   It is said that Ingrid's first husband Petter made a brace for her to wear inside her mouth, which distorted her left cheek. 3 years 6 months ago

   The original Swedish version of A Woman's Face is a noir-ish melodrama that stars a young Ingrid Bergman as a scarred femme fatale, who turned to crime because her looks don't give her better opportunities. Anna is a cool character, whip-smart and ambitious, a bitter pill whose hardness is full of insecurity cracks. Then she gets the opportunity to get plastic surgery - you don't cast Bergman and leave her scarred for the whole movie, although I think I would have been interested in that - but can her heart be healed along with her face? The idea that beauty is good and ugliness evil isn't a particularly evolved one, but it does fit certain genres, including noir. And the film does make a good point about how looks engender a certain treatment from people, which has an effect on the life of a person, whether perceived as attractive or not. While the noir doesn't completely evaporate after the operation, melodrama does take hold and so the last two acts are a little tepid and even saccharine, and it's melodrama's rules that provide a resolution as the thriller fails. Great black and white cinematography though! 3 years 12 months ago
