5/5 I believe that he knew
  by Carolyn A. Collins (Buffalo, NY)
Dead Ringer was and still is one of my all time favorites, but the more I watch the movie the more I realize that he knew that it was Edith that was going off to be executed. No matter what he could not just stay away. Like the police captain said he was obsessed. He would find stupid reasons to go the the Delorca mansion just to look at her. Then when she pulled that number in the mansion, Don't you know me Jim? He brushed it off then but the damage was already done. He could not get it out of his head, when she was being escorted off to the gas chamer what did he say? She knew when she did it was going to mess with his head, he had to live with the fact that he had signed her death warrant. He would not let go no matter what. He was obsessed. Look at the expression on his face again when she says " I'm Margaret Delorca Sargeant, as you say Edith would have never hurt a fly" It is the way she said it cynically. I believe that he knew at that time it was Edith.
Could be wrong, only my opinion. He probably will go back to the mansion and question everybody there the only one that knew was the Butler and the dog, the girl I believe knew too,

5/5 "Two Bette's Are Better Than One!'
  by Terry Richard (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada)
I have to admit I am an ardent Bette Davis fan. The first film of hers I ever saw was "Whatever Happened To baby Jane?" on late-night TV years ago, and I fell in love with her. I can't say I admire her like I do Joan Crawford, but Bette comes pretty close.
I've been lucky to pretty much see all her films over the years, but I really like her 1960's stuff the best; perhaps its watching how Miss Davis tears up the scenery, as well as her co-stars that makes me such a Bette fan, but I do believe a lot of her later motion pictures are underated and often ignored. These films, often known by some critics as "hag-films", are true classics. Bette, along with Joan, had one of the longest careers in pictures, and how they managed to survive, in an industry that swallows careers and actresses at whim, is a testament to how good they were at their profession.
"Dead Ringer" is well acted, directed, and superbly cast. In it we see Bette playing twin sisters, one good, one bad. One sister steals the identity of the other in order to live her ellegant lifestyle to the fullest. There are many plot twists and turns to satisfy the most ardent viewer, and the film flys by fast. Karl Malden has a secondary role as one of Bette's boyfriends, and Peter Lawford plays one of the best villins in '60s films.
Sit back and enjoy a good Bette Davis potboiler.
The film is beautifully restored and the DVD features an informative documentary on the movie. Author Boze Hadleigh is interviewed and offers some insightful info on "Dead Ringer" and Bette Davis. If you think Bette was good in "Baby Jane" wait until you see her in this one!

I love Betty Davis and this movie was terrific with her playing twin sisters. I saw this movie years ago and this was the first time I was able to get it on dvd.
