Mrs. Winterbourne (1996)

I can't stand Rikki Lake and avoid her presence in film

It was a remake of a terrific French suspense film called (in English) I Married A Shadow. Watch that instead.

This one of those movies that on cable constantly back in the 90s.

I liked it.

No, it's a POS made by a shit director.

It was a remake of No Man of Her Own (1950).

R5 Richard Benjamin made a ton of shit films: His other films as a director include City Heat (1984), The Money Pit (1986), My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988), Mermaids (1990), Made in America (1993), Milk Money (1994), and Marci X (2003).

“He’ll bawl his head off if he doesn’t have my tits on hand!”

Who wrote this shit?

Marci X is a guilty pleasure for me.

R9 Marci X is one of the most ridiculous movies ever made. It’s amazing it was greenlit. It would never be made now days.

Richard Benjamin is reportedly a nice man, but the films he directs are almost all terrible.

Mrs. Winterbourne is bad, but not unwatchable, yet it’s nothing compared to the original, more noir-ish melodrama No Man of Her Own starring Stanwyck, which was based on the novel I Married a Dead Man by homosexual drunkard genius Cornell Woolrich (as William Irish).

If you like detective and crime fiction with a noir feel, Cornell Woolrich is a good bet for you.

This Richard Benjamin, he has been around forever and married to Paula Prentiss forever

Every time I see Paula Prentiss I can't help but think about her little sister and lookalike Ann:

(Ann) Prentiss was convicted in a California court of a 1996 assault against her father, and a subsequent threat against members of her family. The district attorney claimed that Prentiss, while incarcerated on the assault charge, had attempted to hire another inmate to kill three people, including her father and actor-director Richard Benjamin, her brother-in-law. On July 23, 1997, the court sentenced her to 19 years in prison. (from Wikipedia)

R13 Ann died in prison on January 12, 2010.

This is wild r13

Geena Davis resembled Paula Prentiss in face and figure

4EVER IN OUR ❤️ ♥️ 💜

Ah Richard Benjamin in He & She. He replaced Robin in my childhood fantasies.

Paula is a staunch Republican.

Richard Benjamine did direct Mermaids which I did enjoy. I'm not sure if he was the director of the film when Cher got Emily Lloyd fired and Winona hired or it was an earlier director.

I remember when it was released Mrs. Winterbourne being called "the poor man's While You Were Sleeping," which had a similar premise and had been a smash hit for Sandra Bullock the previous year and was well-received by critics, too.

Source, r19?

No man...

Stanwyck was great in that film.

Paula Prentiss has the most delicious voice.

I love Paula Prentiss and couldn’t believe she ended up with that dorky looking Richard Benjamin

Based on NO MAN OF HER OWN with Barbara Stanwyck and John Lund. Which was based on a novel by Cornell Woolrich. This version was terrible.

I wanted to love this movie so badly, that my 30-something self wondered what I wasn’t understanding while watching it. The fault had to be mine, because these interesting, talented people couldn’t have made a film as bad as I thought it was. I no longer feel that way about this POS movie. Potential squandered. Reputations ruined. Lake’s acting career ended. Women stopped wearing hats. Now is the Mrs. Winterbourne of our discontent.

I prefer Mrs. Featherbottom.

It was cute and Ricki hadn't become obnoxious yet.

Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin were living together in 1960-61 and were pressured to get married by MGM. so that Paula could go on a press tour for Where The Boys Are without any gossip. She had to make long-distance calls to gossip columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons just before the ceremony. He still looks and sounds about the same, at 85.

The most famous movie he directed was My Favorite Year.

Paula's real name was Paula Ragusa (Sicilian descent), they went to Northwestern together. Been married over 60 years.

Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin got married in 1961.
