This Oscar nominated screenplay penned by Nunnally Johnson and based on an original story by Victor Pozner stars Olivia de Havilland in the dual role of identical twins Terry and Ruth. In this psychological thriller, directed in 1946 by Robert Siodmak, a man is found dead and his girlfriend Terry is identified as the lead suspect. However, the case is immediately made more complicated when it is revealed that Terry is an identical twin. Unable to determine which of the twins committed the murder, police turn to a doctor specializing in research on the psychology of twins to help solve the case.
“What really makes it work, though, is Siodmak’s firm grasp of mood and suspense; the opening scene, in which the camera prowls a darkened room until it finds a corpse, sets the tone perfectly for the sense of uncertainty and chaos that follows.”
