Anna Holm (Ingrid Bergman) is a terribly disfigured Swedish woman and small time criminal in Stockholm. Her misfortune and resulting emotional tumult has left her unable to sustain relationships and ultimately pushes her to a life of blackmailing schemes and ennui. A young doctor (Anders Henrikson) gives her the opportunity to regain some semblance of beauty and, with it, a chance at love. Will she be able to come to terms with her past and embrace a second chance at happiness?

Bruce L. @pharmboy1603 Sep 10 Even at this early stage of her film career and despite being in Swedish, Bergman’s star power is compelling. You will fall in love with her character and there is no way Joan Crawford could be this great. See more 11/20/2014 I haven't yet seen the Hollywood remake, so I can't yet compare that 1941 film to this 1938 original put out by Kino Lorber as part of their trio of films starring Ingrid Bergman before she bolted to Hollywood and became an international sensation. Even then, she has the beauty, charisma and talent to steal every scene she's in. Fun, if not essential, viewing, for any fan of the great actress.
