Dead Ringer
What Bette Davis does to Bette Davis and to Karl Malden and Peter Lawford in DEAD RINGER is just what "Baby Jane" people will adore!
A dark psychological thriller about class resentment and identity deception, anchored by Bette Davis's dual performance as twin sisters locked in a deadly game of impersonation.
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.
