Hoffmann, Poe, de Maupassant, Dostoevsky and others, and has been the basis for many classic mystery, horror and science fiction movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This critical survey examines the double in more than 100 films by such acclaimed directors as Alfred Hitchcock, Mario Bava, Roger Corman, David Cronenberg, George Romero, Fritz Lang, James Cameron, Robert Siodmak, Don Siegel, John Frankenheimer, Terry Gilliam, Brian De Palma and Roman Polanski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Meehan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476665664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476665665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Paul Meehan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485288640767,"sku":"9781476665665","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a4ce758-0038-4427-be3b-a53881bda451.jpg?v=1778049011","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ghost-of-ones-self-paul-meehan-9781476665665","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
