Review of A Double Life (1947) by Miriam G — 11 Feb 2011
An incredibly well-written movie with cynically insightful eyes. While it's hard to detach Coleman from his "Zenda" sex-symbol status and see him as a great actor, he does his job admirably, deserving every inch of the Academy Award he won for his work on this movie.
The Othello scenes both onstage and off are well done and extremely spooky. This is really more of a Gothic thriller than film noir, and it fits well into the pantheon of Universal horror films. Absolutely worth a watch, but leave yourself time for reflection afterward, as it's very emotionally involving.
