Duchess — The Spectacle Maker (1934)

The Duchess is one of the important people whose inner ugliness is brought to the surface by Hans Schmidt's truth-revealing lens. Her exposure demonstrates that the spectacle can reveal what a flattering appearance conceals, and places her among those whose freedom may depend on facing the truth.
