Twins Who Swapped Roles Charged With Fraud

Posted by samzenpus on from the wasn't-this-a-movie dept.

An Italian woman who worked as a part-time judge and lawyer had her identical twin pretend to be her in court when she had two simultaneous cases. The non-lawyer twin acted as a defense attorney and charged clients when her sister was called in to act as judge in another case. The twins are now being sued by former clients, and prosecutors have charged them with fraud. Since one of them is a lawyer, it should be easy to figure out which one is the evil twin.

      No, you're thinking of "Some Kind of Wonderful," with Mary Stuart Masterson at her moody-punk-tomboy cutest. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094006/)

      It's just "The Omen." The 1976 version is scarier than the remake, and since it's made after I was born I can assert with confidence that my own birth is not pictured therein. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075005/)
