When his sister falls under the sadistic spell of her Svengali-like sadistic husband, acclaimed stage star Damon Wells (Edward G. Robinson) decides hell do whatever it takes to save her. What it takes is murder. And what it takes to get away with murderis a perfect disguise created out of greasepaint, false whiskers and a brilliant actors skill. Heading a top cast that includes Mary Astor, Ricardo Cortez and Louis Calhern, Robinson is marvelous wearing either of his two faces in this clever thriller based on a popular play by George S. Kaufman and Alexander Woollcott. A special treat: the surprising (and satisfying) ending, unorthodox for a movie made in the Production Code era. **Please be aware that this is a manufactured on demand disc that was created using a DVD-R disc. It should play in all standard DVD players.
