Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMany of the Oscar-nominated special effects pioneered by this film were employed later on similar projects requiring actors to play their own twins, including The Parent Trap (1961), The Patty Duke Show (1963), and Bette Davis' unofficial remake of this film, Dead Ringer (1963).
- Goofs(at around 25 mins) Admittedly, the special effects/trick photography are superb, especially for its time, but there is a moment just after Kate hands Pat a lit match, when Kate turns transparent. It's when she's behind the chair Pat is sitting in and moves to the right. As she starts her move, her waist becomes transparent for just a split-second, and the bed can be seen behind her through her hip and waist area.
- Quotes
Kate Bosworth: Lonely people want friends. They have to search very hard for them. It's difficult for them to find...
Bill Emerson: Other lonely people.

I found the first half of the picture dragged for me, with a lot of dark shadows, and meandering scenes at the light house. Once the story picked up, and the "evil" twins goes over the side of the boat, then I knew I was in for some good old fashioned Bette Davis fun. I was very impressed with the creation of the "twins." For 1946, I found the scenes quite convincing, and wondered how they did that. The sets were fabulous, I'd take any of those houses, but thought the costumes were somewhat lacking. No, "Now, Voyager" stunning outfits for sure. Glenn Ford was fine, and very young, however I didn't care for the struggling artist side story. I would like to have seen much more of Kate trying to pass herself off as Pat, for that was the fun part of the film for me.
