Lured (also known as Personal Column in the UK) is the title of a 1947 film released by United Artists, directed by Douglas Sirk, and starring Lucille Ball, George Sanders, Boris Karloff, Charles Coburn, and Cedric Hardwicke.
Ball plays Sandra Carpenter, a dance hall girl hired to catch a murderer, with Sanders playing Robert Fleming, a suspicious man who wins Sandra's heart.
This is considered to be one of Lucille Ball's best dramatic roles. Critics enjoyed her pairing with the cynical Sanders.
A serial killer in London is murdering young women whom he meets through the personal columns of newspapers; he announces each of his murders to the police by sending them a cryptic poem. After a dancer disappears, the police enlist an American friend of hers, Sandra Carpenter, to answer advertisements in the personal columns and so lure the killer. Written by David Levene
