Stolen Face

Stolen Face is a 1952 British film noir directed by Terence Fisher and starring Paul Henreid, Lizabeth Scott and Andr Morell. It was made at Riverside Studios by Hammer Film Productions. With its theme of a man who, after the sudden end of a powerful romance with a beautiful blonde tries to recreate her by altering the appearance of another woman, it is clearly a forerunner of Vertigo directed by Alfred Hitchcock six years later.

Back at his London surgery, Ritter receives a phone call from Alice, who informs him she is to marry David Andr Morell. Meanwhile, Ritters new patient is Lily Conover Mary Mackenzie, a female convict whose face is disfigured. The lovestruck surgeon believes he can change her criminal ways by constructing her new face to resemble that of Alice. He does so, and they marry. Now identical to Alice, she is played by Scott.However, Lily has not changed her ways. She soon grows bored of Ritters sedate lifestyle, and returns to a life of crime and partying. She is reckless in her behaviour, and unabashedly flirtatious with other men, and he comes to despise her. ........
