Only the British can tell a story that keeps intrigued to the very end! So very well done! BRAVO! Marvelous movie!
Just brilliant!
Thank you for sharing this great movie!
Akira Kurosawa Watch his Movies He is Japanese
I’m like a prospector traversing the plains of RUclips searching for gold. Sometimes I’m lucky and sometimes I’m not. Today, I’ve struck it rich - pure gold! Thank you MansaiStuff. Wonderful Sunday afternoon treat in the middle of this lockdown-shut-up.
Yes, this movie was gold!
Hi, put into the RUclips search box "old British movies " and you'll find some great channels that show a lot of this kind of gem!
……you mean the plandemic, don’t you?
Do not , by any means, stop taking your medications

Hi Dr Mickey, thank you for you gracious advice. Yes, my meds (films of old) certainly enable me to escape from the ugly realities around me.
Allow me, good doctor, to confess. I am not blessed with the critical faculties of high-browed critics like those of the New York Times and others (like you) of that distinguished peerage. I am a humble commoner, the proverbial man in the street, who, after a hard day's night, looks forward to the prospect of enjoying a film with an uncomplicated plot line and believable characters: exposition, development, climax, denouement and resolution.
My allusion to the desperate prospector is, of couse, metaphorical. In the final analysis, everything is relative - never absolute - particularly in the realm of aesthetics. I accept that what's gold to me may be a lump of unmitigated excrement to the smart fella (check Spoonerism) next to me.
I shall continue to take my meds (chronically). They preserve my sanity especially when I awaken to what's being churned out from contemporary Hollywood.
I adore these old British flicks. They have excellent performances, texture, props, interesting plots...all in glorious black and white. I can not stand Netflix productions...too "glossy" for me. Thanks a lot for sharing.
No one speaks lawyer talk like Francis L Sullivan, one of the greats of British film, he was great as Mr Jagger's in great Expectations, a great voice never forgotten..
💯🎬🇬🇧⚖️💪
Classy movie. Brilliant performance by every cast. It's really unfortunate that why can't nowadays story writers can't make movies like these old classics.
They can, and do. Maybe you should make a greater effort to find them, rather than leave this kind of lazy, unoriginal comment.
@@Hexon66😮
Because they have no class
@@Hexon66
Is that in black and white
One movie, with a great cast and story. Sullivan is one of my favorites, Goring had the creepiest Eyes ever and Greta is flawless as usual. TY.
Just superb. Felt like I was watching Hitchcock at times.
What a delicious drama. so well written and crafted to show how love and trust are so easily threatened. How we love it when love persists, the full truth is revealed and the public servants do a good job. What a brilliant idea to let a lovely tune be the clue to a terrible act and to have someone come behind the heroine when she plays in the chapel .
If music be the food of drama , intrigue , love and discovering things beyond , PLAY ON .
MARIUS GORING! Even under that false nose he still turns in yet another incredible performance. Wonderful and oh so creepy. He pulls the whole film up a notch out of the mediocre and into the classic. He was the best.
Pure escapism...thanks for the download...the old movies are the best when you are my age. 70 plus .
Elizabeth Reign Castillo you get
Elizabeth Reign Castillo I dunno - they are pure magic at my age - 52 as well!
my age too. 29!
Amen! .. 74 plus.
58 and don’t waste my time on the new “junk”
Addicted to old movies, especially GB ones. Give this 9 out of 10.What a great piece of music; very atmospheric.
Steve Royle love em too, but there is a magical era on BBC PBS serials drone during the 70s. The Upstairs Downstairs serial, All Creatures Great and Small. Good stuff. After that.. there was The Godfather movies, and the end of sensible movies.
@@ziblot1235 Well said indeed! I fully agree.
@@ziblot1235Middlemarch, Upstairs Downstairs, A Horseman Riding By, All Creatures Great and Small, The House of Elliott, The Onedin Line, Brideshead Revisited, The Barchester Chronicles, Game, Set and Match, Reilly Ace of Spies, House of Cards[the British one], Smiley's People, A Perfect Spy,
@@ziblot1235 What was nonsensical about the Godfather movies (specifically 1 and 2)?
There are still wonderful films made especially British ones, don't be daft
Excellent Film, have seen it 5 times now and regardless of it's age it is highly watchable, tight and not a wasted second. Thanks
TAKE MY LIFE (1947) - Clearly one of my favorites; at least among my Top 10 favorite movies of all time. And, of course, the upload of this movie is so professionally done. Thanks so very much!
Well written drama!! We enjoyed it! Thanks for making it available!!
I love old and new films but you cannot beat watching the old films on a Saturday afternoon when the weather is bad and nothing else on tv
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BLACK AND WHITE FILMS IT'S SUCH CHARACTOR AND CLASS XXXXXXX💖💖💖💖💖💖
Rosalie Crutchley was lovely. She hardly changed over the next 50yrs
She was so sexy in A tale of two cities!
These old films are so entertaining, always satisfying. The camera work was excellent in this film. Great story and every actor played given role perfectly. Thanks for posting!
Absolutely fantastic movie; and such well-mannered policemen...They dont shout and scream, they dont make threats, they dont resort to violence and abuse....
THEY didn't have to deal with the society in which we live these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A little slow at the start, but give it a few minutes. WOW! What an ending! Great Movie.
Love these old British crime dramas. Music first-class also.
Marius Goring (Sidney Fleming) was such a masterful actor as shown in this very entertaining film. Thank you for posting.
I don't remember Marius Goring having such a long pointed nose. Was he wearing a false one?
@@neillennox8472 Yes, Marius had his nose altered with prosthetics in this film to make him look like Huw Williams. Check out our Marius Goring website mariusgoring.com. We have info on this film and his entire career.
English is certainly the most beautiful language in the world, especially when the right people speak it - such as Williams/Gynt in this movie. GRETA GYNT! Certainly one of the very best of the "unknown" actresses.... Such a uniquely attractive speaking voice! What an amazing multitalented Norwegian beauty in so many ways! Not only her looks, singing, acting...but her speaking voice is certainly one of the most charming I've ever heard. Hugh Williams, too, was excellent in this lesser-known gem of a movie. Thank you for uploading this video.
Greg K. you get the best films ever the old ones are the best
Francis Loftus Sullivan is also excellent in this film classic.
Every language has its beauty.
So true. Their enunciation was so clear and crisp. You can unserstand every word so clearly. Shame thats a thing of the past now...
@@charliewest1221 Jagger's, what a great actor
I agree with g that the English spoken language is such a delight to hear and so different from how it's spoken today
Such a shame it’s now been ‘polluted’.
Thank you for uploading this film. My boyfriend and I love watching these old movies. Good script and great acting.
Excellent! Thank you for posting this little gem.
A wonderful movie.... thanks for the upload. Very taut and gripping.
Has a flip side flavor of "Witness for the Prosecution".
Francis Sullivan's performance was quite understated.
Really enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the upload!
Witness for the Prosecution was a GREAT film! I've been looking for somewhere to d/l it. Haven't found a link yet.
@@flyingtentfilms9268 There's at least one version on RUclips.
I really liked this old movie. Very enjoyable. Thank you for uploading this.
I can watch old movies anytime. I don't care for most new movies, regardless of the technology and special effects of today.
The special effects are required to cover for a weak plot and screenplay.
cretin beat 👏🏼🙋♀️ DITTO!

@@doreenhocks7010 Looks like my name ...but I can't be sure. I checked out your channel content. Some genius-type material in there. I met someone years ago whose interests and intelligence could be represented by your channel choices. Of course I subscribed.
Yes, I agree with you fully!
Thanks for this wonderful film. Great story, script, acting and exceptional cinematography. Amazing camera work and noir lighting. A treat all the way.
Comment ne pas aimer ? It is well constructed, well played, efficient without over dramatisation...you enjoy it as you would enjoy a good book. Bravo !
Frightening how someone can innocently look guilty and be convicted! I had a feeling he wasn’t deaf🥰
I too had the feeling this passenger wasn't deaf. In these old movies there are generally one if not two identifiers that if scene can tell the viewer the out come of a movie. You have a keen eye for these as I do. This was a very good movie and I enjoy the classics as I feel you do as well.
Great and thank you for uploading. It's Ronald Neame's first film and unbelievably well crafted. Always a delight for me to discover a wonderful old British film of 40s and 50s and this one which I knew nothing about really was a surprise, especially after the wife takes it upon herself to solve the mystery of the victim's past and goes to scottland to face the real killer in a great suspenseful sequence in the country school, which is easily equal to the best of Hitchcock. By the way I also learned that Winston Graham, the writer of the original story, is also the writer of Marnie which became a Hitchcock film. And the train scene was excellent too.
Setsuko Ozu Nice to read you, Hara Setsuko Ozu. Love those two too.
@@mckavitt I'm currently stuck in the late 1940s finding and enjoying as many of those beautiful black and white British films as possible. This was exceptional. One of my favourite Marius Goring performances is as Count Bravano in 'The Barefoot Contessa' - please watch it if you haven't and if you're a Goring fan!
well another old movie i havent seen .good one..love those old trains , i remember thhem ,i like them better .than the new ones . i can still smell the muscky old seats . thanks for the upload.
A delciously creepy performance by Marius Goring, especially in the part where Greta Gynt is playing the organ at the school. Love it, thank you.
This was a BLOODY GOOD film, excellent stars in it , believable script .....excellent!
rubberdc Bloody good❤️💁🏼♀️
I absolutely agree with you 100%!!
Wow, what a gem! Very like a Hitchcock film. Kept me on the edge of my chair. Wow, again!
What a thrill !!!
Finally, some GOOD sound on one of these old Brit films. Looks like a rather good view.
Acting in this movie is what today's movies can only wish they could duplicate
YES INDEED.
TODAY'S MOVIE'S HAVE NOTHING ON THE GOOD OLD BE MOVIES.
CORRECTION:
Have nothing on the good old black & white movies.
YES INDEED.
Tell that to brilliant actors like Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington who routinely do great performances ffs.
This is a great film.edge of the seat stuff. Thanks for the upload
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you!
Thriller all the way through. I loved it.
Very good movie. You can certainly see why Greta Gynt was a big star in England. Fine music by the great composer William Alwyn.
She wasn't a household name just well known to the cinema going British public.
Loved this, thank you! 👏👏💜
Well constructed, faultless plot, well written....
Thank god for the kid remembering that tune!
Loved it, thanks very much .
Excellent film and brilliant edition! Had Hitchcock formula in the editing.
Excellent Movie!!! Bravo! Bravo! Standing Ovation!!!!! Thank You for sharing this great movie.
A really lovely film! Thank you for uploading x
Super film.
Thankyou for posting.
Xx
Thanks for sharing...could have been a Hitchcock. ;-)
37:39 exquisite music going from piano score to orchestrated! Lovely!
Thank you for posting, Exciting, Suspense, keeping one enthralled through out the lfilm.. I said earlier this afternoon, I don't think I will be able to sit through most of the nonsense churned out since the 70s
Good film!! Good year, too!! Thank you for posting and sharing!!
Jolly good film; beautifully paced and acted. Thanks the upload!
THE MESSAGE IN THIS MOVIE IS THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE SHOULD SHUT UP AND NOT PUSH THEIR LUCK WHEN CONFRONTING
CERTAIN SITUATIONS !
That was excellent. Thank you.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 huge thank you for uploading this gripping movie!!! More please.
Excellent film! Thank you!
Excellent film, thank you. Fine performances especially the two leads, but also Marius Goring. He always makes a good villain.
TY for the upload, an excellent film :-)
Am 43 now and have been a fan for old classics since i was 30
Film Noir has always been a great genre! Enjoyed it very much! Thank you!
A BRILLIANT MOVIE (apart from the horrendous opera song!).
So much like a Hitchcock thriller!
An excellent suspense film.. Wonderful and very effective. Greeat actors. Thank you for posting it.
Excellent! Thank You!
Watch out for the camerawork and editing......and lighting....quite brilliant. Rosalie Crutchley was striking in this her first screen role; she would go on to have a long acting life for fifty years.
Great. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks for uploading it .
I thoroughly enjoyed that, Marius Goring was quite scary, but wonderful. My favourite character of his was the French fop in ‘ A matter of life and death ‘ . Thanks so much for posting this 😊
Yes marius was amazing so much so I showed my wife two different roles he played and she didn't believe it was the same actor _ goring lived in France for a while so he did have an advantage in the role, nevertheless his performance was magnifique
Excellent old Film. Recommended viewing.
Story line, so-so.
But the acting, second to none.
The Prosecuting Counsel an absolute gem.
The leading lady! Oh, the leading lady! She'll lead any man anywhere.
If the Greeks had ever laid eyes on such a specimen, they would have modelled their statues on her.
Art would have most definitely imitated life.
Excellent! Thank you
I downloaded this gem Thank you
This is always such an pleasurably engaging murder suspense to watch..... So very well scripted!!! 👌
Thanks MansaiSstuff for the upload.......
The beautiful Mrs Talbot was the Norwegian born actress Greta Gynt. The paper boy on the railway station, Gerald Campion was to make his name later in the TV series Billy Bunter.
GOOD STUFF. THANKS UPLOADER!!!!!!!!
Brilliant .and thankyou for it.
A great film thanks for the upload .Well done
LOVED THIS MOVIE, FROM THE BEGINNING I WAS TENSED AND LATER IN SUSPENCE, BUT NEVER SUSPECTED THE END, SO GOOD.
I agree with the person who commented that it starts slow, also without the stylistic flair it has later, as if directed by 2 different people. But the pace and direction get better so that the last third is very Hitchcockian. The lighting, frame composition, editing all excellent in exploiting fear and suspense.
If only they still knew how to make movies this way, using these techniques instead of special effects or silly shaky camera filming to try to make movies interesting. Actually I think they do know these techniques are better, but it requires real skill and talent so they take the easy way.
Sweet film! Hitchcock written all over it. Obvious influences. And really well done, original.
I had the exact same impression as Mike. The way the level of suspense was maintained was very much Hitchcock ... it felt like Hitchcock all the way through.
@@donngreg2541 The Director here deserves a name-check here RONALD NEAME. Would go on to direct the Poseidon Adventure decades later!
Very good . Thanks x
10:24 : "You imagine far more than you see."
A perfect point-of-mention, to convey to a jealous wife whose fears are completely unfounded.
Yeah but Elizabeth was definitely worth being jealous pieces over
That was a pretty good movie..Thanks
3 weeks? fast! Good movie thank you.
So good - don't have words to describe the difference in society from then to now - I ask every day - God what have they done to us?
Enjoyed this thoroughly- thank u
What a great old movie!
This is a great movie. Thanks for putting it on here!
We had such a wealth of actors in those days in Britain. It wasn’t all based around a “star”.
Good movie. The story was strung together well.
Really enjoyed that thankyou
excellent film!!! Thank you for this
more more love it love it
had me till the end! why can't they make new ones like this?
What a jewel. Glad Monica ditched that criminal.
Terrific film! Thank you.
Well done mystery.
Nice twist at the end.
Thanks.
A great movie.. What a shame you only have 3. Thanks.
Good old Bungey! .... Great film .. Thank you.
A riveting thriller! Excellent acting. Thanks.
