I remember it being made in colour I think in 1950s/60s. It was about a very rich grumpy businessman who is very unpleasant to everyone. Nobody likes him but they try to be nice because of his wealth and position. He’s in a wheelchair and you only see him from behind. When you briefly see a close up of his face he is alarmingly ugly (though not a picture of a real person). He was involved in a plane crash and someone painted his portrait depicting him in the plane crash in his wheelchair. It could possibly be an episode from a series of different stories similar to The Twilight Zone.
There’s an episode of Twilight Zone called The Masks:
Here’s some snippets, including the man in the wheelchair and the disfigured faces:
Thank you for the suggestion but this wasn’t about masks it was his actual face. You only saw it for few seconds in close up and it was also on the painting depicting the plane crash. You could tell it wasn’t a real face (though it was supposed to be his face of course). I can still remember it vaguely, I’ve never seen a face since that’s so disturbingly ugly. I remember others in the room watching it going "urgh" in horror. I don’t remember it being very long so it could be an episode in a series but I’m sure it was in colour so it may have been as late as the 70s.
