A Double Life (1947)
7/10
Worth a watch despite its wrinkles.
28 January 2021
Being a fan of nearly everyone connected with "A Double Life", I recommend giving it at least one viewing. The plot-rehashed to the max in these reviews-is intriguing, and almost everyone in front of and behind the cameras are show-biz legends. Viewing it again after several years, though, I had the same reaction as the first time, some years ago: there's talent everywhere, but the story moves slowly and has an excess of dialogue, except for a few scenes. When Ronald Colman is allowed to let loose, it picks up and is worth the wait. I think it should be seen at least once-if only as a tip of the hat to the acting, writing, and directing careers of the principals involved.
