The Scapegoat (1959)
7/10
Doppelgängers
29 February 2024
I came across this movie quite by chance, I'm watching it as a fan of Alec Guinness, and because I have never heard of it.

It also features the American movie legend Bette Davis, I've never seen any of her movies, and I had no idea that they had ever appeared together in a film.

Guinness appears here in multiple roles, not as in his famous movie, Kind Hearts and Coronets.

But as doppelgängers two complete strangers, meeting entirely by accident.

John Barratt and Jacques De Gue appear together only briefly. The whole point being that, they are meant to appear identical to one another.

There are several English actors that I had hitherto, only seen in television programmes. Geoffrey Keen as Gaston, Noel Howlett as Dr. Aoin, Peter Bull as Aristide. Together with Eddie Byrne as the barman, and Peter Sallis as a customs official.
