Description by OLDIES.com:
After a botched hit on a casino, the criminal mastermind John Muller has nowhere to run. With a band of killers on his trail, he hides out in an anonymous office job, knowing that his days are numbered. When he is mistaken for the psychiatrist Dr. Bartok, he finds his escape route. The doctor is a dead ringer for Muller, except for a hideous scar on his face. By inflicting the gruesome wound on his own cheek, the criminal is able to assume Bartok's identity. Through a twist of fate, Muller cuts the scar onto the wrong side of his face and finds his survival threatened. Unable to keep this precarious balance any longer, he makes one last attempt at escape before fate closes in on him. Paul Henreid produced and starred in this inspired film-noir thriller. The nail-biting tension is magnified by phenomenal performances by Joan Bennett (Scarlet Street) and John Qualen (Paul Henreid's co-star in Casablanca). The Scar also introduces Dragnet's Jack Webb in his first motion picture role.

Haunting
Movie Lover: Jeremy Weinstein from Walnut Creek, CA US -- January, 25, 2009
Excellent cinematography by John Alton. Fascinating. Excellent performances by Paul Henreid and Joan Bennett. Plot about as subtle as a house on fire, but plenty enough to chew on.
Taking on the identity of a psychiatrist, even though he is horrified on discovering he has scarred the wrong side of his face, he's in the clear as everyone in his life is so self-absorbed, they don't notice.
The Scar
Movie Lover: henri donadille from clamart, Hauts-de-Seine FR -- May, 8, 2004
Incredible, far-fetched story of a man that assumes another mans place is definitly done on an A budget, definitly film noir and definitly intiguing!
Nice performances by Henreid and lovely Bennett.
Worth a viewing!
Nice print.
