"Beware, My Lovely" (1952) is a suspense film produced by Collier Young/Ida Lupino's production company The Filmakers.

Plot

The film is set in 1918 in an unnamed small town. A widow (Lupino) impulsively hires handyman (Ryan) to look after her house. She soon learns Ryan is a dangerous schizophrenic, but by the time she comes to this realization she is unable to escape her house.

Production

This story was originally done on stage, then on the CBS radio show Suspense as "To Find Help" on January 18, 1945 with Frank Sinatra as Howard and Agnes Moorehead as Mrs. Gillis (Mrs. Gordon in the film). It was dramatized again on Suspense in 1949 with Gene Kelly and Ethel Barrymore on January 6, 1949.

Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan were teamed again for this suspenseful romp into psychosis. The cinematography contains several choice visual bits, giving Ryan the chance to play, convincingly so, a lunatic who kills lonely women. One reviewer stated that one should see the film if only to witness Ryan's performance as the pathetic handyman.
