The best thing about older films is that Stephen King and all the recent horror and fantasy vampires have no part in them
Yes, l do believe
agree
your absolutely right
This isn’t as good as one book that Stephen King has written.
👍
Best Line:
"I don't like people much. Not even the people I like."
"Ah women . They're getting too capable , for their own good these days " 😉
Not a bad contender either ...😅
Great line, unfortunately I couldn't finish this and got bored/disinterested about halfway through.
Yep ..I need that on a tee shirt 😂
Love these amnesia movies. Its like solving the mystery through the eyes of the main character where the main character knows almost as little as you do, living the story through their eyes as if there yourself.
😊 agreed 👍
100%

Love these old films. An escape back to logic and reason.
You hit it right on the head Larry!!
Exactly!
Worst boring film
But this one is too stupid with a nonsensical script.
I only CALL it SERIE B 😂
Subtle or not, it was funny when he was in the garage and said "Well Harry, I wonder what your car is doing in my wife's garage". 🤣 👍
@janebrown3587 Subtle can be so direct and clear!
The Turkey Earthquake happened yesterday..Thousands were lost and injured..when all you can do is say Prayers for them these old movies help me remember even the smallest things are a blessing to be thankful for🙏❤️😭
Worth the watch, if nothing else but to see Paulette. Give it a watch and a like.
She was areal hottie in the silent era films with Charlie Chaplin.
Thanks for posting. This movie (aka as "A Stranger Came Home" in the UK) didn't get favourable reviews when it came out but it's not a bad movie. An international cast of actors: 2 Americans, 3 Canadians, an Australian and South African among the Brits. It's worth the watch. Cheers from Canada.
I love British films too. Always an unexpected twist. Even the good guys are flawed and they are masters at understating the most catastrophic situations.
En effet !!!!
Comme aujourd'hui aussi. .
Oui les acteurs britanniques ont quelques chose de plus
Incontournable
Jamais déçue
Merci pour le film que je revoi avec gourmandise ❤❤❤
I’m not sure it’s a British film. Americans talked that way in films. It’s like an aristocratic way of talking. Johnathan Harris
( Dr. Smith ) was born in the Bronx.
@@fishypictures I believe American actors were taught speech referred to as “mid Atlantic” or “trans Atlantic”. Supposedly, cultured, educated Americans introduced this speech. In my opinion, actors like Spencer Tracy, Bogart, Dick Powel, Gary Cooper began using more regionally authentic “American” speech pattern.
@@fishypictures It would make sense that it is a British film. The police officer who appears after the murder of Harry I recognize as a British actor.
Interesting flick and that deep divot scar on his head lasted 4 years but nearly disappeared in 4 days..
Love the kitchen.
"I don't like people very much not even the people I like."
Great line.
Lol
Sounds like something J4 would say to me 👁️🧭👀
or, that line a constable said: "women are becoming too capable these days." or something to that effect.
That's the way. I think. Don't put your trust. In any man. Only. In. God.
Thank you for uploading this gem of a classic movie-I’m watching on a Sunday when things tend to be slow and boring❣️❤️💝

@@PatriciaKeel-ig9ni That's what I heard, but some of the misunderstood lines end up so funny.
For a mystery drama, it's a pretty mysterious drama, and so british in every way.

I love these old British movies. Not a lot of violence and a good story line. You can understand what is going on, like it a lot!

TY for this great mystery murder upload. I didn't recognize any of the leading actors, but all gave great performances. 5of5 ⭐
Paulette Goddard was a famous American actress who had an early association with Charlie Chaplin
Nada como poder disfrutar de estos filmes clásicos del género Noir que siempre lo intrigan a uno de principio a fin. Por sus particulares tramas que no siempre son tan obvios en un primer momento.
Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
I agree 100%
Greetings to Venezuela from Canada!
@@cattymajiv Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for all the great info in the description, including the list of chapters with time stamps! Some channels give nothing, plus they even cut off the start and end, so there's no way to get any info. Sometiimes even the name of the show is cut off, and is not a part of the title! It's sometimes a ridiculous but ineffective attempt to avoid copyright claims. It's an abomination. So your plentiful info is so great! And much appreciated.
@cattymajiv Thank you for your comment and appreciation! Glad you notice these "details" that really distinguish our channel and all the work, effort and budget we put into it! Glad you enjoy it, and happy to say we've got plenty more for you to enjoy here in CCC! Take care!! See ya' around!
This was close to the end for Paulette's film career it was her B and C movie phase but she is still one of my favorite gals!!
Yes, it was her last starring role.
I wouldn't have recognized her without the credits. The soft focus lens on her medium shots had me thinking I had a stroke...I didn't even recognize her voice.
Paulette is 47 here. She plays the bitchy part well. Knowing her history I can't believe she was ever considered for Scarlett in GWTW. Her personality and particularly her voice are wrong for the part. Same could be said of Jean Arthur. Both fine actresses but how they were ever considered for Scarlett is beyond me.
I love British movies…theirs just something about them ♥️
there is THERE IS for God's sake
An excellent film. Thank you for uploading. Quality was outstanding; so many I can't watch.
Yes Jeffrey !!
First of all, it’s amazing how people don’t lock their doors, and anyone just walks in. Secondly, when you don’t feel well, or faint, everyone asks for a drink! 🤣🤣
And Audrey Hepburn is depicted in many films "retrieving her KEY from the front entrance flowed pot ? WHAT THE HECK?

I've seen a lot of old movies where the first thing they say when someone is shot/faints/hysterical is, "Quick! Get the Brandy!" Several years ago, I decided to see if Brandy would help me with pain/sleep before bed. I'm a punk at drinking, so when that tiny half-shot hit my tongue, I had to spit it out fast. Who knew Brandy is just a slick name for Kerosene?! How do all those old ladies do that without gagging? The fumes alone were so bad. It's still under my sink, but it would take a Nuclear attack to make me try it again, although the Radiation would probably be the lesser of two evils. :)
Well, brandy (traditionally) seemed the cure for everything!😊!
@@soniavadnjal7553 I know it worked, but my stomach won't have it (lightweight-lol)
I was born in 1951 and even as I was growing up I remember how people didn’t lock their doors. People were more law abiding and life was somewhat simpler then, at least for ordinary people.
Paulette. quite a gal. married to Chaplin and starred in his silents, then later Remaque, author of All Quiet on the Western Front and The Arch of Triumph. both wonderful films. she gave her fortune to charities when she died.
Who else would she had left her fortune to if not charities since she had no children, she wasn't married when she died, and she was an only child so no siblings, nephews or nieces.
Never knew she was married to. Charlie. That must of been a. Riot. !
@@c.l.j.jardell5811 maybe. Chaplin was a genius, who wrote, directed, acted, and wrote musical scores for his movies. here last marriage was to the great writer Remarque.
Thank you for posting a well-crafted film of a well-crafted mystery. Compelling watching!
Thank you so much for this fabulous channel, and all the brilliant films you share.
Man returns after years away following an unintentionally long voyage to be recognised by his old dog. His wife has a house full of guests including suitors. Oddly reminiscent of the Odyssey?
Oddly?

Well-seasoned with Great Gatsby.
Wow what a plot acting was incredible a classic to remember ❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂
I love these old B/W movies.wowser wowser.
Excellent Brit film, beautifully crafted and well acted...
Classic noir! Twists and turns, dialog rich. Thanks for the show!
A goodish B noir of the kind I enjoy watching across midnight. William Sylvester and Paul Carpenter were made for this kind of film, and of course Paulette Goddard was in the evening of her career by this time. Even so she made a first rate B movie with Edward G Robinson called Vice Squad a year or two later. The Hammer noirs are worth watching when directed by someone like Terence Fisher.
She must be beautiful in the morning of her career 🧸🤓🤣🌺🎶🧸.
its a classic noir british lil diff than american and it is 1954 so closer to end of classic american noir and i rather enjoyed it alot...very good acting and plot ....no femme fatale per se but it so far is really good for me.......noir is my faves!!!
Actually this movie was made the year after 'Vice Squad'.
For a man shot in the hand, he sure can throw punches. And knockout drugs seem to be all so readily available in Britain.
yesss! more murder mysteries like this one, please?!?
I keep picturing Paulette Goddard - as a runaway adolescent orphan, playing house with Charlie Chaplin down by the riverside in "Modern Times". Strange how that sequence was filmed less than 30 years before this but seems like 100 years different at least. I wonder if she compared CC's acting to this current star - what a difference! Thanks for this, enjoyed it. 💖 🇨🇦
I always think of her as Joyce in The cat and the Canary.
After surviving a murder, one can become quite cold.
Almost as cold as one who does not survive a murder.
I was never the same after I was murdered 😒
I always like anything that William Sylvester does. I became a fan of his after seeing him in the great science fiction classic: 2001: A Space Odyssey where he was Dr. Heywood Floyd.
HE certainly had more curls in that ''do'' compared to later works ..lol
marbleman52: During the first few minutes I was trying to place who was playing the character Sylvester was playing and then it dawned on me, "Oh it's that guy from 2001!"
Thanks for pointing that out. That is the only thing interesting in this slow, dry, stuffy, Brit movie. I am not a proficient cinema critic, but, perhaps the "pacing" of the plot is too consistent.
@@dconov I like the scenery in these.
Sylvester has been in some science fiction and horror films like Gorgo, Devils of darkness, Devil Doll and I believe Curse of the voodoo. Very good actor.
The British films of the 50s had a totally unique feel to them ......btw plot goof when vickers is making breakfast kitchen he tells his wife the only working phone is in his study but when the detective is talking to the two of them the parlor the telephone rings and he answers it
One of the inspectors or detectives remind’s me of Jonathan Winter’s. When I was 10 years old my sister and her husband took me to a drive in movie to see a movie called The Trouble With Harry, he just wouldn’t stay in the same place. Even though I was only 7 years old I remember how funny I thought it was. I think the movie can be watched on RUclips for free and I plan to watch it again.

I was trying to remember where I had seen our intrepid man, then finally it came to me, about halfway through. He was the man riding the shuttle in 2001, a space Odyssey, accompanied by the wonderful "Blue Danube" musical score as he headed to the moon!
William Sylvester was so handsome...I wish he had been in more movies.
I watched the whole film waiting for Paulette Goddard to wear that gown on the poster.
Great movie, thank you for sharing.
💊 thank you for posting or uploading the film...!
It was the pill I needed😊
I loved when his wife faints in his arms....
Fantastic!! Thanks for showing it!!
How was it
Many scenes in this movie were shot at Cliveden, Buckinghamshire (a National Trust property and luxury hotel) including the opening scene at the main entrance, and the many scenes down by the river at the boathouse.
I liked the boathouse by the canal area.
have you been to it and has it changed much since this film?
@@JS-ob4oh Yes. I actually work there.
@@markren2125 Amazing!
@@JS-ob4oh Indeed it is!
Thank you for uploading this suspenseful movie for us. 🍿
Many many thanks for the upload !!!
Paul Carpenter is so handsome. I am always so disturbed by the way he died in such an unexpected manner. Every time I am sick and I say to someone "I'll go lie down or a bit" I am reminded of Paul's last words.
Probably one of the downsides of watching classic TV series and films is finding out sad details.
Who killed him?
Carpenter appears to have had French-Canadian origins (his real name has been given as 'Laine Charpentier'): he looks a bit older than the early '30s that he must have been at when this 'B' picture was made. Maybe he 'burned the candle at both ends' (like Errol Flynn)
police inspector: "i wouldnt have to work till 1994 ... " ; )
Time traveler.
Had to watch...Paulette Goddard ❤

Great movie!!!!! Thank you very much!
William Sylvester, from "2001- A Space Odyssey"! It was driving me crazy. I knew I knew him, from something I'd seen many times. And that was it.
And Gorgo too.
I wasn't planning to watch this thing all the way through, but when I discovered that one of the stars of 2001: A Space Odyssey was in it, I had to stick around. As murder/mysteries go, it has a certain British charm.
Grazie per il bel film e per i sottotitoli ♥️🇮🇹
Very enjoyable film. Thank you for sharing.
20:12: "Ah, Women- they're getting too capable for their own good these days." LOL If I hadn't been "too capable", a lot of people would have died. Gotta love these old movies and the way they remind us of how things used to be in society. This is a good enough film, entertaining and all. I think they beat the "OK, I know it was you" bit to death, but they kept making it look like several of them did it, so it kept me guessing. The big, loyal old Dog was a nice touch- it looks like my Great Pyr with short hair.
Thank you for the trouble you went to breaking the movie down (above). I usually pick a line or two for a comment, and you made finding this one easier. :)
JINX!
Just made a comment for that same exact time stampstamp.
@@luminosityfunction2709 GMTA! (Great minds think alike). :) They use 2 names from the Bible: Saul and Job, but since they pronounced Job (Jobe, long O ) wrong, I'm surprised they didn't make Saul into SawUHL- lol.

Thank you for the great movie.
Lots of suspense.

This was a tough one to get into. None of the characters were likeable or particularly decent people. There was no one to root for, so nobody really deserved a happy ending.
Another fine film. Thanks for posting.
Really good movie!!! Thank you 😊
Most enjoyable!! Thank you! ❤
Paulette Goddard --- WOW!!!!! She was in a number of movies worth watching just for her. One of her best was "The Women". She was also in an episode of the series Sherlock Holmes".

Definitely interesting! Well worth watching.

Thank you. It's a great suspense movie. I enjoy it.
Terence Fisher directed this, I'm interested😁
Jock, which other films 🎥 has Terence Fisher directed and produced? Now I’m also interested. 😃
Everything comes all together very FAST in the last scenes; Exam of dead body and accouterments, etc., then the happy couple leaves behind his car to catch a ride home with the "embarrassed" police inspector. Tut! Tut! But it's a good film noire; acting, costuming, sets, cinematography, all clearly preserved. 'Would like the have seen much more of the outstanding watercraft. Thanks C.C.C.
Slow moving but an entertaining film.Thanks for posting.
Remember this was co-produced by Hammer Films, and is a British movie. Its original title is 'The Stranger Came Home' - after the novel 'Stranger at Home', credited to Russia born, suave English class actor George Sanders (who once voiced the tiger Shere Khan in the last movie Walt Disney oversaw; the 1966 'The Jungle Book', the year of his death and therefore he never saw the finished movie), and who already in the early 60s vowed to take his life at 65 - which he actually did on April 25, 1972. The novel, however, was ghost-written by Leigh Brackett.🤔
Terence Fisher later directed lots of Hammer Horror, while prolific producer, director and sometime screenwriter Michael Carreras (1927-94), son of Hammer Film Productions co-founder (with William Hinds, father of movie producer Anthony Hinds), James Carreras (actually Sir James Enrique Carreras KCVO MBE, 1907-90 and son of Spanish immigrant and cinema owner Enrique Carreras) became an executive at the company after his father's retirement in 1972. Yada yada, yada...🙄
I love movies. However few capture and keep your interest.
Why is hard to say for? It's not one thing. The tempo, the music, the actors, maybe the story. A relatable character or one you'd like to be, or maybe know.
This one is a great classic in its over all casting and story. The early acting is not so premeditated but more realistic and natural in its delivery.
Pure escape and suspense in watching, for entertainment we can expect and appreciate.
Excellent! I had never seen that before.
thanks,beautiful crisp copy.
Good stuff…thanx a lot!!
Thank you very much!
Aka “A Stranger Came Home”
What?
@@helenpoornima5126 it's an alternate title. Many movies have those.
Besides Terence Fisher there are several other names working on this movie that would go on to make Hammer movies in the years ahead.
This WAS a Hammer Film Production in association with Lippert. Carreras, Sangster and Fisher were with Hammer for years before Hammer broke through with Dracula (Horror of Dracula in the US) and Curse of Frankenstein in 1957/1958

EXCELENTE SUSPENSE. GRATIDÃO PELA POSTAGEM.
We often need to set aside our dislike of the racism and sexism of older times, but other than that these movies are great! Especially the British ones!
Quite. I don't see how pretending it never existed does anyone any good
Good movie, but I thought the giveaway was going to be that actual killer was Sowal because he was right handed and the husband was left handed (notice how they handled their guns and drinks) and when the assistant was hit over the head at the end, I thought the coroner was going to say the blow came from a right-handed person - Sowal.
Good story. Good film. Thank you. It's probably out of your control but on my end, there were far too many ad interruptions on this one.

Great movie!👌🏻🎬
They were told this might be the last film ever made so thought they'd use up all the acting.
