''A Double Life'' (1947) is a FilmNoir starring Creator/RonaldColman, Signe Hasso, Edmund O’Brien, and Shelley Winters. It was directed by Creator/GeorgeCukor and boasts a screenplay from Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon with a little help from Creator/WilliamShakespeare.
Anthony John (Colman) is a great stage actor; however, his MethodActing often takes him too far into the deep end. Events go awry when he’s given the part of ''Theatre/{{Othello}}'', as his life starts to [[PlotParallel reflect that famous play]].
Caught up in the mess is his ex-wife Brita (Hasso) and publicist Bill (O’Brien) who Tony thinks are playing the parts of Desdemona and Cassio while waitress Pat (Winters) is also unwittingly involved.
This is the role that won Creator/RonaldColman’s first and only Oscar. Miklos Rozsa also won an Oscar for Best Music.

*{{Blackface}}: As is the unfortunate tradition with white men playing Othello, there’s blackface involved.
*DownerEnding: Tony dies by his own hand
*DrivenToSuicide: A strange case: during the performance, Tony realizes that his “bad dream” was actually his murder of Pat. Unable to cope with this fact, he actually kills himself with the prop knife.
*FilmNoir: A underrated gem from the classic era.
*GreenEyedMonster: As reflective of Othello, Tony becomes seriously jealous of Brita and Bill’s relationship. It seems that it wasn’t for nothing, since Bill does admit to being in love with Brita, but he never acts on it.
*JerkAss: Tony becomes won with the continual success of the production of Othello and gets into character so much that he actually chokes poor Brita.
