Directed by Robert Siodmak.
When a doctor is murdered, several witnesses identify Ruth Collins (Olivia de Haviland) as a prime suspect, but she has several airtight alibis. Then, the police realize that Ruth has an identical twin sister and put a psychiatrist (Lew Ayres) on the case. The doppelganger motif, so prevalent in noir and German cinema (Metropolis [1927]), allows director Robert Siodmak to construct a dark world of moral ambiguity, in which mirrors reflect multiple realities.
