Noirs seem to be getting better the more I see. Excellent. This latest stars Lucille Ball as a gutsy woman out to track down a mysterious man who is murdering young and beautiful girls after meeting them in the personal add columns. One of the girls happens to be her friend and room-mate, so she makes a deal with the police that she will answer and meet every single man advertising in the newspaper. The killer also has a penchant for quoting Baudelaire in the letters that he sends to the police after each disappearance, and usually these notes offer some sort of clue as to the nature of the next murder. George Sanders is his usual caddish and wonderful self. Just seeing him in a film brings a whole new meaning to the word 'class.'
