Lewis &#8212; a 65-minute movie that moves along at a clip, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and has a satisfying conclusion &#8212; is an &#8220;exceptional &#8216;B&#8217; suspense thriller&#8221;, exactly the type of story Hitchcock would have enjoyed filming given its extreme suspense and paranoia-driven plot. Peary points out that it &#8220;bears [a] slight resemblance to <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=1003\"><em>So Long at the Fair<\/em><\/a>, only here the woman has to prove her own existence rather than the existence of a brother.&#8221; He also notes that you &#8220;feel more frightened for Foch than for Ingrid Bergman in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=20334\"><em>Notorious<\/em><\/a> when she&#8217;s trapped in the house with Claude Rains and his evil mother&#8221;, and posits that while Macready played many chilling villains,&#8221; &#8220;none is scarier than the character he plays here.&#8221; Remade by Arthur Penn in 1987 as <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0092842\/\"><em>Dead of Winter<\/em> <\/a>with Mary Steenburgen, but this version remains much better in every way. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many suspenseful scenes<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3-1024x755.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"472\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-68876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3-1024x755.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3-768x566.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3-366x270.png 366w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still3.png 1304w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2-1024x751.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"469\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-68874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2-1024x751.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2-768x563.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2-368x270.png 368w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/My-Name-is-Julia-Ross-Still2.png 1299w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes; definitely check this one out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good Show<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0037932\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/73767.html\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You know perfectly well I&#8217;m Julia Ross!&#8221; Synopsis: A woman (Nina Foch) believes she is being hired as a live-in secretary for an elderly woman (Dame May Whitty) and her grown son (George Macready); in actuality, the pair plan to pass her off as Macready&#8217;s murdered wife, and then kill her in an &#8220;accident&#8221;.
