The Man Between is a silent film directed by Finis Fox, produced by Finis Fox Corporation and distributed by Pathe Exchange, Inc., released in July 1923. The dramatic film stars Allan Forrest, Edna Murphy, Fred Malatesta, Vola Vale, and Kitty Bradbury and tells the story of an unfaithful man killing his mistress’ husband and meeting his physical double. The double then falls in love with his wife while the adulterer dies in prison. This may be a lost film, meaning that no theatrical release copy of the film has survived.
