About The Great Impersonation
The second of the three film versions of the E. Phillips Oppenheim espionage thriller set largely in an old dark house where a tremulous wife wonders if her husband is really his double, a dastardly German spy.
Directed by Alan Crosland, The Great Impersonation leans on a strong ensemble — Edmund Lowe, Valerie Hobson, Wera Engels — 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 drama titles of 1935.
