This brings back memories of how people lived and behaved when I was young- when decency wasn't considered to be a dirty word. Good story, well acted- TY!
TY, I've always liked Barbara Britton. Very beautiful and a nice personality. I agree with you about today's societie's lack of appreciation of moral decency. And many of post babyboomer generations are not sure what the word decency means. Even many babyboomers have discarded what they have been taught as children about basic moral principles that come from the Bible.❤
I wish it were like that today. I'm so glad my parents brought me up on these films (only black and white's and old cartoons). This is all I watch and what I plan to play for my future children. Things weren't perfect, nothing is, but they were so much better then. I wish we could go back❤
I couldn’t figure out who “dunnit “… completely stumped! Great movie, great faces, great acting! Thank you! I was totally entertained! There’s so much to be said for how things used to be. Quality over quantity, intrigue and mystery, morales and manners! Cable TV doesn’t hold a candle to these oldies. Good thing we don’t have smell-a-vision, smoky cigarette breath…gag
Can't ppl just enjoy movies without making them into a non-existent comparison - has no one in these streams read HISTORY books? No, it's a dumbed down America
Okay, this is a good movie! This one has a great story line, film quality is top notch, it's one of those plot thickens kind of movies, good directing, great acting. A true Gem. A must watch.
The great Doro Merande played the part of the maid. She made a career of playing supporting roles like this. Always small but memorable..! She was often mistaken for Margaret Hamilton..?!! Sadly she passed away in 1975 aged 83. Fondly remembered..🙏🙏
A great movie n great cast I love eating these classical old movies thanks to my late mother who introduced me to these movies at an early age 😀 😊 😉 😄 ☺️
When you say “how great America” was back in the day but it wasn’t so great for all segments 😢 nonetheless I try to ignore that and just enjoy the movie. I’ve loved these since early 60s 😊
Amazing to see the storyline. When Dennis initially arrives at the police station and William Bending makes a comment about Dennis smoking too much, you can see through the movie that he was constantly chain smoking.....Dennis died from lung cancer in 1968, age 60...
AMEN!! Loved him in "Kill the umpire" and in the TV show "The life of Riley". Very good at picking roles that he was made for. I have never seen a bad movie with William Bendix in it. One of the best!
Love this movie. Interesting re the sheriff telling the insurance agent he smoked too much. Dennis died from lung cancer at the age of 60. He was in fact a heavy smoker as were many actors of this era. Anyway, this is my third time watching.
My first exposure to William Bendix was way back in the early 50's. When the whole population had to have a TV. 'The Life of Riley.' I Have always liked him as an actor. Wouldn't mind watching 'Two Call Johnson.' Once more.
Nice little movie with my mother's idea of the prettiest actress - Barbara Britton. They never really explained why the dead man was as disliked as 'Ole Man Potter' in It's A Wonderful Life. He didn't want his niece to marry a man he didn't think good enough and that was it. Altho there was a banker who made loans, he loaned money to the sheriff - nothing said on repayment pressure. But the killer had had enough and popped him. Maybe he kicked puppies.
Great pipe smoking movie! Sharing with the YTPC!! (RUclips pipe community) Great pipe spotting movie!! Identifing brands and shapes!! Men in suits and ties and hats! No bums!! No dirty tee shirts, sweat pants worn by big boompa straoompas!!
There was a big fat bully in a little town in Missouri many years ago. He was shot down by several, maybe most of the menfolk of the town. To my recollection no one was ever charged for the murder.
I love the Old Films , specifically Black and White Genre. They are very interesting and I learn about culture, clothing, furniture styles, politics, philosophical views, values, different people and their experiences, speech and language patterns, many locations, local scenic architecture and customs, etc.. There are plenty of murders, intrigue, espionage, lying, romantic interludes, suspense, jealousy, curiosity and so much more. Thank you. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I JUST LOVE THE DEEP DIRTY SECRETS OF A FAMILY LIFE! MOST OF US HAVE LARGE FAMILIES. MOTHER, FATHER, SON , DAUGHTER OR TWO DAUGHTERS OR TWO SONS. AND ONE OF THEIR CHILDREN IS ONE WHO IS SO CLOSE TO THE FATHER! AND BY BEING CLOSE HE OR SHE CAN"T LET FATHER GO TO JAIL! NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES OR DID!
Art Baker had a TV program for ages and was on so many other radio/TV shows - I suppose his voice was liked. But I remember he played a baddie (a politician) in The Farmer's Daughter movie - really surprised me.

@@Ourownfireside I go back by watching these old movies. Call it Escapism if you like- it keeps me happy & sane.
Barbara Britton had that 'wow' factor going for her. Very beautiful.
I love it, and so True Perfect

THE LATE DENNIS O'KEEFE WAS A HAND SOME MAN. AND A GREAT ACTOR. This A GOOD MOVIE!
😊+
These movies not made anymore, so glad we can still see them
Can't ppl just enjoy movies without making them into a non-existent comparison - has no one in these streams read HISTORY books? No, it's a dumbed down America
William Bendix stands out in this role. An unrated actor we today would like to see more of these kind of roles with him playing.
Thanks for providing a synopsis!
Love a good ending, and it wasn't forced. Well written. Well acted. Good thinker film.
I like that a good thinker film
These old movies are so much better than this modern crap
100 % correct.
Yes!
I love seeing the clothes, the cars and the decor of the past.
You get!
Agreed!!!
Okay, this is a good movie! This one has a great story line, film quality is top notch, it's one of those plot thickens kind of movies, good directing, great acting. A true Gem. A must watch.
So sad. And so wonderful.
Great to not have to be caught off guard by ugly violence or anything. And still have a wonderful story line.
Barbara Britton was extremely pretty. And this is a good movie.
Indubidubly 🙂
Quite gorgeous.
She became Revlon spokesperson on TV and with Richard Denning starred in Mr. And Mrs. North in early fifties detective series.
"Merry Christmas"
I'll always love those words!
Great movie thanks for uploading 💚
The great Doro Merande played the part of the maid. She made a career of playing supporting roles like this. Always small but memorable..!
She was often mistaken for Margaret Hamilton..?!! Sadly she passed away in 1975 aged 83. Fondly remembered..🙏🙏
Dennis O'Keefe is aways good, Love these movies
This is a nice unexpected combination of mystery, comedy and romance. The small town boy makes good and returns to a small town hook was a plus.
Hilda was doing her part for humanity..& her peeps.
A great movie n great cast I love eating these classical old movies thanks to my late mother who introduced me to these movies at an early age 😀 😊 😉 😄 ☺️
Some of these old movies remind me of how great America was back in the used to be, before the fools tock over.
When you say “how great America” was back in the day but it wasn’t so great for all segments 😢 nonetheless I try to ignore that and just enjoy the movie. I’ve loved these since early 60s 😊
compared to now, America was great back in the day.
@@terryhansen5928 great for only a small segment of the population
@@adamnoman4658 make it plural-people of color
People could spell back then too 😂 😂 😂
When movies made SENSE n people could learn a thing or 2 . Thank you
What a Gem the cast were fantastic the plot was excellent the leading lady was a real Peach thank you for this priceless movie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Indubidubly 🙂
Great movie. Lots of twists and turns. Great ending 👏. Thanx for sharing.
Outstanding movie! Well worth watching! I have watched it several times.
pretty good film for 75 years old.. especially liked her reflection while replacing the Luger.
May I be so bold as to say Barbara Britton is, shall we say, FETCHING. 🙂
She looks like a big, broad smile is just below the surface ready to burst out Truly lovely.
Whoah there, let's keep it clean pal.
Very suspenseful, mysterious, great movie. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the upload.
Amazing to see the storyline. When Dennis initially arrives at the police station and William Bending makes a comment about Dennis smoking too much, you can see through the movie that he was constantly chain smoking.....Dennis died from lung cancer in 1968, age 60...
These are wat you call real movies wholesome and meaningful, HEARTFELT ❤
I watched this movie for the first time last week. Excellent movie.
Don’t listen to the negatives. This is a great movie
Ending is Vomit.
Well this is a great watch. Thanks for the upload 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for this. First I'd seen or known of it, although I'm a longtime fan of Bendix and O'Keefe.
Great restoration of any. High quality good movie.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful old classic Gem . 😊
Wm Bendix. Very good actor
Yes! And can play the creep, the dangerous villain, the loving uncle-type and the common man with equal skill. Depraved or divine.
AMEN!! Loved him in "Kill the umpire" and in the TV show "The life of Riley". Very good at picking roles that he was made for. I have never seen a bad movie with William Bendix in it. One of the best!
@@bobroth1951 Was he also in, "something Hongkong,, of something ? He was a good cop,,,,,
Yes, I agree !😊
When I watched him talk, it was amazing how much he resembles Jay Leno.
Enjoyed the film!!
Indubidubly 🙂
Film and sound quality are great. Well written fine film. Enjoying it very much.
Love this movie. Interesting re the sheriff telling the insurance agent he smoked too much. Dennis died from lung cancer at the age of 60. He was in fact a heavy smoker as were many actors of this era. Anyway, this is my third time watching.
My 5th time watching. They sure don't make like this one anymore. Fine movie to enjoy
Amei o filme, realmente não se faz mais filmes assim!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
None of three main stars lived past 60.
Sorry but Dennis who? They didn't start with credits
@@minoosethna4615 Dennis O'Keefe
1:11 the way the bus driver grins throughout relaying the news of the suicide ... times were different back then.
This was great! Thank you
Thank you for a wonderful movie love the ending❤
Excellent film thanks. 👍
Thank you so much .
Who would have thunk it would end up being a heartwarming Christmas movie😊❤
I must have seen the beautiful Barbara Britton a thousand times during her Revlon commercial days during the '50's and '60's.
Good movie. Reminds me of a case where a whole town took care of a bully and protected the killer.
Always liked Dennis OKeefe. He could do drama and comedy as well. He was very handsome too.
What a great movie!!
My first exposure to William Bendix was way back in the early 50's. When the whole population had to have a TV. 'The Life of Riley.' I Have always liked him as an actor. Wouldn't mind watching 'Two Call Johnson.' Once more.
Sharp script . Nice one liners. Good plot........what more do we need..??
Dennis O’Keefe and William Bendix in a Noir? Count me in!
Great movie !! Thanks for posting .
Well done 👍. Great twists.
Well written. Well acted.
Another great movie, thank you
The movie was great! Thank you.
Great film. Held my attention right to the end. Bendix was a great actor really held the screen.
Quite enjoyable. Thanks.

Very good movie! Thanks. Love Dennis Okeefe! But the credits are missing.
Great movie I really enjoyed it.
Good movie.
I have watched this movie several times..
Very gripping...

Ken Rex McElroy, in Skidmore, Missouri. Sixty minutes did a report about it. It was all over the news in 1981.
there was a book written about the killing too.
@@jeanesingsjazz And the great Brian Dennehy played him in the 1991 made-for-tv movie, In Broad Daylight. It's pretty good.
Can't believe Donovan bought that little story at the end.
So Dr Gerrow didn't do it right? It was the dad?
@@davidday6736 No, it was the saintly left-handed doc.

Good old movie, it's perfect watch for January 1st.
Lovely movie, great acting….well….just great!
I guess I love times when they didn’t have the ‘modern twist’
we live with today.
This is so good thank you.❤❤❤
Another Great Christmas Flick 🎄🎅
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great movie.
Present movies are irritating me to watch. Tq for this one🎉

Very good movie ! Have not seen much of O'keefe ( Alan Ladd look alike) enjoyed his role Bendix was fantastic as usual & Barbara , a doll as always !
Which one , or who , played the Sheriff ? He was really good .
This was such a a great movie
Great film thanks for uploading
These old goodies...no silly computer graphics..black and white...cast had to rely on their acting abilities alone...fantastic movie
Such a good movie!
Good movie. Thanks
Great movie
A GREAT movie!
Good movie thank you
1.13 and I still not sure who done it.
An excellent movie.
Amei!!! Amo ver as cidades do interior dos EUA, ainda mais antigamente.
Barbara Britton was such a fox, loved her also in Mr and Mrs North
I’m 20 minutes in and the sheriff and that whole town could have tried just a little bit not to come off as if they were guilty 😂
Frank was singer Russell Arms, who was one of the singers on the 1950s TV Show, "Your Hit Parade".
Be Happy Go Lucky.
You killed the ending.
hello great movie another classic.cheers
For sure, theye all I watch.
VERY enjoyable........
The dude at the station telling her about a suicide while smiling widely.
I noticed that too. He was tickled pink.
Quite a twisted little plot, LOL. Dennis O'Keefe (who played Sam) got a writing credit for it.
I JUST LOVE THE DEEP DIRTY SECRETS OF A FAMILY LIFE! MOST OF US HAVE LARGE FAMILIES. MOTHER, FATHER, SON , DAUGHTER OR TWO DAUGHTERS OR TWO SONS. AND ONE OF THEIR CHILDREN IS ONE WHO IS SO CLOSE TO THE FATHER! AND BY BEING CLOSE HE OR SHE CAN"T LET FATHER GO TO JAIL! NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES OR DID!
The Sherrif was the Star of 1950s tv's Life of Riley. Wm Bendix. I used to watch as a kid.
Art Baker had a TV program for ages and was on so many other radio/TV shows - I suppose his voice was liked. But I remember he played a baddie (a politician) in The Farmer's Daughter movie - really surprised me.
Ovie!! ❤
Também amo esses, filmes antigos, não achei tradução em português mas assisto assim mesmo.
The ending 👍
These old movies have all kinna actoresses without a stake in anything but their kuck to have lived when they did.
