Art deco chairs, lamp, and table. :) In American or British movies of this era, art deco was usually only shown in hotels, penthouses, and swanky nightclubs. While many like it today, in its own time it wasn't very popular. People might have an item or two but not do up a whole room that way. Interior designers practically sneered at it as cheap manufactured goods. France is where many of our art deco antiques come from now.
@k thanks for the interesting facts
Leslie Fenton was actually English and moved to the US when he was a young boy. However, at the outbreak of WWII, he returned to England with his wife, (Hollywood star Ann Dvorak) and he enlisted in the Royal Navy. He took part in the commando raid on St Nazaire in 1942, one of the mot daring raids of the entire war in which 5 Victoria Crosses were awarded. Fenton was a commander of one of the flimsy motor launches sent in to try and evacuate the commandos and he was wounded in the action He survived and out of the 612 men that took part in the action, he was one of only 228 that made it back to England. He returned to Hollywood after the war, but more as a director rather than an actor. Most actors only play heroes. He was a real hero.
Thanks🌹
Thank you so much for this information! That reminds me of Leslie Howard heroism in WW ll. I love it!!

Wow, thank you for this.
Lovely old mystery in super quality, with allowances for age. Gosh she is lovely!
A great old movie, held one in suspense until unfolded towards the end. Great quality in acting and of the film itself.
For a 1936 movie the picture quality was excellent.
John Baginski i wonder what the oldest black and white talking movie is. And what is the name of it. I saw plenty of silent movies made before 1920. I love those too
very right sir.. not only the pic quality but also the story.. love old movies much better than the new ones who are full of violence, yucky bloody murders, cannibals, zombies etc... old movies are healthy to minds with good moral lessons as well and most of the time they make me cry so much lol
@@ChildofGodforevr The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolsen famous for the song Mammie which he sings in the movie.
@@maritesangeles9955 Amen! Back in the day when everyone had a healthy respect and reverence for God and they were entirely obedient to God, even the evil and wicked people knew they were evil and wicked, and what the consequences of their perditious ways were leading them towards: eternal damnation.
Sheri Stewart You most certainly need a therapist.
Rather unbelievable especially how Scotland Yard handled it all...but hey enjoyable in a strange way...ha ha love the old movies the furniture and the clothes are great to see and thanks for supplying us with them :)
thank you for posting, I enjoy these old movies better than anything that`s come out of hollywood in the last 30 years or so....
Very good, I enjoyed it! I love the suits (with vests!), the crisply folded breastpocket hankies, and fedora hats! Maybe crooks were just as crooked then, but they seemed so polite! 😉 Thank you.
well they still dress nice, but now we call them Senator and Judge and FBI Agent......
@@dave-in-nj9393 LMHO!
And smoking, how I loved smoking!
Yes, amazingly polite... Even when they say things like keep your trap shut, before I pump you full of lead! LOL

I really enjoy these old movies. Thank you for sharing it.
absolute stupidity, he is letting complete strangers stay in his new inherited house while he stays in a cheap boarding house. Totally unbelievable
I think Enid Blyton got most of her Famous Five plots from this film. very High-Quality film.
There are some very good old movies out there. And then, there is this one.
notice how everyone is "thin as a rake", and there no mention of fast food.
Also, people’s bodies weren’t full of toxic chemicals from tainted food, air and water.
We should always have meals at set times (from day to day) within a hour, with fast-food it spreads out the meal time window to whenever one gets to the fast-food outlet.
@@EYE_GOTCHA They just smoked, drank, and I doubt they ate well. You realize that people cast in movies are selected for their good looks.
This isn't long after the depression so this was what well fed looked like in those days LOL x
The first time I saw a couple of “super fatties” was in the 70’s in NYC. Couldn’t believe my eyes but I bet if I saw them now they’d just be almost ordinary - lol.
I like these old ones. They depend on writing instead of CGI. Even if they are corny they only last about an hour so they don't have time to get on ones nerves. BTW the hero was 'Nails Nathan' in :The Roaring Twenties"
OK it was t"The Public Enemy" I stand corrected.
I'm still watching this. Script is very weak in places but I'll play along.. For example, the heir "trespasses" and only angrily states that he owns the place. He NEVER states that he recently inherited it. A good scriptwriter would have included the inheritance part and found a work-around for the dialogue for the current residents. But I know in filmmaking there are time constraints and budget limitations, which put pressure on the author of the screenplay.
Great story, great ending, TY
Back when my dad wouldn’t go anywhere with out his hat
Thank you.
Love the ending!!!! True treasure.
Good One! Thanks for a Good one that is Light!
In 2021 dollars, his cash inheritance would be $993,876.81 plus the value of the mansion and property, in case anybody wants to know. And probably nobody wanted to know lol
Good movie, good acting & it's dark in the dark.
This should have a re-make done! The plot has a little bit of everything!
7:40 $50,000 in then-money is equal to about $940,000 in 2019 dollars.
WOW!
Love this old movie
Great movie, Sydney Blackmer is a seriously good actor.
I would’ve gotten away with not watching the whole of this movie, if it wasn’t for those pesky kids!
Well I never guessed they’d end up finding the treasure and getting spliced. Cor blimey guv....!
You'll be telling me next the titanic sank!
Quite good
Males before the 60s: Gee, what a beautiful girl! I want to marry her right away and start a family!
Makes after the 60s: Gee, I accidentally started a family with a beautiful girl! I better get the hell out of here!
Really though. In these old films all it took was a pretty face and a slim figure and every man was dying to slip a ring on a girl's finger. What the hell changed.
Not all of us. Not me.

Women gained rights and learned to exercise them.
Back then the most you could get out of a girl were looks, now that feminism, gender equality and gender non-conformity have enough root to flourish there's a real chance of two people from the opposite sex finding their intellectual equal.
It's a little more complicated now (thank god)

I mean, spending the rest of your life being nagged because you happen to like how soft boobs feel?
It's right out of the Divine Comedy
***** I agree. Women are the givers if life...men are just here to pass on genetic material.
Excellent ☺
odd choice in chairs for the stage set and interesting things happening with them of course we do like to rearrange our rooms
WHEN SEEING THESE OLD BRIT MOVIES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE INTERIOR DESIGNS THEY USED , FURNITURE, ETC
FROM THAT, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE BRITS WERE VERY "" CONFUSED ""
I want a house like that!
24:21 Something I have never seen in any old "well dressed character" movies: a man where his suit pants do not cover his lower leg.
Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit. I love the dialogue and it’s delivered so stiffly and with no acting talent whatsoever, just read. I love it🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘
I like the suitcases with the canvas outer covers
Love these old black and whites.
Why is the audio for your movies so low that yo can hardly hear anything?
because your hearing aid battery is low
Hey Pizzaflix can you find and upload the 1933 version of Whistling in the Dark? I have Red Skelton's version which I love, but would like to see this one, too.
Good movie💞💘
I liked this, even though it's full of holes the way things happen.
The description of the movie..." and get involved with a crazed scientist, torture chambers and sinister medical experiments." sounds like the FDA, CDC, NIH & the WHO, Gates & Fauci.
31 minutes in... script is weak. Mmmmm
It was frightening that I was able to sit through this entire stinker. The storyline was just plain dumb
gave up after 20 mins. Could not keep up with the plot which was mainly cos I could hardly hear!
I've seen between 15-20 Holmes Herbert films.
No you haven't.
@@jonhohensee3258 He appeared in around 230 films in his 40 year career,15 of them in his 1st 2 years.So that's how little you know.!!!
@@bobbythorman7421 - What the heck are you talkin' about?
I love the little corny jokes! And...all of it : )
Let me and my father stay (on your property) for six months (rent free?) And you cannot come and visit and I cannot say why.
Oh, okay.
Would love to watch, but sound quality too poor.
Great !
Интересный фильм!
Jeez, this just dragged on and on and on. But I had to watch it to the end. Not that good, but I love the old movies. 😶
who moved the hairs in the first 10 minutes in his apartment?
duh....chairs.
I started watching this once, I guess I never finished as I don't remember an ending.
Me too.
Poorly constructed, poorly acted. I am sorry I waited until the end.
I guess they didn't have foreign currency exchange back then. 10,000 sterling pounds is not $50K in United States currency
HENRY!!!
Made the year I was born, 1936, so like me. it must be good. July, 2023.
Good and old 😂
Me or the film?@@Charles-oo8bq
I've always liked the style & tailoring of the men's & women's wardrobes in these old films, especially those from the 1930's. Everybody looked 'nice' - - even when they weren't. lol
Agreed.
There is a reason for that!.....Times were different then,....it was a totally different era and society,...today are different times , not necessarily better in fact....worse. Woman were elegant, sexy, and looked like woman,...there was very little obesity, tatoos were mainly for sailors and woman drove station wagons instead of pickups. But.....this is what we have today,...and the good news is that ......it's going to get worse!.
Armando I could bet you are male.
@@armando6565 Yes, Armando, it's going to get worse!!! Sighhhh!!!
@@armando6565 that's good news?
So, Barry and Julie fall in love, even though Julie knows basically nothing about him, and she's done nothing but lie and be evasive to him. Gotta love Hollywood romance.
Oh, I love it! A mystery, bad guys, crazy people, lords and ladies, pirates, romance, and hidden treasure. What more could you ask for?
Hugh Jackman. Well, you asked.
@@OrangeTabbyCat LOL!
Share of the loot to the lucky viewer! 🤣😅
Muriel Evans ...oh ya , she was in it too !
The quality if the video and audio of this 84 year old film is amazing.
Wouldn't it have been easy if the Home Secretary had politely asked Barry if he could rent the house for 6 months and offered a handsome amount.
Right, then it could have been a ten minute movie instead of an hour and ten. Brilliant
When has any Governmental agency anyplace in the world taken the easy road out of a problem?
Thank You! I may not be British, but.. . having watched more than my share of amazing, clever, brilliant, funny.....the adjectives could go on forever, British shows, the most simple solution is to pay the guy for the use of the house.....said my piece. 🙃😎
ONE THING that hasn't been mentioned: the ACTING and the SCRIPT never seemed hackneyed as so many "poverty row" films tended to be. These were fine actors and it was believably performed considering the style of that period, which I have come to love. ♥♥♥♥
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
It is not the mere moments, but ourselves in them, whom we so artfully elude.
To catch ourselves, by Jove!
Neither could we..nor should we.
No past no future...just the moment.
Great quote! And true. As an elderly woman it also seems as the people I know die at an alarming rate it also seems like death is the real status of being and not this shadow called life.
Bravo Sameold, well quoted.
@@suetipping4841 wow this is correct. Me as a Muslim my whole life is preparing for death. To make sure I have enough good deeds and rewards so that when death finally comes I can succeed. Death is merely a door way to our everlasting life.
Thank you for amazing old movies. It’s rather refreshing to watch a movie without computers, cellphones.
and extreme gratuitous violence, computer-generated-graphics, and a musical score drowning out conversations
I use technology to watch, or isn't that what you meant?
@@charlottecampbell4327 Try comedies? Maybe not r rated?
"I'll trouble you to put your hands in the air." The bad guys are so polite.
Had to be a British actor...
You're so diplomatic...
I thought they'd gone to the other end of the spectrum remember Julius Caesar said that they were just unbelievably bad...lol
Took him forever to conquer them.
Notice at the beginning it's a Chesterfield productions...
Wonder if it's the cigarette company in the south?
The Brits are so polite.
@@Barbarra63297 We try but I like good manners😊
Hahaa! Indubitably!
Good evening from Portugal !
Thank you very much !
Muito obrigado !
Ah... The good old movies !!!
😍❤️
For some reason I can't get over how they switched the chairs around in his room between the first and second shots. Very stylish chairs. Nice film.
They had that joke about Queen Anne's legs...
They are distinctive and they had to have that joke. After the joke was done they probably had to return it Queen Anne
(They were renting it)
Lol
I noticed that too and all the lamps were nice too.
I noticed the switched chairs too! Housekeeping just isn't what it used to be in Hotels... those clunky vacuums...you had to move the furniture. Hee Hee! Right?
The director or film editor missed it or just thought, budget, budget, budget, what the heck!
The old chairswitch! The butler did it.
You noticed that too?
Thanks for posting this gem. Back then actors could deliver lines in rapid fashion, clearly annunciated in perfect English. Those were the days of clever writing of tight scripts played by superbly trained actors under able direction.
If I lived back then , you know, I think I might have worn a piece of styro-foam under my hat. Seems folks were constantly gettin' clubbed over the head a lot. With styro-foam under my hat I could pretend to be knocked out and then when they turned around I could take the bad guys by surprise,
Ha Ha!
If you lived back then, you’d have been out of luck. Styrofoam wasn’t invented until the 1940s and was first used by consumers in the 1960s.
That or rienforce the hat into a Helmet incognito
Foam rubber, even better
They did not have Styrofoam back then....newspaper would have to do
It always cracks me up when there’s an uppity old woman who screams “Henryyyyyy” in a high pitched voice. I find myself copying her and laughing. Hubby’s like “who’s Henry and why are u calling for him”? That alone made me laugh so hard I can’t stop. And I still can’t stop saying Henryyyyyyy. 😂😂😂😂😂😊😂😂😂😂😂😂
Elisabeth I agree 😍😍heeeennnrrryyy!!!lol
Elisabeth get a grip 😂
"Henryyyyyy" was used as the opening for The Aldrich Family show.
See "Mr. Hulot's Holiday"
😂
The reason for the poor night scenes was they didn't have the film and cameras like they had years later. Thanks for showing an old film from the past. You never disappoint.
Yes, but ALL through the Age of Hollywood, people would forgive a great DEAL of Artificial lighting, if it meant they could SEE what was happening! And Hollywood also took a swing at literally filming in daylight and expecting audiences to know by the actors' COMMENTS that it was "supposed to be" night time. Some of us who were younger them would poke fun at it - until we saw the older ones filmed in pitch black and we appreciated a little light on the subject.
We know it was hard for the directors, both ways.
But being blinded by Blackness, and the Dialogue not giving us the INFO the way they would do on radio mysteries....
@@anombrerose6311 They filmed in daylight with a filter so audiences knew it was supposed to be night.
@@653j521 True for outdoor action, especially westerns, but indoors, they used lighting to keep it from being pitch black, much the same effect.
Especially when they were using kerosene lamps for the excuse, yet the Lamp light wasn't as it Naturally is - but though I noticed such things, I was still glad to be able to see, and I never minded, because that just isn't an easy thing to deal with. But the best was definitely the filter over real sunlight, outside.
Though it was "interesting" when it was supposedly so dark they couldn't see eachother, but we could see them all very very well. We'd have to tell the younger kids why the good guy couldn't see the bad guy "Right There" under his nose! LOL!
@@anombrerose6311 Saw that in some of the Gunsmoke episodes from the fifties I watched.
How can they have intruders into the house, go down a secret set of stairs and then act like nothing is going on?
Starts out promisingly, has some charm, but the story just starts going round in circles until coming to a rather silly end.
Thank you.
So finally a day off and decide to watch this film. Another great pic PF. Kind of an odd looking lead man in Fenton but likable and Muriel a great beauty and screen presence.
Good cast and interesting plot, could not figure out what was going on. Blackmer a favorite of mine as well as Morgan Wallace - both have a powerful screen presence and convincing in any part they play. The Brits always come across as genuine.
Good guy gets the girl and a happy ending never a bad deal.
Thanks PF
That was good. Had no clue til the end. 😊
Did anyone notice the blooper on 108 : 15 ? The chairs are switched around.
much of the action takes place in the dark, so you don't know what's going on; this could have been a radio show
One hour in and I still Don't know what is going on !
HA!
You're 1 hr older
cuz we can't tell you, it's a secret! haha
I love these movies because men were men, women were women. There's no sex scenes, it showed how people struggled to survive, also proved that people can pull together and help each other out. You can learn a lot from an old movie. Thank you, Music Man Bobby Stewart 🎧😎🇨🇦
I can't stand tv today and don't watch it. But you can't tear me away from these old black and white films from the 30"s - 50's, I love them! The fashions were wonderful and the styles unforgettable. I love the way they talk, so different than today.
Unfortunately, these days you can't tell a woman from a man... In fact, you can't tell what they are. The feminine woman is rare and the "man's man" is even more rare.
It's the Transhumanist agenda at its finest, the making of a new race. 👺
You have not learned anything from them or you wouldn't have such prudish views. Have you ever heard of pre-code movies. These movies would have been much better if they hadn't been censored.
@@nedludd7622 lol what does the phrase ‘when women were women/men…men’ even mean?! I think most women would agree they’re individuals and not simply either a sexpot, mother or submissive daughter/sister. Pigeonholing for any sex is not healthy.
@@moominmay LAY, what does your post have anything to do with mine?
You mean a man can rifle thru the purse of a woman he just met to find her home address as part of the mating ritual??
The guys have their pants pulled up under their arm pits. Looks kinda stupid
... pants sagging almost to midcalf as if they're awaiting entry of the Big Kahuna is even worse 😝
Everybody was doing it, so it didn't look stupid at the time. This style favors the middle-aged gentleman as it hid tummy and since the shoulders were padded, gave them a more masculine profile. I believe they were fairly comfortable to wear.
Very good quality.
A crazed scientist, torture chambers and sinister medical experiments--just my kind of place.
22 minutes into it and enjoying it in a campy sort of way. But if I heard my Dame scream...I wouldn't leave the scene.
Your enjoyment was campy?
The plot ceases to make any sense about 45 minutes in.
I see fedoras, I watch.
hahahahaha.
The crooks In this film,are the most polite.
Great old movie. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Excellent Movie! Surprisingly sharp for the year it was filmed. Of course I am starting to recognize the quality in the Chesterfield Corp. Broadcasting...radio and movies.
ahhh...nothing like the classic black and white films.
They have Great Story Lines
Didn't have a color TV until '68! Wizard of OZ blew me away! I was fortunate to see "Gone With the Wind" in the movie house,!

My second time watching this gem 💎 of a movie!!! Just Awesome 🤩
The synopsis does it no justice bc Barry owns the house
Hi PitzaFlix Thanl You So Much. 🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘
Twist: Barry was the grand Uncle of Bruce Wayne's father and the Hawks Nest was passed down to him.
WRONG AGAIN.
Lol!😂
Well. Ya don't. Say. ?!???!!
Love the suits the straightforward acting the little romance 🇹🇹🤩😘
so lots of light in the stairway in cave, but dark in the house part.
