I love this era! This was a funny movie and full of witty humor. I loved it! Thank you so much!❤🍿🥤
" She could give an aspirin a headache. " I will have to remember that line for future use.
Lol
fun "who dunnit" story line. For a low budget film, it peaked my curiosity throughout. "Keep em commin"
"I've got brains I ain't even used yet!" . . . great line!
Must have been Biden
It always takes one to show the shit. Gezzzzz give it a break.
@@cherylkruisheer3267 your brain doesn`t get any use
'She'll give an aspirin a headache!' LOL
Love the fact they have separate beds. Even had them on I Love Lucy.
It was the law so to speak, censor's law. Yet if you were a producer a couch was good for auditions.
Great script, quick wit, fast pace, funny, cute & fun. I loved it. Thank you.
Morey Amsterdam of the Dick Van Dyke show wrote the script! Its in the opening credits!
@@annegeeraerts1669 More importantly the story is by the hilarious Milt Gross!
I have always wondered why in murder movies or scary movies NO ONE EVER TURNS THE DANG LIGHTS ON? They all prefer to run into a dark room and yell, "Who is it?", or "What is it?", instead of turning on the light (by the door) so they could all see, lol.
Sometimes, they even use flash ligths when they could just as well turn on the switch button near the door.
@@marysylvie2012 right? Lol
That's called a "plot device" . Something that moves the plot along or facilitates the action. It's the explanation of why a certain action is taking place, silly as some of them may seem. Example: a dark and stormy night that washes out the only road, is the plot device that makes it possible for the characters to have to stay in a near by haunted mansion.

Or in this case, a dark room that can hide someone or a sinister act and increases the creepy factor. If you can just flip on the light , well what's the fun in that? 😄
Just wondering, does anyone know if Sam McDaniel was related to Hattie McDaniel?
After reading about Hattie McDaniel in Wikipedia, (the first Black Woman to win an Oscar for “Gone with the Wind”), it turns out that Sam, who played Harmony was her older brother. They were two very gifted actors for their time.
This is so cool to know. Both talented humans.
I love the simplicity and uniqueness og old movies.thank you.
This is a very dark comedy. I wish someone would have turned a light on. LOL
...they forgot to pay their light bill 🤦🏼♀️
The best movies 🎥 👌 with solid acting and directing were made in the 40's....and these of music to add to the story couldn't be beat. I eould be able to tell if I would lik6thd the movie 🎥 as soon as I heard 👂 the intro music 🎶....those days are sure Long-GONE....
Morey Amsterdan wrote this. 20 yrs before Dick Van Dyke. Think he's credited with some surprising songs too.
I love Morey Amsterdam; didn't know he wrote screenplays. That was great!
Yes. :)
He also had a TV Show ....The Morey Amsterdam Show ran on CBS TV from December 1948 to March 1949 and on DuMont from April 1949 to October 1950.
He didn't write the story, he just made the book into a screenplay.
I was thinking the same thing too.
@@markevan1 It takes talent to turn a book into a movie script.
Great classic ❤
That was a good film. Funny and well acted. Thank you.
I love Sam McDaniel; he always steals the show.
Much like his sister. 😉
Great, fun , clean entertainment,. Thank you for sharing. 🌟
What a delightful little tidbit. Good clean fun for the whole family.👥👥
what a great little movie.
I love this movie. Thanks for sharing. : )
Great timepiece comedy!
If this movie was any darker I would have to watch it in braille
If this was any darker, it would be radio
Adrian Saxson That comment was HI-LARIOUS!
🤣😂
My grandfather said he remembers having that same feeling back when these were the only movies at the theater. Lol 😂😆
Omgawd.
"What I says and what I does ain't always what I do". We're all guilty of that.
That's why I never does nuttin.
"Do what I say, not what I do." My mother's favorite line. 🙄
Even if I didn't know Morey Amsterdam wrote this, I would have known Morey Amsterdam wrote it.
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
j dunn allways good in comedy or mysterys
yeeahh the hangin' scene just killed it for me...
Kinda stays with you, doesn't it.
Me too!
This is like the fourth one of these old movies I've seen where someone borrows the cold cream...😅😅😅
OMG! The beginning of the movie when they first get to the house, the whole executioner asking the Black chauffeur to put on the noose is C-R-E-E-P-Y!
Wow! What African Americans had to put up with just going to the movies!
Incredible. My jaw dropped. It was grotesque
And the writer stayed on topic, to get as much mileage from the veiled lynching innuendo as he could: "Have you ever been hung before?" and saying, " Well, you've got a nice neck for it!"
This film was 1943 and the last officially recognized lynching of a black person, 14 y/o Emmitt Till, was in 1955. Other suspected lynchings since then have been passed off as 'suicides'. Lynching wasn't even made a federal crime until March of last year. And even then, 4 members of Congress tried to keep it as just a state's issue. Easy to imagine the demographic that would still appreciate this attempt at humor today.
Great movie and just the right time here in Texas to watch it 😂
I love these movies,.
Thanks for the upload !! XD
These is Great movie 🍿 you don't desapoint at all 💚♥️♥️💜💛💜💙💚💚every time I see it it makes your smile 😘have a great day😃10 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
34:16 "This place is busier than a meat market with meat." Only those who lived in 1942 thru '45 can appreciate the significance of that statement.
What a fun little movie. And I vote for the hangman. He was always asking if you have been hanged before...And his voice is the craziest
"My wife could give an aspirin a headache...."
"Looks like a neck tie party". "Boss, if it's all the same to you, I resign". "You've ever been hanged? You have a good neck for it". DAMN! No wonder this isn't on TV. Still love the movie.
It lost me at that point. 🙄
I resent that scene...
considering was not funny at all...
sweet!Thank you!
Oh it is gorgeous! I'd be so Happy if my dad had followed through on his promise!
I seen this movie .Lved it. Thru thick nd thin. It really makes a marriage work. Plus 50 . 50. If u like humour nd blk nd white movies u like this one. Thk u for the video. Again Great Movie
Please write in English, full English. This is not a telegram platform.
@@marysylvie2012 If u dnt understand get with the program!!Not my fault. U have a gd nite.
Thanks so much
"When I hang'em they stay dead" -Everyone else "HAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Wonderful movie thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
What a great
🎬
The movie was so dark in places couldn't see the action. A real shame.
Movie needs to be restored. Way to many seens black-dark
Screenplay by Morey Amsterdam! I remember him from the Dick Van Dyke Show. 💖
It would be much keener to say “What I says & what I does ain’t always what I meant to do” now that is what I’m guilty of!
Wow ! What a statement...!🤓👍
A very funny line. 😝
SuzieQ, the problem with your suggestion -- "what I say.....ain't always what I meant to do" -- is that it fails to capture his affirmation and his confession: he is admitting was slyly deceptive and meant to be "intellectually dishonest".
I would be willing to bet that the thumbs DOWN for this movie are from folks who were turned off by the first 10-12 minutes.
You can see a lot of Morey Amsterdam in this movie, as though he wrote it for himself.
Not sure if I would keep a house given to me if someone was killed there, I am surprised this woman has no problem with that.
He didn't write the story, he just made the book into a screenplay.
I love the hangman~ "I'll never live down the disgrace!"
It’s too bad this film has deteriorated so much. It would be much more entertaining if it wasn’t so dark and sometimes blurry
Morey Amsterdam wrote this screenplay; co star, ironically as a script writer, of tv classic The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Ty for the upload. Any chance you can get Up Front (1951) & Back at the Front (1952)?
Good movie wish i could see it better
Anybody know if the author is THE Morey Amsterdam? The script seems to have his brilliant comedic back and forth and timing.
Yes, he's the one who played Buddy on the Dick Van Dyke show.
those 7 don't know a good movie when they see one
It looks like seven became more than one hundred, and they are not all fools. Maybe the "likes" are.
Florence Rice at the end,go girl!
Pleasent way to spend 56 minutes but where was the ghost?
Well a great movie .. the younger people don't get slap stck comedy at all .. now days they are use to foul language and the grabing of body parts to make their "?comedy? Funny"
Screenplay by Morey Amsterdam, cool.
Not PC, but better than average PRC Film.due to Milt Gross story & Morey Amsterdam screenplay.
💗💗💗💗
I bet all that black out was highly effective back in the day in a dark theater.
Did I miss the ghost?
what will we do for sustenance? liquor and pizza!
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you. 🍕🍕🍕

Poundland wig this guy is needs to be our leader
❤❤❤❤❤
I keep expecting Eugene Pallette to turn up.Where's Zasu Pitts?
2019?
2021
No sound.
Woman knows best until she makes a decision. Surprised back in the 1940's women even had a say I know my Mom didn't my Dad ruled the house as the large King pin with do as I say and talk only when asked.
Gloria Hanes Do you realize in the Forties when the men went off to war, the war factories and almost every job done by men of draft age were done by women. It was the decade of strong women in movies, too. They were crammed back into little wifey roles in movies and life after the war.
@@653j521 Yes, my Aunt was a riveter during WWII one of the best! She worked at record speed with complete accuracy.
I'm sorry that your father was that way. It wasn't the norm. I was fortunate to have parents who loved and respected each other.
4:11 She can deliver a telegram to me any day!
James Dunn was handsome
9:30
🎬
The most disgusting scene is the noose ... it's NAUSEATING and NOT FUNNY .
Harden up Cuck
That guy making the noose is a jerk. Referring to the chaffuer. About his neck in the noose.😠
Blame the writer.
lol....
I suppose this was meant to comic.
i read all your comments, and I couldn't understand the humor? I'm just sayin, I know it was GREAT at the time, but I don't get it
Asking a Black Man if he'd ever been hanged, especially for the 1930's, isn't 21st century political correctness, but it was sure a funny movie. That old geezer was sure wanting to stay in practice with his hanging trade.
Doug Hendereson 1943.
If it can be never be you,
You'll never understand...
ikeit
The running joke involving the hangman and Black chauffeur is incredibly, 1942, racist.
That was a corny movie! They could've left the lynching stuff out though, very insulting!
Bad filming
The only thing funny about this movie is the blonde.
I don't see how this is a comedy. There's nothing funny about it.
it could just be you. sometimes you need a sense of humor.
You're just a stick in the mud.
A comedy this not. Not any good, either. Don’t waste your time.
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
This is so totally racist. I realize it's another era, but the movie is just disgusting.
there are plenty of really good films of that era, but this one has a crude film- noir sophomore dialog & storyline and looks to be a Grade C studio product shot on very low budget.
Wha i see no racism. Just good acting.
I suppose this counted as a comedy, to American audiences; after all so did the Lucy show!👎
It's a whole lot better than the smut they put out nowadays!
This was corny even for 1943. Written by Morey Amsterdam.
I can't believe over 1700 people have viewed at least some of this movie without anyone giving it a thumbs down. That's all over now. Phew, the movie stinks as bad as the house and cow shit.
😊GRINS and GIGGLES😂 👍 💚 🤍 ❤️
'She'll give an aspirin a headache!' LOL
