Customer Reviews of The Scar (aka Hollow Triumph)
A great and entertaining film! I highly recommend this film. It is very interesting and a well made film. I think it is well worth seeing. Both Paul Henreid
and Joan Bennett are great in it.
The Scar of Doom
Dark and suspensful,"The Scar" is a real sleeper. It seldom appears on anybody's list of essential films noirs. Part of the reason is surely confusion with the alternate title "Hollow Triumph". Nonetheless, this independently produced gem contains the very essence of noir. Paul Henreid memorably plays a convict who tries to change his own fate by taking advantage of a fantastic coincidence: recently released from prison and looking for a fresh start--he stumble upon a successful psychiatrist who is his exact double. The rest of the film spins a wonderful web of intrigue. And it doesn't hurt to have Joan Bennett along for the ride. Really a well-produced B movie, "The Scar" does utilize some plot cliches, but it proceeds with an unrelenting feeling of doom. Directed by Steve Szekely in a Fritz Lang-influenced style, this film should appeal to fans of "The Woman in the Window" or "Scarlet Street".
Awful Visual Quality
One of the many stunning qualities of this film is John Alton's mysterious photography--but you won't see anything near to what he created in this dreadful transfer from second- or third-generation source. It's not even black and white! More like some murky sepia. Wait till somebody responsible puts this out right.
