Beware, My Lovely [1952] [DVD]Ida Lupino (actor) Robert Ryan (actor) Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 77 min Quality: Digital
In this tense drama, vulnerable widow Ida Lupino hires craggy handyman Robert Ryan to help her prepare for Christmas, only to discover that he's a psychopath.
Director Harry Horner creates such a claustrophobic atmosphere of pervasive nastiness that this film (produced by Lupino's second husband, Collier Young) was rightly given an X certificate for its cinema release in Britain. Much disliked by the critics of the day, this is tough stuff indeed.
Drama starring Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan. A lonely widow hires a handyman to help her with Christmas preparations, unaware that he is in fact a dangerous psychopath on the run. |
