Blue Lace

About This Movie

So, 'Blue Lace' from 1986 is a curious blend of mystery and corporate intrigue. It’s about Henry Webb from the SEC, who’s digging into Erica Idol’s life, the youngest woman running her own firm on the stock exchange. The pacing is quite deliberate, almost slow, which lets the tension build during those non-sexual interviews. The performances are interesting, especially how they capture the complexity of Erica and her girls—there's this underlying sense of power dynamics and societal expectations. The film's atmosphere feels a bit gritty, reflective of the era’s view on women in business, making it distinctive in its commentary on ambition and morality in a cutthroat environment.

'Blue Lace' is somewhat elusive in collector circles, with few prints known to circulate. The film has never seen a wide release, which contributes to its scarcity and unique status among genre aficionados. Given its exploration of themes often overlooked in 80s cinema, it's one of those titles that collectors appreciate for its distinct narrative and atmosphere.
