5 reasons to see A Woman's Face (1941)

1. Seeing The Awesomeness That Is Conrad Veidt dancing in a Swedish Conga Line.

2. Some very nice B&W cinematography (as you can tell from the pictures)

3. Impressive, yet subtle burn make-up, which comes with Joan Crawford's impressive, memorable performance as disfigured woman-turned-criminal-turned-nanny.

4. Melvyn Douglas' amicable and likable performance as a gifted plastic surgen who so happens  to specialize in burn victims.

5. Conrad Veidt (again). Seriously, who else could make the description of someone else as   "a dove, a tame cowing dove. soft and weak and full of love for her fellow men" sound so sinister?

A Little Something for all Conrad Veidt fans

For a few months now, YouTube user ConnieVeidt has been uploading clips from our favorite German actor's films. Some of the titles have, until now, been completely unknown to me. It would be nice if entire films were given instead of tempting snippits, but beggars can't be choosers.

ConnieVeidt has also made a nice montage of his surviving movies. I wish the music was a bit was more rockin' and badass, but hey, there is plenty of Veidt, and that makes it automatically epic.

So if you feel like you can't get enough of the Awesomeness That is Conrad Veidt, be sure to check out this channel.

P.S. Judging from this footage, if his Cesare Borgia went against all the other fictional ones (including Orson Welles) Veidt would most certainly win in the unashamed villainy department.
