Beware, My Lovely is a 1952 American crime film noir directed by Harry Horner starring Ida Lupino, Robert Ryan and Taylor Holmes.

A widow named Helen Gordon impulsively hires handyman Howard Wilton to help her with house repairs and cleaning, but she quickly discovers that he is dangerous, paranoid and unstable.

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther wrote: "It is a straight tour-de-force situation, clearly contrived and designed for no other positive purpose than to send shivers chasing up and down the spine.

And in that respectable endeavor, its success will depend entirely upon how susceptible you are to illogic and little tricks of looming shadows and clutching hands.
