Full Plot Details

On a vacation in France from his nondescript job and life, John Barratt encounters a titled but impoverished French nobleman who looks exactly like him. The nobleman gets John drunk, and switches places with him to take a breather from his failing business and too-complicated life. John tries to convince everyone he is not who they think he is, but he begins to get more and more involved with the count's family, including an unhappy wife, domineering mother, lonely but talented young daughter, bitter spinster sister and the expected mistress. As John gets to know them he feels he can help them with their problems, but is also becoming used to his borrowed life, which has given him a purpose for the first time.

Movie Reviews

The Spectator - 9/10 by Isabel QuiglySir Alec's performance seems to be caricaturing the Guinness style: cold, correct, restrained almost to the point of self-extinction, he underacts in a cast of rip- roaring overactors till the contrast between him and them becomes grotesque.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's a one-idea film involving a case of mistaken identity.
User Review - 6/10 by Scott Rpretty good mid-career stuff here from Davis and I think the last film of Davis' that I have scene/reviewed
