I think there was a time where I watched this about every 15 days. Ah, love this one so much I modeled the bottom of my wedding dress off the engagement dress Lucy wears. Still mad I never found the Eloise article with the dress in color I passed up on ebay 20 years ago. No, sadly. I have it on VHS -- purchased from the very first time I ever went to the original Lucy-Desi Museum in the dead of winter 1999 -- but I never graduated to the DVD and it is tangled up in some rights issues when it comes to airing in Canada so it never sees the light of day here, even on TCM.

HarryCarter Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Lured was the first DVD I ever owned and the first time I watched it, it stopped playing about 30 minutes in. I returned it for a new copy and that one stopped about 35 minutes in! I ended up getting the VHS, which I've watched many times over the years. The picture of my VHS has always had a purple hue. Anyone else have this or was i given yet another bum copy of the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall mine having a purple hue, but I'm tempted now to hook my VCR back up and find out. lol Regarding the picture quality, the BluRay case notes that the Lured restoration here is a combination of elements from the original 35mm nitrate prints as well as elements from 16mm prints.

HarryCarter Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I’m mad to discover that one of the revival theaters in New York showed Lured for several days last month and I didn’t know about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 TCM's Noir Alley showing of Lured was preceded by a very in-depth and fact filled introduction by Eddie Mueller. Mueller ended his intro with "Who knew Lucille Ball and George Sanders could be so sexy together?" (Zsa Zsa knew.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muller has a timeslot where he introduces film noirs. Ben Mankiewicz is the main host on the network. Other films are introduced by Alicia Malone and Dave Karger, who in my opinion, is the best of all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks for this. Ah yes Mr.Mankiewicz, one of several who tried to "replace" "Siskel & Ebert". I certainly liked him a lot more than that other lump of mud (his name escapes me at the moment) who took Siskel's place, for years. I'm a Karger fan too for reasons more than just his ...reporting.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like Mankiewicz! (and his political "network" or whatever it's called, The Young Turks, is almost worse than Fox News!) I also like Karger, and the passion and joy Alicia Malone has for film is downright contagious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Alicia Malone is my favourite of the current TCM crop. And I know I’m in the minority enjoying Ben’s presenting style. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie2 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 A fairly recent blog post discussing The Fuller Brush Man/Girl movies: https://grandoldmovies.wordpress.com/2020/02/10/sales-fright/ While the writer makes a couple of points about Skelton that I don't agree with, their dissection of Lucy is great.
