Wissenswertes
The title was changed to "Personal Column" midway through the original U.S. theatrical release because staff at the Production Code Administration thought the word "lured" sounded too much like "lurid". Director Douglas Sirk felt the title change confused potential audiences and led to the film's box-office failure.

Patzer
Sandra, a taxi dancer, is enlisted by Scotland Yard to help catch the killer. Within a short period of time, she is appointed to be a detective and she is issued a gun. This all happens without an interview or any training. At Scotland Yard, firearms are only issued to senior officers, and most certainly not to a recruited civilian such as Sandra.

Zitate
Sandra Carpenter: What is it tonight? A sweepstakes for zombies? I hope you two will be very happy.

Crazy Credits
Opening credits: a flashlight pans along the side of a building, and the credits are written on the side of the wall.

A nice surprise!

Great, atmospheric tale of a struggling chorus girl (Lucille Ball)who is used as bait by London police to catch a serial killer who preys on women through newspaper personal advertisements.

Douglas Sirk is the Director of the Moment due to the release of the superb Far from Heaven -a remake of Sirk's All That Heaven Allows- and his films are now being rented and talked about as if they never existed. This film is a beautiful showcase for the almost larger-than-life characters, incredibly detailed sets, and use of lighting that would become trademarks for his later films.

Lucille Ball makes a great 'dame' and her dramatic abilities were sensational. Boris Karloff takes his one scene and plays it to the creepy hilt while George Sanders was a rather cool and sexy guy before he sealed his film fate as Addison DeWitt in All About Eve.

Lured maybe hard to find in most video stores but give it a chance if you come across it.
