a Swedish film of the same name, which, in turn, came from a French play, “Il Etait Une Fois,” by Francis de Croisset. In the Swedish production, Ingrid Bergman had the leading role and it was her performance in this one and the American “Intermezzo” that copped the attention of her presen’; Hollywood producer. Joan Crawford now essays the role. Already they're talking about Academy Awards, “most talkedof picture of the year,” etc. William Boehnel of the New York World-Telegram critically comments that Miss Crawford “gives the finest performance of her career.” As you can see, this apparently isn’t an ordinary motion picture. The story, told by flashbacks from a murder trial, centers ezbout Anna Holm, embittered because of a frightening scar which has disfigured the left side of her face. Hopelessly an outcast, Anna turns to blackmail as an expression of her contempt for society. Then she meets a penniless nobleman who does not turn away from her. As an act of gratitude,. she becomes his accomplice in a blackmail plot. The two conspirators fail to get their loot, but Anna meets Dr. Segert, who performs an operation which restores her face. Still strongly attached to the noblemen, Ann enters into a scheme whereby he plans to murder his young, nephew to gain: full rights: on an aged uncle’s estate. . But with Anna’s new face comes a new soul and in the end Anna kills her accomplice to save the child. Such is the role for which Miss Crawford long has striven. It gives her a chance to become a full-fledged actress, : # »
