English Sometimes such beautiful pearls come out of a person, without anyone expecting it, mainly because almost no one knows about these pearls and almost no one has seen them. The movie "Beware, My Lovely" is definitely one of them. A noir film about a madman who infiltrates a lady's house pretending to be her assistant. The film gradually builds up tension and you have no idea how it will end. ()
