Dead Ringer Movie Review 1964

Bette Davis plays twins; Margaret, who's rich and recently widowed, and Edith, who's poor and feels that Margaret won her hubby unfairly (they were rivals for his affection). Edith kills Margaret and takes over her life, only to discover that the grass isn't always greener. Solid thriller showcases Davis in one of the better of her mystery/suspense roles of the 1960s.
