Face Value poster

Released in 1927, Face Value is a notable film directed by Robert Florey.

What it’s about. Howard Crandall Jr., who comes from a wealthy family, has suffered a disfiguring facial injury during World War I, and at war's end stays in Paris rather than return home to his family and sweetheart Muriel looking the way he does. While in Paris he forms a secret society of men who are in a similar position. When he finally does decide to return home, his family and Muriel are at first shocked by his appearance, but they recover and try to make him feel comfortable and accepted. However, it's not before Howard begins to feel their actions are motivated more by pity than love, and when Arthur Wells, who was once Muriel's suitor, shows up one day and is greeted warmly and intimately by Muriel, Howard starts to think that his suspicions are justified.

Who’s in it. Face Value stars Fritzi Ridgeway as Muriel Stanley, Paddy O'Flynn as Bert and Jack Mower as Arthur Wells.
