So, she begins a life of crime, mainly blackmailing rich women, caring little and doing little to make people care for her.However, when she meets Torsten Barring (Veidt), he is not repulsed by her disfigurement, and she falls deeply in love.At the same time, she meets Dr. Gustaf Sergert (Douglas), a plastic surgeon, who is intrigued by her mix of anger and vulnerability and offers to fix her face. Anna jumps at the chance and soon finds the world a different place but her love for Torsten leads her into a deep web of darkness.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film is a remake of the 1938 Swedish film, En kvinnas ansikte, starring a 23 year old upcoming Swedish actress, Ingrid Bergman.

Beauty Equals Goodness: Once Anna becomes beautiful, she gains a conscience she never had before her disfigurement (or was it there all along?).

Bastard Boyfriend: Torsten to a horrifying T. In his "Reason You Suck" Speech (see below), he’s holding and literally wringing Anna’s neck. It’s obvious that he knows his power over Anna and uses it to his advantage.
