Many times these B Movies were even better than their A counterparts as they eliminated many useless side issues & just stuck to the story. Morris as always is excellent with great support from Ciannelli
In the field of classical music there is a wide range of outstanding composers and compositions, from the best-known to the least-known and overlooked. They all offer different experiences, and it is the same thing with films like this. Smaller budgets, shorter film length (so-called B-films) versus full-blown spectacles. This is a gem, and whatever flaws it may have are like wrinkles - they are ther and the add to it. Thank you posting this neat movie!
In most of Chester Morris movies he was always well dressed and possessed a slight laugh and smile in a lot of his lines in the movie. That was his trademark in doing a lot of his scenes.
You know, we are all knowledgeable that the treatment the “young couple” received really happened all over the country. It is reassuring that that harshness of the interrogation is quite so bad as previously, but I would lay money it is still objectionable to some extent. The portion of the pic where police enter rooms shooting, I’m sure was also somewhat based on reality. We’d like to think not, but that would be foolish. The movie itself was very entertaining. These old b&w detective movies are usually very good. Ty for the upload.
Ciannelli was born in Lacco Ameno, on the island of Ischia, where his father, a doctor, owned a health spa. He studied surgery at the University of Naples, and worked briefly as a doctor, but his love of grand opera and the dramatic stage won out and he became a successful baritone, singing at La Scala and touring Europe. Go figure.
Entertaining little film, which is all it was meant to be in the first first place. The leads all do good work (Morris, especially, was underrated during his career, but there has been renewed interest in him during recent years). To enjoy these types of films, you have to look at them from the aspect of the time they were made and film conventions of the era.
The kids couldn't have been convicted of murder one. Gene told Rocky there was to be no shooting. Gene also told Dorothy he hated guns in front of a room full of people. Rocky was the instigator of the shooting by including a weapon he was ordered by Gene not to bring. So there was no premeditation on the part of Gene, or the kids who were supposed to leave the scene once the street fight got going. The man who kept telling them they were equally as guilty as the shooter was part of the police. He wasn't the District Attorney, so he could have been bluffing just for traction. But no way would either of the kids go to the electric chair. Some Hollywood writer didn't do the research.
After being robbed, that guy says to his girlfriend, "maybe we shld go to the Police", He just had a policeman, "ask, if everything was OK" ? What an idiot.!!!!
I understand that the habit of wearing hats was killed when U.S. prez John F. Kennedy did not wear a hat to his inauguration (1960). American men followed his example.
Mr. Morris......had tough exterior in most films, with a twist of humor, odd combo that worked for him. Think he really enjoyed being an actor. Walter Able.... actually met him once through mutual friend, seemed very polite with old type acting personality.... The supporting cast in this good, entertaining old black & white are tops ! Pizza Flix, putting in an order for another tasteful film. Thanks for this one.
In the Boston Blackie movies Blackie was a crook then reformed after he got out of prison and worked with the police in solving crimes. But Faraday always thought he was still a crook.
This is not about this movie a but about real happens police beat me. Not once not twice twelve times body slam nine times beaten kick knock senseless ended up seizers from head injuries an brut force trama deny medical help for a time then doctors broth back by doctors to face more bad things done by the smpd guns to my head they robbers home. Mink coat an rabbit coat missing again putting gun to my head said get out of the town I was born an raise in next they. Made false documents towing steeling my vehicle after breaking it forty years of abuse of a police department. I am knot afraid to die any more matter face I wish to go an be in peace for I know I am good person unlike those who beat an hurt a disabled person
Ooooo, there are some like that, so annoying, and people that are their friends are the ones who have to look out for them, almost having sleepless nights over girls like that.
Surprised to see Van Nest Polglase as art director since he was 13 yrs into his 32 yrs as art director for RKO, and no sign of his signature art deco style he popularized in the Astaire/Rogers series. Despite his impact via some of Hollywood's iconic films like "Gilda" and "Citizen Kane," his six Oscar nominations were pale alongside his much-decorated peer Cedric Gibbons, whose influence was also celebrated. Perhaps a factor in the alcoholism that diminished Polglase's career. Lee Patrick was a newlywed; reason for the spurned kiss from Morris? The "kid/boy" Tommy, 29, was just 7 yrs younger than Gene.
Its called a bank . The place where money is kept . Stupid trying to pick a lock, funny. Shave an a hair , knock on the door like the others said , a wild way to start married life .thanks
my grandmama could have written a better screenplay than this ham and egger. hard to imagine that people thought this this was a good movie. that was one lying couple. they probably had children and they became politicians based on a true story ? she-it.
@@michaeljayklein500 The context of when these old films were made explains many of the 'issues' that cause knickers to become twisted. Contemporary reactions feel good, but often they are not taking enough into consideration. One opinion.

Great movie thank you!!! Love Chester Morris

This was an entertaining movie featuring Chester Morris and a good cast.
Well done
What an excellent I enjoyed it immensely I hope you have more
Crazy about Chester ❤
I enjoyed this film. I remember seeing Chester Morris as Boston Blackie on Saturday mornings as a child. He was very good in this film.
Check out Chester Morris in "The Bat Whispers". Unusual role for him. He was also good in "5 Came Back".
Just involved after watching this, what a Superb story ❤

Ciannelli was one intensely scary dude.
Gunga Din!

Chester Morris started out in class A movies. In later years he turned out in making B movies.
Morris was a very good actor, it is too bad that he got type-cast in the Boston Blackie series. Well, he made a fortune so it was probably worth it.
He wasn't underrated.Huge star of the thirties.
Good movie!! I Love Chester Morris
I hadn't seen this one with Chester Morris...thanks..!! I was used to seeing Chester play his Boston Blackie role...this was certainly different.
His movies from the late 20's are good too. He even did comedy back then.
@@NYC1927 back then ChesterMorris was in class A movies.

That Dorothy was a crooked dame.
awesome flick ,super acting ❤ 8/10
Thanks Pizza Fix I really enjoyed this movie. x
After being robbed, that guy says to his girlfriend, "maybe we shld go to the Police",
He just had a policeman, "ask, if everything was
OK" ?
What an idiot.!!!!
Fantastic thank you 🙋
Slick movie. Thanks for the upload.
Dorothy is too old looking for Gene.
Good Afternoon Delight, Thanks. 👏🏾 🎬 🙋🏽 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Good movie to distract me from the Election Day craziness. Thank you!
Gee, I guess everybody in the underworld ain't such a bad apple after all
It is amusing that in these movies that male love interest is always a dumb jerk. No wonder that the gals went for bad guys, or so it is said.
A PLAYER, TO THE END!!!!!!!!! BETTER THE SECOND TIME, AROUND. THANK 5MILL UPLOADER!!!!!!!!!
Excellent ☺
There is another version of this movie that I watched from the same era. Does anyone know the name of it?
The Payoff 1930
3:13 COWARDS always need to sneak and have plenty of Ruthless people around..
never seen that many well tailored suits on a set !!! men should dress like this everyday !!
That's how most men dressed before 1960 and women too.
I like the hats in those days, I grew up in the 50's, then they stopped useling them, so men cld comb their hair & not mess it up.
I understand that the habit of wearing hats was killed when U.S. prez John F. Kennedy did not wear a hat to his inauguration (1960). American men followed his example.
Love it!
Ohh this is rocky from ganster"s cartoons...bugs bunny...the minute i heard him speak i knew it my favorite cartoon ❤
Thank you!! :)

Gene needs a whole new loyal gang.
It is an adventure in crime most newlyweds don't need. A great flick!
Watch the original version, "The Payoff" from 1930 with Lowell Sherman and Marion Nixon. =)
Crazy how all these people are Dead
Aren't these movies captivating
All honesty no honesty
All end in the justice winning
When really they are just messages
These B movies are better than anything Hollywood produces these days. None of that woke crap for me!
soooo....why wouldn't they just walk along with the cop ? and the cops that stupid not to suggest he walk them out ?
because its a movie
This is a remake of a movie from 1930 called "The Payoff" with Lowell Sherman and Marion Nixon.
Yes that's right.I watched it twice recently.
Farraday always thought Blackie was still a crook:)
In the Boston Blackie movies Blackie was a crook then reformed after he got out of prison and worked with the police in solving crimes. But Faraday always thought he was still a crook.
Lee Patrick--TV Cosmo Topper wife, secretary to Sam Spade, "Maltese Falcon"....
Till this day, people will have the opportunity to seek help, and they do not.
136 dollars in1938 , equivalent to 2,400 dollars in 2018
Imagine "justice" as twisted as this? Oh I can. We have Biden-Harris.
At about 14:30 the theme used 10 years later in Out of the Past. Interesting -- "The First Time I Met You"?
This is not about this movie a but about real happens police beat me. Not once not twice twelve times body slam nine times beaten kick knock senseless ended up seizers from head injuries an brut force trama deny medical help for a time then doctors broth back by doctors to face more bad things done by the smpd guns to my head they robbers home.

It's a movie, but do we really have silly girls like this?
Ooooo, there are some like that, so annoying, and people that are their friends are the ones who have to look out for them, almost having sleepless nights over girls like that.
Now we can't get married. The End.
Annabell?
💜💛💗💙

Small world captain .
They stole the money for his acting lessons 🤣
A gangster with a heart of gold. What a load of $%^#.
ANNA. BELL. WAS. A. WIMP. CRY. TOOO. MUCH. FOR. ME. TOOO. WEAK. TO. BE. IN. THIS. MOVIE
That was pretty lame.
The dumbest duo in any film that's ever been made. What an unbelievable mess!
This is life every body not as smart as the other . Smile some are silly , or stupid .
my grandmama could have written a better screenplay than this ham and egger.
hard to imagine that people thought this this was a good movie.
that was one lying couple.
they probably had children and they became politicians
based on a true story ? she-it.
So how do you really feel . Hmm
Thank you, Roger Ebert.

Actually, this is a good straightforward story told in a tight 60 minutes -- something they don't know how to do anymore.😊
