A twisty mystery thriller from 1959. Dirk Bogarde stars in this story of man pretending who he is not. A royal couple are on TV giving a tour of their estate when one particular viewee seems intrigued by the man & soon feels this person of lineage is an imposter filing suit to bring the culprit to justice. It turns out they both were prisoners of war along w/a third fellow who had an uncanny resemblance to the royal. The accuser soon makes his case that one man had taken over the other's identity & is now leading a stolen life. The case soon becomes the talk of Britain as the truth is mined for all its worth & the real identity of the accused man is made known to all. This could've been better but lapses in obviousness are staggering when we have Bogarde playing multiple characters & no mention is made of them being related or twins (as in the famous Prince & the Pauper story) to explain away the remarkable coincidence. Olivia de Havilland plays the wife who now doubts the man she's been w/for years & veterans actors Robert Morley & Wilfrid Hyde-White (I remember him in the 80's on Buck Rogers) play the dueling barristers in the trial.
