I wanted to see this "The Man Without a Face"
Original title: L'homme sans visage, because I think all Georges Franju's films are worth seeing, and this is especially due to "Judex", which is, in my opinion, his best film and one of my favorite films of all time. I managed to see only three episodes on YouTube and 2 more fragments (these are on YouTube, there are no more). General impression: interesting, a lot of talking and less suspense, nothing surreal like in the masterpiece "Judex". When it comes to the acting, it is not very convincing and I am referring here to Gayle Hunnicutt who has a 90% mute presence, and Jacques Champreux in the role of L'Homme sans visage has a red mask on his face all the time and nobody can evaluate his acting performance. Clément Harari in the role of Dr. Dutreuil is annoying and exasperating, he has long interminable appearances in which he repeats the same phrases over and over. The most effective and the best actor in the entire cast is the German Gert Fröbe in the role of Police Commissioner Sorbier, a role exactly in the manner of Police Commissioner Lohmann played by him in the films with Dr. Mabuse. The music is very special and avant-garde for the year when the film was made.
