Julie (1956)


MGM
Directed by Andrew L. Stone
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Doris Day spends the entire movie running away from her homicidal husband. The characters are so unconvincing that it becomes almost comical at times: her husband sits at the piano and plays dramatic music while Doris provides running narration about her doubts of his sanity. He eventually catches up with her on an airplane where she works as a stewardess. He kills the pilots leaving who else but Doris to bring the plane in for a landing. Blatant attempt to rip off Hitchcock-style dramatics fails in every department other than unintentional laughs.
