FALSE FACES

Lowell Sherman (co-star of Griffith’s Way Down East) directs and stars in this unclassifiable mix of sophisticated comedy and grotesque horror, playing an unscrupulous surgeon whose innovative face-lifting technique still has some significant shortcomings.

All films digitally restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. DCP. Total 97 min.
