RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television, proudly presents... Screen Director's Playhouse, star Miss Olivia de Havilland, production the Dark Mirror, Director Robert Siyatmak. The Hollywood Screen Directors present a reflection on murder, the motion picture drama The Dark Mirror, starring Academy Award winner Miss Olivia de Havilland.

Tonight, Miss de Havilland recreats her original dual role in the film as she plays the twin parts of Ruth and Terry. In a fashionable fifth avenue apartment, Dr. Frank Peralta was murdered, stabbed in the back.

The only evidence of disorder was a shattered mirror. A restaurant suspicion of murder was Miss Terry Collins, Dr. Peralta's fiancé, and her identical twin sister, Ruth. Mr. District Attorney, we've been at this questioning for hours and getting nowhere.

Now, look, identical twins. Which one of you girls was with Dr. Peralta last night? One of us spent the evening at Jefferson Park and the other... Never mind. How about you, Sister? One of us stayed home.

But which one did which is what I'm asking? Which one did which? One of us. That's what I've been hearing for hours. One of us spent the evening at Jefferson Park and one of us stayed home.

Dr. Elliott, you're a psychologist and authority on the subject of identical twins and you're personally acquainted with these girls and all that. I like Lieutenant Stevenson. I knew these girls wanted a time. They were working at the newspaper counter in my office building.

I didn't know they were twins. Dr. Elliott, you knew Dr. Peralta and had conversation with him the day he was murdered. He asked you if you ever came across a case of split personality and whether it was dangerous.
