In this film, Ingrid Bergman delivers one the most amazing acting performances that I've ever seen. Her character transitions from a villainous blackmailer who is self conscious about the disfiguring scar on her face, to a warm, loving, caring governess of a little rich boy, after a plastic surgery gives her back a normal looking face. Ingrid portrays this radical transformation of physical appearance, of character, & of personality in a smooth, nuanced, & quite convincing manner. This is truly a performance for the ages !!!
Never saw the Hollywood version & won't waste my time doing so. Nothing could top Ingrid's brilliant performance in this film.
