Thank you for being a long time subscriber. I thought I would try it again now that the copyright system is a little more fair. I'm only uploading things I don't see already on TH-cam. TH-cam blocked about 80% of the ones I tried uploading this week. So I'm not sure how much I will be able to put up.
An atmospheric gem! Although the plot is nonsensical it’s performed with style and commitment! How splendid to finally see this forgotten but impressive film at last!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for subscribing. I have hundreds of old UK TV shows/movies that are Unlisted(you won't find through TH-cam search, but you can locate & watch them through my all my Playlists on this channel. (Helps keep the copyright claims at bay a tad longer)
Hysterically funny in places. "My brother was killed four weeks ago, mother hasn't got over it yet!" is one of the best lines I've heard in a long time.
Thanks for posting this. I first saw this in 1974 on our local television station's " Shock Theater ". I didn't see it again till the original (AMC)American Movie Classics ran it during their Halloween Fest. I have an old VHS version from that broadcast. A great gem with a great cast. Thanks again.
Thanks for the great movie! I am a writer and theatre guy, so the opening scenes especially brought back so many memories. I kind of guessed where the story was going after Edward Grey got hit in the head 😁
Many thanks for posting this little nostalgic gem! I truly enjoyed watching it (first time viewing) - although I was born in '78, I sort of feel a strange nostalgia about films of/and set in the 1940s ,'50s, '60s, etc... (and some people say that nostalgia can act as life's most powerful drug, haha!..😉) Cheers and greetings from Belgium🇧🇪!! 👍
Born 52 in Brighron. Then 4yrs in London and off to Wales. Childhood in Land of my fathers and then back to London. Then back to Wales. Still have a softspot for Brighton were the funny people go !!!. ❤ Thanks for the memorry. Dave
The American lingo of the 40's is so different now. If fact Americans of today probably couldn't understand all of it . A different kind of movie. Very good.
Brighton looks very Cornish with the rugged cliffs (rather more dramatic than the actual road to Peacehaven) and the air-raid must have interrupted the prestige electric train service from London (a chugging steam engine?) BUT the feel of the air-raid and the blackout seemed pretty authentic and, actually, it was a highly enjoyable film. Thanks for posting this little gem. A few reminders (coastal scene) and waitress in pub at 01.:06hrs remind me of "My name is Julia Ross" which was made around the same time. Both shot in the U.S. but with creditable attempts at an English "feel".
It was filmed in California, and London, hence the “British feel.” 😂 It was also filmed in California, R.K.O. Studios in L.A. Those cliffs were probably in California! 😂🤣
@@chicagogyrl4846 Yes indeed. Same as in "My Name is Julia Ross" filmed around the same time there is some dramatic coastal scenery, on that occasion meant to be Cornwall but still somehow with a touch of the Pacific coastline about it. 😆
Super! Please do get the British film Black Limelight or also known as Footsteps in the sand 1939. 🙏🏼. Many thanks for these fantastic films of an era long lost.

Was that the left lugguage murder? I read a bit more about the 'Brighton Trunk Murders' and see it was before the forties. The first murder was discovered on 17 June 1934. So not a Blitz Time murder. Can you give a link or better reference for collectors of famemouse murders or Law Students.
@MikeGreenwood51 No, I think vixtex was referring to the case of Gordon Cummins. Type that name into Wikipedia and you'll find that he was a London-based serial killer in World War 2.
I don't understand. Her American boyfriend said that she was English, but she said that she left home to join the WACS. Shouldn't that be the WRENS? Unless this is a dream, this movie cannot have a happy ending.
Our school in the Sixties and seventies had German Sirens. Likely the same volumn as the one in the film. I still have access to photos of it as well as a recording. th-cam.com/video/WEDNTVqorew/w-d-xo.html
This film is listed as American, but it has a German director and a German and a British writers. The actors are British except for the awful American serviceman. Maybe the writers were having a joke about him thinking that American slang is real English.
You're lucky to watch it on TH-cam at all. It rarely gets uploaded or stays up long. Thankfully most people appreciate my efforts. It will be private again soon. Can't wait to see your higher resolution one.
"'A Joint' when refering to an indoor location, is slange. Not proper USA English but lower class, street talk of the not properly educated." Ironic, isn't it?
@@SBCBears USA English is full of slang often. Just as much as USA Gangster slang. In that sense it is like English English as some of the fiction (Charles Dickens) who ventured to those lower regions to write of; used the slang or underworld jargon in-use at the times and for all that sinfullness he grew far more popular. Script writers and story writers have for more than a century being using poor English or rotten English to help them to earnings from their literature. Though I can not say it is a good thing. I do like a bit of hard boiled noir such as we may find in Raymond Chandlers novels. Sam Spade and Phillip Marlow etc.
I don't always have the time to add a movie description so I allow others to be helpful and add one in the comments for me. When I don't offer a movie description, then I get a ton of complaints asking for one. When I offer a description, I get complaints. If you watch films on my channel, it would probably be better to not read the comments first.
Was that when you were a babe or pre adult life? Because if you watch enough 'Peter Lorrie' you may eventually come to the conclusion there is something a little bit slighty about his accent. 'A little bit slighty' is maybe an understatement. Slighty and a bit sinister. Two characteristics of speeh which may suggest to the older person a person not to be trusted. What I wrote is a credit to Mr. Lorrie as: as often as not he intended his accent to sound chillingly non trustable. An accent which could be on tape and used in Madame Tussauds Museum. Not because it is a pleasant trustable accent but because of it's darker more evil accent.
A great movie, many thanks. These older films are so much better than the modern stuff we often see and no vulgar language.
I am 73 and I had never seen this movie. Thank you for this good movie, and a very clear print, too...!!!

She just stood there, and said no, no, don't kill me...without running!!
That's called "scared stiff"
The *freeze* response. It happens!
Actors in these kinds of movies are required to check their fight or flight reflex AND their survival instinct at the door. :)
Fight, flight, freeze and fawn are the four evolutionarily learned responses to a threat.
The American lingo of the 40's is so different now. If fact Americans of today probably couldn't understand all of it . A different kind of movie. Very good.

It is a very famous film for Murder of the most foul.

I know places change over time but I've never seen those cliffs in the Brighton area and I've lived here for25+ years 😂
That’s because this movie was filmed in California, and in London! 😂🤣
Sounds like a German air raid siren- " in London!".

I was really hoping he wouldn't have been a killer, just try or just almost. But dang, not really do it. His poor fiance.
