STOLEN FACE (1952) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Terence Fisher
Paul Henreid, Lizabeth Scott, André Morell
A poor man's "Vertigo", with Paul Henreid as a plastic surgeon who remakes a badly disfigured criminal in the image of the woman he loves. Noir goddess Lizabeth Scott has a dual role as a dishy concert pianist and the party-loving kleptomaniac who winds up with the pianist's face. Some girls you should just walk away from, especially in a movie like this one, but if you're the protagonist in a movie like this one, you can never just walk away. Produced by England's Hammer Films, in the years before horror became the company's specialty.
