''A Woman’s Face'' (''En kvinnas ansikte'', 1938) is a Swedish melodrama starring Creator/IngridBergman as the titular woman.
Anna Holm (Bergman) became disfigured as a young girl. This disfigurement has left her bitter; the world has treated her horribly and made her a social outcast. So, she begins a life of crime, mainly blackmailing rich women, caring little and doing little to make people care for her.
But when she has the chance meeting with Dr. Wegert, a plastic surgeon, she decides to go under the knife. However, her life of crime follows her when she’s made to complete a plot to kill a little boy for a greed young man.
The Swedish film was remade in 1941 in Hollywood, starring Creator/JoanCrawford.

!!Tropes:
*BeautyEqualGoodness: Once Anna becomes beautiful, she gains a conscience she never had before her disfigurement (or was it there all along?).
*BittersweetEnding: Anna doesn’t end up with Harald although they both admit their love for each other. She admits that it would be too difficult to forget what she was hired to do.
*{{Blackmail}}: Anna’s stock and trade. She targets rich women, most who she blackmails for having affairs. She meets Dr. Wegert by trying to blackmail his wife but gets caught.
*ButtMonkey: Anna’s posse of bad guys love to make fun of her. A bad idea given Anna’s HairTriggerTemper when discussing that subject.
*{{Chiaroscuro}}: The film is chock full of deep shadows and plays between lightness and dark.
*ChickFlick: A disfigured woman becomes beautiful and must choose between evil or good.
*DefrostingIceQueen: Anna’s slow transformation after her surgery reveals that she can no longer be that bitter woman she once was.
*DramaticUnmask: After Anna’s surgery, she’s slowly de-bandaged for dramatic effect.
*{{Flashback}}: The events are told at a court proceeding where they’re deciding whether Anna is guilty of murder.
*FacialHorror: Anna’s disfigurement, and no one lets her forget it.
*IJustWantToBeBeautiful: Anna just wants to be accepted by society, and that acceptance comes from being beautiful.
*InheritanceMurder: Torsten was to inherit his uncle’s fortune, but then Lars-Erik was born and took the inheritance. His plan is to kill him, make it look like an accident, and he wants Anna to do it for him.
*LaserGuidedKarma: Torsten’s horse goes wild and throws him to his death while he was trying to kill little Lars-Erik.
*TwoFaced: One side of Anna is Ingrid Bergman (i.e. beautiful), and the other side is disfigured and scared. Not quite as complete as other two-faced individuals (as the disfigurement is mostly her cheek and some of her eye).
*YourCheatingHeart: Dr. Wegert’s wife is cheating on him. Not with just one man, but with several.
*WouldntHurtAChild: Anna has a change of conscience and decides follow the plan to kill Lars-Erik. The same can’t be said for Torsten.
