Cast

Production

Lies of the Twins, which first aired on the USA Network, is based on the novel Lives of the Twins by Joyce Carol Oates, writing under the pen-name Rosamond Smith. In an interview, Oates indicated that the filmmakers "changed the plot quite a bit. I didn't watch it."

Much of the film was shot at Richard Harrison's beachfront home in Malibu. It was one of the first productions that supermodel Iman worked on during her maiden year in Hollywood.

Lies of the Twins was produced by Tim Zinnemann for MCA Television Entertainment (MTE). Mel Frohman and Walter Klenhard prepared the teleplay, with Howard Smith serving as editor. David McHugh provided the film score and Peter Paul Raubertas supplied the production design. Declan Quinn, brother of male lead Aidan Quinn, was in charge of cinematography. It is known as Bugie allo specchio in Italy.

Home Video
