The Second Face is a 1950 romantic drama[2] film directed by Jack Bernhard and starring Ella Raines as a plain woman whose life is drastically changed by plastic surgery.

Insurance claims adjustor Mr. West visits her to find out what happened, but she refuses to talk to him.

Paul is attracted to her, despite her plainness, but is afraid to risk another potentially disastrous marriage (he is divorced).

When Phyllis is unable to find work, Claire has her fiancé, advertising man Allan Wesson, take her on as a secretary.

Jerry finally agrees to a date, but she accidentally overhears him telling Allan he intends to take her to a drive-in movie, where no one can see them together.

He goes to her apartment to make sure she is safe; suspecting that Jerry has done something to upset Phyllis, Paul punches him.

She also visits Moran, demands ten times the salary she was to receive when she was plain, and gets it.

Phyllis rushes back to Fresno, but he says that he believes she is coming to him only out of gratitude for his financial assistance.
