    Looking forward to these! Can’t wait to see how Dead Again was written about as that was the film I would have chosen to do. 🙂

      The Dead Again piece was well done, I thought. They didn’t give anything away re: the twist at the end. *thumbs up*

        It was good. I learned a few things I’d never known (even though I’ve seen that movie, um, 20 times…). You movie people and your behind-the-scenes wisdom. 😉 I love it.

      Me too! I didn’t realize, before this blogathon, how many movies had dual roles. Clearly, I have some catching up to do. 🙂

    I’m certainly not the cinephile that most here are and am finding so many films with dual portrayals to be amazing, Ruth. Every genre of film is represented with a large number of actors playing a wide range of roles. A teenage caveman? Unbelievable.

      Yup, even a teenage caveman. There’s enough to please everybody here at the Dual Roles Blogathon. 😉
