13 view cover	Dead Ringer (1964) more movies like this directed by Paul Henreid featuring Bette Davis, Karl Malden, Peter Lawford, Philip Carey, Jean Hagen Though he's most famous for his portrayal of Victor Laszlo in 1942's Casablanca, actor Paul Henreid took a few turns behind the camera as evidenced by this 1964 thriller starring Bette Davis as twins Margaret DeLorca and Edith Phillips.
