Synopsis
Conservative executive Harold Pelham (a harrowing and atypical performance by Roger Moore) is involved in a car accident and declared momentarily dead. When he's eventually released from the hospital, Pelham discovers that an exact double of him has recently been seen in places that he's never been, taken over his family, undermined his business and even begun an extramarital affair. Is Pelham being stalked by a doppelganger with a taste for the wild life or is he simply a man going insane?

The Man Who Haunted Himself was Roger Moore's last movie before taking over the role of James Bond, as will as the final film by legendary director Basil Dearden (The Mind Benders , Dead of Night). This creepy psychological thriller is now presented in a stunning new transfer from original British vault materials and includes Roger Moore's first-ever audio commentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect double-act, 7 Feb 2007
By Thomas Koetzsch (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Although Roger Moore is mostly known for his James Bond movies, I think you can toss all those. `The Man Who Haunted Himself' is by far Roger Moore's best movie.

The story is fairly simple but it builds up quite nicely. Roger Moore - a conservative businessman with a lovely wife and two perfect children, and who works in the City - on his way home one evening engages in a spot of mad driving and ends up in an accident. Following his recovery he continues his set life yet increasingly finds that he is being pushed out of this life by someone else who happens to be himself. It sounds all very confusing, but that's the story in a nutshell.

I agree with the other reviewers here that this is masterpiece of acting. What I really love about this movie is the double-act Roger Moore plays as the ever more successful businessman and at the same time increasingly haunting himself right into the final showdown when he faces himself down.

Excellent show!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great thriller from 1970!, 5 April 2007
By FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      

Classic suspense thriller from 1970 starring Roger Moore.

No time wasted here in getting straight into the action with a speeding car and spectacular crash! Roger Moore plays a handsome well-to-do married man with two children. After a near fatal car crash, what follows is a string of unexplained 'incidents' that leads to the character's confusion and bewilderment. This could be simple amnesia due to brain damage caused by the accident, but it's far more sinister than that! A thrill every minute and suspense around every corner!

There's a great supporting cast here including; Anthony Nicholls (looking much older having aged dreadfully in the couple of years since 'The Champions' of '68) Charles Lloyd Pack, Anton Rodgers (some viewers not old enough to remember will be knocked down at how extremely fit and handsome he was!) Gerald Sim, and Thorley Walters who supplies the humour in his jovial, but boring character role - remarkably like an earlier Nigel Bruce. Great performances, and added to a wonderful music score provided by the theme, gives this a recipe for great entertainment! Fast-paced and exciting film with no time to get bored!

Look out for Roger Moore making an interesting reference to James Bond!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Moore able to act away from type, 17 Oct 2006
By A C N. MORRISON "Nicholas" (Leeds,England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thoroughly recommend this DVD which has a Commentry made 2001/2 which includes Roger Moore and Bryan Forbes with Journalist Jonathan Sothcott who show a love of their industry.Although momentarily they get mixed up calling John Welsh as Anthony Nicholls their memory is in great shape and Moore can remember the places and what he had to do plus interesting information.The film is in great shape with no evidence of wear or fading.It was made at a time of the bowler hat, chambers you could enter without badges and wooden walled board rooms.The film made on a small budget shows none of the consequences of this and the professionalism of the director Basil Dearden and camerman is ever present.The film has a strong contingent of actors including John Carson, Hildegard Neil,Gerald Sims and Anton Rodgers all happily still with us.However this is Moore's film and it is much to the credit of those who chose him and for his portrayal of a man pushed to the limits between his safe self and his worrying second self.
