- Not really a "Reelblack" movie, but a fun little "B" picture with an amusing turn by one of our favorite character actors, Mantan Moreland. Shared for historical purposes.
------
Phantom Killer is a 1942 American romantic mystery film directed by William Beaudine, and starring Dick Purcell, Joan Woodbury and John Hamilton. The film was a remake of Phil Rosen's The Sphinx.
A series of murders seems to implicate a deaf-mute philanthropist, except he has ironclad alibis for all of them. Besides, he has spoken to at least one man who was nearby when the latest killing occurs. - Wikipedia

RIP Mantan, thank you for all the years of making us laugh. The girl reminded me a heck of a lot like Lois Lane, Perry White was in there, she mentioned the name Clark and Superman also.
Thank you so very much for putting the great comedian Mantan Moreland’s rare movies on RUclips. I’m 73, and I’ve never seen him in anything other than a few “Charlie Chan” movies and “King of the Zombies.” He’s an American icon.
This comment brought back fond memories of Saturday TV watching with my Dad💝
The topper films were great
Mantan Moreland has saved many a picture .
Mantan Moreland IS many a picture
April 3rd 2021 I put in the comment section that reelblack would reach 1M before the end of the year - Let's go!
Enjoy these old movies real class keep showing them
I’ll watch anything with Mantan Moreland in it…glad to hear he had a successful mostly prosperous career.
So would i. He's good in the Charlie Chan films
@@simonwarner1397 yes…that’s where I discovered him….loved the predictive conversation routine he does with the other black gentleman …whose name escapes me….
I love anything Mantan plays in.
I love all his films. He's a great character actor and comes up with all sorts of hilarious lines and sometimes it's just the comedic looks he gives. We need more actors of his calibre. I also wish that the TV film channels would screen some of his films. The station Talking Pictures screens the odd Charlie Chan film- sometimes with him in it. I'd love to get a box set of his films and just enjoy them
@@hertzair1186 I think his name was Ben Carter
Clever little thriller if you enjoyed it check out The Sphinx 1933 starring Lionel Atwill unfortunately there is no Mantan Moreland to supply comic relief but it it is still a good thriller. Thanks for posting.
Did not realize this movies a remake of The Sphinx (1933).
Who knew they were already making remakes in the early 1940's???
Edit. Well they did of course make remakes of all the silent pictures. But The Sphinx from 1933 is a talking picture.
I LOVE ANYTHING starring Mantan Moreland and Dick Purcell !!!
Yeah he also teamed up with Frankie Darro another great actor. When you look 👀 back Mantan made a lot of films 😉
I have been a fan of Mantan Moreland for decades. I am 64 years old and discovered his movies when I was very young. I just now discovered your channel. I am not Black but I'm not blind. I know great talent when I see and hear it.
That's what I'm talking about I'm 64 bless u.
@@sharoncooke8096 Thank you.
I'm almost 70 and I agree with you completely
I like that the two police detectives in the early part of the movie referred to Moreland’s character as a “man”and not a “boy.”
I agree calling a black man a boy is demeaning and derogative. Unfortunately that was part of our history 😉 lol
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFEgood day Jonathan you might not understand my meaning about the name or word boy. It was derogatory towards black men during the slave days up until the 60s and civil rights movement. I hope you understand now😉👍
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE let’s not bicker 👌 we’re brothers across the big pond although there is some scot in me😊
When Mantan is looking at the mug shot book , he refers to High Pockets , a black man, as not a bad boy . Then comments on 14 years being a long time.
As a black man I agree!
We need to do whatever we can to uphold this very needed channel.
Agreed. When I found this channel I was kinda pissed I didn't find it sooner, but it gave me time to binge.
The best channel on RUclips!!!! We subscribers support you, keep up the stellar work. Our children and grandchildren can see all of our wonderful actors because of you!! Blessings! 💯🙏🏽
There’s no one like Mantan!!!
YES !!!
The part with the wife arguing on the phone with her husband had me cracking up.😁😁😂😂😂😂
Mantan is the man. there isn't even a close second.
I love Mantan Moreland.I would watch anything with him in it!
My new favorite channel is back !!!!!!! I was hurt to find out they were messing with this legendary channel
Mantan Moreland is the real talent here. Monogram used him in a lot of movies, so they must have known it, too.
I like Mantan Morelands every thing. As a child I loved him
Congratulations on 1million subscribers much luv keep them coming
What an excellent wee movie...cheers 🏴
Super film. Many thanks. May, 2023.
Thank you for that. I really meant it. Regards. May 2023.
We are on our way to 1 million!👏🙌👏
The sad part is there are cases that have been deflected from important men and accredited to innocent people who are still in jail
Mantan Moreland was hilarious
YES. He always is !!!
Mantan Moreland looks more like Martin lol
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE ...if you are talking about Joan Wood- but, see her in "I KILLED THAT MAN". She and Iris Adrian are at their best.
WOODBURY
Dick Purcell and Joan Woodbury were with Mantan Moreland in “King of the Zombies,” too.
I loved that piano part had my heart racing oooooh, I loved the fact that they kept searching the piano too....... 😂😂I'm 34 yrs old watching these I've never seen em🤣
Yeah boy! Mantan was a funny guy, i salute him for making many a picture tollerable.
Mantan Moreland was in a lot of movies, got paid well, and lived very well. He was funny, intelligent and was one who got jobs in movies in a time that a black man had problems in that area, but not him.
Oh but I thought he couldn't talk or hear.🤔🤔🤔
Montan Moreland is the man very funny especially in Charlie Chan movies. I like this channel keep up the good work
Thank you for liking my comment
Mantan Moreland was a great comedic actor. The actor who played Harris also played Perry White in the old Superman tv series.
And did you catch the Superman reference early on?
@@edfitz3765 Mr. Hamilton resembled and sounded like Clark Kent's boss from "The Adventures of Superman". After the movie I researched on Wikipedia. That was the final confirmation. I used to watch that series as a child. "Look up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No it's SUPERMAN!"
At11:24 she says “even Superman “ couldn’t do that.
The police sgt’s. [Warren Hymer] facial expressions are hilarious.
Hi Reelblack , i friggin love Manton Moreland a great comedian who split from his partner Ben and never really got the great movies with great punchlines, i dont think he got out of poverty row and Monogram , but so many of us love him. I see him turn up as a taxi driver in this and the other always great Thank you.
His partner Ben died
Great movie
I watch any movie with Mantan. Especially if I never saw it b4.
These movies are really good, wish I would have discovered them sooner 😊😁
Moreland has a bit more screen time in this than in most Charlie Chan movies, so this one's a real treat.
And though built on an illogical premise, the film's great. Suspenseful, fast paced and has really wonderful characters. And the comedic touches are done really deftly which in that era is not all that common.
Mantan Moreland never disappoints me I love ❤️ it when his eyes pop out but there is another who falls under the radar, Warren Hymer, his facial mannerisms everything about him, hilarious it’s too bad he died so young 😪

The Politician made his point that too in such a subtle way.
This is a real case of the good ol boys protecting each other..... Protecting the guilty in the face of overwhelming evidence. Real life right here frfr
The phone bit is a hoot . I saw a film once where the guy got fustrated and dropped the phone into a fishbowl , bubbles started comeing from the earpiece and when the bubbles hit the surface they popped and the woman's voice was still riseing hell. So funny . 😊😅😂
Case of new ideas that can change the world being squashed by old ideas that hold it hostage
Mantan always good,improved anything he was in
Mantan Moreland was a genius of entertainment, timing, presentation and visual expression. Without technical special effects. That's a true actor and can not be taught.
He bent that corner so fast 😂 🤣 ↩️
You gone catch a cold laying down here like that
Same opening as the sphinx!
Good Mystery brightened By Mr Moreland’s performance.
Thank you. Your's is a great channel.
Now that was a Cool Movie!😊
what a wonderful comedic actor Mantan was. Loved him always from the Chan films.
UAUUIUUU
TOPPPP

I like these older movies they are more respectful compared to now a day movies.. I really like Mantan Moreland's acting in all the movies I seen so far of him in . 😎👍🏼😎👍🏼
The font is interesting.

15:35 Its Perry White from the Daily Planet.

This is the real s*** totally found this by accident and now I'm a Believer
I can't help what that says..... That's the man that was talking to me
Thanks for the video
Mantan was one of the greats RIP.👈
The doot to doo did it for me
The actor that played The deaf-mute reminds me of the actor that played The editor in The Superman series with George Reeves
Good movie!
Wait a minute here he is
My man say, "I'm supposed to send a man to the electric chair today. Is this where I does it?" Uh-uh no sir 💀🤣
You sending him to the electric chair today, baby? Is that what you doing? 🤣🤣🤣
Why dont you upload your videos on Lbry or Odysee? These platforms are less restricted than this one.
I'm so happy to see an upload tonight... Along with the good news the strikes are being removed, the people came together to save our precious #ReelBlack Library 💎 AND 2k AWAY TO #1MILLIONSUBS💕🎉🎆
If possible can we get a live stream party?😜 Maybe pushing my luck lol🤞🏾🙏🏾🤓
Perry White Editor Daily Planet..
Awesome
Mantan M. always makes me laugh; But did anybody notice that they misspelled his name in the credits?
This is Monogram, a CHEAP studio, which wouldn't worry about proofreading.
Birmingham Brown
LOL, a good woman is always behind the man!
Thanks
Isn't this a cover?
That guy Harrison he played as Perry White on the Superman show
He put the da in that job... And he's gonna keep him there. She's coreect but he should cut her loose she's a lunatic and delirious
I’ll sub, love Mantan
In the beginning name credits Mantan’s name is spelled wrong Manton!
Mantan moorland does it again 😊😊
فلم اكثرمن رائع شكراًجزيلاً
I don't know what the studio paid Mantan, but it wasn't enough.
His name is spelled Manton Moreland in the opening credits
Warren Hymer was a great character actor
