Synopsis
The Dark Mirror (1946) is a film noir thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Witnesses place a woman at the scene of a doctor's murder, yet the prime suspect has an airtight alibi — because she has an identical twin sister.
Ruth and Terry are indistinguishable, and not even the police can tell which one held the knife. A psychiatrist steps in, using hypnosis and ink-blot tests to work out which sister is sane and which is capable of cold-blooded murder. Olivia de Havilland plays both women in a one-actress showcase, with Thomas Mitchell as the dogged detective and Lew Ayres as the doctor.
Robert Siodmak, one of noir's great stylists, builds the tension from doubling and envy rather than chases. For 1946, putting two de Havillands together in a single frame was a genuine technical feat. Stream The Dark Mirror (1946) online on iFILM.
