October 31, 2009Cagney?s excellent performance enhances this interesting biography of Lon Chaney. It?s a very well crafted film, good direction by Joseph Pevney, but it is Cagney?s film all the way. Moving and always interesting.

July 4, 2008A pretty good Cagney film often overlooked. Cagney does a very good job of showing the hard times Chaney had, however the film does not really explore Chaney's craft at all.

November 7, 2007Wonderful film!!! Dramatic and touching--the whole family will enjoy it. The Lon Chaney story is one that needed to be told. The adversity of his childhood helped mold a determined man who changed the face of film. It's a wonderful and inspiring story.
