unredeemed - The Notorious Landlady review by eb
Added to my list because of the cast , Jack Lemmon and Fred Astaire, Kim Novak, and many other fine actors, not to mention the writers, this should only be viewed in the light of what not to do. A waste of many talents. Trivial, tasteless, irritating. Something must have gone wrong in the making. The first time I've been so infuriated I removed the disc half way through.
