5.0 out of 5 stars
Great "Hedy Lamarr" mystery drama, September 1, 2000
Hedy Lamarr plays a professional editor for a women's glamour magazine involved in a murder investigation. As police probe, suspicions turn her way. She's not the person she is believed to be. Also starring: Dennis O'Keefe, John Loder We love Hedy Lamarr. In real life, she is the reason behind the cellular phone technology. During WWII, she patented a means to help navy devise a radio-signal to guide torpedoes that would the Germans couldn't blow up. She suggested a shifting sequence, as in the signal of one device would synchronize like a musical song with another. If you didn't know the song, you couldn't jam the radio signal. She never collected a dime. After her patent expired and ignorance died out, the navy re-looked at her idea. Hedy Lamarr-- the lovely actress with a clever mind!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Hedy is exquisite in this one..., January 23, 2000
Despite Boyer's unfounded criticism of Hedy's acting ability, this is a wonderful film in which she displays a range of emotions including perhaps the hardest thing to act, being tipsy. She is a good actress and is totally gorgeous as a NYC "modern woman" with a promiscuity problem in this film. Through the Providential intervention of a wise shrink, one wonders if she will overcome it and find true happiness as a simple doctor's wife--or revert to life as a well-paid, hi-fashion mag. editor... Helen Gurly Brown should be so lucky to have Hedy's looks! One of her six husbands and the father of two of her children, John Loder, is in this film as well. If you like Hedy, you'll like this film and you'll like seeing John Loder get dead.

Katharine Hepburn is beautiful, BUT..., October 27, 2001
This review is from: Dishonored Lady [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Katharine Hepburn is breathtakingly beautiful and a wonderful actress to boot in this, her very first film. BUT, this film is terrible. One wants to smack all of the characters for needlessly throwing their lives overboard. I'm a sympathetic girl but only to a point. It's impossible to sympathize with the motivations of Hepburn and the whole lot.
