So nice to see such a swell movie. I was alive in 47, but to young to see this film and the wonderful actors perform. I can see now what swell actors they were and the wonderful time that it was. So happy I stopped by.
I too was barely alive in 1947 have always been fascinated with stories of World War II my Dad served in European Theater D DAY through Battle of Bulge ...
Whoa, that gold shiny thing when the "boss" is introduced is awful. What was that bow doing on her derriere? And the neckline looked like torture. Waiting to see her next femme fatale get up. The script is way above average. And the movie opens w plenty of action. Interesting glimpse into post war China. Thanks for this treat. 🎯
These films which weave history in with the fiction are not only entertaining, but useful in reminding us of our history - and can prod us, hopefully, to keep these things from happening today. At least the hopeful optimist in me likes to think so. Thanks for sharing this excellent film.
Handsome George Raft was my dad’s favorite actor other than Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney.We loved their movies back in the day.🥰🤷🏼♀️..,May dad and all R.I.P❤️🙏🏼
I saw Tom Tully in Destination Tokyo, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Lady in the Lake, The Caine Mutiny, Charlie Varick, Marvin Miller in Blood on the Sun, Dead Reckoning.
New subscription..thsnfp!! Love Geo Raft & Tom Tully... Het clothss & outfits !!!.that first scene Raft taking off😮being shot at....!!!!whole movie Great
My Daddy could of flown this plane ..! GE was MAJOR USAF ..then Reserves ..pilot instructor at 23 yrs old ...I know he would love this movie.. probably had seen in theater ...🎚️🇺🇸🇨🇱😔
That's a great opening still of George...thanks for this upload! Will make it my Saturday movie night! He aged so well.. One wonders if Valentino would have aged as well.. Not sure he would have...or could have considering he had syphilis from age 15 and had to take mercury injections to stave off recurrences as he never had the arsenic-based cure available at the time (possibly damaging to his eyes, one already damaged from the disease.) Raft was a real survivor and weathered his stormy life with a lot of resilience.
@@hollywood-thegoldenage5310 Hi, I liked it but I felt it was almost 2 movies...the first part, very tight, then came the "kids and the romance." The development of any believable romance between the characters was not strong. And at the end, we see Raft and the cops and then suddenly he's out with the "girlfriend" running to him. It happened so fast I actually rewound it to make sure I hadn't missed anything! I think this was the first project out of Raft's own production company (Star).
Good movie. Good cast. Raft always delivers. June Havoc teethed on show biz but didn't do as well in film as she did on the stage. Marvin Miller seems to always play a rat of some kind in movies but his talents go far beyond this stereotype. Thank you Golden Age
Bogart was a fantastic screen presence, much better than Raft. Much as I've enjoyed some of Raft's movies he generally has as much life as a plank of wood. Bogart though, Treasure of the Sierra Madre anyone? The Maltese Falcon? The Big Sleep? The African Queen, etc etc.
I have seen many movies of both Humphrey Bogart and George Raft and the African Queen will tell one and all who is the great actor. Sorry George...you were a fantastic dancer and a wooden actor.
03:39. That's a truly piss poor map George is attempting to navigate his twin-engine shot-up airplane with! Not even an aeronautical map or chart. Lacking all essential details.
The name of this movie is 'Intrigue' 1947. But the word 'intriguing' could be applied to Helena Carter as well. This was the third movie she made but with her talent, exposure and beauty, she was on a rocket ship to leading lady stardom. But it was not to be. Contract frustrations with the studios drove her to divorce her first husband and remarry her way out of the business in 1953, after only 13 movies.
I don't think he had anyone to blame but himself, he made some poor choices in his career, turned down roles in good films such as Maltese Falcon. Both James Cagney & Humphrey Bogart had a better screen presence.
I think this was pretty good in showing (in a Hollywood-stretch -the-truth kind of way) how bad the Black Marget was during and after WWII. Raft is always a fun man to watch, and the actors all did a good job. I always notice the details in the sets, and they made the most of the large, round window with Havoc dressed beautifully gazing from it. Good post-TY!
This is a very good film. It's on two levels, black market racketeers and a wrongful court marshal. George Raft concerns both. Friendship is important, so are children. The underlying theme is attempted redemption. Did he succeed? No spoilers so watch the film!
This is the historical account of the Chinese communist and how they treated the masses To years after this movie Mao Zedong and his commi revolution. Look at the people in the streets lying around homeless and starving with an opiom addiction. Reminds me of San Francisco today and all other cities in America. History repeats itself if your not aware or educated. Great movie 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿. Great cast!!! Nothing better than a George Raft movie.
No, it is not a historical account it is a Hollywood movie. The internet is here to remind you, you are a dummy. You've forgotten your natural place-sittng quietly on the short bus. Boomers just can't tell reality from fantasy.
Marvin muller was the host of the millionaire. The show where you never saw the millionaire. But you may have seen what he did. Marvin gave the money away. For good or bad.,what the money would do to the recipients.
Oh dear! Hegives the keys and the address of the goods and then "fires" him without retrieving the keys! 26:58 Social awareness ib=n the 1940s. The world has gone backwards. I wonder did the male stars of Hollywood films of this period have a clause in their contract that required they kiss an attractive woman?
A FACT SEARCHING MOVIE! I LIKE IT! BUT I HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT NOT EVERYTHING COMES AS WE LIKE IT TO COME ! ESPECIALLY IF WE DON'T HAVE FAITH IN OUR FATHER GOD! OUR CREATOR!!! WITHOUT HIM WE ARE BOND TO GO TO THE DEVIL!!

Same here. Six at the time.
Excellent forgotten film noir. Brilliant cast.
Glad you liked it. A lot of Raft's films are forgotten since they are never on TCM. That's why I made this channel!👍
Great movie. Raft could do it all. Thank you
I just keep appreciating George Raft's work more and more.
Yes George Raft was fine actor.
A fine old fashioned well told story, well made and acted.
He is a great actor, I enjoyed all of the movies I've seen so far.
What a great film with a great actor! George Raft was one of old Hollywood's best actors.
The gowns and total costume of Helena's wardrobe are not merely Oscar worthy, but easily among the finest Hollywood ever produced.
....FYI......THAT IS JUNE HAVOC....GYPSY ROSE LEE ....SISTER....

What a great film! Love George Raft, who I thought was a very underrated actor. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for another great George Raft movie 🍿
You have made a wonderful choice to offer us this weekend 💙💚🔍🔓📮🪔
I am so glad you liked my choice and Mr. Raft's movies.
the fabulous June Havoc

I really don't know it's possible since they both had Italian genes but I do know George aged better than most. Let me know how you liked the movie.

Great movie. Totally enjoyed it.
Oh, Grasshopper. That was a very young Phillip Ahn. He did the made-for-TV movie "Kung Fu" later in the 1970's.
Raft was a greàt actor
I just love handsome, sexy George Raft in anything. This was definitely an exciting and 'intriguing' film.
Handsome?
@@doreekaplan2589 Yes!!! Handsome. I think it's true that we all have our own personal preferences!
From Terence Wise in UK………Wow! What a great film,I remember my late mother telling me that George Raft was a super star actor.
I, am a fan of film noir thankQ for uploading.
“I can see you don’t have a gun as well”, brilliant. Add “Shanghai Dodgers”, to that, lol
Watching two George Raft movies, back-to-back confuses me (mu mixin-&-matching pieces). 🤭
George Raft really could play any role. Great movie! Will share it to movie groups. Raft 100% better that Bogart.
Agreed. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that. Love Raft!!!

Great flick! George Raft was a great actor!
I ll say these 1930s 40s films were the foundation of James bond films. Rip G.Raft.
Awesome!!!!
Natalie attired Raft wearing the urban sombrero
Super!😊
A great cast in a movie that leaves you asking what was it about. It was about 1:26:01 in length. Sho' 'nuff.
Great movie two thumbs up never seen this before but this was fantastic I'm glad I found it thank you thank you thank you
wonderf film ! thank you!
quite good, especially in retrospect
June Havoc strongly resembles Catherine Deneauve.
Outstanding film!
Thank You.
If it wasn't for Cagney, Raft would have lasted longer.. He was great.
I don't think he had anyone to blame but himself, he made some poor choices in his career, turned down roles in good films such as Maltese Falcon. Both James Cagney & Humphrey Bogart had a better screen presence.

I loved the kids in this movie. ❤poor things.😢
Im a new fan of Raft Movies
She don't drink she don't smoke, what does she do?
PLEASE show " Golden Earrings " with Marlene Dietrich & Ray Miland. !..& any Van Johnson especially noir" & ESTHER Williams !!
..💚
George was made for these movies. Cool cool and soo sexy..Satisfied? Not yet !
Indeed and much, much better than Bogart!
@@edgardolopez1862 No he wasn't!
@@nickpemberton543 Yes he was!
A very different and more interesting, charismatic presence.
All different tastes!
Is not clear, I give up headache
Just love George Raft such a talented actor!!
Mark andrews was at womc fm 93.5 Detroit
Gypsy rose Lee was June havoc s sister.
Good movie choice with a moral message.

Bogart thanked George Raft for his career
George Raft turned down 'the maltese falcon'.
And John Huston was very pleased about it.
Bogart"s still my favorite
I like June❤️
......The "Do Gooder Sanctimony" Totally RUINED This Movie !!!

I was never a big fan of Mr. Raft, probably to many gangster movies, and his irritating, monotone line delivery, this movie was watchable however.
