Here's a scene from a really campy, overblown movie called "Dead Ringer," in which Karl Malden plays a police sergeant, and Bette Davis plays his girlfriend, who murders her twin sister and assumes her identity.
Karl is great in this last reel, especially in the last shot (5:25). You might recognize L.A.'s Greystone mansion. Love the floor. Listen for the hyperbaked Andre Previn score. This film was directed by Bette's old friend Paul Henreid, who memorably lit two cigarettes at once as her co-star in "Now Voyager." Malden died Wednesday at age 97.
