Movie Reviews of The Notorious Landlady
Movie Review: The Notroious Landlady
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD opens in England with the possible death of the landlady's husband; all of the neighborhood folks think the American beauty "done it", but what they don't know is far more interesting, especially since there is no corpse.
The new American in town wants to rent a flat, that's all he wants, until he sees the landlady, then things get hot (scorching heat), he nearly burns the house down.
With his position at the embassy at stake, the Yankee plays detective for Scotland Yard in order to help solve the mystery of the missing husband.
Too bad his landlady is such a sexy knockout!
Between Jack Lemon and Kim Novack trying to keep their hands off each other, and Fred Astaire suddenly trying to weasel in, I never stopped laughing.
I won't give away the ending, but keep your eyes peeled for Estelle Winwood's wheelchair.
Summary of The Notorious Landlady
This film has it all -- romance, comedy and mystery. Jack Lemmon turns in his usual sparkling performance as William Gridley, an American diplomat in London who gets mixed up with his beautiful landlady Carlye Hardwicke (Kim Novak). Gridley discovers that she is suspected of mudering her husband, and fears he may be next although in the meantime he has fallen in love with her. Mayhem ensues when Caryle's estranged husband suddenly shows up looking for a fortune in jewels hidden in the Hardwicke house. Then, during an argument, Carlye accidently makes her husband as dead as everyone thought. But a witness, who also has designs on the loot, gets her acquitted. Who will win the fortune?Comedy DVD Video
