Monday night is here, and you’ve got two choices: Watch something forgettable on Netflix while doom-scrolling TikTok, OR Strap in for Borderline (1950), the noir thriller that dares to ask: What if Lucille Ball ditched the comedy and went undercover in a drug smuggling ring with Fred MacMurray’s less-happy twin? 🎭💃💼 👮‍♀️ Wait—Lucille Ball in a Serious Role? YES. That’s right.

Think Ocean’s Eleven , if it was soaked in bourbon and cigarette ash, with none of the charm but all of the tension. 🥃🚬💥 Why ...
