Sinopsis:

Philip Ritter, a philanthropic plastic surgeon, is jilted by Alice, a beautiful concert pianist, after a whirlwind romance. In desperation, he remakes disfigured criminal Lily in Alice's image, but learns to his very real cost that beauty is only skin deep.

Co-starring Paul Henreid and André Morell in his first Hammer appearance, Stolen Face has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives

Extras:

This limited collector's edition comprises:

• "Both UK and US iterations of Stolen Face with supporting material on two discs in a stylish digipak and rigid box: one UHD and one Blu-ray, with the content duplicated across both formats. "
• English, French, Italian, Spanish and German subtitles on each version of the film.

The disks feature:

• New commentary with Lucy Bolton, Professor of Film Philosophy, and Cathy Lomax, artist and film scholar.
• New commentary with writers Lizbeth Myles and Paul Cornell, creators of the widely acclaimed Hammer House of Podcast.
• Face/Off: Author, film-maker and Film Noir fan Chris Alexander examines actor Lizabeth Scott’s body of work and discusses why Stolen Face arguably features her best performance.
• Putty in His Hands: A mainstay at Hammer for a decade and the creator of some of the most iconic monster make-up in film history, Phil Leakey (courtesy of a private audio recording made in the 1980s) talks about his life and career alongside newly-recorded contributions from his son Peter.
• A Distinctly British Phenomenon: Film critic and historian Alexandra Heller-Nicholas examines the theatrical interpretation of sex and obsession that surface in 1950s drama productions.
• A gallery of stills and publicity material alongside tracks from Malcolm Arnold’s score.
• Un-American: Stolen Face featured a victim of the HUAC blacklist in front of the camera and one of its most fervent stool pigeons behind it. Thomas Doherty, academic, cultural historian and author, examines this fractious time in American history and how it affected a generation of film-makers.
• Dressed for Success: author and fashion historian Liz Tregenza profiles multiple Oscar-winning costume designer Edith Head and her work on Stolen Face costuming Lizabeth Scott.
