    Eddy G plays a double part!

    Edward G. Robinson always gives a solid performance, but in The Man with Two Faces, he's given the wonderful opportunity to play a double part and show off the French accent he could have used if he'd been cast in The Story of Louis Pasteur. He's really fantastic, and if you aren't looking for it, you might not even recognize that it's him!

    Eddie G plays a theater director who also acts alongside his sister, Mary Astor. Mary used to be married and controlled by her evil husband, but after she died, she was able to enjoy freedom and a renewed career. Unfortunately, her husband isn't as dead as everyone thought, and Louis Calhern makes an entrance right before the Broadway debut. Louis is so incredibly creepy, it's a wonder he had any career after this film. Mary is literally hypnotized by him and turns into an obeying robot whenever in his presence. It's eerie, and you'll probably feel like you need a good scrubbing after watching the movie. I had a double feature handy for later in the evening, even though Eddie G's performance was very entertaining to watch.

    not great, but very entertaining, rewarding

    This movie is a nice little gem, mainly for the witty dialog and impressive rank of actors who clearly enjoyed their work. No surprise there -- just look at the writers, source material and cast. Even the supporting players had great lines that they delivered with gusto. None of it is very realistic, but the set-up is great, much of the acting is over-the-top fun, and there is a great deal of humor. The finale is interesting -- it won't please everyone, but it is even-handed -- both pre-code and code aspects. See it and you will know what I mean. Incidentally, as another reviewer here noted, the TV Guide review (you have to go to the TV Guide website to see it) is WRONG about important parts of the plot and especially the ending. It is as though their reviewer did not see the movie!

    a snappy murder mystery; a filmed play

    Great acting from Robinson, and a little over the top, but enjoyably so, from Calhern and Astor. Very stagey, but good setups and moving camera. Beware the plot synopsis in the TV Guide movie database. It seems to describe the ending of the play, but the movie (a censored version?), which played on TCM, has a more ambiguous ending which works better and is more interesting (to me, at least). (Not that I'm for censorship, but sometimes...) Ironically, the play had a happy ending, and that is the one described by TV Guide and Maltin. It's amusing to see when the established references contain reviews that were written by people who had not seen the entire film, and in some cases not at all.

    Make it a Double

    Interesting and unusual movie. It seemed to start out as a routine backstage mystery, but as time went by, it got more and more convoluted. Edward G Robinson plays an actor about to star in a promising new play. Mary Astor is his actress sister about to make a comeback. It seems she was married to a Svengali named Stanley Vance, played by Louis Calhern. Mary was under his spell when he disappeared, until she hears that he died. She then goes to pieces. That sets the stage for the plot. It takes three years for her to recover, she falls in love with Ricardo Cortez, and when she is just about to make her breakthrough, he's back.

    Now it gets bizarre. She immediately falls back under his spell - and I'm not kidding. She doesn't respond to anyone but him. Her eyes glaze over. She walks around in a trance. In fact, she acts a lot like the current crop of actors we have coming out of Hollywood today. Anyway, Vance doesn't really care about her, he just wants to cash in on her share of the profits from the play. The problem for Eddie is what to do about it. Well, I won't tell you, except to say it involves a complicated, and totally implausible plan. It really doesn't matter though. If you wouldn't watch this movie for any other reason, watch it for the unbelievable, robotic performance of Mary Astor. It was mesmerizing in it's own right, but it unintentionally bordered on laugh out loud funny. If I have a complaint, it would be that the Code was in full force in 1934. You or I could have come up with a better finale.

    A sterling performance

    Edward G. Robinson turns in a pair of great performances as both an actor theatrical impresario and as a character he plays out in real life as a possible investor in his new show which stars his sister Mary Astor. Thus Robinson becomes The Man With Two Faces.

    Things seem to be going well when Louis Calhern shows up. He was actually thought dead and had very few who mourned him. Calhern is a thorough going cad, in a few years his would have been a part that George Sanders would have relished. But he has a strange Svengali like influence over Astor and for her sake he's barely tolerated.

    Robinson has had a scheme long in the making about Calhern. The problem is that Calhern is in need of money. That's where Robinson as the investor comes in.

    Don't want to give too much away. The film is based on a George S. Kaufman-Alexander Woollcott play The Dark Tower. I thought it a strange product for Kaufman. None of the satirical wit is present or at least in this film version, it might have been drained antiseptic by the newly placed Code.

    However Robinson is outstanding and his fans should The Man With Two Faces.

    • Trivia
      When Edward G. Robinson says, "Revenons a nos moutons," he is using a French catch-phrase that literally means "Let's get back to the sheep" and is used to mean "Let's get back to the point at hand." The phrase comes from the French play "La Farce de Maitre Pathelin," in which a legal case about sheep keeps getting sidetracked in comical ways, and the judge has to keep saying it.
    • Errores
      Damon says he played Rastignac in a performance of the play La Fille du Regiment. This is an opera, and there is no character of that name in it. Rastignac is a character in the novels of Balzac.
