The Face Behind the Mask

Considering suicide, unable to find work after being disfigured in a fire shortly after his arrival in New York, Hungarian immigrant Janos (Hungarian-born Peter Lorre) frightens a citizen, then meets ebullient Dinky (George E. Stone), in The Face Behind the Mask, 1941, directed by Robert Florey.

Convincingly innocent and charming Hungarian-born Peter Lorre as Hungarian immigrant Szabo, first on the boat with a steward (David Oliver) then in New York eventually meeting plainclothes cop O’Hara (Don Beddoe), opening The Face Behind The Mask, 1941, directed by Robert Florey.

Immigrant Janos (Peter Lorre), suddenly rich after finding he’s a gifted thief, but raising mainly money for plastic surgery after being disfigured in a fire, receives his custom-made mask, with Dinky (George E. Stone), whose ex-boss (James Seay) soon appears, in The Face Behind The Mask, 1941.

Distraught after learning that plastic surgery is impossible, disfigured immigrant turned master criminal Szabo (Peter Lorre, pretending to be wearing an excellent Peter Lorre mask) meets blind Helen (Evelyn Keyes), who doesn’t care how he looks, in The Face Behind The Mask, 1941.
