Another Bette Davis good twin, bad twin. (spoiler)

Bette was a lot older in this movie. Great performance though playing twins. The good poor twin murders the ultra rich bad twin for reasons you have to watch to find out.
Karl Malden plays the cop boyfriend.
Peter Lawford plays the bad twin's sleazy lover. I must say Lawford really was sleazy in this. Not just acting but his looks. He was a good looking young man but really hasn't aged well.

Jean Hagen sure had completely lost her looks, to the point of being virtually unrecognizable from her former self, by the time of making this.
I just now viewed the trailer, since it's been so many years (probably ten or more) since I last watched the movie.

Respectable film and you're right, Bette really does a solid job playing twins.

I didn't realise it was her either till I saw the credits.

I'll always remember her as Lina Lamont in the movie "Singin' in the Rain (1952)".

She was great in that movie. Loved the movie too. One of my favourites
