Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe pinball machine seen in this film is a very rare "Salute" model made by the Baker Novelty and Manufacturing Co. in 1941. The company only made pinball machines from 1939 to 1941. Baker Novelty started in 1935 making trade stimulators. This pinball machine was a flipper-less electro-mechanical single-player game that gave five balls for five cents. In excellent playable condition it could be worth $1,500 or more at auction in 2017.
- GoofsWhen Arnold Milbar approaches Becker (posing as his twin brother Baron Von Detner); Milbar is holding a cigarette with his left hand. But on the next cut after introducing himself; Milbar is now holding the cigarette with his right hand.

Featured review
In one of his last roles, Conrad Veidt plays both the GOOD twin and the EVIL twin, during WW II. The "bad" twin tries to talk the "good guy" into helping the dark side, but he doesn't want to. According to IMDb, this was released in March of 1942, so just a couple months after the U.S. was dragged into WW II, in December of 1941. Just like the Bette Davis films, or every other "twins" movies, one of them poses as the other. Veidt would die quite young at age 50.....heart attack. Mostly slow. Predictable. No big surprises here, but an entertaining WW II film. The suspense of watching him maneuver as he tries to avoid being found out as an imposter. This could have been a Hitchcock, but its not. This was Jules Dassin's second film as director, making him the young age of 31 when the film was made. Not bad.
