- In this edition of #FILMTALK we're joined by Mark Prest as we take a close look at what we think is Roger Moore's best acting performance on film, The Man Who Haunted Himself (1970).
Having only recently complete The Saint television series, Roger was keen to find new roles that would help him move on from Simon Templar and showcase the breadth and depth of his talent. The Man Who Haunted Himself was one of those roles, released in 1970, the film was directed by legendary film director, Basil Dearden.

One of my most favourite films, brilliant music & period piece.
I've long regarded this as Roger's finest performance.
Great film love the rover
Thanks for this. Excellent film. I don't think I've seen it since it was on TV during the '70s. 'But I'm Pelham' became a catchphrase of ours for a while when we were kids.
This film is taken from Alfred Hitchcock presents made in 1959, the episode is called The case of Mr Pelham starring Tom Ewell.
At the end it's the old Pelham who comes back...look at the expression on Roger Moore's face after his heart begins beating regularly again.
Great film. One of my favourite RM performances.
Would be great if Netflix made a remake, Leonardo De Caprio would be perfect😎👌
Second best. The best was in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
Nice score by Michael J. Lewis.
That's somewhat more than just a snooker hall. That is a part of the Reform Club in Pall Mall, a place with which I was fortunate enough to be familiar some 10 to 15 years ago. A famous and highly regarded institution in the mould of the Gentleman's Club, in the traditional (pre Hugh Heffner) sense, and originally a prime meeting place for the Whig party and its backers, associates & acolytes.
Love the movie as a beautifully watchable piece of cinema in its own right, as well as an example of Roger Moore's acting abilities, putting to bed any doubts about whether or not the man was just a suave looker with an obliging eyebrow and ability with one-liners, or a real actor.
A very thought provoking film. On many levels. I think it could quite easily have fallen into an obvious Jekyll and Hyde cliche but avoided it with great subtlety. In some respects the film charts the demise of the old jaded Pelham with the rise of the dynamic full of life new Pelham. It manages for the most part to avoid a lot of the obvious good v bad clichés and actually (quite even handedly) shows the new Pelham in a positive light. I liked the scenes with the new Pelham and how positively he is received by those around him. The old Pelham is shown at different times as impotent, morose, repressed etc etc. The breakdown scenes are superbly acted by Moore. Almost unrecognisable in his anguish. Also enjoyed the Freddie Jones Psychiatrist role. Played as a kind of nod to the maverick but in vogue at the time Scottish R D Laing. It brought a comedic eccentric element to the story. The cinematography of the Pelham consultation with the spinning chair is particularly noteworthy. Altogether a fascinating film. Well worth several viewings.
This movie was underrated by the Cinema Public , because as Roger has stated in interview's, it was poorly marketed and Distributed by the Production Company.
Great film, Roger was brilliant in this. Love the Lamboughini Islero as well.
Prefer the Rover 3 litre Coupe
At this time Cloning is not yet known.
Can anyone explain why there are two necklaces? One that was sent to the photographer, and another that was sent to Pelham's office?
Roger Moore does a great job playing both a dull business man, and a Mr. Hyde type character.
