So that is it? He just snaps out of it and walks out of the house. #filmnoirclub

His reflection in the Christmas tree bulb is so frightening 🫣 #filmnoirclub

Now that he does believe her Should he really have left her? #filmnoirclub

Why doesn't he believe her? #filmnoirclub

I think I will go home now #filmnoirclub

🎄 3/4 In 1949, with Collier Young, Lupino founded a production company. They produced films on controversial issues & she directed their 1st project: NOT WANTED (1949) It was about abortion & it was Lupino's directorial debut, though he was uncredited. #FilmNoirClub #FilmNoir #ChristmasNoir 🎄

Something causes Howard to stop. Truly terrific suspence by our leads. #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

🎄 My crystal ball is charged & ready for me to scry my wife & my 2026. BEWARE, MY LOVELY (1952) #FilmNoirClub #FilmNoir #ChristmasNoir 🎄

🎄 1/4 I find this interesting: Collier Young was wed to: Ruth Valerie Edmonds (1938-1948) Ida Lupino (1948-1951)​ Joan Fontaine ​(1952-1961) Meg Marsh (1965-1980) & Ida was married to: Louis Hayward (1938–1945) Collier Young (1948–1951) Howard Duff (1951–1984) #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ 🎄

🎄 2/4 Joan Fontaine tied the knot with: Brian Aherne ​(1939-1945)​ William Dozier ​(1946-1951)​ Collier Young (1952-1961)​ Alfred Wright Jr. ​(1964-1969) Compare Ida, Collier, & Joan in this regard to Robert Ryan, who wed Jessica Cadwalader (1939-1972) & they had 3 children. #FilmNoirClub 🎄

I suppose this used to be somewhat common back then, itinerant workers when the economy tanked. #FilmNoirClub

He is so proud of his work and is kind. It's almost a Dr. Jekyll-type trance that makes him go off the rails. When he snaps out of it, you can see someone who wants love and acceptance. #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

Triggered by Guadeamus Igitur. Seems right. #FilmNoirClub

"I've never known anyone like you." #BewareMyLovely

🎄 Just in case I forgot to post this: “🖤 Film Noir & Noirish period pieces & gothic films 🖤” My Letterboxd List: boxd.it/oklRs I recall this list has 15 links to free noir films & has over 200 films on it. #FilmNoirClub #FilmNoir #ChristmasNoir 🎄

🎄 Re: Gaudeamus Igitur The music box song that I declared is the key to understanding this great Film Noir ... if you don't know the reference, then please look it up later, especially if you appreciate profound poetry. BEWARE, MY LOVELY (1952) #FilmNoirClub #FilmNoir #ChristmasNoir 🎄

Saved by the grocery delivery? Dee Pollack as Doug. He is known for Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Wagon Train, 12 O'Clock High, Johnny Ringo, Outlaw, Tales of Wells Fargo, Perry Mason, The Virginian, Carousel, Kelly's Heroes, and The Fugitive. #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

It looks like First Year Hogwart's Issue #FilmNoirClub

This thing with the coat Disturbing! #filmnoirclub

🤣 #filmnoirclub All I am thinking is he is crazy to a at what she prepares lol

I like how errbody at #FilmNoirClub is as...unenthusiastic abt this tie as I am 😭

All of this and now he asks her what her first name is? #filmnoirclub I cannot. I have no patience for him right now. He is driving me nuts. 😒🤣

Wonderful work by Horner and Lupino (or Lupino). #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

Jimmy almost helped Darn No kid cares about anything when they hear the ice cream man #filmnoirclub

Important tip: don't just hire strange men who come around looking for work #FilmNoirClub

I thought she was going to fall down the stairs The man is a savage #filmnoirclub

You feel Helen's desperation and hope each time there is a glimmer of chance to be found. #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

The children #filmnoirclub

Her breaking the windows is an act of pure desperation #filmnoirclub

The film was shot over an 18-day period in 1951 for Collier Young and Ida Lupino's production company, the Filmakers. RKO Pictures head Howard Hughes withheld the film from release for a year. #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

This movie makes me so claustrophobic and anxious 😬 #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

Bad timing #filmnoirclub Cat is out of the bag now

🎄 I love Helen Gordon's (Ida Lupino) huge Victorian mansion ! BEWARE, MY LOVELY (1952) #FilmNoirClub #FilmNoir #ChristmasNoir 🎄

Love the use of the mirror here and the subtle devices that keep Howard from actually leaving...truly brilliant suspense! #BewareMyLovely
#FilmNoirClub

I will take Mr. Armstrong over this guy ANY day of the week #filmnoirclub
