Classic Film: A Double Life (1947, 103 minutes)

A beloved stage star, Anthony John (Ronald Colman), has problems with his private life due to his unpredictable outbursts of temper. This trait has already cost him his wife, Brita, and threatens to sabotage his career. Nonetheless, Anthony makes his peace with Brita and the two actors star in a new Broadway staging of Othello. The play is a hit, but the pressures of portraying a man moved to murder by jealousy takes its toll on Anthony. Ronald Colman won an Academy Award for his portrayal of the off-the-beam actor.
