- SynopsisPhilip Ritter, a philanthropic plastic surgeon, is jilted by Alice, a beautiful concert pianist, after a whirlwind romance. In desperation, he remakes disfigured criminal Lily in Alice's image, but learns to his very real cost that beauty is only skin deep. Co-starring Paul Henreid and André Morell in his first Hammer appearance, Stolen Face has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives.
This limited collector's edition includes both UK and US iterations of the film with supporting material on two discs in a stylish digipak and rigid box: one UHD and one Blu-ray, with the content duplicated across both formats. - Specifications
