The Man Who Lived Twice is a 1936 American crime film directed by Harry Lachman and starring Ralph Bellamy, Marian Marsh and Thurston Hall.

[1] “Slick” Rawley is a professional criminal and murderer with a scarred and disfigured face; he has a good friend, ex-boxer “Gloves” Baker, and a tough girlfriend, Peggy Russell.

Dr. Schuyler’s operation has the unexpected effect of causing Slick to permanently lose all memory of his identity, friends and criminal life.

With the pressure on his brain relieved, he is attracted toward the good and helpful life of a doctor, and Dr. Schuyler mentors him as he trains and becomes Dr. James Blake.

This sacrifice is in vain, because despite the judge’s argument that Slick died ten years ago and Blake is innocent, the jury convicts.
