What happens

Mrs. Winterbourne is a 1996 American romantic comedy-drama film starring Shirley MacLaine, Ricki Lake, and Brendan Fraser. It is loosely based on Cornell Woolrich's novel I Married a Dead Man, which had already been filmed in Hollywood as No Man of Her Own (1950) starring Barbara Stanwyck, in Hindi as Kati Patang (1970) starring Asha Parekh, and in French as J'ai épousé une ombre (1983). The film was shot on location in and around Boston, Beverly Farms/Prides Crossing, Massachusetts, Toronto, Ontario including Eaton Hall in King City, Ontario. It was the final production of A&M Films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
