About Dead Ringer
The working class twin sister of a callous wealthy woman impulsively murders her out of revenge and assumes the identity of the dead woman. But impersonating her dead twin is more complicated and risky than she anticipated.
Directed by Paul Henreid, Dead Ringer leans on a strong ensemble — Bette Davis, Karl Malden, Peter Lawford — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1964.
