From Warner Brothers Archive Collection, THE MAN WITH TWO FACES has Edward G. Robinson playing Damon Welles, a stage actor known for his character acting. Damon's sister Jessica(Mary Astor)is on the brink of a "come back" after suffering a nervous breakdown. Jessica stars in a play along side her brother. The play is produced by her lover, Ben Weston(Ricardo Cortez); and all is well until her ex-husband Stanley Vance(Louis Calhern)comes around. Vance has always seemed to have a hypnotic hold on Jessica; and makes it known he will take money to leave her alone. When the much hated Vance is found dead; just about anyone could be the murderer. Damon's skill of playing many characters and a Gideon Bible are important in solving the murder case almost given up on. A well written crime drama directed by Archie Mayo. Other players: Mae Clarke, Henry O'Neil, David Landau and Arthur Byron.
