This is one of Doris Day's rarer dramatic outings, and honestly, it just goes to show why she mostly did comedies. Not that she's at all bad, but she's just a whole lot more radiant when it comes to fluffy romcoms.
Midnight Lace is a thriller about a woman who's being stalked but is unable to prove it and is thus taken for being addled, kinda like Gaslight, a superior movie by virtue of George Cukor's direction and Ingrid Bergman and Angela Lansbury's performances.
The story here is quite predictable and the acting unexceptional, and even though it was great seeing Myrna Loy in one of her last big screen performances, her supporting role isn't half as showy as Lansbury's was.
