Vanda Hudson

After mutilating a patient, a plastic surgeon (Anton Diffring) is booted from the medical profession and goes into hiding in France. There, he transforms disfigured female criminals into beauties who perform in his traveling circus. But when some of the women meet with horrific "accidents" when they try to escape, Scotland Yard begins to take notice. Donald Pleasence and Yvonne Monlaur co-star in this grisly British cult classic.

With a lovely wife and a resplendent manor that's a de rigueur stop on tours of England's stately homes, Sir Mark Loddon leads an enviable life. Then a newspaper charges that Loddon was killed during a wartime escape from a POW camp and a look-alike has since ruled the baronet's realm. Outraged, Loddon sues for libel, setting in motion revelations of war, memory, trauma and deception that causes Lady Loddon (Olivia de Havilland) and Sir Mark (Dirk Bogarde) himself to question his identity.
