- Who would want to kill Kit Preston (Doris Day)? That's the tensionpacked question in this highly charged thriller set in modern day London. As a newly wed heiress, Doris is slowly being driven mad by life threatening phone calls and near-fatal accidents. Although Rex Harrison, her suave industrialist husband, is sceptical of his wife's story, there is a gallery of would-be suspects, including construction gang foreman John Gavin, her adoring next-door neighbour Roddy McDowall and Harrison's troubled treasurer, Herbert Marshall.

By Fog and Daylight - Midnight Lace review by CH
Here is a diverting film. If not exactly the comedy for which Doris Day is best known, this take on early-Sixties London, as known to those who are not only well-heeled but high-heeled, it comes with the sinister matter of her being pursued by anonymous telephone calls which threaten the worst. Not as frightening as this could be, some way after Gaslight, there are so many good roles - not least a welcome appearance by Myrna Loy - that one accepts it all gratefully.
