monstrously recreations of many of the make-ups with which Chaney terrified silent film audiences, such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera. The main selling point of the film, though, is the marvellous central performance by James Cagney as the driven star, prepared to suffer for his art. Eureka's latest batch also has another stellar performance to cherish: Rod Steiger in Last Days of Mussolini - one of the actor’s most mesmeric performances. < less
