One night on the way home driving a sedate Rover Harold imagines
he's driving a state of the art Lamborghini sports car. Overtaking
every vehicle on the road he loses control and plunges into
oblivion.
While in intensive care his heart stops. As it re-starts,
for a moment, two beats show on the oscilloscope.
Some weeks later when he returns to work odd events occur.
He is being impersonated. Someone pretending to be him has
been; on holiday in Spain, has a mistress and is a regular
at racy gambling clubs.
Is he schizophrenic? Or have an unknown twin?
The Man Who Haunted Himself is one of Roger Moore's best
films. He conveys the two halves of the same coin with style.
The screenplay is adapted from a story presented on the 'Alfred
Hitchcock Presents' television series.
For the director Basil Deardon it is the final film; ironically
he dies in a car crash.
On several levels this is a movie worth watching.
