Orson Welles' favourite actor James Cagney, too often remembered only for his tough guy roles, gives an unforgettable performance as Lon Chaney in this engrossing true story that follows the life and loves of one of the most iconic and mysterious stars in Hollywood history. Known as the 'Man of a Thousand Faces', silent film star Lon Chaney captured the imaginations and hearts 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 talented genius's life was filled with trials and tribulations that helped shape some of his groundbreaking performances.

Featuring a stellar, Oscar winning cast including James Cagney, Dorothy Malone (The Big Sleep, Written on the Wind) and Jane Greer (Out Of The Past, Against All Odds), and nominated for the Academy Award for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay in 1958, Man Of A Thousand Faces captures the dramatic private life of a humble vaudeville clown who rose to become one of the biggest stars the world has ever seen.

Man of a Thousand Faces will be released on UK DVD on 26th January 2009 at the RRP of £15.99.
