Lady in the Corner (1989 TV Movie)
8/10
Three Cheers for Loretta
1 January 2013
Loretta Young at 76 looks unbelievably beautiful. I enjoyed the whole movie, though the end was really not a surprise. I have been a Loretta Young fan since watching her 1950's TV show. Again, at 76 she is quite good. On the mark for every shot. Nice to see Brian Keith again. Loretta plays the editor-in-chief of a high fashion magazine, appropriately called "Grace." That word really fits Loretta Young. And this month, January 2013, Loretta Young is the featured actress on TCM. You can watch many of her movies going as far back as a silent in 1928. In her early movies she was of course beautiful and played against type as a sexy, really young woman. Later she found her niche and became angelic in such movies as "The Bishop's Wife" and "Come to the Stable" where she plays a nun. In Lady in the Corner she confronts a young woman wanting to remake the magazine as a post 1960's hip and sexy publication. But Loretta Young stands firm for grace with a small "g." Eventually the two have a somewhat meeting of the minds when Loretta becomes owner and appoints the young woman as her successor. Thoroughly enjoyable.
