Helen Gordon (Ida Lupino) hires Howard Wilton (Robert Ryan) as a handyman to do chores around her house. She doesn’t know what she’s let herself in for. Insecure and paranoid, Wilton thinks everyone, including Helen, is against him. He suffers from memory lapses and extreme mood swings. She’s soon a prisoner in her own house after Wilton locks the doors and tears out the telephone. His mood swings from violence to complacency but after Helen gets a message to the police via a telephone repairman, she finds he is still in the house. (Via Vision Entertainment)

Sometimes these beautiful gems pop up unexpectedly, especially because hardly anyone knows about them, and hardly anyone has seen them. Beware, My Lovely is definitely one such gem. It’s a noir film about a madman who lodges with a lady as her assistant. The film gradually builds up and you have no idea how it is going to end.
