Dead Ringer

Generally boring and preposterous film about twin sisters (both played by Bette Davis), one rich, and another not-so-well-off. The rich twin's husband died and she isn't distraught about it at all; in fact, she's rather happy about the ordeal. The not-so-well-off twin doesn't like it, so she decides to kill her, switch clothes and basically live the rest of her sister's life for her. Can she keep this up? There are some decent aspects to this film, such as the acting and the success of having two Bette Davises on the screen at once. Unfortunately, the directing is not very good and neither is the plot.
