SYNOPSIS:

Although Roger Moore is mostly known for his James Bond movies, I think you can toss all those. `The Man Who Haunted Himself' is by far Roger Moore's best movie. The story is fairly simple but it builds up quite nicely. Roger Moore - a conservative businessman with a lovely wife and two perfect children, and who works in the City - on his way home one evening engages in a spot of mad driving and ends up in an accident. Following his recovery he continues his set life yet increasingly finds that he is being pushed out of this life by someone else who happens to be himself. It sounds all very confusing, but that's the story in a nutshell.
I agree with the other reviewers here that this is masterpiece of acting. What I really love about this movie is the double-act Roger Moore plays as the ever more successful businessman and at the same time increasingly haunting himself right into the final showdown when he faces himself down! Excellent show
