[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 439623, member: 7"] I decided to re-watch DEAD RINGER (1964) today, having not seen it in several years. It's a pretty good B-movie, as those things go and Bette turns in a solid performance, even if the movie isn't as shlocky as I remember it being. The set-up is relatively simple. A poor sister (Davis) decides to kill her rich sister (also Davis) and take over her life. The tables turn on her and she ends up paying for a crime she didn't commit. It's a classic case of karma. Davis hams it up some, but also seems to be just a tad restrained in some of the scenes, which I think works effectively. Karl Malden, as always, is a standout, while Jean Hagen and Peter Lawford are both relegated to smaller supporting roles. The movie doesn't do anything new, but I thought it offered a good amount of suspense and has some good B&W camerawork photographed by Davis's favorite cameraman, Ernest Haller.
