Stolen Face (Fisher, 1952): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6.10pm
This 35mm presentation (which also screens on October 1st) is is part of the Martin Scorsese's Hidden gems of British Cinema season at BFI Southbank. Details here. It's part of a Terence Fisher double-bill with 'To the Public Danger' (1948), also screening on 35mm.
BFI introduction:
This similarly noir-ish B-picture, made for Hammer, exploits the postwar
fascination with plastic surgery and identity, with Paul Henreid as a
surgeon, and Lizabeth Scott in a double role as the woman he transforms
to resemble the lover who spurned him.
James Bell
