Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the original release of the film, an English film critic for The Spectator was nearly fired for writing it a positive review, while the general critical reaction had been poor.
- GoofsWhen she's not wearing it, Christiane's mask is very thick and heavy and would only seem to cover her face. When she puts it on, however, it is very thin, close-fitting, and seamlessly covers her jawline and the underside of her chin, revealing that the mask itself is a prop while the actress probably wears a combination of makeup and prosthetics.
- Quotes
Doctor Génessier: Smile. Smile. Not too much.
- Alternate versionsThe films initial 1962 release to the US was edited and the film was re-titled. The surgery scene was cut down for content, while scenes that made Dr. Genessier seem sympathetic (particularly the scene where he cares for an ailing boy) were also edited.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Cinéma, de notre temps: Georges Franju, le visionnaire (1996)
Featured review
Windows to the Soul...
What would you do, if the daughter you'd seen grow, became a different person, and it was all because of you, if an accident while driving, meant you taking and depriving, the one thing that kept her thriving, just how far would you then go? Would you kidnap, maim and tear, the visage from jawbone to hair, of several innocent young maidens, force them to unmask, unladen, would you use your surgeon status, with theatrical apparatus, to peel their facial epidermis, is that something you could bear?
Le docteur Génessier takes advantage of his skills and training in order to restore the features of his daughter in a haunting tale about the lengths you might go to if an opportunity presents (assuming you have the guile and the skills to pull it off).
