Described by star Roger Moore as the best role he ever played, The Man Who Haunted Himself is a vivid, at times psychedelic adaptation of the 1957 novel 'The Strange Case of Mr Pelham'. Moore plays Pelham, a wealthy London businessman at the peak of his career. After surviving a bizarre car accident that temporarily led to his death, he finds he is being seen around the city at places he hasn't been. Accused of increasingly inexplicable appearances, Pelham's hold on his own life — and his sanity — begins to slip. Directed by Basil Dearden (Victim 1961), The Man Who Haunted Himself is a gripping psychological thriller with a never-better Moore at its centre.
