      Victor T Lizabeth Scott tries her best for a cockney accent when playing the plastic surgery clone of high class self. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Initially compelling noir from Hammer Films that, ultimately, succumbs to a weak ending. Follows the story of a plastic surgeon who attempts to reform (and rehabilitate) a criminal into the image of his lost love. Could have been a winner with a better conclusion, alas . . . Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Its kind of Vertigo of the B movies, i like the atmosphere.... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A film worth adding to your collection. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member If cosmetic surgeons could create faces like Lizabeth Scott's at will, they would be making even more than they earn now, or did half a century ago when A Stolen Face hit theaters. (But then the surgically created evil twin has been a staple of pulp movies up to John Woo's Face/Off). On holiday somewhere in England, Paul Henried, as an M.D., meets up with concert pianist (!) Scott. They fall in love, but she's spoken for. Back in grimy postwar London, he finds a patient horribly scarred in the blitz, refashions her into the spit-and-image of Scott, and marries the impudent baggage (a Cockney fadge with one foot in the gutter and the other on a banana peel). Their marriage, for some reason, does not go well. Re-enter Lizabeth Scott, who now has to play a double role.... The movie's not terrible, at least, though these noirish exercises set in Britain always have a fusty, half-hearted feel to them, more a mug of white tea than a snort of bonded Bourbon. Both Scott and Henried were well into the downslope of their careers -- which may, more than the locale, account for the enervated pace and commitment. 3 stars 10-17-13 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this on Hammer's YouTube channel. The plot of this movie kinda remind me of 1935's Mad Love with Peter Lorre, but done in an interesting and well-written way. Terence Fisher once again proves that he's the only British director I can think of who can turn a solid story into a good movie.
