This could have easily been a GREAT film with a slightly higher budget. Sexy 21-year-old Diane Lane is hired as a trendy window dresser with kinky designs, when she is then stalked by a medical assistant who watches her work from his office next door. The plot is quite straightforward, as Diane strikes up a romantic interest with a friendly magazine reporter... but the classic revenge that young Diane later gets, makes the film well worth watching. She eventually ruins her stalker's personal life very methodically, & then locks him in her store display window with vicious guard dogs. Did I mention the sexy scenes by a young 21-yr-old Diane Lane..??.. This movie is fun for both guys & gals. Lady Beware is probably is more of a PG-13 film, with the exception of just a few times that four letter words are used.

This movie definitely has a Grade B feel to it. Diane Lane is only "star" actor in here and she wasn't that big a name in '87 anyway. The story is sleazy one about a window dresser (Lane) who displays almost-pornographic displays with her window mannequins. These semi-erotic dressing attract a stalker to Lane and that's where the suspense come in....good suspense, to be fair. Lane is great to ogle and is not modest in showing herself to us. Actually, this film seems to be only a vehicle or an excuse for the pretty actress to show off her breasts. Otherwise, it's standard "B" fare, because the story sure isn't much.

Diane Lane finally gets a solid part in a pretty good picture; so often, Lane is stuck in unsuitable parts in rather lousy movies ("The Cotton Club", "Streets Of Fire"), so much so that her career nearly evaporated after a promising start. She's first-rate here playing big-city career girl dressing windows for a department store, intriguing a married man who becomes obsessed with her. Surprisingly subtle B-movie overcomes the minimal budget with smart writing and direction, good performances by all in the cast. Lane's converted warehouse digs uncomfortably reminds one of "Flashdance", but the revenge-angle in the second-half is clever and well-done; nicely attuned climax too, making its point without going over-the-top. **1/2 from ****
