THE TWO MRS. CARROLLS

1947, Warner Bros., 99 min, USA, Dir: Peter Godfrey

Humphrey Bogart gives one of his strongest - if barely known - performances as a mentally disturbed painter whose second wife (sensational Barbara Stanwyck) gradually realizes her husband’s preferred medium is… murder! Released at the height of public fascination with the Bogart-Bacall romance, the film flopped and has rarely been revived in recent decades. Here’s a chance to see Bogart at his most deliciously villainous, opposite one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, and a wicked and witty Alexis Smith. “You’ll see the tensest star-teaming in years! You’ll see excitement to keep your pulse jiggling!”

THE DARK MIRROR

1948, Universal, 85 min, USA, Dir: Robert Siodmak

“When he called her ‘killer’… and took her twin in his arms… Did he know which was which?” Witnesses place Ruth Collins (Olivia de Havilland) at the scene of a grisly murder. When it’s discovered she has a twin, Dr. Elliot (Lew Ayres) is brought in to psychologically evaluate them both. When the doc falls for one of them, the other becomes murderously jealous. Noir master Robert Siodmak deftly directs this Oscar-nominated original story, guiding the great de Havilland through two sensational performances, as the sisters both sweet and sinister. Preservation by UCLA Film & Television Archive, funded by The Film Foundation. Not on DVD!
