Editorial Reviews

Infinitely charming, His Double Life sparkles with free flowing performances from Roland Young and Academy Award recipient Lillian Gish. The story is of a brilliant but socially awkward artist who's overcome with the fame that's been thrust upon him. By a great confluence of circumstances, Young's trusted aid dies tragically but his body is mistaken for Young himself. Seizing the moment, Young assumes the identity of his fallen friend! But along with the identity, Young continues a romantic correspondence with a lady (Gish) who has never met him! Sweet, enchanting, and enriching, His Double Life will bewitch viewers with style and grace that sweeps across the screen.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'Buried Alive', January 16, 2012
This review is from: His Double Life (DVD)
SYNERGY Entertainment is a NYC based DVD-R manufacturer. Their "Archive Series" videos offer no commentary, deleted scenes, subtitles or other bonus features. Dubs are "best available source" and can vary from very good to only fair.
.

HIS DOUBLE LIFE is based on the Arnold Bennett play, "Buried Alive." It's the story of Priam Farrel, a reclusive artist who assumes the identity of his deceased valet rather than travel from America to Britain to accept a knightship. When he meets his alias's penpal girlfriend, Farrel falls in love and wants to marry her. That's when the dead valet's family arrives unexpectedly....

This is one of only two talkies Lillian Gish appeared in during the 1930s. When "His Double Life" was remade in 1943 as "Holy Matrimony," this version was taken out of circulation.
.

Lillian Gish also co-starred in D.W. Griffith's 1915 epic THE BIRTH OF A NATION.
.

Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 IMDb viewer poll rating.

(6.5) His Double Life (1933) - Roland Young/Lillian Gish/Montagu Love/Lumsden Hare/Lucy Beaumont
