Swedish film, based on the play by francis de croisset. Was remade with joany crawford in 1941, with some really big studio names. Here, ingrid bergman is anna, who has a disfiguring scar. She blackmails people, with the help of her crew. When a doctor fixes her face, he encourages her to find a more honest profession. The suspense when he takes the bandages off! They keep hiding that part of bergman's face with equipment, a mirror, the doctor's head. Funny. Making us wait to see how it came out. As far as leaving one's past behind, it's more difficult than we think. Sometimes that past catches up and starts trouble again. Directed by gustaf molander. He made a TON of films with bergman. They made intermezzo twice... the swedish version and the murrican version. One funny note -- the swedish word for END, the last thing we see on the screen. Imdb thinks it's too dirty to type here, so you'll have to watch it for yourself. Funny.
