A Woman's Face (1941)
The premise of A Woman’s Face is much more interesting than the execution, but since that’s the case with a lot of movies, if you love Joan Crawford, you can rent this one if you want to. She plays a woman who has a terrible face disfigurement and gets plastic surgery, then rises in the ranks of the criminal casino world and becomes incredibly wealthy. The movie itself is told through flashbacks in a courtroom, and as all the witnesses wait in the back room to be called before the judge, they get antsy and irritable. Then, one by one, they take the stage and tell a portion of what they know about the murder.
It sounds interesting, and parts of it are, with double crosses aplenty and mysteries keeping the film running. Most of it, though, feels like a giant buildup to Joan Crawford having a hysterical meltdown, which she never does. There are two sides to Joan Crawford, and this is the later version. If you liked her stoic performance in Mildred Pierce, you’ll like her in this movie. There’s also a large supporting cast, including Melvyn Douglas, Reginald Owen, Albert Bassermann, Marjorie Main, Donald Meek, Connie Gilchrest, Osa Massen, and Conrad Veidt.
