Double Life A (1947)
A knockout (Oscar winning Best Actor) performance by Ronald Colman this "Othello"-based story actually earned celebrated writers Garson Kanin & Ruth Gordon their first Best Writing Original Screenplay nomination as well; director George Cukor was also nominated. Edmond O’Brien Shelley Winters and Ray Collins also appear. Colman is an actor who becomes the characters he plays. He becomes so consumed by them that it drove his wife also an actress who still works with him to divorce. When he plays Othello he becomes Othello and in that haze murders (a waitress he meets?) Winters. Will he be found out and/or come to the realization of what he has done?
