Review of Julie

Julie (1956)
7/10
Great tense, dramatic thriller!
3 February 2018
The same year Doris Day showed her serious dramatic acting talents in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much, she acted alongside her friend Louis Jourdan in Julie. It's a fantastic, tense thriller, so if you haven't seen it yet, rent it this weekend for a very enjoyable movie night.

It's always fun to watch two beautiful people up on the screen, and Doris and Louis make a beautiful couple. Then again, she looked fantastic with Jack Carson, Howard Keel, and Rock Hudson, so she's just one of those magical actresses who looks wonderful with all her leading men! In any case, the two leads play a married couple with secrets beneath the surface. It's not hard to imagine Louis Jourdan with a bad streak, and he's just as scrumptious in this role as he is in his other bad-boy roles, like The Best of Everything and Dark Journey. Both he and Doris give solid dramatic performances, and writer and director Andrew L. Stone handles his story with a careful and tense hand.

Will Louis's jealousy and temper get the better of him-and the worse of Doris? Find out by watching Julie and holding onto the edge of your seat. Depending on how new your relationship is, you might not want to watch this one with your sweetie pie, but since you'll both have plenty of eye candy to look at, it might just be the perfect late-night date movie.
