It is nice to actually hear a conversation from the actors without all the profanity we see today. Thank you. My phone screen time is way up and I love it❤.
Yes...profanity, scatological humor and sex double entendres! AMAZING!
Those days were a “precursor” to what we see today.
These movies are all class literally
The women are immaculate in their attire not to mention their acting capacity
The men are of the same qualities
Makes for a great movie
These older movies are spectacular - much, much better than anything today !!!! Thank you.
I agree 100%.
Yes
I agree too!
how is this movie better when there is murder in the first minute of the movie
@ DS. The early action draws people in.
*EXCELLENT MOVIE !!! They don't make them like this anymore.*
What a surprise to see Rock Hudson!
This is from a time when Hollywood knew how to make movies worth watching. Thank you for posting.
This is when Hollywood knew they couldn't produce no garbage movies like today because we wouldn't take it LOL just being funny with you
Lol huh
Great William Castle movie! And wonderful to see Julie London 22 years before "Emergency", and Rock before he made it BIG!!!
Wish they could make movies like this now a days. Best thing about utube is finding ones like this.
LOVE the dance scene, he's a wonderful dancer!
He looked like he really enjoyed the dancing 😊
Yes, the Dance scene was the greatest and the Fat man love of Food!!! Janice Harley
@Jannetlynn-Lane Thank you very much for the information. Janice Harley
Just saw the credits. Jayne Meadows played the dentist's assistant. Jayne Meadows was born in Wuhan China of all places. She married Steve Allen and had one child. Her sister was Audrey Meadows who was famous for The Honeymooners.
Thankyou
No its her sister-Audrey who placed Alice Kramden on Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners
Love the info we can glean! Thank you. Good film 👍
Good ole stuff! 👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

The Fat Man is where I discovered William Castle. I'm going to watch it again, great stuff.
The Fat man radio program was one of my favorite radio programs growing up in the 1940's along with Intersanctum, The Mysterious Traveller, Suspense, Sherlock Holmes, The Shadow, Nick Carter, Gangbusters, This is the FBI and Mr. District Attorney. That was my entertainment during the War Years until my parents bought a TV in 1950.
@james colvin I am so glad that my comments brought back old memories of your father talkin about radio programs that he liked too. I am 85 years old and still watching old movies and listening to old-time radio shows on RUclips. It looks like I'm making a full circle liking the things I did when I was young and doing the same in my old age. God bless you and family.
XM Radio Classics (148) introduced me to that series. It's my favorite channel.
Yes the greatness of radio where you collude with the program to create your own personal version and vision. Unlike movies and TV where you are purely a spectator and critic.
Couldn't have said better myself. Listened to the same shows sitting on the floor while my grandmother in her rocking chair crocheted.
Didn't you ever hear about
"THE WHISTLER ?" Did you ever listen to him, cuz if you didn't you should. He's on RUclips. Just about and like "THE SHADOW".
nothing better than an old black and white flick! good movie...
I was looking for a channel with classic mysteries of the forties. This group is excellent. I am a baby boomer born in 1951. Now I am old but still love my movies. Thanks for having them.👍🇺🇸
Loved how he danced. Best part~!~
I love watching the old 🎥
I enjoy seeing these old films, character interaction being primary. Enjoyed them on tv in my youth , my son doesn't really care for this vintage. He likes action films many with no real stories. Thanks so much for sharing
Totally was surprised that it was extremely entertaining. I really loved everything about it from production values, acting, and a tight storyline. Many thanks for posting!!
It very much reminded me of the Cannon TV series. I love seeing Old Los Angeles. Interesting seeing Jane Meadows in a part where she says so little, as she was very talkative in real life. Castle was awesome. Tons of character actors. Someone said the story was 'very tight' and that describes it to a T. Thanks for posting it.
Seeing this movie for the first time. 12 minutes into it i am hooked.
LOVE OLD MOVIES. So original, no foul language, good actors, good writing, just something nice for a change. Nero Wolfe never left his home except for extreme reasons. He used Archie for his leg work. The books & movies were good.
Love the young Rock Hudson as Roy!
Old movies are simply the best
I assume you are a Woman, I find it strange that you didn't find "The Fatman" calling Jane Meadows "Sweetheart" all the time, even though he knew her name, just a little demeaning and illmannered for a Woman he had just met?
They treated women with very little respect in those days and it shows in this movie....but they didn't say "bum" and that is what you took from it?
You are much better off living today than back then.......but nostalgic memories can play tricks on us
The humor cracks me up!
@@georgemoore7186 No tricks are being played here. It's just a movie. He was calling her "Sweetheart" because she's a woman. It's an acting role.
I am hooked. Just saw the credits. Look at those actors. Rock Hudson and Julie London. Love the old movies. I one saw Lee Marvin do his best acting ever on a Dragnet episode. He was so young that he had brown hair!!
I thought that was Julie.... WHAT a beauty! And RH was handsome too!
JAYNE MEADOWS...
Was this movie one of Rocks Hudson's first appearances? He was so young, and they use this REAL NAME in the Character "ROY" that he played.
These old black and white mysteries are so good. Much better than what Hollywood calls entertainment these days.
Great find, looking forward to more from you! Hope you get lotsa likes , +. I LOVE that you didn't cram any commercials down our throats!!!
Yes, Great 👌fine. No commercials Janice Harley
Yes, thank you ever so much for not abusing us with sick, corporate overbearing greed. You are much appreciated for your movies and kindness to us. 🍃
Thank you for showing this classic. A lot of familiar young actors in this movie.
I just tuned in and already know I'm going to LOVE this movie.
"Ya got nuthin on me Fatman!" i love it----when Hollywood was still making classic films!
Jack Smart was a very good dancer! I also got a kick out of such a young Rock Hudson.
Wow i didnt know that was him. Thnx
I thought that was Rock Hudson. This movie The Fat Man reminds me of Frank Canon the fat detective in the TV series Canon. They called him “the fat man”.
Rock was very handsome. His mansion in LA is now owned by screen writer Shane Black (I got very drunk there one night)
@@cynthiatucker2147
I was thinking the same; he even sounds like him.
Oh yes, this was a Really Great Movie and I just Loved it. Thank you RUclips, for presenting this wonderful movie for all of us to be able to see. What a Treat It Was !!!
Thanks for posting. I viewed this a year or so ago. J. Scott Smart is one of my favorites; I just wish he could have made another 200 episodes or more. Good on ya mate.
Thanks for uploading this lovely mystery!
William Castle's films had such a clean look. Black & White filming at its peak.
Can't do this look today. The high quality B&W film stock, decades of experience filming in B&W.
All gone forever.
Julie London , also an excellent singer
The way he enjoys his meal is real fun . The " Fat Man " story is a great story .
" Here is something a little extra for carrying me when you didn't know if you'd collect ." Good way of putting it .
- " Did you get me a car ." , - " A honey , boss ." You should have seen the car , horrible .
Her dancing with Rock Hudson , she looked gorgeous and that is putting it mildly . What a doll !
Jack Smart dancing , i wish i could be half as good . Fat man , but light on his feet .
This is a fun movie. Saw it in the theater back in 50's and have seen it several times since.
A pretty good mix of solid story telling & humor. An enjoyable light fair during lockdown.
what lockdown, I do what I please
@@orange70383 same, I dont know what the hell these people mean, nothing has ever been much different for me. Like theyre prisoners...wimp conformists is all they are.
Just being alert and careful why not! Keeping on the Watch ! Obedience protects people! Keeps us safe and our children and grandchildren. In this world we must pay more than the usual attention it does mean Our lives.
Uncredited in the role of Pinkie is Marvin Kaplan, who played Henry on the TV show Alice. I recognized his voice, so I did some Wikipedia research to confirm. 👍🏾
I remember he played the voice of Choo-choo in Top Cat when I was a kid.
He is listed at the beginning credits.
that , my friends, is a work of art.
I'm surprised no women have mentioned about the Fat Man calling them, "sweetheart"... Nice upload, thanks.
He also called guys sweetheart 55:42 and 1:05:40. Even his assistant used the term 1:09:01. It means nothing.
It might be nothing then but in this day and age they sure would make a big deal out of it.
@@johnnyray88 "They" who? If you think you can call the men in your office "Sweetheart" and they won't "make a big deal out of it," you're mistaken. Seriously, would you want your son's boss to call him "Sweetheart?"
Karen: Actually, I'm a woman and I like to call people sweetheart. I think more affectionate slang is good. I don't understand wanting to advocate for unnatural and sterile human interaction.
I love being called "sweetheart". How endearing and kind. :)
Excellent! The dancing was great! 😄 Too bad all of his other movies he was uncredited. Interesting that he goes from uncredited to top billing.
A blast from the past!!!! Remember all the radio programs from when I was a kid - "There he goes----------weight 240 lbs! Fortune Danger! Who is it? The Fat Man da da dadada hmmmmm" There was the star from TV "Lawman" There was the West to be won there was a job to be done --------- These movies take me back - all the classic lines, expressions, humor ----Just great!!!!!!
Great film, TY for posting. The original Cannon? LOL A young Rock Hudson, Jayne Meadows (some of you may notice the resemblance to her sister, Audrey, famous for being on the receiving end of Ralphs, "One of these days, Alice, TO THE MOON!"), Julie London, Emmett Kelly, all in all, a stellar cast in a clever mystery.
Yeah, I Love Cannon and watched it too.
Oh, and Jackie Gleadon was hilarious with his "TO THE MOON" line, that he'd give Alice. And what killed me, was that nothing ever scared or intimidated her ! She could give a good as she got ! If you know what I mean.
Rock Hudson as a 'with' and Jerome Cowan back to life after being killed off in The Maltese Falcon. Love this 'old' stuff.
Every time he says sweetheart, my skin crawls.
He says to everyone man/woman he enjoys speaking with,even head of police.
At about 44:09 the bugler sounds 'First Call' for the pending horse race. It is a most excellent rendition of a challenging call - bravo!
And thanks for posting this excellent film!
Thanks For This Lovely Movie.
Love these old movies. Thank you 😊
The 1st time I saw this, I didn't recognize the name billed 2nd to last: Marv Kaplan. But, 12 years
later, (1963), he had a small part -- playing a similar role -- in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!
Interesting on many levels. Thanks.
Thatis the 5th Avenue Motor Coach double decker bus in the back. Washington Square Park was the last stop of the M5 bus route. The company went out of business in 1962 when I was a little boy in NYC. 😊
A good clear print😉
What a great movie that was, enjoyed every minute of it! thanks!
Every time they mention Roy Clark, I think of the great musician, who was more than a country musician.
How gory, throwing that poor man out the window!! Totally understand the "oatmeal and milk is all I can handle today."😄
Thank you! Another treasure😊
The Fat Man actor looked a bit like John Candy playing Mayor Shanks in SCTV. LOL.
What a pleasant surprise to find this channel . What a gem this film is. Expected Runyon to be a Nero Wolfe clone, but this is a very different character.
Oh! You should check out the radio show - which uses this same actor. sadly only 10 episodes survived and roughly 6 are good quality but well worth it. Just make sure you get the American ones. Australia picked this up in the 50's and had their own Fat Man radio show. Along the same lines as the American one but the mysteries did suffer a bit.
Yes the Fat Man was much less cerebral than Nero
My thanks for uploading this, it's pretty good. I sent the link to my mother.
I'm glad I stumbled on this movie. BTW, Roy was rock Hudson real first name.
A very entertaining movie. Thanks
Julie London appears in this film as Pat Boyd. She was married to Jack Webb of "Dragnet" fame. She was also a series regular on "Emergency!" with her husband Bobby Troup, Robert Fuller, Randolph Mantooth, Kevin Tighe. The series was created by Jack Webb.
Really enjoyed the movie!Mr. Smart was excellent, as was the supporting cast.
Great to see Rock and Julie👍👍👍👍👍
Great movie with excellent acting.
Rock Hudson and Julie London
An all star cast
"Forget it sweetheart, this one's on the house"!
Very well done. Shifty reminds me of Joe Piscopo.
Cool, a Wm. Castle movie I haven't seen. Thanks!
Emmett Kelly (Deets) turns out is a fine, fine actor. Would have never thought!
Slick dancer.😊.An young Rock Hudson.
This was a freakin' good movie! Rock Hudson! Audrey Meadows! Julie London! I recognized John Russell from his old tv western, Lawman"!! Plot was very entertaining like those on my favorite tv murder mystery shows: Perry Mason, Murder She Wrote, Matlock & Diagnosis: Murder. The characters in this film reminded me of Nero Wolfe & Archie more so than the old Nero Wolfe movie here on youtube with Edward Arnold.
Wasn't that Jayne not Audrey?
Julie London was Mrs. Jack Webb!
Jayne Meadows, Audrey's sister.
@@Dallas_K Don't know how I made that mistake since I definitely know them apart ! (lol) Mrs Steve Allen was also in "Song of the Thin Man" and I love the part in the film when she saves Nick & Nora's son from hoods. Also love her meaty part in "Lady in the Lake", a Philip Marlowe Mystery. Thanks everybody for catching my mistake.
@@Dallas_K Yes I meant Jayne. She's in 2 of my favorite classic films. "Lady in the Lake" & "Song of the Thin Man". ( funny that this ones one's "The Fat Man") I was a big fan of her husband Steve Allen too.
Loved the comedian touches!
I can't believe that I recognized Jayne Meadows at 8:46. I don't see why I didn't sooner...LOL
Sister of Audrey..."One of these days, Alice, TO THE MOON!"
Add to the cast, a very young Julie London from "Emergency".
The actor (Ken Niles) who plays the dentist who gets snuffed = the same actor who played Leonard Eels --- the character who gets snuffed so they can try to pin it on Mitchum --- in Out Of The Past .
It's a living.
Rock Hudson would do that gag with the mini sports car years later with Doris Day.
You Go big boy!!
Very enjoyable, thanks for taking the time and effort to post.
Of course most of you probably don't know that Roy Clark is a country music artist and comedian from the late 50's - the mid 70's . The name being the same for the mystery man in the movie is hilarious :)
Also a British comedy writer, but spelled Clarke.
I love black and white movies
Those poor women scrubbing floors on their hands and knees! Were there no string mops in the 50's?!
I've watched this movie 🎬 several times and just love it everytime! Ty for posting 📫
Love the "fat" opening theme. A Fat theme for the fat man. The FIRST original radio episodes are also very good. I mean the first ones with Smart.
What a great old film noir! I luv the fat man! he's a dead ringer for Jackie Gleason but iI have never heard of this before but it was a great film noir type film! Thank you!
LOVE IT, THANKS 2MILLION UPLOADER!!!!!!!!!
"The Thin Man" is one of my favorites, I never knew there was a "Fat Man". He was "Cannon" before William Conrad. Rock Hudson and Julie London! Emmett Kelly. Marvin Kaplan. Really liked this movie. "He's in surgery" :D 16:28 R Chandler (Raymond?)
I'm working on a series called "The Medium Man" - - - so far no takers.
You're quite right; I'd forgotten about Cannon;
Just passing by. Couldn't resist a William Castle movie. Nothing like a Fat Man dancing.
Better than I expected!
Thank you so very much for this. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing.
The Fat Man aired on ABC Radio from 1946 to 1951 and Smart played the title role...or roll if you like puns.
Such an enjoyable movie ✨
Look at the stars in this!
Apparently, nobody here is aware that the radio Fat Man is a sort of swipe from Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op.
When The Thin Man hit on radio, they wanted Hammett to do a Fat Man to go with the Thin Man, so Hammett sold them a format , and off they went.
He lost an on-air credit due to being blacklisted; them's the breaks ...
On radio, Brad Runyon didn't have a funny sidekick; Universal decided to give him Clinton Sundberg, who was sort of the Charles Nelson Reilly of his era.
The plan was to do a series of Fat Man movies, but the timing was wrong; it happens ...
A very novel,fun movie to watch all of the varying actors in it,made the film that much more enjoyable.Thank you,for sharing this film.
Pretty good. I enjoyed that one. thank you!
