Product Description:
Long before teams of technicians used computers to bring monsters and superheroes to the screen one man equipped with little more than a makeup kit and a remarkable acting talent dazzled moviegoers with his ability to transform himself into all manner of men monsters and outcasts.

The Ace of Hearts - a tale of murderous intrigue Laugh Clown Laugh - Chaney as a love-smitten circus clown and The Unknown - where Chaney is a armless knife thrower. These are in their most complete surviving versions. Narrated by Kenneth Branagh Turner Classic Movies' compelling documentary Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces explores Chaney's diverse career and very private personal life. They are a few of this genius's thousand faces - faces that continue to amaze and entertainRunning Time: 329 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSIC UPC: 012569579125

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must-have for Chaney fans!
This selection from the TCM Archives series is a worthy addition to your DVD library whether you are a Lon Chaney fan in particular or an appreciator of the art of silent cinema in general. Either way, you are in for a treat. Too many folk think of Lon Chaney as only a "horror" star, yet the celebrated "Man of a Thousand Faces" was far more than that -- and even his Quasimodo and Erik the Phantom are not merely cinematic monsters, but complex characters and, ultimately, very human ones. Their respective ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - QUALITY CHANEY!!!!!
This TCM Archive Chaney Collection is an excellent selection of films, commentaries, and extras. There's no hesitation in recommending this. The only problem is it's been nearly six years and I'm still waiting for Vol. 2.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Man of a Thousand Faces
In 1883 Leonardus Chaney was born in Colorado Springs, however the world would come to know him as Lon Chaney. Lon Chaney was one of the great American performers during the era of silent filmmaking. His success was due in part to the fact that he was extraordinarily skilled in his creation and application of makeup and prosthetics. But Chaney was more than just a great makeup artist. He was a highly expressive actor who utilized his entire body to create memorable characters. Though he is remembered mainly ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A good first look at Lon Chaney's work
Most people associate Lon Chaney as a star of horror films, but he was much more than that. This collection offers three of Chaney's films with commentary, a stills recreation of the lost film "London after Midnight", and a documentary on Chaney's life and work.

The oldest film in the bunch, "Ace of Hearts", was directed by Wallace Worsley, the same man who directed Chaney in the more famous "The Penalty" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Here Chaney is the member of a group of men who decide that ... Read More
