Best storylines back then, always great productions.
Thank you for posting this masterpiece, I always wondered why my Mother said Robert Colman was an excellent actor,well she was correct, they don't make 'em like this any more 🙁 🙁
On peut avoir des sous-titres en français , please
Superb performance by Coleman. Always one of the better actors. Of course Shelly Winters was going to be his downfall. Thanks for this movie- just not as good any more
I can't imagine what goes into live theater to have a successful opening night. The living, breathing life into a role on stage and becoming that character off … a sad psychological descent. He knows at 55:02 how alone he is (off stage). Jealousy, as ugly as it is, slowly consumes his mind in his real world 58:37. He has nothing else but the waiting upon the opinion of others of his acting 1:42:22. Magnificent cast and performances by all.
Loved it. The scenes were long with plenty of script for the actors to learn and learn them they did. With the current crop of movies the actors have, in the main, so few words to learn. RC was an excellent actor and in this film he had to act for the whole film in two roles.
He'd sat pensively rehearsing lines, his basement table nestled by the stairs & the bustling kitchen full of passionate Italian voices. (20:59) To which the well dressed lonesome diner says " As we can call these delicate creatures ours & not their appetites"
Thank you for posting such an amazing, sharp, clear in sound and color version of this movie. We really enjoyed it.
Shelley Winters was a hot tomato and Signe Hasso was almost ethereally lovely.

Playing the Moor for two years would drive any actor round the twist!
Extraordinary
Perdition, catch my soul! Glorious black and white! Whit Bissell! Betsy Blair!
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful film. Beautiful copy, as well.
“I lost your number!”
Colman gives a powerful performance. However, it's hard for me to understand how someone can get so wrapped up in make believe that he becomes a murderer. Unless he has a disease, head injury, or actual severe emotional trauma.
Peter Sellers felt that way. When not in character, he didnt know who he was.
Except for Random Harvest this.is Command finest hour
best to watch this later at night, guaranteed to put you to sleep
A PSA about the dangers of too much Shakespeare.
Great movie..
ANOTHER (LESSER SEEN) EXAMPLE/JEWEL AS TO WHY RONALD COLEMAN IS SO GREAT: ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES. I only wish Shelly Winters play a role where is DOESN'T die. I mean she's a great actress, …BUT (!!!) why do she have to either play a bitch to be hated (A Patch of Blue) or some sleazy bad guy (Bloody Mamma); HER EARLY 40s movies were great and should be shown more, … she was sexy in her youth AND great.
The only hope for each person is the living FREE gift of God by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
Fkin jealous of his speechless performance what a guy…ronald..what a distinctive voice..man….never get enough of this old souls…such a fine class..I want to read his book wrote by his daughter…anyone can help me where can i get that book?
It is suggested that "A Double Life" is a remake of the 1936 British film "Men are not God's" with Miriam Hopkins, Gertrude Lawrence and Rex Harrison. Beyond "Othello," the plot is dissimilar.
“One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go”. What a wonderful movie and great performance by Ronald Coleman. No wonder my parent’s generation (I’m in my 60’s) thought so much of him. Films and actors of this calibre just don’t exist anymore.
Do you think an audience in 1947 would be familiar with Othello? Ask people in your home or office. Did you notice how often someone was drinking coffee (or something) in each scene. Even the two wigmakers were talking about how they take their coffee.
Method acting gone awry. Look for Betsy Blair, child bride of Gene Kelly, as the rejected ‘double’ of Shelley Winters.
