Hollow Triumph movie scene

Paul Henreid takes his scar seriously in Hollow Triumph.

The under-appreciated 1948 film noir crime drama Hollow Triumph arrives from Film Chest with a full high-definition restoration taken from the original 35mm film elements.

When med school dropout-turned-master criminal John Muller (Paul Henreid, Casablanca) puts together a major casino heist, not everything goes as planned. The cops don’t know he was behind it, but, unfortunately, Rocky Stansyck (Thomas Browne Henry, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers), a vindictive gangland casino owner, figures it out. In order to “disappear,” Muller assumes the identity of a psychiatrist, Dr. Bartok (Henreid again, in a dual role), requiring him to scar his face to match Bartok’s … resulting in unforeseen consequences.

Also known as The Man Who Murdered Himself and The Scar, the film co-stars Joan Bennett (Secret Beyond the Door) and Eduard Franz and is directed by Steve Sekely (The Day of the Triffids).
