The Blood Rose (1970)
French film about a famous painter whose wife is horribly disfigured in a fire. He tells the world she is dead, and becomes a recluse in his country estate. He discovers that one of the people who work in his horticultural business is an infamous plastic surgeon, struck off for a botched operation on a child. This surgeon has been performing operations for criminals to change their appearance. With this information, our protagonist attempts to blackmail this surgeon into restoring his wife's lost beauty...
Interesting film, with the development of a good atmosphere.
I felt a little disappointed with the ending, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.
Worth a watch.
