Rating: - A Cross Between "Fatal Attraction" And "Airport 1975"
1956's "Julie" stars Doris Day, Louis Jourdan, Barry Sullivan, and Frank Lovejoy. Parts of the plot aren't exactly brimming over with realism, but this black-and-white thriller/suspense drama remains one of my favorite Doris Day pictures.
Doris portrays "Julie Benton", a woman who suddenly realizes her husband is a murderer. Jourdan plays the obsessive husband, who (it seems) will go to any lengths to track down and do away with the scared-stiff Mrs. Benton.
Both Day and Jourdan do a nice job in this film, IMO, but Sullivan is a tad bit on the "cardboard" side here (playing ... Read More
Rating: - Very Well Made
I highly recommend this 1950's Doris Day thriller directed by Andrew L. Stone who also wrote it and it was nominated in that category for an academy award at the time. Frank Lovejoy gives a great supporting performance as a San Francisco detective and Louis Jordan delivers as the heavy with great panache. Suspenseful throughout with a brilliant ending.
Rating: - DORIS DAY IS A FINE DRAMATIC ACTRESS!
During her career, Doris Day rarely ventured out of her musical comedy range. Films like "Julie", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "Storm Warning", "Young Man with a Horn" and "Midnight Lace" are the exception.

She holds your attention throughout and Doris is such a 'natural' actress that you totally believe and get caught up in her circumstance.
The film is spine-tingling and nail biting that rivets ... Read More
Rating: - What A Great Movie
I have always loved Julie it is such a great movie I bought this movie a few years ago the same edition as pictured and i absolutely loved it! It was so clean and so nice. Doris and Louis made such a great couple. This is not a good movie for kids because of the murder and that sort of stuff but for we adults it is a grand movie! Doris and Louis had such great chemistry !
Rating: - Doris Day In Nail Biting Little Thriller
Long before the word "stalking", became a well known word in our news headlines and almost 30 years before a similiar theme was explored in the frightening "Fatal Attraction", this largely unknown little thriller from MGM explored the same topic in riverting style. It provided Doris Day with a distinct change of direction in the development of her screen image and displayed perfectly her often overlooked dramatic talents. Having already enjoyed Doris Day's work in two other thrillers, Alfred Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much", and "Midnight Lace", I was anxious to see this film and I was impressed ... Read More
