Bette Davis is just fabulous here as the embittered sister who kills her recently widowed twin sister and assumes her identity.
What makes this film so good is what Bette has to go through to keep this charade going. From the handwriting, to recognizing friends and rooms in the mansion, Bette has a field day.
The irony here is great when Bette realizes what a witch her sister is but it's too late to do anything about it. Just seeing why Bette goes to the chair at the end is just unbelievable.
Surrounded by an excellent supporting cast consisting of Peter Lawford as the playboy boy-friend of dead sister Margaret and Karl Malden as the man who loved Edith, the sister who has done the killing.
This film has been tremendously under-rated. Not to be missed!
