Movie review - "The Man Who Haunted Himself" (1970) **1/2 (re-watching)

 Curious to watch this again. Thoughts:

*opening car crash well shot, chilling as it's how the director died but... terrible back projection.

*Roger Moore is dressed in silly ways - silly moustache, bowler hats. Needed a better costumer.

*Moore makes a joke about James Bond which is fun (he hadn't been cast yet).

*The editing is akward at times - weird cuts.

*Not well directed/

*Moore is excellent - the story is very good.

* Needs more atmosphere - Hammer horror would do this better (at its peak, anyway).

*Don't like the music. 

*Woman who plays mistress is good, woman who plays wife is stiff.
