Anna Holm (Joan Crawford) is on trial in Stockholm for murder. Half of her face is disfigured from a fire when she was a child. As each witness testifies, the story of blackmail is revealed. Plastic surgeon Dr. Gustaf Segert (Melvyn Douglas) promises to fix her face.
The best half is the first half that has Crawford walking around like the Phantom of the Opera. It's a great look and a great premise. It becomes a bit less interesting after the plastic surgery and turns into a melodrama. Overall, this is a great showcase for Crawford.
