How do you “unmask” performers whose entire careers depended on performance itself? Man of a Thousand Faces, Chaplin, and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers reveal less about their subjects than about the anxieties, values, and fantasies of their times.

This is also the only #SundayFunnies Wilder film I've seen before, & only Cagney comedy. But I do remember reading he used to be a song & dance man before the gangster movies.

I saw M (1931) this week & found it interesting to read that Peter Lorre was mainly known for doing comedies (in the theatre) before that film typecast him as a villain.

The Crowd Roars (1932), a Howard Hawks race-car melodrama. Also deals with the uneasy dynamics that develop when a woman enters this male world. Very Hawksian. Grown-up action movie with some depth. James Cagney and Joan Blondell are terrific.
