This was originally an MGM project with Greta Garbo lined up for the role. However, when she retired from films MGM rushed Joan Crawford into the role.
PLOT
Joan Crawford has one of her first great roles in this 1941 remake of a Swedish film that starred Ingrid Bergman. She plays a complex woman scarred in a fire caused by her drunken father. She has grown up as an outcast of society and turns to blackmailing as a way to make a living. Through a series of events she meets a plastic surgeon who operates and transforms her life. But she is ensnared with villainous Conrad Veidt who wants her to kill his nephew so he can inherit the family fortune. Anna becomes torn between the hope of starting a new life and a return to her dark past.
