Hollow Triumph, also known as The Scar in the United Kingdom, is a film noir released in 1948. It was directed by Steve Sekely and stars Paul Henreid and Joan Bennett.
John Muller (Paul Henreid), medical school dropout and brilliant crook, plans a holdup at a night spot. The robbery goes bad and the mobsters running the place know exactly who tried to rob them. Muller decides to leave town and lie low. While hiding out from the mob, he takes an office job recommended by his straight-as-an-arrow brother but he quickly decides that working for a living is nor for him. An opportunity for a big score comes to mind when he finds out that he’s the exact look-a-like of a local psychiatrist – the only difference is the doctor has a large scar on the side of his face. He plans to kill the man and take over his life.
