Review of Midnight Lace (1960) by Tishka F — 06 Jul 2010

Doris as scream queen! Ultra luxurious equally overwrought melodrama with Doris in one high fashion outfit after another being terrorized by phone. Barely believable but highly entertaining film has good co-stars in Rex Harrison and Myrna Loy, who while for the most part is also dressed very well, is forced to wear one of the ugliest hats every seen in film! It looks like an upside down flower basket was dumped on her head.

Otherwise the settings are incredibly plush and poor Doris, who has rarely looked better onscreen, spends the entire movie in a state of just below the surface hysteria. Silly but a whole lot of fun.
