LUCY GOES UNDERCOVER
Four years before Lucille Ball became TV's Lucy, she played opposite suave George Sanders in this decent thriller. At 36, Ball was still fresh looking enough to play an American showgirl working in London who agrees to go undercover in order to attract the attention of a serial killer. Predictably enough, she falls for the chief suspect (Sanders, of course). While most viewers won't have any trouble detecting the real culprit long before the end; and while Sirk is unable to develop any real tension (he wasn't Hitch, after all), there are still several good reasons to take a look at this effort. Chief among them, of course, is the chance to see Lucy in a rare non-comedic role. Of the supporting cast, Boris Karloff as a totally daft artist has by far the best part. A little unintentional irony here, n'est pas? Karloff, funny, Ball serious! A must-see for Lucy lovers.
