These old movies make me feel like a kid again !
Great movie and thank you for putting this movie on RUclips 😎
Nice, snappy dialogue. Thank you for uploading!
Watched a lot of these old black and white films recently, keep em coming. So much more entertaining than the current films. Thanks PizzaFlix!
Very enjoyable film. Thank you for sharing it! ❤
Good show !👏🏾🍕🎥🎬🙋🏽
Bank robbing was a serious business to the banks robbed because a national insurance policy didn't yet exist and people lost money if the bank did and didn't get it back. Always in these films houses and apartments are entered easily and without any kind of search warrant.
Thanks PF, I have seen this movie at least 5X I never get tired of seeing the cars. The girl Bobbi is a sweetheart ❤
I saw her first.
Fairly Good cops&gangstes movie!! The comedic talent of photographer was Quite fun to watch!! Thanks,PizzaFlix4 showing Movie!
Thanks for watching! We are also on Roku.
Comedic talent? Surely you jest. Vince Barnett was a Johnny-One-Note and did the same stupid routine in every film.
Excellent ☺
Loved it. X
The highlight of this film for me is Vince Barnett, who made so many films he must have acted in one every other week. He was Tony Comante's sidekick in the original Scarface. Howard Hawks gave him a great scene in that film answering the telephone as Mr. Comante's secretary. He could be a decent comic actor if scriptwriters gave him good material.
Vince Barnett was all right in this film, but after that he gets to be just a bit too much. And in 'The 9th Guest', 1934, his character was totally out of sync with the rest of the movie.
I have to correct my own reply. Vince Barnett was in 'Sinful Cargo' in 1936', and was a drag on the whole thing. And he was in 'Death Kiss' in 1932, as a studio cop, and ruined that as well. He was the same in every other show I saw him in. Any criticism I could post of him would be too generous. IMDb states that he was a noted comedian and a practical joker, but that doesn't come through in any of the films we see him in.
@@leelarson107 Man . . . you just don't like poor Vince. I feel like that about Joey Faye.
Agreed, "Hunter" ~ I'm always pleased to see Vince in the opening creds, but too often, the writers & director made a buffoon out of him.
@@DavidRice111 Yeah, that's true about a lot of comic relief character actors. Directors gave them a vague idea of what to do then expected them to come up with something on their own in a hurry. Those actors had more talent than was in their material. Watch Andy Clyde in the old cowboy "B" westerns: comic business put together in a hurry and NOT FUNNY.
Love that ship's wheel lamp at 36:00.
The 1930s was the decade that film studios insisted that women's natural eyebrows should be plucked and replaced with pencil lines. Margaret Lockwood, the British actress, tried to avoid that fate but was unable to. She stopped having them plucked later on, but the eyebrows never grew back. Eleanor Hunt's plucked face in this movie makes her resemble Joan Crawford?
Ugg, those poor women. Vanity really can be a pain.
Studios definitely controlled their stars.
I always hated the sight of the pencil-line eyebrows. As for Eleanor Hunt, she was far prettier than Joan Crawford.
😄
Thank-You!!
2nd time I watched. Still good.
Here is the greatest 😂😁👍
Its no accident we all run into same Comments😇🤗🤗
Could Have Been a Good Movie IF they Had Left Out the Comedy Parts
You're right on that. The crazy camera man was totally unnecessary. The same thing applies to the presence of Mantan Moreland in the Charlie Chan movies, where Charlie's #2 son Jimmy provided enough comic relief and they really didn't need another clown.
ha, ha, ha "I'll keep these [bills] ($100 worth ? today)for the time being. They'll stand a little studying." ('I will test them in the stores')
Why, why, why were so many of these early American detective movies ruined by having a raving lunatic featured, at least this time it wasn't one of the police men.
A natural slide out of vaudeville & slap stick comedy which was still very hot entertainment at that time. It was yuuge doubt if "moving pictures" would become successful so everything including the kitchen sink was maneuvered in to most films.
@@sophieseeker929 Sophie that is so clear thank you. How fortuitous that one of the few who know the answer found the question!
Often it was just the depiction of a cop of the time.
Vince Barnett ruined every film he was ever in. Check that out and see for yourself. This film didn't need him or any other raving lunatic.
I've watched at least a thousand of these old films, and this one became so silly I just had to turn it off.
Thank you and Good-Bye.
CORNY!!
Thank you for this movie.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕
Just happened to have a key to open the cell door! Right 🙄
How'd you like to lug that camera around?
Why did he need that tripod? Snapshots for the newspapers could be done with a hand-held model.
What is the problem with the photographer, Callahan? That bulky, cumbersome camera of his is already out of date even for 1937. I've seen many films from that period, as well as historical photos, and most everyone used a hand-held camera. Still bulky by today's standards, but better than something more suited for a portrait studio. And I don't care for the character of Callahan as such. He was in 'The 9th Guest' in 1934, and spoiled that one just by his presence. Slapstick comedy went out with Vaudeville.
After watching this I wondered when did men stop wearing hats and why.
Kennedy was th e first president harless at an inauguration. It was BIG news....Angry people....but the trend was set....1960
HATLESS, not harless
@@robertwalker5521 Wigs likly became the fashion as soon as President Kennedy's first bold speech.
Too much fuss

Regrets for being a year late in recognizing excellence. .
Conrad Nagel looks like Bing Crosby
Conrad Nagel was a Human being. That puts him a couple of steps above Bing Crosby.
Ouch
Ears are not near large enough.
What a career nosedive for Conrad Nagel.
He was doing just fine through the rest of his career. What makes you think otherwise?
Not my cuppa tea, but ok. 👍

not quite the budget of Bond or Harry Potter.
Kind of like what happened to Jeffrey Epstein...
In those days most women in movies were more like the girls next door or down the block. Now, most look like cheap tarts. Those days people were modest whereas now women let it hang out like milk cows.
That was well put. I find Eleanor Hunt far more attractive than the 'incredibly hot' actresses around today.
Woof!
@@radonradon5478 I hope that doesn't mean that you think she's a dog.
Altogether too silly, simple minded, over-acted B flick.
yes. absolutely perfect!
But it will be preserved and watched long after the porn that's coming out of Hollywood today.
