Movie Reviews of Lured

Movie Review: Wow great story and acting!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I just got done watching this on Dish Network and lamented that I hadn't recorded this movie. I thought for sure I'd be out of luck but here it is on Amazon. Thank you. Buy this dvd! Lucille Ball is a knockout as well as great acting all around by the other actors. I never knew Ms. Ball could act so well. I became more and more interested as the story advanced. If you like mysteries this is one to watch. I will share this movie with my wife as she will appreciate it. The plot criss-crosses as the explanation to why beautiful young unattached women are disappearing. Just when you think Lucille's character is safe danger arises. WELL DONE LOW BUDGET MOVIE. George Sanders was a darn good actor too. Buy it and Enjoy!!

Summary of Lured

A serial killer terrorizes london trapping his prey through personal ads in the newspapers and taunting the police with gruesome poems. Scotland yard is brought in to solve the case. Studio: Kino International Release Date: 05/23/2000 Starring: Lucille Ball George Sanders Run time: 103 minutes Director: Douglas Sirk
Lucille Ball is in fine pre-TV form--still more the glamorous redhead than the slapstick comedienne--in Lured, Douglas Sirk's elegantly handled low-budget whodunit. Ball plays an American nightclub dancer in London, recruited by the police as a decoy for a serial killer--a maniac who finds his victims through the newspaper personal ads. The guilty party isn't difficult to guess, but the script by Leo Rosten is more literate than most such endeavors, and it's fun to watch our out-of-place heroine brazen it out in the London fog. George Sanders is the most cultivated of her suitors, and there's a weird sequence featuring Boris Karloff as a dress designer with crackpot designs on Lucy. Maybe best of all, the film has a crowd of good character actors: Charles Coburn (as a Scotland Yard inspector who becomes protective of his amateur agent), Cedric Hardwicke, Alan Mowbray, Joseph Calleia, and especially George Zucco, a frequent movie villain in a sympathetic role as an avuncular cop. Sirk brings his Germanic precision to the details, and cameraman William Daniels (Greta Garbo's favorite) no doubt had a hand in making Ball look good. Lured was subsequently re-titled Personal Column, much to Sirk's annoyance. --Robert Horton
