The Man Who Haunted Himself
I was devastated to see the Breaking News about the death of the James Bond 007 star and national treasure Sir Roger Moore, at the age of 89, after a short battle with cancer, even more so because I had met him at a book signing, and seen him onstage, so the day of his death I paid tribute and watched this film. Basically Harold Pelham (Sir Roger Moore) is an uptight city worker, one day whilst driving his Rover P5B he suddenly becomes possessed, driving at high speed until he crashes. Pelham is taken immediately to hospital whilst on the operating table he briefly suffers clinical death, after he is brought back to life there appear to be two heartbeats on the monitor, then this disappears. When Pelham awakes, he finds his life has been turned upside down, including changes in his job as director of a marine technology company, where he learns he is supporting a merger that he once opposed, and he is apparently having an affair. As time goes by, Pelham’s friends, colleagues and acquaintances claim to have seen him in places where he has never been, and certainly has no memory of doing so. Pelham finds he is also being followed by a mysterious silver Lamborghini Islero, slowly he suspects someone is pretending to be him, but then he calls home, and is shocked to hear a voice identical to his. Pelham returns home, looking in bad shape, and he is shocked to find himself, a doppelganger, his family assume that the Pelham just entered is a stranger pretending to be him. In the end, both Pelhams get into a high speed car chase, until finally the ruined Pelham crashes and goes off the bridge into the river, the refined Pelham looks down at the wreckage, and appears to have a moment where the second personality leaves his body, then he walks away. Also starring Hildegard Neil as Eve Pelham, Alastair Mackenzie as Michael Pelham, Hugh Mackenzie as James Pelham, Kevork Malikyan as Luigi, Thorley Walters as Frank Bellamy, Anton Rodgers as Tony Alexander, Olga Georges-Picot as Julie Anderson, Freddie Jones as Dr. Harris – Psychiatrist, John Welsh as Sir Charles Freeman, Edward Chapman as Barton, Laurence Hardy as Mason, Charles Lloyd Pack (Roger’s father) as Jameson and Gerald Sim as Morrison. Moore gives one of his most serious performances, as the respectable businessman, with a moustache, slowly descending into madness from either mistaken identity, split personality or a second incarnation, the eerie atmosphere just about sticks throughout the film, you question what is real and what is not sometimes, there are the slow moments, but overall it is an interesting enough psychological thriller.
