I kept rewinding and rewinding every time the twins were together and both played by Bette Davis (not the double). It was amazing how they pulled it off. Lighting a cigarette, straightening a collar, sitting on the arm of the chair the other one was in -- I'm impressed.

Yes, very well done. I was especially impressed with them walking down the dock side by side.
shareI agree. Amazing trick photography. And they didn't make it easy on themselves either. The boat scene, the cigarette scene, moving around, etc...
Pretty impressive.

That’s the very reason I signed on just now.
Hadn’t watched this gem for a long while (probably sometime before the internet) and was wowed by how well they had the ‘twins’ interacting with one another.
Totally convincing.

I had to do this kind of 'split-screen' once on a film called Clone Master...
I was extremely difficult !
This filmed amazed me with their special effects in that regard...
ergo...an Oscar Nomination !
Yes....fantastic scenes with "Bette and Bette". This film was made years before another film in which Bette Davis played twins, "Dead Ringer" (one of my favorite camp films), but the trick photography was even better in this one!!!
I just love Bette Davis---her mannerisms, her pauses and very unique phrasing, her unique voice inflections (one of which is pretty frequent and very uniquely Bette's), her occasionally dragged gait when she walked. She was definitely one of a kind, utterly charming and simply marvelous.
