Synopsis
A Double Life (1947) is a Hollywood psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by George Cukor from a Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon script, it gave Ronald Colman his only Academy Award for Best Actor — forty years into a career and finally the Oscar.
Anthony John is a celebrated stage actor currently running as Othello. His ex-wife Brita (Signe Hasso) is playing Desdemona opposite him. Night after night, the Moor's jealous logic seeps off the stage — Anthony begins acting on it in the real world, and a young detective (Edmond O'Brien) starts tracking the gap between the man's public charm and his private unraveling.
Cukor builds the trap slowly. Colman shifts between warmth and threat so cleanly that the transition is almost invisible — which is what makes it frightening. Stream A Double Life (1947) online on iFILM.
