The Eagle Has Landed (1976)

Probably not the best choice of movie for Christmas Day, but there it is. 

A stacked cast of beloved British, Canadian, and American actors play German military and Nazis at the end of WW II. I guess making a movie about WW II thirty years after the end of the war seemed okay at the time. Watching it today felt pretty raw. It was very long and intense. Had to watch it in two segments with a walk in between for a breather.

The Dark Mirror (1946)

Olivia de Havilland captivates in this bw flick, her only foray into the noir genre. She plays twins, one a lover, the other a killer.

The murder happens at the beginning and the rest of the movie presents an extended character study and a master course in gaslighting. I get super-uncomfortable during intense gaslighting scenes, so I have to admit I fast forwarded one scene. The obsessed detective and the unethical psychologist try to figure out which twin dunnit. Overall I'll give this movie a thumbs up rating, despite the egregious use of myth and fallacy instead of science for almost every "factoid" mentioned about twins.
