Review of The Legend of Lylah Clare

"The Legend of Lylah Clare," shows a beautiful Kim Novak, asked to "become" a dead movie star. I don't know what to make of the movie, it needed minimal background music and a better script editor, but I think Kim Novak was wonderful. The background music was absolutely, 100% horrible. If you were to write a movie with "spoiler alert" in the music, this is the perfect example. The actors were hardly given a chance to have their finished work presented as they acted it, because the overbearing, dramatic, campy, awful music might as well had comic bubbles with captions: Attention: Knowing glance over the shoulder coming up in 2 seconds. Attention: Angry person stomping off stage. The music is a big problem with so many movies, a semi-decent script that could be ok, it has good actors - but is doomed with the kiss of death: background music from hell.
