I agree! They dressed with class and flair, danced better, sang better. There was romance without nudity, there was no profanity, and the stories were interesting. 💁🏼
I love how easy it always is to break into a heavy wooden door. The way they were built in those days, you'd practically need a Sherman tank to get in.
This has to be one of the greatest movies of its type ever made. Seriously. I've watched it so many times that I feel like I'm a blood relative of some of the cast and a working associate of the others. The butler and I went through the same training. I was a police officer with McDonald & Curtin. Frank Baldrich and I have been friends since our High School days, and I introduced him to Linda, his future wife. Steve and I have been friendly competitors as authors for many years. Larry Dearden and I are brothers. I've known Dr. Carroll for many years, ever since he treated my first gunshot wound. I helped Milton Parsons get his job as chauffeur for Frank Baldrich. I really liked Nan, but I stepped aside in favor of Larry, who adored her since childhood. I liked Jerry, and I really liked Peggy, but I gave my heart to Betty, even though she's a real screwball. And that's all simultaneously. Now, don't tell me that that isn't a skilled presentation for the viewer!
First saw this as a kid in the early 70's. Saturday nights at midnight was the time for Horror Incorporated, our local horror show hosted by Dr. Paul Bearer. Used to see all these old Universal horror and mystery films. Created a love for these 30's and 40's flicks.
3:55 I can't get enough of that song. I've tried to find it available, but no luck. One more place to look. I would buy it-I love it that much. LOL. Thank you for this upload. One of my favorites. (I mean Anne Gwynne's version of this song).
That isn't Anne Gwynne singing. She was dubbed by Martha Tilton. Get on your Search line and type in 'Martha Tilton One Starry Night' and you'll have it in a moment.
@@leelarson107 : It's not that simple I'm afraid. I have 5 Martha Tilton CDs. Yet, One Starry Night is on none of them. I searched all over the internet for it, (cd version). It's an illusive track, proving very difficult to locate !
I appreciate and love these old potboilers. People needed to be uplifted a bit by a fantasy apart from their own existance... from the depression on into the Second World War. The music from this time is most welcoming.
Oh thank you so much for using that wonderful word POTBOILERS! I love hearing it, because my mom and relatives would use it, and it brought back good memories of them, plus a few chuckles of that funny word ( potboilers).
They CAN'T make anything like this anymore. Today everything has to be 'woke', 'politically correct', and strictly conformed to a degenerate social order.
"Larry" was played by Bill MacWilliams. He was the husband of Barbara Hale, "Della Street" on "The Perry Mason Show", and the father of William Katt, "The Greatest American Hero". He changed his name to Bill Williams, removing the "Mac".
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 Toy with the name long enough and it will evoke memories of that old song about 'Angus MacFergus MacTavish MacGregor Campbell Dundee'.
We could learn from our past, just look at the way people respected and had manners, especially for women, very respectful of the way they treat women and each other.
Not bad for a 1940's remake, but the version of a decade earlier is more of a Gothic mystery--THE SECRET OF THE BLUE ROOM. A second version dates from 1938 (HALLIWELL'S FILM GUIDE). I wish the print used here had been better; it looks like a copy of a copy.
I've seen at least 3 versions of this movie, some serious, some tongue-in-cheek. Enjoyed them all. Secret of The Blue Room made in 1933, The Missing Guest (1938) and this one, Murder In The Blue Room (1944) All 3 were made by Universal.
Wow this movie is good! I just watched it with my kids and WOW this movie is good! Really REALLY Good. The fact there actually was a ghost who had NOTHING to do with the shenanigans, and was polite as ever. Genius. Absolutely brilliant film.
@@leelarson107 : i think I understand the motive of making unpopular remarks, but, I respect the remark anyway as one of our freedoms. So I'll like it!
Did anyone ever figure out how someone could rig a single electrical cable into a standard piano to make it operate like a player piano? Check out the film at 7:50 and watch it.
@@bigtwit799 No, but wimps like you give it a comic touch. I think chewing gum is repulsive, but you don't mind that, do you? Think of what you do to your body when you drink coffee. You have a particular complaint about smoking, and I would suspect that you're an ex-smoker yourself. Right?
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT! So, let me get this right. Even AFTER the doctor told Larry that Nan was his half-sister, Larry wanted to impress Nan with his bravery by staying the night in the Blue Room, therefore wanted to boink his sis?
SSHHHH..........the viewer isn't supposed to notice that. But note that Larry himself didn't know about his father until close to his own death. And check out the murder followed by the murderer getting killed, and then everyone is all smiles. Hey, this is Hollywood.
Had been looking 4 this movie for over 20 yrs since seeing it on satellite long ago.i bought the dvd and wat h it practically daily . just love it and tne Jazee belles made the movie .I also have guest is Missing ,?¿?and Se re t of blue room but this is the best. They don't make them li!e this anymore so refreshing g and entertaining..Thank u 4 putting this on where
Anybody out there with electronic skills? How could that piano (it's not a player piano) be rigged with one single wire from the basement to play funereal music? Always wondered about that (while lusting after 'The Three Jazzybelles').
Speaking of complaints, was there a second song cut out of the film? Those three girls wouldn't have come all that way out in the boonies for one number.
This is a great movie star's are good too , Dusty William's , John stern , Cathy Smith , Charlie Chan , Sherlock Holmes , Mary cocks , Barbra chuntmem . She's double talkin, the cops witch is so funny .
I'VE SEEN THOSE THREE SISTERS IN OTHER OLD MOVIES. I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ THEIR ROUTINES. THEY WERE INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND 👏 SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED WAY WAY MORE THAN THEY WERE. THEY WERE SO VERY HILARIOUS, BUT COULD BE GRACEFUL BEFORE THEY MADE YOU 😄 😆 🤣 😅 LAUGH. NOT ONLY AT THE WAY THEY CARRIED ON ON STAGE, BUT LISTEN TO THE WORDS THEY WERE SINGING AND SOME WORDS DIDN'T EXIST, JUST NONSENSE SONGS, BUT YOU'D HAVE TO BE A STONE STATUE TO NOT BUT BUST A GUT LAUGHING.
Martha Tilton dubbed the vocals for Anne Gwynne in the beginning, but who dubbed for the three entertainers? At about 12:20 their voices sound like their three-part harmony was pieced together from three different recordings. But, not worry, I still like the girls, and my split personality could gladly handle all three of them. **I wish.
I first saw this movie in 1944 when I was 8 years old, and have never forgotten it. It scared me to death then, now, it is so corny. I just love it. Thanks for the memories.
Love these old horror comedy mystery quite intriguing classics... Modern movies have nothing on these old beauties... Great way to while away an hour on Sunday afternoon. Thanks for the upload 😁
The sad thing about these movies is that theses people that played in them are no longer with us.... I usually look up the names to find out there history..... God Bless them for all there talent
Since i was a kid in the 1980's i've loved stuff like Laurel and Hardy, Will Hay etc, i just regret leaving it until now to start seeing so many other old films. I'm just not a fan of modern films. Generally i think after about the early 90's there were very few good films made, thanks to youtube channels like this we have the chance to see so many classics from the 40's, 50's etc. Thank you.
Anne Gwynne (Universal's 2nd string scream queen after Evelyn ankers) is gorgeous in this .. I'm sorry but I can live without the Jazz Belle's musical numbers LOL tho the Joan Davis looking one is very funny, otherwise pretty good remake of the more chilling serious original version SECRET OF THE BLUE ROOM ('33)
Attention, everyone. I intend to run for President in 2024. The idea is to turn the clock back to about 1940, start over, and this time get it right. *And maybe we can catch Dr. Carroll before he shoots Larry.
TY for this entertaining movie~I just love old b&w comedies like this w/multiple murder suspects, spooky houses w/secret passenges & missing guests! No big stars & cheesy acting, but lots of FUN!
I would extend that 'grand period' into the early 1960's, but after that it was straight downhill with the nude scenes, the foul language, and the 'politically correct' themes.
This has a solid script. Notice the writer's credit for I.A.L. Diamond--he teamed with Billy Wilder for SUNSET BOULEVARD, to name just one. Anything he wrote is worth a look.
I'm surprised that I remembered this movie from my childhood. I was about 13 or 14 when I first saw it. My mother turned me on to it. I totally loved it then & still love it now. It was a scary, haunted, murder mystery with secret passageways & singers, the Andrew Sisters. It's an awesome show!
The three girls were not the Andrew Sisters. They were three seperate women entertainers, just check the cast at the end. Besides, this movie's budget could not afford the AS in 1944, they were big stars.
This is such a good movie. So well put together, with the ghost, all the spooky things going on, the thread of humour running through, the three girls performing at any given moment, murder and mystery and a couple of overzealous cops who couldn't untie a pair of pyjamas between them. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
1944 woow old and still good , the best bw movie's ,, i would like to have a time machine i would go back in time . I know that a world war was on at that time buy people like the 3 girl's did a great job to make people smile .
I really like Regis Toomey also. Maybe the most famous movies were some of the Capra films like Meet John Doe. (He actually once played a romantic lead in the 30’s but I can’t remember the title.)
Ya, it is a cute movie, humorous and even mysterious...were people really that relaxed and easy going in life those days? Now I am unable to come out of a regular movie without a heavy head, or ringing ears, and usually unhappy heart. And the dances...wow, they are good. I was amazed at the 'martial arts' moves. Thanks, srm818. You have great tastes.
You've just explained why I no longer go to 'the movies'. It's all sex scenes and foul language to make up for weak scripts and poor acting skills. The violence, however, is too deeply ingrained in people everywhere to ever be deleted. Look at a Roy Rogers movie, where there is plenty of action, gunfire, and horses, and without the nudity and rotten language. His movies are classics, while last week's blockbuster will be forgotten in a year or two and the cast members will probably be in AA, rehab, jail, or divorce court.
I’m pretty sure that was the way they lived i sometime wish that it would be nice being born in the cowboy days and the roaring twenties if only i had known that i was going to live this long i would have done Things a lot different but my days growing i wouldn’t have it no other way I’m all of 69 and a half
Handsome Bill Williams was married to stunning Barbara Hall. Believe they had a number of children when he became very ill. Barbara stayed by his side for many years. Bill passed away at a young age. Barbara went on to act in films and tv shows in roles like Perry Mason's secretary. She only passed away a few years ago in her 90's.
Yes I recognized Miss Street's husband from his voice. He was very young in this movie but still looked the same. Correction however, Bill died at 77 years old, maybe you were looking at how long they were married which was 46 years.
That's Barbara HALE, not Hall. They had three children, one of whom was William Katt, who played Paul Drake in some of the later, feature-length Perry Mason specials. Katt was Bill Williams' real last name, and so his son used that, instead of Williams. Bill Williams was also on horseback, as Kit Carson, 1951-55 in the TV series.
I think the script writers ran out of plot lines and decided to make the three female singers the focus of the second half of the movie, turning it into a musical comedy. In the end, the writers decided pin it all on the doctor and have Steve give the audience a quick explanation as to the reason for the first murder and Larry's subsequent murder. Not a good movie.
IMDB says this movie was originally set to have the Ritz Bros. These girls replaced them. The girls were a much better choice. I have tried to watch the Ritz Bros, but I just do not care for them.
Yes Kathleen Great Britain. Europe. The Channel Islands also were bombed out. Civilians separated. Children sent away from parents for their own safety. Thanks to all servicemen of all nationalities for their service. Nurses. Firewardens. Land girls .
I love these old movies! Today's special effects can't even compare. I choose oldies every time.
I agree! They dressed with class and flair, danced better, sang better. There was romance without nudity, there was no profanity, and the stories were interesting. 💁🏼

So many costume changes for the singing trio in one little suitcase.
Yes, I caught that at about the same time you did. Probably makes it simpler as they arrive and leave from the mansion.
So much fun and so much talent. Love the clothes and the scary house. Thank you for so much entertainment.
This was a fun movie. It's a shame the Jazzybelles didn't make more movies, they made a great comedy team.
They're a blatant take-off from The Andrews Sisters, and that was part of the charm. Besides, they're prettier.
"Larry" was played by Bill MacWilliams. He was the husband of Barbara Hale, "Della Street" on "The Perry Mason Show", and the father of William Katt, "The Greatest American Hero". He changed his name to Bill Williams, removing the "Mac".

Thanks, srm818. You have great tastes.
You've just explained why I no longer go to 'the movies'. It's all sex scenes and foul language to make up for weak scripts and poor acting skills. The violence, however, is too deeply ingrained in people everywhere to ever be deleted. Look at a Roy Rogers movie, where there is plenty of action, gunfire, and horses, and without the nudity and rotten language. His movies are classics, while last week's blockbuster will be forgotten in a year or two and the cast members will probably be in AA, rehab, jail, or divorce court.
I’m pretty sure that was the way they lived i sometime wish that it would be nice being born in the cowboy days and the roaring twenties if only i had known that i was going to live this long i would have done Things a lot different but my days growing i wouldn’t have it no other way I’m all of 69 and a half
Those girls really knew how to dance and they are all so beautiful
I i i found a gun
"always the death of the party aren't you Larry" haha
Handsome Bill Williams was married to stunning Barbara Hall. Believe they had a number of children when he became very ill. Barbara stayed by his side for many years. Bill passed away at a young age. Barbara went on to act in films and tv shows in roles like Perry Mason's secretary. She only passed away a few years ago in her 90's.
Yes I recognized Miss Street's husband from his voice. He was very young in this movie but still looked the same. Correction however, Bill died at 77 years old, maybe you were looking at how long they were married which was 46 years.
That's Barbara HALE, not Hall. They had three children, one of whom was William Katt, who played Paul Drake in some of the later, feature-length Perry Mason specials. Katt was Bill Williams' real last name, and so his son used that, instead of Williams. Bill Williams was also on horseback, as Kit Carson, 1951-55 in the TV series.
BAD BAG: Bill Williams lived 1915 to 1992, dying at age 77 from brain cancer.
is that what they said? is that what they sai? ha ha ha
Loved this film! Especially the song and dance numbers.
I think the script writers ran out of plot lines and decided to make the three female singers the focus of the second half of the movie, turning it into a musical comedy. In the end, the writers decided pin it all on the doctor and have Steve give the audience a quick explanation as to the reason for the first murder and Larry's subsequent murder. Not a good movie.
IMDB says this movie was originally set to have the Ritz Bros. These girls replaced them. The girls were a much better choice. I have tried to watch the Ritz Bros, but I just do not care for them.
Very enjoyable film. Thanks for posting it. 🎹🎶📽️🎬
Yes Kathleen Great Britain. Europe. The Channel Islands also were bombed out. Civilians separated. Children sent away from parents for their own safety. Thanks to all servicemen of all nationalities for their service. Nurses. Firewardens. Land girls .
