The Face Behind the Mask (1941 Robert Florey)

Punchy little B movie (runs just over an hour) in which immigrant Peter Lorre is disfigured in a fire and becomes a successful criminal - until he meets blind girl Evelyn Keyes. George Stone good value as down-on-luck hood 'Dink'. With Don Beddoe (cop), John Tyrrell, James Seay.

Photographed by Franz Planer. Has a suitably nihilistic ending in the Arizona desert.
