The Other Person (Dutch: Onder spiritistischen dwang) is a 1921 Dutch-British[3]silentmystery film directed by Maurits Binger and B.E. Doxat-Pratt. It was a co-production between a Dutch film company and a British film company.[4]
The film was based on a 1920 mystery novel called The Other Person which was written by Fergus Hume, the prolific author of crime fiction, thrillers and mysteries. Lead actress Zoe Palmer went on to star in Sweeney Todd (1928).[5]
Plot
The film is about a spiritualist whose darkest secret is revealed during a seance, a scene that critic Troy Howarth said was strikingly similar to a scene in Dario Argento's 1974 film Deep Red, in which a murderer is unmasked during a seance.[6]
