The Scapegoat

Alec Guinness and Bette Davis star in the taut mystery The Scapegoat. In a dual role, Guinness plays both schoolteacher John Barratt and wealthy Count Jacques de Gue, who meet while John is on vacation in France and realize they look strikingly similar. Disillusioned and bored with his life as a wealthy man, The Count begs John to trade places with him. But when John arrives at the Count's mansion, he meets both the Count's mother, who believes her son is stealing from her, and the Count's wife, who believes he is trying to murder her. Now John has inherited all the problems of the debauched Count -- and cannot convince anyone he is really a simple schoolteacher.
