A Tribute to The Man Who Haunted Himself – Roger Moore’s Finest Hour
The late, wonderful Roger Moore will always be remembered for Bond, but The Man Who Haunted Himself might just be his best performance...

When Sir Roger Moore sadly passed away earlier this year, accounts of his life and career understandably focused on his seven spectacular outings as James Bond 007. Personally, I rewatched The Spy Who Loved Me for the 75th time, basking once again in his effortless charm and flawlessly tailored leisure suits.
Of his career outside the Bond franchise, many obituaries focused on his early television work in The Saint and The Persuaders! , in which he played similarly suave, elegantly dressed adventurers. But despite his own self-deprecation, Roger Moore’s acting abilities were more varied than one is often led to believe. His career extended far beyond the eyebrow-raising antics of the Bond films, and nowhere is this better illustrated than in The Man Who Haunted Himself , a wonderful psychological thriller from 1970.
This film, one of Moore’s personal favorites, showcases the actor in an entirely different light as Harold Pelham, a dull business executive in the City of London. Following a traumatic car crash on his way home from work, Pelham begins to believe that he is being stalked by his own evil doppelgänger. His suspicions are aroused when friends and colleagues claim to have seen him in two places at once, and they start to recount raucous nights out and extra-marital liaisons of which he has no memory. At first, Pelham assumes the phenomenon to be part of an elaborate practical joke, but he slowly begins to doubt his own sanity as his life crumbles around him.

The Man Who Haunted Himself was adapted from the 1957 novel The Strange Case Of Mr. Pelham by Anthony Armstrong, which had previously formed the basis for an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents . This version was written for the screen and directed by Basil Dearden, a veteran British film-maker of Ealing Studios stock, and was produced on a wafer-thin budget of around £400,000. Upon receiving the screenplay, Moore believed it to be “one of the best scripts I’d ever read”, and duly took a pay cut in exchange for a share of the film’s profits.
The movie plays out much like an episode of The Twilight Zone ; Pelham’s seemingly unremarkable life gradually becomes more sinister and surreal as events proceed, eventually descending into a horrific climax. Indeed, the mise-en-scene maintains a sense of everyday realism as the peculiar story unfolds, which only adds to the growing sense of unease. Neither the audience nor Pelham himself are ever sure whether his doppelgänger is a genuinely physical presence, or merely the invention of a deranged mind, and the whole truth is only revealed during the film’s devastating final moments. It makes for a subtle but chillingly effective lesson in cinematic suspense.
Roger Moore claimed that The Man Who Haunted Himself was “one of the few times I was allowed to act”, which he acknowledged was “a terrible admission from someone who has made a living walking in front of cameras”. Looking back over his body of work, it’s difficult to argue with Moore’s appraisal. For anyone used to the sardonic quips and cocked eyebrows of the Bond films, this performance is a revelation. He palpably captures the escalating mania of an ordinary man driven out of his mind by events he cannot comprehend. In a role which could have succumbed to scenery chewing overstatement, Moore moves convincingly from confusion, to frustration, to anger, and finally, to madness. It invokes a tenderness which grounds an otherwise dreamlike narrative, making Pelham’s plight all the more credible.
Of course, the scenes in which Moore plays the evil twin allow him to stretch his legs into more familiar territory. He employs the same devilish charm and icy wit which characterised Simon Templar, Lord Brett Sinclair, and James Bond, but this time he adopts an altogether more menacing quality – as if providing a peak past the debonair exterior and into a malevolent soul. Put together, the two halves of Harold Pelham are utterly compelling, and provide a testament to Moore’s impressive range.
Despite Moore’s personal belief in the project, The Man Who Haunted Himself did not perform well financially, a fact which the actor blamed on an “amateurish” publicity campaign. Nevertheless, it has attained something of a cult status as years have passed, not least thanks to Sir Roger devotedly promoting the film on Twitter whenever it appeared on UK television. Peter Bradshaw of the Guardian , for example, has championed the title as Moore’s best film, and it has certainly aged better than most of his non-Bond filmography.
Much like Harold Pelham and his evil doppelgänger, Roger Moore was never able to shake his enduring identity with the role of James Bond, although this was a fact he came to embrace with characteristic self-awareness. Nevertheless, he continued to advocate The Man Who Haunted Himself as a demonstration of his talents, and a damn good thriller in its own right.
When I was privileged to see Roger Moore during his 2015 live tour, one of the few film clips he screened in its entirety was a scene from this film. His affection was instantly obvious as introduced the sequence with an enthusiastic preamble, like a child showing off their favourite painting. A few minutes later, once the extract had ended and the audience broke into applause, I noticed a delighted smile break across the actor’s face. There was no follow-up joke or sarcastic comment, as was Roger’s custom; this was merely an actor expressing pride in his work, and with good reason. The Man Who Haunted Himself is a terrific, chilling experience which holds up almost fifty years since its debut, with a career-best performance from one of the screen’s most charismatic presences. Sir Roger Moore may have left us, and the world is poorer for it, but there’s always more to discover about the great man and his legacy.

Review by Helen_S ★★★★★ 1
This type of story has been done lots of times but there's just something in the way it is done here that is just wow. It has a fantastic slow build that pulls you into the awful confusion of the main character's head. Roger Moore is simply divine here. Never seen him better. The music is gorgeous and heartbreaking at times. And the ending is edge of your seat stuff!
Review by Dr. Ethan Lyon ★★★★ 12
3rd Basil Dearden (after Sapphire and My Learned Friend)
A lot of people really don't care about cars. To them, it's just another white good to be used until it wears out. There is no style, no panache, only the desperate desire for it not to break down so that you have to pay money to get it fixed. They are reflections of what they want the world to think of them, and often that's not much of anything. But sometimes, you find yourself dreaming about a different sort of car. A fast, suave car.
At the start of the film, Harold Pelham drives a Rover P5B*. Powered by a 3.5 litre V8, this was the car of choice for…
Review by Krommedijk ★★★★
Three years before he made Live and Let Die, his first 007 film, Roger Moore played a career-defining performance in The Man Who Haunted Himself. I know that Moore, every inch a gentleman, was en is looked down upon as an actor, but it needs one view of this film to think otherwise. I enjoy Roger Moore's films as wel as his books, especially The 007 Diaries: Filming Live and Let Die, Last Man Standing: Tales from Tinseltown and À bientôt. His film often - including his 007 films - have a certain kinds of lightness which I like to define as entertainment with a wink. As many actors and directors said: comedy is the hardest thing to do. Moore…

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
Review by Mark Cunliffe 🇵🇸 ★★★½ 5
To bide his time between the conclusion of ITC series The Saint in 1969 and the start of ITC series The Persuaders! in 197, Roger Moore completed two films that carried much of the ITC ethos; brisk and professional affairs that provided sheer unadulterated entertainment with the emphasis on action and suspense.
The first film Crossplot was released in 1969 to largely middling/negative reviews. A straightforward light thriller, many critics saw it as an all too obvious attempt to emulate Moore's TV persona of The Saint on the big screen where James Bond (a role Moore had still yet to take) ruled supreme. Undeterred, Moore teamed up with director Basil Dearden a year later for another film based on Anthony…
Review by Christian Ryan ★★★★½
"Espionage isn't all James Bond on Her Majesty's Secret Service."
Three years before stepping into the role of Bond, Roger Moore stars in a film that could have very well been called You Only Live Twice . After the longest spin-out in cinema history, Harold Pelham smashes his car into a pole and in the process shakes loose his own little Tyler Durden. The rest of the film is more-or-less spent unravelling the mystery of the doppelgänger and bloody hell is it a cracking good time! Moore turns in a career-best performance (a claim he echoed himself), expertly balancing debonair chic with white-knuckled paranoia, and Freddie Jones is hilariously over-the-top as an eccentric psychoanalyst, feeling a bit like he wondered off…
Review by Jim Morrow ★★★½ 2
You only live twice? Sorry, wrong Bond. I had to sort of rearrange myself a bit to begin taking this seriously. That's no fault of the movie, but initially, I couldn't get Graham Chapman out of my head every time I looked at Roger Moore's Harold Pelham. I kept waiting for him to stop and say "Alright then, this is much too silly..."
So, anyway, doppelgänger. This was Basil Deardon's final picture, and it's one of Roger Moore's best. Moore completely abandons his usual clever and quippy persona here, and it definitely allows him to create a rather dull and methodical character that still elicits our sympathies. Harold is a stiff upper lip type, in the upper echelon of a…
Review by Demdike ★★★½
Basil Dearden's wonderful mystery thriller sees Roger Moore acted off screen...
...By Roger Moore.
It's got that late sixties, early seventies vibe that ran through other films of the time such as The Satanic Rites of Dracula, in that you aren't really sure how things will pan out amid the eerie atmosphere.
The mistaken identity theme runs throughout the film as the caddish delight to watch that is Moore's alter ego (released from the respectable, dreary Moore during a car accident) runs rampant ruining the life of the real Moore, or should i say Harold Pelham.
Extremely watchable and a lot of fun.
Review by Headhunter666 ★★★★ 5
Na, wer hatte schonmal das Gefühl irgendwo einen Doppelgänger zu haben? Ich bisher noch nicht und das bleibt auch hoffentlich so, denn da kann ziemlich abgefahrener Schabernack bei rauskommen.
Roger Moore spielt in diesem überraschend famosen und clever konstruierten Film einen spießigen, korrekten und braven Top-Manager. Nach einem Autounfall, den er nur knapp überlebte, kommt es allerdings zu seltsamen Vorkommnissen: Sein Wesen und seine Persönlichkeit scheinen sich zu verändern. Er trifft Entscheidungen an die er sich nicht mehr erinneren kann und wird an Orten gesehen an denen er doch eigentlich gar nicht war. Was ist nur passiert und was soll das alles? Wird er paranoid, oder einfach nur alt? Ist hier vielleicht sogar ein Komplott komplett?
Dieser Film bezieht seine…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
“Espionage isn't all James Bond on Her Majesty's Secret Service. Industry goes in for it too, you know.”
The Man Who Haunted Himself is a 1970 British psychological thriller film written and directed by Basil Dearden which follows a man who becomes convinced he has a doppelgänger.
Starring Bond #3 in a role predating his turn as the spy, Roger Moore is the highlight of this mind bending twist on the Jekyll and Hyde tale.
Whilst I’m always one to defend Moore, his tenure as Bond is oft met with criticism of his performance due to the slew of campier films by the end of his run, but here, he blows those criticisms out of the water as he delivers…
Review by Matthew Noble ★★★★½ 3
"Hm. You're funny. You're never the same man twice."
I have good reason to re-watch this, as I actually spent an afternoon yesterday in the presence of Sir Roger Moore - he's currently in the middle of his UK speaking tour. It was a fantastic 2+ hours-worth of good laughs, heartfelt moments, and incredible anecdotes. But one thing struck me in particular: the segment where Sir Roger (along with moderator Gareth Owen) briefly discussed The Man Who Haunted Himself , and even played a clip from it. Sir Roger noted that the film represented the only time where he felt he got a chance to truly act.
Having just sat through it again, I can attest to it being arguably the…
Review by mrbalihai ★★★½
Roger Moore's luxurious, pointy-ended moustachio and Lamborghini Islero almost stole the show here, but fortunately this quirky little pop-psych mystery/thriller had a few more tricks up its sleeve as it recounted the decidedly Twilight-Zonish tale of an uptight, impotent businessman shadowed by his swingin' doppelganger, who seems to be hell-bent on destroying his work and home life.
The twisty plot leaves you guessing throughout: is it a tale of industrial espionage, a cautionary fable of an anal-retentive, middle-aged man cracking up after losing it on the drive home one night, crashing into a concrete barrier, and briefly dying on the operating table, or did the constantly blaring supermarket jazz soundtrack impel him to unleash his inner Austin Powers? Only his…
