I LOOOVE these old movies. And, often times the comments are so interesting. I adore the clothing, the tailored suits, the furs, how men wore suits, hats, and overcoats. It just brings back my youth.
Why don't men wear hats anymore with their suits? Those hats (fedora?) were fantastically flattering and protected the head from weather, sun etc. I read that JFK went hatless and that started the fashion trend. He was probably proud of his thick hair! But it was a net fashion loss.
@@lupesizeer2508 That's very glamourous! I've got to admire you. The only jacket I wear when reading in bed, is a hoody. Definitely not glamourous, but it keeps me warm, and cosy on cold Canadian winter nights.
@@jubalcalif9100 You comment: "He (Dane Clark) was no Huntz Hall"??? Like Huntz Hall from The Bowery Boys, was on par with the great star of stage and screen, Sir Lawrence Olivier.
All right ! I haven't seen this movie in years!. I used to watch this movie with dad on the all night movies. Dad used to make a midnight snack of bologna and cheese sandwiches , barbeque potato chips and Hires Root Beer. This movie used to come on Channel 11 , KTTV , Los Angeles on the all night movies. "Go see Cal , Go see Cal , Go see Cal"! If you're a native Southern Californian of the Baby Boomer generation , you'll know what I mean!
@@shawnmalone9711 There was a guy that used to present horror/sci-fi movies on (I think) Friday night. The cheesy 1950's ones. And he'd interrupt the movie with his comments about "Look at those rocks - they're styrofoam!" and stuff like that, cracked us up! The movies were bad but the guy was great...do you know who I'm referring to?
@@acehandler1530 Hmmmmm... I think so... If it was the late 1960s , early 1970s it was probably Sinister Seymour. He had a show on Fridays and Saturday nights. Seymour Presents was on KHJ , Channel 9 , Los Angeles. He made campy comments about the turkeys he was showing. He used to tell viewers Why waste your time watching these awful movies. You would be better off going on a date or bowling. He went to KTLA , Channel 5 , Los Angeles in the mid 1970s and it was called " Monster Rally." Seymour died of stomach cancer in 1975. Google Sinister Seymour , Larry Vincent. There are articles about Seymour on line. Go to TH-cam and Google Sinister Seymour. There isn't any footage of him but people taped parts of the show on tape.
@@shawnmalone9711 Yes! That's the guy, I remember him telling the viewing audience to quit watching this crap like you said. I was at Whittier College at the time, 1971/72.
Dane Clark extremely. Underrated actor. Always enjoyed him as a kid watching late night old movies while babysitting. A staple in my formative years. Thank you for the wonderful memories. They bring back a time when things were more gentle and naive. Love watching them again.
Nice little noir ! Thanks for uploading the whole movie for us to enjoy. Good script & cast. Love these "B" crime pictures from the late 40s & early 50s. Virginia's nosy neighbor (Phoebe) was played by veteran character actress Kathryn Card, who played Lucy's ditzy mother (Mrs. McGillicuddy) on the classic 50s sitcom "I Love Lucy".
Indeed they do look like a perfect pair. However, that just proves what a good actor Tom Drake really was. Especially, since I read that he was a "deeply closeted gay guy."
Cathy O’Donnell played in Ben Hur as Charleston Heston’s little sister. To me that was one of the greatest movies ever made. I really liked this movie too. Tom Drake played in Meet Me In St. Louis. He played the boy next door. He was Judy Garland’s love interest. Dane Clark was a great actor. He has the gift of acting and makes the characters believable. Some actors are born with that gift and he’s one of them.
Kept wondering why the title until I realized how completely Dane Clark had fooled me. Good movie. Cathy O'Donnell was quite convincing in conveying her predicament.
Thanks for this movie. I loved the way there were different stories interacting. The 'murderer' was trying to protect a friend and get back with his wife, and the police were just going about their business by the book. A nice change from other film noir. And I love film noir! But his was different, and that was cool :)
Cathy O'Donnell, 26 years old here, made her screen debut in the 1946 blockbuster "The Best Years of Our Lives" (won seven Oscars including Best Picture) three years before this. That really propelled her career and she had roles in other classics, mostly noir, such as "They Live By Night" and "Detective Story" as well as many roles in television productions, the last of which was on "Bonanza" in the episode "The Lila Conrad Story" in 1964. Sadly, she died from cancer six years later at the age of 46.
Absolute classic... These old noir American crime movies are far more enjoyable than modern movies with all their ridiculous special effects... And WOW MOWING THE LAWN FULLY BOOTED AND SUITED..... CRAZY MAN 😂👍
They wore suits and coats all the time because there were very limited clothing options and clothes were expensive. My grandfather wore one suit his entire adulthood.
@@gardensenglishanddance They (men) did not wear suits all the time. They had more casual cotton shirts, and trousers that they wore, and denim dungarees (blue jeans) for after work, and weekends, and chores around the house, and if they worked in a factory. However, if they were going downtown, or to the movies, or a nightclub, it seems that whatever their social class, or income they always wore suits. As for women, they never wore pants except for leisure, always skirts and blouses, and dresses, and both sexes always wore a hat.
Great for me the way things are going I'm going stick to all the old films. I don't think I'm missing anything. I think they depict the human condition far better than today. great stories and no need for loads of explosive action. They have a quality in the actors bring to the screen that compels the spectator and makes the spectator think . brilliant

I saw Ms. O'Donnell for the first time in 1958 "Terror on the Haunted House" along with Gerald Mohr. She came across as a gentle person. For her short career, she made some impressive movies. At 24 years old, she married 47 year old Robert Wyler the elder brother of director William Wyler on April 11, 1948. She died on her 22nd wedding anniversary April 11, 1970 of cancer related cerebral hemmorrhage following a long illness. Her husband died 9 months later. The couple had no children. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV April 05, 2019
1958, (I was born December 20th, in Chicago) ...and then there's Las Vegas, I lived there 17 years. Raised my son there. I had a truly classic life there, common in one sense and uncommon in another, a true local. I literally could write a book. An executive in Corporate America, traveled frequently with my job, and my then husband, a local celebrity (remains so) and was managed by Sinatra's people. Good people, many good friends and truly real friends (the closest have passed on, but remain part of who I am) It will always be a special (space and time). Warmest regards and most positive energies to you.
Mr22thou Thank goodness. Suits are so uncomfortable. I used to wear them to work, in the '80s, with hose and heels. Never again, not even to church! Lol
All b/w movies from the 30s-50s that has criminal content are not necessarily film noir. The genre is limited to those films that contain multiple aspects from a basket of features such as the lighting, local (usually urban), dialog, and a particular mood they create, as well as other traits. It seems many are too quick to label an old black and white movies "noir" simply because it may have a murder or contain criminal behavior.
Re-watching so many old films that I recognize uncredited bit actors. The bus driver's wife here 27:20 played Effie the maid in "In a Lonely Place" (1950), Ruth Warren.
Great movie! although the title kinda gives things away. I was upset they didn't put a bucket down to save the carpet. Nice fluid camera work; fine set piece ending. The implied but not seen kiss at the end helped to hold back on the sentimentality - a fantastic touch!
There were plenty of scumbags in American and all over in the world in the 50s. But the production code was in effect and movies were prohibited from showing things as they really were. Scumbags have always been around.....from the beginning of the world. And will be till the end of the world. Humans are not perfect.
when he left her home, Clark didn't tell her where he was going----yet she goes to his apartment in a following scene---how did she know?---who cares, I can't get enough of Cathy O---she always brings out my savior complex

Do you mean God should bless only people in USA or do you mean all of North America, which would include Canadians, or do you wish God to bless even people in Middle America and South America? Or is it OK for you if God blesses everyone in the world?
@@chridmann1628 Dunce. Not mentioning EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE F***ING WORLD IN EVERY STATEMENT does not mean that such people should not be blessed. There are more than two possibilities. The poster is free to say what she wants to say. You exhibit typical snowflake mentality. Stop whining.
I thought for a while that Tom Drake was related to Charles Drake (of 'Harvey' fame). But not according to IMDB, haha. In the previous movie 'Gambler and the Lady', Dane Clark also starred, this time surviving the gunfight at the end, haha.
Bobby D was a true Star and literally the talent that could have been the only true challenge to Sinatra. I was good friends with Bobby's Conductor, "Bob Rosario", the most genuine of indviduals. Ya have good taste.
Thats Tom Drake, probably best known as Judy Garlands boyfriend in Meet Me in St. Louis. He obviously had some good roles, but never became a star and had to support himself as a car salesman.
@@pa3997 That's true. He made few major feature films in the 50s & 60s. His 70s feature films were mostly low budget movies. He did appear as a guest star on many TV series over the years. Sadly, he passed away from lung cancer in 1982 at the age of only 64. I always thought he had a really great voice. Would have done very well during the Golden Age of Radio.
Well I don't know about that. Plenty of unsolved crimes over the years. For instance, the Hooterville police once reported their toilet was stolen. Turns out they had nothing to go on.....
I am so sorry that Tom Drake, who was a nice actor with beautiful voice, didn't make it to the big leagues of the cinema. He was also in The Green Years and in the very nice Mr. Belvedere Goes To College. God bless him.
Inflation!! How times have changed since 1951! The garage attendant can't offer change from a twenty dollar bill! Doh! Next time I mow my front lawn, I'll wear my suit.
Dammit this movie! I was hoping he wasn't crooked and was really trying to get back together with her and was trying to help his friend. Many of these old movies show the audience who's crooked but the people involved with them don't know what they're up to. At the beginning he seems honest. Great picture but sad that he wanted her dead to save himself.
Maybe the mercy was faster. My uncle had a 49 Mercury. Looked like it was lost at the factory. You talk about armour plated. I took it for a drive without his permission ran over a couple of guardrail stopped to checkout the damage there was none. Was 16 and thought my life was over if my uncle had caught me. That car was fast and built like a Sherman tank. Impressed the hell out of me. Smile.

a cautionary tale for ladies who lov outlaws
Indeed. But there will always be women who are intrigued by "bad boys".
Don't forget to eat well fellow quarantined people. It is good fir one's mental health too. God bless everyone in America.
Do you mean God should bless only people in USA or do you mean all of North America, which would include Canadians, or do you wish God to bless even people in Middle America and South America? Or is it OK for you if God blesses everyone in the world?
@@chridmann1628 Dunce. Not mentioning EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE F***ING WORLD IN EVERY STATEMENT does not mean that such people should not be blessed. There are more than two possibilities. The poster is free to say what she wants to say. You exhibit typical snowflake mentality. Stop whining.

I was a child in the 1940's and remember gas was seventeen cents a gallon
There were always big signs by the gas stations
Yes indeed, Sra.
Even in the 60s when I was a kid, gas was still under 40 cents a gallon.
I thought for a while that Tom Drake was related to Charles Drake (of 'Harvey' fame). But not according to IMDB, haha. In the previous movie 'Gambler and the Lady', Dane Clark also starred, this time surviving the gunfight at the end, haha.
Thanks🌹
Sergeant Donovan looks like Bobby Darin ...he's handsome.
Bobby D was a true Star and literally the talent that could have been the only true challenge to Sinatra.
I was good friends with Bobby's Conductor, "Bob Rosario", the most genuine of indviduals.
Ya have good taste.
Thats Tom Drake, probably best known as Judy Garlands boyfriend in Meet Me in St. Louis. He obviously had some good roles, but never became a star and had to support himself as a car salesman.
@@pa3997 That's true. He made few major feature films in the 50s & 60s. His 70s feature films were mostly low budget movies. He did appear as a guest star on many TV series over the years. Sadly, he passed away from lung cancer in 1982 at the age of only 64. I always thought he had a really great voice. Would have done very well during the Golden Age of Radio.
That copper pushing his luck,a good hit from Steve, and the mirror moved when she got the paper, unsound house.!
My husband always says.... You can't outsmart the police. They always piece things together
Well I don't know about that. Plenty of unsolved crimes over the years. For instance, the Hooterville police once reported their toilet was stolen. Turns out they had nothing to go on.....
I am so sorry that Tom Drake, who was a nice actor with beautiful voice, didn't make it to the big leagues of the cinema. He was also in The Green Years and in the very nice Mr. Belvedere Goes To College. God bless him.
She left the key in the door...those were much safer days.
thank you
Inflation!! How times have changed since 1951! The garage attendant can't offer change from a twenty dollar bill! Doh! Next time I mow my front lawn, I'll wear my suit.
Our gardener wears an Armani suite....and I must say, he looks QUITE spiffy !
I hope that old man at the shipyard isn't killed😮😥
Great film. The ending is cute.
Akua Hinds as are you
Thanks, Phillip. :)
Dammit this movie! I was hoping he wasn't crooked and was really trying to get back together with her and was trying to help his friend. Many of these old movies show the audience who's crooked but the people involved with them don't know what they're up to. At the beginning he seems honest. Great picture but sad that he wanted her dead to save himself.
I just moved in @ don’t have a tv yet ?
But my phone has all
Types of great movies ?
Opening scene, the cops are driving a '49-'50 Ford. By 2:20 they've upgraded to a Mercury.
Lol...i wouldn't call going from a ford to a mercury an upgrade..ford to a Lincoln? Now ya got something...🚗
Well a Mercury is better than a plain Ford, But the point is they switched cars in the filming.
Maybe the mercy was faster. My uncle had a 49 Mercury. Looked like it was lost at the factory. You talk about armour plated. I took it for a drive without his permission ran over a couple of guardrail stopped to checkout the damage there was none. Was 16 and thought my life was over if my uncle had caught me. That car was fast and built like a Sherman tank. Impressed the hell out of me. Smile.
The police dept's budget must have been increased......
Great film but SURELY somebody must have noticed the cigarette smell in her flat particularly when she didn't smoke !!!
