So much intense emotion packed into just over one hour....a great little film noir ....The acting was superb , especially from the Mother ....Lawrence Tierney was Scott Brady's brother , and apparently no angel in real life ....highly recommend this little gem .
"You took you papa's name, and you burned a number in his heart...199436! All the time you were yelling about the smell from the city dump...You are the smell... You are the stink!! What great lines these old film noirs have!
Love Film Noir. ! Wonder if not just the films I fell asleep to at the "Drive in " then after play in the playground..the snack bar and the cartoons and then a bit of noir and then simple sleep of a small child. All seems so familiar. Remember the cracking speakers and the anti mosquito coils ? Well...now I am all grown up (?) and a senior. citizen..with time to watch all these films. I still fall asleep at times ! But always go back and watch what I missed. Then there is the wallpaper, furniture , curtains, fashions, cars and five and dimes etc. Makes me smile. Guess I am blessed to have such good memories.
"i didn't have a chance to clean the dirt under my fingernails " "nails do get dirty, don't they johnny?" "yes vince, but this kind of dirt you can wash off" (cue camera zoom) the burns in this film are amazing . didn't know film noir had a sense of humor
AnnaJuist - I think it’s Deranged Trump Syndrome. I’ve seen people to get very offended when they are called LIAR. Some will beat the crap of you if you call them liar. But for Trump, it is OK to be called a LIAR. 17,000 lies since he took office. The biggest of all is when he said, I DON’T KNOW LEV PARNAS. I NEVER MET HIM. So you see? Is Trump who needs a doctor.
In the 1990's it was my late wife's primary job to record classic movies (crime drama's) off of TCM... I enjoy Lawrence Tierney, Stephen McNally, and Charles McGraw anytime I want these days.
If mom would have kept her big mouth shut when he was up for parole many people would still be alive. She knew he was evil but wanted him out anyway. Moms are blind to kid's evil but it costs others.
ROFL ! I love these thinly veiled PSA movies. You can tell in the first four minutes because they bring out all the cliches: The montage of juvenile offenders, the preachy monologue from the authority figure, and the distraught mother who can't figure out what went wrong with his trouble making son.
* Wow! For an old movie, this had a lot of drama.....this guy was a real jerk! I thought it was a very focused and poignant touch that the directors had the focus on his mother at the end, dying on her bed, and telling him how it was "too late", and how he "should have cried a long time ago"....So true. And then of course where it all ended....also a great focused way of letting moviegoers at that time know loud and clear...."Crime doesn't pay"....and that it will break your mother's heart. Very great moral. Thanks for sharing :)
This is one excellent Film Noir movie. I always liked Lawrence Tierney's acting every since seeing him in Dillinger 1945. This film had great Acting, Cast, Story, Director and music score by Darrell Calker. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the upload.
Solid noir from the golden age. Those 'poverty row' studios could produce a one hour feature on a shoe string that $100 million+ productions in our time can't match for quality.
If there was an Academy Award for "Best Monologue in a Motion Picture," then Lisa Golm could've been nominated for it, for the scene when she lectures her hoodlum son about why "It's too late, Vincent."
You're absolutely right. You could say the ending was cliche, but the force of her delivery makes you feel her rage at being unable to control her son's out of control nature. What a way to die. Don't forget the beginning of the movie, where she passionately pleads with the parole board into releasing him to her.
What was Vincent supposed to do ? Let people step all over him for the rest of his life ? He was just trying to get what was coming to him. And he got it,
A shout out to everyone out there in la la land.i love 40s and fifties noir.when I see vivian Leigh joan bennet and hedy lamar I swear they could have come from the same family. All gorgeous and beautiful like sisters.
The movie shows that the character of a person shows during youth and the potentialities of later life. Some can be changed by proper parenting, the others are just uncontrollable.
Lawrence Tierney played Elaines' dad in one of the funniest episodes of Seinfeld. That scene in the restaurant with Jerry and George (when Jerry turns his swede jacket inside out) still makes me laugh. I have it recorded to see many more years
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Enjoyed viewing the cars/trucks/service stations/store front windows/indoor lighting/police scooters of that era-!!!🤗. Realistically portrayed citizens/parolees/law enforcement officials.. Seems to be no honestly amongst those cut throat thieves😈-???🤔. I venture to guess that all the players are currently taking their eternal walk down " Hollywood Boulevard "- ???🤔.
Great movie, and absolutely truth. Some are ungrateful for the gifts we're given. They want more, w/o working for it, look at others as a means to an end.
+Kevin Florio Yes, he was "quite the heel" in this film :) Thanks for the info about the other film....will look it up right now...:) I hope they have it on RUclips. :)
Well written, true to life,believable.... not everyone gets what they deserve in life...his hard working honest brother, the mom especially....but that hoodlum who was given a decent job at the family service station, who got out early on parole thanks to his loving mom's efforts, the woman who loved him from the bank threw it all away because he was an immoral scumbag who used people ! He was selfish. One could argue that the hoodlum got exactly what he deserved. You live a violent life...you often die a violent death as the Bible so states.
Matthew 26:52 King James Version (KJV) 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Years later, Lawrence Tierney played Elaine's father on Seinfeld. George & Jerry were terrified by him in the episode.Off camera, Seinfeld actually caught him stealing a knife (prop from the set).He was never invited back to play a projected recurring role as originally planned.The episode is called ' The Jacket".
Wow, that scene between Mamma and Vincent was really powerful, although Mamma dying after that great scene seemed a bit contrived. Also, I thought it was going end with Vincent going to the electric chair.
DAMN! That was a really good movie and so true to life, I mean very true to the nature of persons. The robbery was planned really good so I was real sorry it failed. This was a Very well written and acted movie. At the end Vincent's mother laid it on him so heavy, it was like being buried alive, she really read him, lots of guilt for him to take with him, that he truly earned. Vincent brought a whole lot of pain to the lives of his innocent family.
this was a real good flick,a good gangster movie is hard to find these days.i liked Christy standing her ground for her equal share,damn right if she had skin in the caper she should get paid.these noirs films are grrreat!because they don't have to be edited and censored to trash.
I love Lawrence Tierney. Unlike the other noir men, he was a totally unredeemable id animal. You can see why he didn't have a longer career, but damn does he heat up this picture. If anyone has his other films, pleeeeeeeease post them.
Longer career!?! He starred in Quentin Tarentino's "Reservoir Dogs"! If you haven't seen that film you are neither a movie buff nor a film noir buff! I also remember him as a blackmailing PI in Charles Bronson's "Murphy's Law" where he has the completely wrong impression of who the Carrie Snodgrass character is. "Open your mouth and say Aah". Didn't realize he was Scott Brady's brother, though in retrospect the resemblence is obvious. The other Tierney here must be a third acting brother.
@@brianmccarthy5557 There were loooooooong stretches in between his films, my Brian. I was referring to his career as a leading man. At one point he was being positioned as the next big "tough" actor, another James Cagney. But he drank and beat up people a lot.
+Warren Denholm True... Now they go over 200k miles before they are ready for the scrapyard, They (at least my 2014 Challenger) will very safely do 75 on the freeway while getting 28+ mpg, have reliable tires, adjustable seats, AC, etc. There is a certain aesthetic to the oldies but I'll take my Pilot or Challenger over one anyday. :)
@@jonericus In those days GM sold Buicks knowing they had faulty master cylinder seals that failed the brakes just when one needed them the most--and kept it a secret.
Gee Whillikers! It looks like Mr. Tierney was not such a good seed in real life. From Wikipedia: Tierney's numerous arrests for being drunk and disorderly and jail terms for assault of civilians and lawmen alike took a toll on his career.[1] He was an admitted alcoholic who went sober in 1982 after having a mild stroke, once observing he "threw away about seven careers through drink."[3] In just seven years between 1944 and 1951 Tierney was arrested a dozen times for brawling, frequently for drunkenness.[7] His legal troubles included a 90-day sentence for breaking a college student's jaw.[8] At the time of a 1958 arrest for fighting two policemen outside a Manhattan bar the New York Times reported he had been arrested six times in California and five in New York on similar charges.[9] In 1973 he was stabbed in a bar fight on the West Side of Manhattan.[10] In June 1975, Tierney was questioned by New York City police in connection with the apparent suicide of a 24-year old woman who had jumped from the window of her apartment. Tierney told police he'd come to visit the woman, "had just gotten there, and she just went out the window".[3]
I did some reading about Mr. Tierney after I read you comment and all I can say is WOW. Was not expecting that he was so menacing in life, a real tyrant. I'm shocked that he didn't get killed or get prison for life. He lived to be 83, and his personality never mellowed with age.
Tierney didn't make a lot of films, but the ones he made were memorable. he was an outstanding actor, but an alcoholic. He made enemies with too many power figures. He had quite a temper. Eventually, no producer would go near him. And so, a promising career ended.
54:03 Hindsight is 20/20. Mothers, learn from her mistakes with her son, the criminal. It's universal. The movie is better than the opening shot in the car.
I didn't know Lawrence Tierney was a complete menace to society in life. This is his real brother in this movie - Edward Tierney. He bailed Larry out of jail on one occasion of the many, many times he was arrested. Tierney was a bad ass until the day he died.
Good old movie, great acting. Even though the moral of the story seems to be, some people really suck and they can only get worse until they drag everyone to hell with them. I wish there had been a deeper and less predictable plot
For Seinfeld fans, this is the actor (Lawrence Tierney) who played Elaine's father in The Jacket episode... elephant in the room comment...you rob an armored car without masks? really? you are a convict on parole and no mask?
Momma gets cold there at the end🍿🥤🍿🍿 "You want me to go the electric chair for you???? 🍿🥤Then compared him to the city dump...😢💦😄😄😄😄😄😄 "Now you cry" Made his brothers girl jump off the roof, That was mean... Then he gets gunned down by the law at the city dump. This film is a tragedy... I give it two stars... ⭐⭐ The acting was good... especially the drama at the end . 🍿🥤. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Thank you for uploading this film. While it is firmly entrenched in Hollywood's "B" status, it is also well ptoduced and entertaining. Some of the acting isn't bad, either.

In just seven years between 1944 and 1951 Tierney was arrested a dozen times for brawling, frequently for drunkenness.[7] His legal troubles included a 90-day sentence for breaking a college student's jaw.[8] At the time of a 1958 arrest for fighting two policemen outside a Manhattan bar the New York Times reported he had been arrested six times in California and five in New York on similar charges.[9] In 1973 he was stabbed in a bar fight on the West Side of Manhattan.[10]

Tierney didn't make a lot of films, but the ones he made were memorable. he was an outstanding actor, but an alcoholic. He made enemies with too many power figures. He had quite a temper. Eventually, no producer would go near him. And so, a promising career ended.
54:03 Hindsight is 20/20. Mothers, learn from her mistakes with her son, the criminal. It's universal.
The movie is better than the opening shot in the car.
The women who play the mothers in this old films look more like grandmothers to me.
Big fan of Allene Roberts. She was great in “The Red House” which is also available on this channel.
Man, the mother was something. The real deal.
he was a poor criminal. he always got caught.
the difference between godly sorrow of repentance and then sorrow of just getting caught.
ouch! These were the stories my grandfather use to tell me about his life being raised in the ghettos of Brooklyn back in the twenties. Tuff times.
I didn't know Lawrence Tierney was a complete menace to society in life. This is his real brother in this movie - Edward Tierney. He bailed Larry out of jail on one occasion of the many, many times he was arrested.
Tierney was a bad ass until the day he died.
He was also Elaine's father in a particularly hilarious episode of "Seinfeld."
@@davidmelton7279 He's also the real life brother of actor Scott Brady. He looks a lot like him here.
Good old movie, great acting. Even though the moral of the story seems to be, some people really suck and they can only get worse until they drag everyone to hell with them. I wish there had been a deeper and less predictable plot
For Seinfeld fans, this is the actor (Lawrence Tierney) who played Elaine's father in The Jacket episode... elephant in the room comment...you rob an armored car without masks? really? you are a convict on parole and no mask?
Momma gets cold there at the end🍿🥤🍿🍿
"You want me to go the electric chair for you????
🍿🥤Then compared him to the city dump...😢💦😄😄😄😄😄😄
"Now you cry"
Made his brothers girl jump off the roof,
That was mean...
Then he gets gunned down by the law at the city dump.
This film is a tragedy...
I give it two stars...
⭐⭐
The acting was good... especially the drama at the end .
🍿🥤.
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Thank you for uploading this film. While it is firmly entrenched in Hollywood's "B" status, it is also well ptoduced and entertaining. Some of the acting isn't bad, either.
Papa kept telling him to keep the window closed, to keep out the smell from the city dump. He didnt listen and this is what happened.
lmao but even with the windows closed it still smelled
Great film!
Fourreal two 👍👍up
Thanx for the movie!
I like the way the guy wears a shirt and tie when changing a tire and pumping gas, makes the movie more realistic.
