The Man Who Lost Himself is a 1941 film starring Brian Aherne and Kay Francis. Aherne plays a man who encounters his exact double and is later mistaken for the other man (now deceased).

Plot

Department store mogul Malcolm Scott escapes from a mental institution. At a bar, he encounters lookalike John Evans and they get drunk together.

John wakes up in Malcolm's home, where butler Paul and others mistakenly believe him to be Malcolm. As he attempts to persuade them otherwise, the real Malcolm is killed in a subway accident. Malcolm's estranged wife Adrienne has been romantically involved with Peter Ransome, while it appears Malcolm had been seeing a Mrs. Van Avery while also embezzling from his store with a man named Mulhausen who now wants to buy it from Adrienne.

John foils the scheme, and when a grateful Adrienne finally realizes who he really is, she decides she'd like to marry her dead husband's dead ringer.
