A Double Life
Directed by George Cukor, A Double Life could be seen as a grim satire of method acting. Ronald Colman plays Anthony John, an actor who gets a little too wrapped up in the characters he plays—and when that character is a murderer, his co-stars better watch out. Colman’s “real” co-stars include Signe Hasso, Edmond O’Brien, and Shelley Winters as the mad thespian’s adoring fan and eventual victim. Colman won an Oscar for his duplicitous ways.

About Daniel Kremer
San Francisco filmmaker Daniel Kremer has provided audio commentary tracks for Kino Lorber, Shout! Factory, AGFA, and Scorpion disc releases, and essays for Twilight Time special editions. His acclaimed epic-length film Overwhelm the Sky (2019), adapted from a 1799 American Gothic novel, was screened internationally in classic roadshow format, complete with overture, intermission, and printed souvenir programs. These deluxe screenings received many accolades before Kino Lorber acquired distribution rights. Kremer's book Sidney J. Furie: Life and Films was published through Patrick McGilligan's Screen Classics Series in 2015. He is currently under contract at Oxford University Press for the first book about Joan Micklin Silver. His other films include the independent dramas Raise Your Kids on Seltzer (2015) and Ezer Kenegdo (2017). He enjoys doing commentary tracks with fellow TFH guru Allan Arkush.
