     The Other
1972  PG  DRAMA  1h 48min
CAST— Uta Haggen, Diana Muldaur, Chris Udvarnoky, Martin Udvarnoky, Norma Connolly, Victor French, Portia Nelson, John Ritter
MUSIC— Jerry Goldsmith  DIRECTOR— Robert Mulligan  BASED ON— The Other (novel), by Tom Tryon

     Intriguing suspense tale in the vein of The Bad Seed (1956), offering more atmospheric drama as opposed to horrific chills. To make it short and sweet (lest the biggest shocker be revealed), Chris and Martin Udvarnoky play identical twins, both of whom love to play in the summer sun on their family’s sprawling farm. Twin #1 enjoys love and life; #2 is fond of tricks and murder. To tell more would be a disservice. Sort of takes a while to generate steam but once it does it’s full speed ahead.
OUR RATING— ** ½
