Joan Fontaine as the title character in “Ivy” (1947) — an entertaining, but frustrating, murder thriller that gets a bit contrived in the final act.

For those who have CriterionChannel, the Noir By Gaslight collection of 13 films is available today.

I’ve seen 7 of them, of which 4 are excellent. My top recommendation is “Ladies in Retirement” (1941), followed by “Hangover Square” (1945), “The Suspect” (1944) and “Gaslight” (1944). “So Evil My Love” (1948) is also worthwhile. (I did not like “Dragonwyck” or “Experiment Perilous”.)

Looking forward to exploring the other six!

The September additions to have been announced. It’s great to see they have “Ladies in Retirement” (1941) in their Noir By Gaslight collection. It’s a terrific, underseen film.
