A man climbs into Ferdinand Sponer's cab, gives the name of a hotel, and
before he reaches it has been murdered: shot through the throat. And
though Sponer has so far committed no crime, he is drawn into the late
Jack Mortimer's life, and might not be able to escape its tangles and
intrigues before it is too late...
Twice filmed, I Was Jack Mortimer is a tale of misappropriated
identity as darkly captivating and twisting as the books of Patricia
Highsmith.
One doesn't step into anyone's life, not even a dead man's, without
having to live it to the end.
