The man who haunted himself 1970 trailer
Plot

Whilst driving his Rover P5B, uptight City worker Harold Pelham appears to become possessed and has a serious high-speed accident. On the operating table, he briefly suffers clinical death, after which there appear to be two heartbeats on the monitor. When he awakes, Pelham finds his life has been turned upside-down; in his job as a director of a marine technology company he learns that he now supports a merger that he once opposed, and that he apparently is having an affair. Friends, colleagues and acquaintances claim to have seen him in places where he has never been, and Pelham starts being followed by a mysterious silver car (a Lamborghini Islero). Does Pelham have a doppelgänger or is he actually going insane?
Production

The film was one of the first greenlit by Bryan Forbes while he was head of EMI Films.
Release

According to Roger Moore's autobiography, My Name Is Moore, this film was part of a series of small budgeted films featuring star actors working for substantially less than their usual fees. Moore says that the film should have been successful, but amateurish marketing made this impossible.

Box office results were disappointing.
Though initial reviews were negative, the film is considered by many as one of Roger Moore's best non-Bond films. It has also had many recent positive reviews on internet sites, said the film was an under-rated classic.
Roger Moore has stated that this is his favourite film from his own work.
