Maria (SPOILERS!)


When the Dr. Polda's daughter, Maria is reunited with her father, he quickly sees that she is a fake. Was that the Anne Dawson character, returning from the earlier scene in Switzerland? I didn't catch any reference to whom she was, as in a name, in the Maria scene. And there isn't any other women in the cast that aren't accounted for. And, I'm assuming that she was not finished after her scenes in the earlier part of the film.

Did I miss something? or was that Anne Dawson reappearing when we were all expecting it to be Maria??

No, the fake Maria was not Ann Dawson (Marjorie Hoshelle). The two women look the same from behind, but their faces are significantly different. Besides, Jesper (Gary Cooper) would have recognized her immediately, and he didn't.

Lynne Lyons is listed in the database as playing two roles: Woman in Bank and Double. My guess is, she is the double for Maria.

I also thought it was Ann when she first walked into the room, so my eyes focused on Jesper. Since he did not react in the way I thought I realised it was not the case.
