Love these old low budget spy movies. All acting and great plot.
06:20 Wearing a winter coat and scarf and driving a convertible with the top down...
Ok, this is a really good watch. Never heard of it before and took a chance and would watch it again. They packed a lot into those 70 minutes.
It's interesting to see the infra-red scope technology of the day used in the film.
Notice the square screen and flat.
@@UQRXDthey were time travelers...or at least they managed to send tech from the future
Great film! Thank you for posting!
@30:27 best hallway cross-up I've seen in a long-time. Great military precision!
Effective B-movie spy thriller, well handled with a twist in the middle for a change! Enjoyed it.
Hats and caps off! To a day when we actually honored the military instead of acting as if it was our enemy!
Amen!!!
It was during this great era that films were made that honored the military, police, and the country.
& let them survive on the streets!
The problem right now today within the last few years of Biden is that they have allowed the military to expand in ways that no military should ever be forced to . Take a look at who leads the military. Transgenders. Recruitment is at its lowest level .
We are the laughing stock.
TRUMP 24 🚂🚃🇺🇸🧱 🧱
Lol, because movies based on radio serials always reflect reality... rose colored glasses much?
At about 12:20, the narration says that every day lost at the torpedo factory was a feather in Hitler's war bonnet. Up to this point, the movie had been talking about the Pacific Campaign. I think that the line should have mentioned Japan instead of Hitler. Oh well, I suppose it's too late to get my thoughts to the writers...lol..!!
At 24:20, the lip reader is none other than the Western star and famous stunt man, Jock Mahoney.
Thanks, Sprocket Vault, for this movie.
Given the crap quality of the Mk 14 torpedo and the purely American corruption and incompetence that let them stay that bad until they'd resulted in the deaths of thousands of US submariners, they needed to spend more effort looking at American businessmen whose only loyalty was to their profits. None of the Axis powers had anything to do with that debacle, they only benefited from it.
The mark 14 torpedo was made in a us government factory
Designed by us government people .
No big business to blame here !
Look it up.
This was a very good movie! Thank you...🇺🇸 😎👍☕
Great movie and my favorite type.
THANKS A BUNCH .
Being an "nut" about Old Time Radio, I had listened to the "David Harding Counterspy" radio shows so this movie (made the year before I was born) is extra interesting. I still have memories as a very small boy sitting in our living room with my brother and my parents listening to the national radio shows (i.e. Jack Benny, Lux Radio Theater, etc.) since we did not get a television set until the late 1950s
I was working when this came on. I actually thought I was listening to a radio broadcast.
We didn't get t.v until 1963 ? - so the bugs would be worked out and prices down ha
back in my day we used to play outside instead of sitting in front of the radio all day
Sure do remember those days. I would listen to the lone ranger with my dad. Also the green hornet. Those were the best days
Willard Parker starred on tv as Ranger Jace Pearson in "Tales of the Texas Rangers", a 50s series.
And his partner in that Texas Rangers series, Harry Lauter, was in another one of these David Harding flics, Counterspy Meets Scotland Yard. Watched it every Saturday morning.
whoever wrote this dialogue is funny. I like this main character guy.
Great flick TSV and good pick by you.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
We don't initial the "s" in "Uncle Sam" as we do in "stupidity " lol, great line.
John Dehner is in this film in a small role. Twenty-four years later he would play Dean Acheson in "The Missiles of October" about the 1962 Cuban nuclear missile crisis in the JFK administration. The actor playing the factory doctor had quite a range to cover in his role. First the kindly doctor, then......
Dehner was great as the college dean in "Creator" (had the best line in the film...).
@@henryj.8528 Dehner was pretty good in just about everything he appeared in, always a welcome face in a movie.
The original Paladin.
I goofed. Have gun will travel was one of the few shows that went from TV to radio.
@@j3lny425 I think you were right the first time, according to Wikipedia he first played Paladin in 1958 on the radio, several years before the TV show.
Great flick!
Filmes clásicos de este tipo siempre fueron mis predilectos por el juego sicológico en privar en ellos que siempre lo tenían a uno en suspenso hasta lo último.
Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
Si' senor'
Poor Edwards, you were never meant to be a spy, you should have chosen a different job!!
You didn't only fail miserably, to follow others unoticed, you also got beaten too much!
@25:47 "Parsons? Get a hold of that prescription, substitute it for knockout drops"
Damn, those old g-men didn't fuck around!!
The waiting is the hardest part...Tom Petty agrees🎸🎶🎤
Excellent film
Ah, the '50s...... When you could strike a match anywhere.
Good movie. Thanks.
Great film, thank you.
I like this. Creative story.
A great example of an intelligence officer thinking with what's between his legs rather than with his brain.
Actually, your comment reveals your own mind.
it works for James Bond
So...he's human and likes women.
@@strangevisions5162 and Maxwell Smart too.
You got that right.
though i didn't like the ending plus it felt rushed on/tacked on to finish it i enjoyed the rest, thank you for posting it i watched it's sequel which can be found really easy on you tube but this one no place had online at all until now so i thank you
Beautiful eye contact
Just luved the line " state side " when America ruled the world
When dictating a letter, he needs to sign it LIEUTENANT Commander, not Commander, which is a rank above his.
This is NOT just movie, but excellent instructional spy program for our adversaries, n in my opinion, there is NOT doubt whatsoever KGB or back cold war era, ENTIRE Soviet agents learned. It is excellent tool revealing n exposing HOW we operate, TOO good for our adversities to know about how secrete agent department operate 2 catch domestic spies. Movie like this is mixed beg, entertain but also showing our enemies how they can catch their spies working 4 us!
Agree with Mr. Yerdon’s comment.
Two interesting points about male psychology in movies and TV shows from the 40s and 50s. (1) It was possible for a man to have a "best friend," which seems to be no longer the case. (2) The ideal man is more "disagreeable" than most men are; a "tough guy"--no wonder his "best friend' is dead.
Eddy in the mind 🍃🌷🍃in constant flux
@ 6:41, that fire hydrant is pretty well closed in!
By god! With the closing line of this movie, I HAD to salute the flag!!! 🇺🇸
THIS GUY WAS THE FATHER OF BOND
It looked to me like he was lighting a cigarette. It didn't look like a Hearing Aid problem, or a crook in his neck.
you must work on your observation skills.
A ripping yarn. Thanks.
1:10 Three men in trench coats walking 10 feet behind each other in a deserted street at night without noticing each other.
I hear that. I've lived in Detroit for 16 years and there's no way in hell someone is following me that close without getting a good visual of my 357
Good movie did not insult intelligence.
Probably a typo, but made me think, 'in-elegance' is all that today's films rely on to carry them. Shock value replaces talent.
@ 43:20 The good doctor gave that lady quite a dose of medicine!
Good film
1:24 toke, toke it up man!!!
I wonder if at the time, FBI was really housed in mansion like that...
Can u add lots of Roger Corman movies
I believe the announcer was Mr. K. V. Kaltenborn.
So many trenchcoats!
I like!
As long as they smoke and drink, as long as rains or snows, as long as you hear ship horns and train whistles and there is a barometer on the wall, and people are wearing hats and...trenchcoats, nothing can go wrong.
Yep!
Great name for a spoof movie.
The director: “More trenchcoats! The scene needs more trenchcoats!”
18:22 so you're gonna complain about low alcohol, but only take a sip? talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!
54:40 they guy impersonating Hopkins was in a Hogans Heroes episode. He played a General who forgets people's name. Like Colonel Fink, Colonew Grogen.
I don't recognize him.
Correction , 1950 film.
What?! So Betty is gonna be executed as a spy? 😂
The gas chamber, baby!!! 🤗
read the Verona papers.
Venona Papers.
The ironic thing is that this when the Cambridge five were doing their best work for the KGB
The Navy sentry's rifle is a Springfield which has not been used since World War One. The movie ends with "we don't initially yes an Uncle Sam the same as we do with stupidity" ???
Actually, it's an M-1 Garand, battle rifle for the military from before WWII to the mid fifties.
@@warplanner8852 Ouch ! The 1st commenter just got a Garand thumb ...
@bobbeckel52266 What does that line mean? I don't get it.
G E N E R A L knowledge = look it up. Has to do w the nasty habit of hurting one s finger if one removed the empty loading comb the wrong way. Happened easily when fingers clattering during combat in noradrenaline situations. (Just rewatched, a good 'un ..)

David Harding, Counterspy (1950)
Based on the long-running radio program created by Philips H. Lord, the film opens with a radio commentator blasting the U. S. government for the manner in which a certain foreign power has obtained secret information during WWII. The commentator is brought to the secret headquarters of "David Harding, Counterspy" where he learns that the story was deliberately planted with the commentator to fool the enemy. Harding them tells, in flashback, a specific story to illustrate how counter-espionage works. Jerry Baldwin, a U.S. Navy officer is brought to a city where torpedoes are manufactured for the Navy, and his assignment is to find out information is leaking out to the enemy. - imdb
10:40 Her hat was re-used in The Flying Nun.
I agree, but we have no control over this. My suggestion is you subscribe to RUclips Premium. Sure, it costs $11.99/month, with 30-day free trial, but it eliminates commercials altogether, and gives other perks. I watch a lot of RUclips; the commercials annoyed me, too, so I signed up for Premium and it is worth every penny.
Then don't ever get a"TURK" to save on cable TV --It's a joke.
The downside is we can't afford to license and make movies available if we don't receive at least some sort of revenue. The pennies we receive from RUclips achieve that goal. If you subscribe to RUclips Premium, at least we receive some sort of remuneration, however small.
Plus you get RUclips music for free.
Good
Brutally honest reveal of what the post-WW2 Cold War propaganda was all about, and this did start by that time. We were far better off than we are now, given the total violation of our Constitutional rights under the Patriot Act. This film is most instructive, just the same
31:34… She’s the spy??!!
1953 movie
🤩🤩💖
Jock Mahoney has a small role @1:03:26.
IM 10 MINS IN AND ILL BET ITS THE WIFE WHOS THE SPY
agree, n em'bedded' spy ha. ha -all but confirmed with the popcorn scene - don't tell me though
Jock Mahoney
Awesome film. We should have such priorities today. Our country is falling apart and our administration is taking it there. We are selling our country out.
With the media also.
They said during war time you know what the penalty is? We need to do that now. I love movies of this type.
Typical distortion of the message...Our country is now in sensible, dependable hands, thank God, and we are moving forward after 4 years of authoritarian obstruction by a charismatic, criminal, destructive personality. Face the truth, for a change!
Not just your country Dan, most countries are just the same, here in the UK 🇬🇧, the politicians are not really interested in the general public, except when it is voting time when they hold Babies and give promises . In reality they look after their chums who they were at school with it, you know the ones like Eton etc.
Do u think democrats in congress like trump? Nah, they loathe him, detest him, they hate his guts! Now if he eere a criminal theyd make certain he was in jail but " the left make accusation, the right cite examples". Roostah 1987,
Why will haven’t colored version?
Kya hua, yaar?
That hat is ridiculous
Cute❤
I'd give this a C...hoaky acting
I am not sre what spy agency that was but they sure abused folk's human rights. Knocking someone out with pills to determine if his hearing aid was a camera? Otherwise entertaining.
BOO !! HISS !! 😡 !!
In mid-stream this plot FLIPS to rank-anateurish !!
What a gross disappointment !!
ABORT ! ABORT !! ABORT !!!

The only thing worse than this are the ads every 5 minutes. Bye bye.
You can get youtube premium for 10 dlrs a month truly worth it
Watch it on a phone that you can download from... Not a single ad, and I never realized some computers don't have download options, but I prefer watching films with no ads so I download on my phone .. hope that helps?
that's weird, no ads here and I'm watching for free /??
I've noticed this over time in the comments, some people point out about seeing loads of ads where as some people watching the same film see none, its not the 'content provider' who decides it.
I watched the entire film without a single ad. Might be your internet provider.
Film Propagnda = Mind Control / Social Engineering. Propaganda films spread and promote certain ideas that are usually religious, political, or cultural in nature.
Why the thumbnail in colour! Clickbaith
All the black & white films had color posters made up to promote the films at movie theatre exteriors.
I get irritated when I see utter stupidity in some of these movies. Will forgo the obvious exs. so no 'official' spoilers.😖
Not as good as the OTR show was, but not terrible for what it is. The framing device is pointless and awkward, but the show did that sometimes too. The ending's no more abrupt than many films of its ilk despite the complaints in the comments. Audience tastes have just changed in that regard, and not necessarily for the better. IMO too many modern films end with a twenty minute orgy of violence rather than the thirty seconds here.
Usual tediously all-white main cast and male-dominated but that's to be expected in this era. At least it's light on the racist twaddle and Long's character has some autonomy, albeit not much and all focused on a relationship with a man.
43:20 Oh FFS, the only appropriate response to that hit would be for her to laugh, knee him in the balls and tell him he hits like a wimp while he's curled up in a ball crying. You couldn't knock out a toddler with that punch, much less an adult woman. Not even trying to make that look real.
Because most of us love all-white main cast and male-dominated. What's tedious is people like you hypocrites who want it to be all non-white and female-dominated. So make your own movies!
back when women actually were held to account, unlike in todays' new world order where women never ever do anything that could be remotely misconstrued as nefarious.
Welcome to a better world than that one, Mr. Mysogynist.
Now our own government is the culprit
