the evil twin inside me is literally my inner voice narrating my bad decision, so relatable.

a sharp and moody psychological thriller with olivia de havilland pulling off a fantastic double performance. it’s a bit talky and dated at times, but the atmosphere and performances keep it gripping. classic noir intrigue done with elegance and a touch of eeriness.

The film's relationship between psychology and crime gives it a very Hitchcockian feel, with the split-screen technique and the use of mirrors being used very professionally for the time.. Olivia de Havilland's acting is so good that they are clearly distinguishable, as if they were completely different people, even from their looks
Filmin psikoloji-suç arasındaki ilişkisi çok Hitchcockluk bir hava veriyor, split screen tekniği ve ayna kullanımı o zamanlara göre çok profesyonelce kullanılmış.. İkizleri oynayan Olivia de Havilland'ın oyunculuğu öyle güzel ki cidden her biri apaçık bir şekilde sanki bambaşka insanlarmış gibi bakışlarından bile ayırt edilebiliyorlar

You know what’s the only thing better than Olivia de Havilland? TWO Olivia de Havillands!!
No but seriously, this was awesome. I chose this rather obscure noir which I thought would be around a 6/10 to help myself sleep and found myself glued to the screen. Partly because de Havilland plays both a devilish murderer and naive victim, often at the same time. Siodmak slowly builds up tension throughout, choosing his more intense compositions carefully. But when they hit, damn do they hit. It is convoluted, has a rather predictable ending, and is pretty poorly written, but still so damn entertaining! This is one of the underrated gems of the 40s.
