The train wrecks and she wakes up in the hospital to find out that it's been assumed that she's Patricia. Hugh's mother takes her in and she falls in love with Hugh's brother Bill. Just when she thinks everything is going her way, her ex-boyfriend shows up.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Brendan Fraser plays twins Hugh and Bill, though Hugh dies in the opening act—he filmed all scenes in one week.
This is a remake of 1951's 'No Man of Her Own' starring Barbara Stanwyck, proving Hollywood has recycled this exact bonkers premise for decades.
