The Homely Girl (Hungarian: A csúnya lány) is a 1935 Hungarian comedy film directed by Béla Gaál and Henry Koster and starring Pál Jávor, Lili Muráti and Ella Gombaszögi. [1] The film marked Muráti's debut and launched her career as a star. [2] It was shot at the Hunnia Studios in Budapest. The film's sets were designed by the art director Márton Vincze. It has plot similarities to Koster's 1933 German film The Ugly Girl.

Synopsis

To gain revenge on the lawyer Halmi Tibor who unfairly laid the blame for an incident on her in court, the attractive Éva disguises herself as an uglier version of herself and gains employment in his office. She alternates between her two versions, one of whom he has fallen in love with. Things come to a conclusion on a trip to the Italian resort of Abbazia on the Adriatic.
