A Double Life Reviews

I like old movies, and try to appreciate them compared to their own times, but this one was hard to watch. Ronald Colman plays an actor who begins to take on the personality of his role, unfortunately his latest role is Othello. You know where this movie is going from the first few minutes and then it is painfully long too it's conclusion. It all seems overacted and melodramatic, which is fine for a play but is too much for the intimacy of a movie. The most interesting bits are without the main character, or any scene Shelly Winters is in. Unless you are trying to see every "Best Actor" movie (like me), I'd avoid this one.
