Lured Overview:
Lured (1947) was a Crime - Film Noir Film directed by Douglas Sirk and produced by Hunt Stromberg and Henry S. Kesler.
SYNOPSIS
An early Hollywood outing for Sirk and an interesting non-comedy role for Ball. The mystery begins with a young taxi dancer in London (Ball) whose friend is murdered by a madman who leaves notes for the police written in poetry. After turning up false leads (including an appearance by Karloff), Ball agrees to act as a lure for the police and answers a newspaper ad taken out by the murderer. Her boyfriend, Sanders, is a nightclub owner who has a partner, Hardwicke, who begins to behave rather oddly. A tight, no-nonsense thriller.
