The Man in the Mirror is a 1936 British comedy film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Edward Everett Horton, Genevieve Tobin and Ursula Jeans.

Alone in the house, he is surprised when his reflection in the mirror steps out and tells him that he is his alter ego, the kind of man he wishes he was.

Kine Weekly said "Psychological in theme, but broadly farcical in interpretation, this comedy of a nit-wit who involuntarily plunges into a Jekvll and Hyde existence and ultimately finds, in the battle between his two personalities, his real self, is as novel as it is laughable.

The grand possibilities presented by the ingenious and piquant plot are firmly grasped by the star, producer and cameraman.

"[2] Monthly Film Bulletin wrote "The idea is original and well worked out, and clever direction, backed up by thoroughly good acting, makes the most of it.

"[3] The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "Lugubrious Edward Everett Horton, American master of the double-take, stars in this low-rent British fantasy as a dithering businessman whose looking-glass alter ego takes over his battles in life.

Interesting more for the social assumptions of its time than for any cinematic adroitness, it was directed by Maurice Elvey, who made more than 300 unmemorable films in his career.
