Product Description
Jeremy Dilke (Horton), is a meek, mild-mannered businessman who allows everyone to use him for a doormat. While looking into his mirror, Dilke is confronted by his brusque, assertive alter ego, who declares "I am the man you have always longed to be." Armed with his newfound confidence, Dilke becomes a go-getting dynamo, much to the delight of heroine Helen (Genevieve Tobin), who knew he had it in him all along. Moon-faced Alastair Sim plays a wonderful cameo as a foreign interpreter.

I confess to having a vested interested in this black and white film released in 1936 and directed by Maurice Elvey. Elvey was a prolific director/producer having made over 300 films during his long career. My vested interest is the fact that he was my uncle and godfather. Many of his films were'b' movies or quota quickies, and ranged from good to bad to indifferent. The Man in the Mirror tells the story of a businessman who wouldn't say boo to a goose being confronted by his self confident and assertive other self when he looks into the mirror. Amongst the cast is Alastair Sim playing a cameo role. If you like old films (especially those which have been digitally remastered) then try The Man in the Mirror for size. Renown Pictures Ltd. are doing a grand job bringing long forgotten films to the notice of a younger public.

This 1936 movie sees Edward Everett Horton playing the part of Jeremy Dilkes, a meek and mild businessman who allows everyone to walk all over him.
That is until he looks in his mirror one day and comes face-to-face with his more confident and assertive alter-ego. Now ready to face the world with his new found confidence, Dilkes sets about doing the things he secretly always wanted to.
Horton performs well in his dual-role here, as the dithering Dilkes and his more confident alto-ego.
This charming fantasy could possibly appeal to those who enjoy gentle vintage movies. I found it to be a pleasant way to pass 78 minutes, the movie also stars Felix Aylmer as the Earl of Wigan, also appearing is Alastair Sim in a cameo role, (should have been much longer) as a foreign interpreter.
This Renown release has been restored and remastered, picture quality is good. No subtitles or extras.
The included 14-page booklet features "The Old Firm" - a brief history of Butchers films.
