The Man Who Haunted Himself is a 1970 British psychological thriller film directed by Basil Dearden and starring Roger Moore. It was based on the novel The Strange Case of Mr Pelham by Anthony Armstrong. Despite lukewarm reviews at the time The Man Who Haunted Himself is now considered a very under-rated film and the role is considered one of Moore's finest performances among his fans. Moore's dark portrayal in the film proved that there was much more to Moore than the light-hearted roles he is famous for playing. Whilst driving his Rover P5B, uptight City worker Harold Pelham appears to become possessed and he has a serious accident at high speed. On the operating table, he briefly suffers clinical death, after which there appear to be two heartbeats on the monitor. When he awakes, Pelham finds his life has been turned upside-down: in his job as a director of a marine technology company he learns that he now supports a merger that he once opposed, and that he apparently is having an affair. Friends, colleagues and acquaintances claim to have seen him in places where he has never been. Does Pelham have a doppelgänger - or is he actually going insane? The film was released on DVD LESS
