The Scar (aka Hollow Triumph)

While ducking the mob as the result of his latest scam gone wrong, failed med student/con artist John Muller (Paul Henreid) makes the fortuitous discovery of Dr. Victor Bartok (Henreid, again), an esteemed psychiatrist who's his physical double...except for a scar on his cheek. Though Muller contrives to kill the doctor and take his place, his scheme is going to hit some unanticipated snags. Exceptional noir co-stars Joan Bennett, Eduard Franz, Leslie Brooks. AKA: "Hollow Triumph." 83 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
