Narrative:
Cleared to intercept localizer for runway 1L. Another carrier B737 traffic pointed out at 12 O'clock position and 5 mi base to final. Traffic and field in sight; cleared visual approach to runway 1R; other carrier cleared to runway 1L. On approximately a 6 mi final; we received a TCAS RA and then visually picked up another carrier aircraft at 2 O'clock high position crossing right to left. I complied with the RA. I turned west; descended slightly and leveled off. I then turned back east and intercepted a visual final for runway 1R. Landing was uneventful. Aircraft pointed out by approach and tower was not the aircraft we had in sight.
