Midnight Lace (1960)


In London, a newly-wed American woman's sanity comes into question, when she claims to be the victim of a stalker.

Routine thriller a bit in Hitchcock's vein has some good memts, but Doris Day's performance is a wee bit over the top.

Halliwell*: "Thoroughly silly rehash of Gaslight and The Boy Who Cried Wolf; its glamorous accoutrements can't fight a lack of humour or predictable plot development."

Maltin***: "Shrill murder mystery; unbelievable plot line, but star cast and decor smooth over rough spots."
