The Notorious Landlady (1962)

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? Product Description

For the Collectors

An enjoyable film with great cast, pity it was not in colour. Story line initially appears obvious but then it changes and keeps you guessing. Well worth being in one's collection. November 29, 2008
