Peter Lorre is an immigrant watchmaker whose face becomes horribly disfigured in a fire and is subsequently shunned into a life of crime. A chance relationship with a young blind woman (Evelyn Keyes) offers hope of redemption, but will Lorre be able to reconcile the relationship with his criminal life? Tightly woven by Robert Florey and co-written by Paul Jarrico, this noir-stained drama deftly blends disillusionment, hope, and tragedy as exemplified by one of Lorre’s greatest screen performances. With: Don Beddoe and George E. Stone.
