Leonard Maltin describes this AnthonyMann thriller, about a research scientist who experiments with her ownanesthetic, undergoes plastic surgery, and then assumes the identity ofa dead blackmailer (!!) as an "ultra-cheap film with almostnonexistent production values, turned into a tour-de-force ofexpressionistic direction and noir lighting in the best Mannstyle." Anthony Mann has never ceased to be "primal" forus, whether in his westerns, epics or noirs. We haven't seen StrangeImpersonation, but that is all to the better: the ultimate primal-screenexperience is in the first viewing. And what could be better than todiscover a new Anthony Mann film, restored by the UCLA Film andTelevision Archive? Join us and see if it "works" for you.
