Alternative title: The Scar
A criminal on the run from a gangster whose casino he tried to rob finds out he has an almost exact lookalike in the person of a psychoanalyst. It so happens that said criminal has some medical background thanks to having been a student of medicine for two years.
Entertaining crime drama. Don't expect too much plausibility from it, but there are some clever plot twists and some equally clever psychological insights too. This film is curious also for the fact that, while dealing with the subject of dead ringers, it features a leading lady who looks remarkably like the leading lady in Samson and Delilah; also curiously, both actresses were married in succession to the same man. The leading actor in this film must have had a special liking for this subject matter, seeing as he went on to direct a TV movie named Dead Ringer in 1964.
