Casa De Areia (House Of Sand) / Andrucha Waddington (2005). Fernanda Montenegro and her real-life daughter, Fernanda Torres, play three generations of mothers and daughters, thusly: Gen 1: Montenegro is mother and Torres is daughter. Gen 2: Montenegro is Gen 1 daughter grown old and Torres is Gen 2 daughter. Gen 3: Montenegro is Gen 2 daughter grown old and Torres is Gen 3 daughter. Like The Corsican Brothers, keep it before 1967.

Outside of QM Isapop's 1967 cutoff year, I know. But mentioning Jeremy Black as all the little Hitler clones in THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL (1978). Yeah, from the 70s on it's an almost endless list. That's why I'm hunting for the older films where it's more of a novelty.

Stanley Ridges, one of the most capable, reliable and versatile character players of the '30s - '40s, stole Black Friday from no less than Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in 1940. As mild-mannered and absent-minded college professor George Kingsley:  As brutal mobster Red Cannon:  And before anyone reminds me that Kingsley and Cannon are actually the same person, changing personalities courtesy of Karloff's having transplanted brain tissue from the mobster to the professor, I'll remind them that Ridges has a brief scene in the back of an ambulance as the real Cannon before his death. |

OK, a deft save. (Otherwise, it would have been booted!)

David Butler played a Union soldier and a Confederate one in Birth of a Nation. I guess Griffith did this to make a point.

Bud Abbott played two roles in The Time of Their Lives.
Jerry Lewis played 7 brothers in The Family Jewels.
Elsa Lanchester played Mary Shelley and the bride-to-be of the monster in Bride of Frankenstein (interesting premise there).
Norma Shearer played a family member of two different generations in Smilin' Through.
Don Ameche played two roles in That Night in Rio.
Several dual roles in Kansas and Oz in The Wizard of Oz, but Henry Morgan had several roles in the Emerald City itself.
Hayley Mills as twin sisters in The Parent Trap.
Buster Keaton in The Playhouse--Keaton plays pretty much everybody, including an entire theater audience (it's a short, but it's got more entertainment value than a lot of feature-length movies).
