I can’t get enough of these films. In those days no violence, no sex, no swearing was allowed, so they had to rely on a good script and good actors. Now actors get paid millions for acting terribly, and people worship them as if they’re Gods. Thank you for letting me go into my own world and enjoy these films.
I'm with you. B/W movies are the best. This has several of my favorite actors: John Archer (White Heat), Walter Long (a frequent laurel and Hardy villain) and Gale Storm (a likely name) who I watched on TV while growing up. I can't get enough of the older stuff. While growing up I watched the "Bill Kennedy Show Time" who played vintage movies in the Detroit/Windsor area. It's in my blood. I can't resist. five years either side of 1935 is what I like. Nerts is a word I use often.
I'm as nostalgic as the next person, but this was hardly great. It's fair to keep that adjective for any number of truly excellent films of that era: other ones are required here. ✨️
Random trivia: John Archer's original last name was Bowman, and he made a career out of playing straight arrows. Elmer Clifton, the director, shot the first L. Ron Hubbard story to be turned into a film, The Secret of Treasure Island.

Enjoyable rainy afternoon movie, although I did kind of fall asleep fifteen minutes towards the end. Still, it's kind of nice when an old movie relaxes you to that point. The ending felt rushed SPOILER hard to fathom why girl reporter was joking with district attorney soon (?) after her father was shot. Perhaps we're to think more time has gone by.

Yep, the ending was just a little shortened. Uh oh daddy's dead time to move on with my romance 🥲 While I have been enjoying late 30's, 40's and 50's films (running low of any I have not seen), they have these fast cut off endings whereas they could have knocked off some of the benign filler instead. Oh well, what's done is done 😋
@@atlasshrugged7475 Also, why would Peterson shoot a gun with a whole roomful of people outside the door? Never would get away with that. But in true Hollywood fashion, the cops showed up in the nick of time. And it must have been a thing back then to have the D.A. or his assistant on scene as well. Have seen that in other noir films.
Enjoyed this film I can watch them for hours if I can unfortunately, I have to get to work, take care of my puppies, the list goes n goes thanks for posting this film!!!!😮😮😅😅😊😊
Sooo great .... awesome acting ... Mr Warner so wonderful..all great . have seen before ..thanks again ..back when movies were fantastic.Gale Storm real young 🇺🇸💛
Gale Storm is the only one I recognize. The Asst DA is like a low budget Dick Powell and the newspaper woman is like a budget Rosalind Russell. I wonder how these actors survived. Other low budget movies, radio?
@@hannahcruz1440 .. The person you refer to was German Actor whom like many got out of Nazi Germany and also just like many Despised Adolf Hitler, he went to Hollywood and playing Nazi Villains in War Movies, Actually I'd never heard of this guy, that being said Goggle Rock's Ha!!! :P] .v ..
At 17:30, Horton is offered a bribe, which he turns down. At 19:31, he discloses that it was a $10,000 bill! These bills were last printed on Dec 27, 1945 and were officially discontinued on July 14, 1969, but pretty much disappeared well before then. As of May 30, 2009, only 336 $10,000 bills were known to exist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denominations_of_United_States_currency
The Treasury used to issue bills with very large denominations. The largest was the $100,000 bill, which had Woodrow Wilson's picture on it. These bills were used primarily to transfer money among banks and became obsolete when wire transfers became possible, whereupon every denomination larger than $100 was retired.
50 years old for a first date? Glad I never grew up in your town. I grew up in Chicago and had my first date when I was 10! We took the bus to Chinatown. Man you were slow, dude. I'm 73.
People used to take care of the old adults, who cared for them, earlier in life. People actually dressed, kept in shape, naturally, a "lady" meant a woman, who behaved like one. Same with a gentleman, meaning a man who acted like one.
The girl Mary is Gail Storm. I wonder if that is the same Gail Storm from the TV series, The Gail Storm Show. Loved the Saddle Oxfords she was wearing when she was being questioned in the Assistant DA's office. Not a bad movie.
Gale was 18 years old when she made this movie. She had not developed her wonderful throaty voice yet! I grew up watching her in several shows; along with I MARRIED JOAN, THE JIM BAKKUS SHOW, and a few others they can’t play as there was no recording of them! Such a shame!
All these Old Black and White Flicks have Great Story Lines and not much Sex or Violence and was made with little Money Compared to the Big Blockbusters today where they Pay the Artists the Big Bucks. The Average Black and White was made for Less than $20,000.00
Why wait so long to divulge the license plate number written on the back of the photo? I don't mean to spoil this - it is just a minor point and won't ruin it for anyone. But after watching, let me know what you think. Thanks. I'm a bored artist in a dry spell getting lost in social media.
Officer Larkin Walter Long always the tough guy in many laurel n Hardy films he was really good I know he would of scared the crap out of me he had such a mean natural look
The actor that played Det. McVeigh was outstanding in the part. At 23:37 that reporters car looks awfully like a Volkswagen. I didn't know Hitler was selling them in the U.S. just before we got into the war.
there were a lot of coup convertibles back the but if you watch closely especially at the last part of that scene you see the camera back off of the car and you can see a more complete picture of the car and the lines are different than a V W but the main thing is the size is wrong V W's were smaller overall and that's a pretty big car besides GERMANY didn't start importing V W's into AMERICA til after the war
I think it's amazing that they had currency like that . My Dad sent me back to get a $10 out of his wallet for ice cream and I brought him a $1,000 bill he said ''son we could buy the whole truck with that
Yes the man in the beginning was in 'It's a Wonderful Life' he played Mr Gower. If it wasn't for George Bailey's quick thinking. (Mr Gower you put poison in those capsules). Mr Gower who have poisoned his child patient by mistake! What a fantastic film. My favourite
I thought that at first, and there is a strong resemblance, but on closer inspection the eyebrows are different. Hedy's are more arched, even in her early photos. And by the way, what a beautiful woman Hedy was!!
Looked her up -"The Black Dahlia" could have done without that. A horror story perpetrated by ta sick, perverse evil. I guess whoever did it is in hell. Don't need more leashed anger in these days and times 😡 .
CDU9176 Haha! She probably knew too much and was blabbing like the other girl they killed. I get the feeling some of the movie ended up on the cutting room floor, or edited for time.
My take on the story is that "out of state jobs" or whatever was a euphemism for prostitution to pass censors. If pre-code and with a bit more of a budget, the mobsters would have had guns, there would be more booze, and there would be less dancing around the subject. I looked up the writers and they seem like an odd couple. Oliver Drake, from Idaho, looks to have spent most of his career writing Western style movies. George Rosener (Dugan in the film), from Brooklyn, played a lot of uncredited acting roles and not a lot of writing.
@@NuncNuncNuncNunc; Hollywood had to dance around the subject because too many in Hollywood were involved in SEX TRAFFICKING and even CHILD trafficking, rape, torture, Luciferian sacrificing, etc. Saturday July 6. 2019, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was once again arrested. He faces life in prison.
I love it... I especially love to hate that weird accent the actors used 30's till the turn of the 50's. What do they call that? "Trans-Atlantic"? "Mid-Atlantic"? Not Brit and not USA. I believe it's pronounced grrrrrrrrrlllllll. Girl... GIRL! Sound it out! But they say something kinda wobbly-sounding "gelels". Yeah, that's it... "gelllle" My god. And that was supposed to be cool. Course, anyone remember when politicians, preachers and professors -- "orated". Yep. It wasn't important what they said.... it's how they say it! Weird. (Altho FDR was a trip) So... when Ole Binyon was Little Binyon in the 50's, and mom would plunck me down in front of the one-eyed babysitter. Tune to Channel 4 KOMO-TV "Movietime on 4". Pure hell. I called it "ickytime on 4". It was the weird accents.... I'm a little kid in mid-50's Seattle. My mother is a New Yorker ... Brooklyn..... So I know NO ONE who sounds like this. Add to all this Movietime on 4 hell, I was worried that I would not like to stand so freaking close to another when I grew up and spoke to other adults. Then I learned this is inappropriate appropriation of personal space, anyway. Unless they're your 'special someone'.... in that case closeness is de rigueur. Oh no. That brings the next torment.... Will I REALLY have to call my special someone "darling"? I mean "dah-ling" I don't want to do that. Great flick. Keep 'em coming, and I'll deal with the childhood trauma of watching flicks like this as Little Binyon! Oh wait... my wife is calling to me.... she's says, "Dah-ling. Where aah the gelles?" OMG I'll apologize in advance for the stream of (un)consciousness. I blame the gummies.

There is no cure - just go with it.
