It is amazing how many of these really good black and white films are available for free on TH-cam. A lot of people especially young ones won't watch anything but colour and if wasn't made in the last five years they are not interested. A lot of these movies are "B" meaning they were quickies made to fill 'double features'. Does anyone remember when you could go to the theatre and see two films. In fact you could sit all day and watch them over and over without anyone throwing you out.
Damn I wasn't around during that time, but I am young and I love love love black and white movies, they are the the bomb! You are right though, young people mostly seem to dig the NEW films these days... that's wack imo.
Some B movies of the 50th are so good ! This one is excellent, thrilling, moving, with great suspens, very good actors, everything we love ! Thanks for sharing.
"Everything we love" indeed! I mean look at where the house was located and how charming and neat it looked. Skies were much much more bigger back in those days.

They did this cat our local theaters, but II especially remember my dad and I going to a movie theater in Times Square, NYC, one of many in Times Square area. We’d see a newsreel, cartoon, a “B” movie, and a feature film, such as “Bridge on the River Kwai”. Then we’d go to a restaurant. I loved their Napoleon pastries. We’d see movie celebrities, such as Jack Warden, sitting at the next table. Good times. - BG
Jerry Mathers, born in 1948, was 9 years old when they produced this in 1957, the same year they started filming the 'Leave it to Beaver' series. He looked a lot younger than 9 here, he looked about 5-6. I guess that's why they could run 'Leave it to Beaver' so long.
That's Corey Allen in the role of Gil, who had played Buzz in Rebel Without a Cause a couple of years before this film. He became a successful director with voluminous credits to his name, died in 2010.
@@SMAY0001 Right you are! Thanks for noticing THAT 'trivia' (I hadn't checked the full cast list until reading your reply, and now that I have, I should hasten to add (for those too young to know) that Jerry Mathers was the star of the immortal TV series 'Leave It To Beaver', and Philip Carey was famous as the Captain in the TV series 'Laredo' (a comedic-dramatic western), and Betty Garrett was a regular in the TV series 'All In The Family', 'Laverne and Shirley', and 'Golden Girls', and of course Jerry, Philip, and Betty had many roles in movies of the 1950's. Incidentally, having grown up back then, when Phil Hartman came into prominence he always reminded me of Philip Carey, and I wouldn't be surprised if he actually had modeled at least one of his characters after Philip Carey, but they also looked and sounded alike (when Phil 'used' his Philip Carey persona). Lastly, as for Corey Allen, not to be morbid, but IF he had been in the car with James Dean on that fateful day of his fatal accident, Corey would be just as famous as James, and the same goes for Richard Davalos, who, like Corey as Buzz (Rebel Without A Cause), gave an OUTSTANDING performance in 'East of Eden', in the role of Cal's (Dean's role) brother Aaron, every bit as compelling, if not more so, than that of James Dean. Davalos and Allen made many more films, but remained obscure as 'fate' would have it, unjustly. Both of those films are perfect works of art in which EVERY actor and actress in both of those films delivered STELLAR performances.

Dear hburger5 and TH-camrs, May 2019. I'm a 73 yo man, my wife is 78 and we only ever saw two movies at theatres here in Australia. As someone belows said "... haven't watched TV for years...' we only watch TV for a garden show, a 30 M series, Landline, a cooking show and me Australian football. I have downloaded about two thousand movies which we rate as good and excellent. Thanks to all the various people who Upload the movies. Do many people outside of Australia see in in a theatre or via TH-cam Australian movies? There is a 1946 movie about Charles Ulm and Kingsford Smith who were the first fliers to fly from the U.S.A. and Australia God bless for Juan in Brisbane Australia.
Most movie theaters across the U.S. have long been too small, too loud, and too expensive. The days of the 'picture palace' are nearly extinct, as are drive ins.
Fab film, I have seen it before. Great quality. Made in 1957 .Directed by the great producer and director William Asher who was very prolific and talented. Thank you for sharing this treasure.
Great movie from William Asher (from all the mid-sixties bikini movies, Annette/Frankie duos, and Bewitched fame). This movie reflects what used to be America in the fifties early sixties - may be not that violent but it fostered traditional American family values, community connection, good triumphing over evil, ... An era long gone. Peace be with you all, Ciao, L (a Baby Boomer who lived that era).

Jerry "The Beaver" Mathers could have been a great dramatic actor but essentially type cast ! He showed a good range of emotions with hardly any dialogue at such a young age 🙌👏 Wonder if he watches this film once in a while🤔
Thank you for presenting Shadow on the Window with a fine cast, including Philip Carey, Betty Garrett, and Jerry Mathers before Leave it To Beaver made him a star on television. Also, Ainslie Pryor (the doctor) was best remembered for the TV sitcom, The Adventures of Hiram Holliday, with Wally Cox, a few TV guest appearances, and the Paul Newman film, The Left-Handed Gun (1958), his last acting role before his death. Loved the tension-building plot typical of 50's films showing middle-class America under siege from crooks (think, The Desperate Hours, for instance). BTW, I believe I saw this film on TV years ago, so it's been a while.
Philip Carey possibly best known for commercials where he ripped off the top of a potato chip bag with his teeth, then asked viewers, "Are you man enough for...Granny Goose?"
Ah yeah, "those WERE the days, eh Kate Baxter. I am sixty and friends of 70+ recently reminisced together of the newsreel and the fabulous cartoons, and that exciting INTERMISSION time when you got to go back for an even bigger thrill, THE MAIN FEATURE. So now the Road Runner is no longer heard to cry beep beep as you settle in with jaffas on real wooden floors! yeah, we remember too...and sooo miss it all. cp
It was so much more fun to go to the movies back then ('50's into the '60's). Especially the Sat kid's matinee. You'd get a variety of shorts, maybe a newsreel, maybe a popular music group a la MTV and, best of all, a cartoon! When that WB logo flashed on the screen with Bugs Bunny in the middle, it made the hair stand up on your head. Or even better - Popeye!!! He always got the loudest cheers from the kids.
SEE RANK Paul Picerni who plays Phil Carey's sidekick, Bigelow, was a fixture in the TV series, The Untouchables. He was also had a distinguished WW2 record as a bombardier.
I thought that's who it was! Yep. And Joey is the father in "Next Stop Greenwich Village". Nope. sorry, that was Mike Kellin, not Gerlad Sarracini. Sure does look like him though.
I think a lot of general police work goes along just like this. I recall reading crime mysteries...the Shell Scott and Perry Mason books, many others too. I liked this.
Yet they never thought to start where boy was picked up by truckers, and work their way back down the highway. Or did they? I haven't watched it all yet.
Betty Garrett was a very successful actress of the 40's, playing musical comedy mostly....one of my favorites is "On the town", when she co-starred with Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller and Gene Kelly.
Wow movie was better than I thought it would be thank you for uploading it taking the time and the volume was terrific didn't have to wear earplugs or anyting. Another great evening spent watching old-fashioned entertainment
I think the cop (Jerry Mathers) father was in General Hospital) John Barrymore Jr is drew Barrymore's dad right? He was a pretty good actor at that time. Corny story but great acting! Thanks 1:13:25 1:13:25
Thank you - another enjoyable film! While watching, I found that Philip Carey had a certain familiarity to him that I couldn't quite place (somewhat resembled Charlton Heston). I now see that he played Asa Buchanan on One Live to Live! No wonder he looked familiar. In this film, Carey, Betty Garrett and John Drew Barrymore all did a nice job.
thank you for a high quality upload ! this is a thoroughly enjoyable film, a terrific cast deliver believable characters. beautiful cinematizing. best regards from CA
The woman, Linda, Petey's mom, was Irene McNabb on "All in the family" She and Archie despised each other on the show. She knocks on Archie's door, he answers. She wants Archie to look over a petition she is trying to get signatures on. "Oh,ahh...say Irene...what was that song by Irving Berlin with your name in it?" She looks puzzled, replies "Goodnight Irene?" He quickly snaps back "That's the one" and slams the door in her face!

Our neighbor's daughter, was a bit older, but he had a similar trauma.She was home alone,when burglars broke in. She froze,didn't do anything and she still is at that same condition, 6 years now. They took her to all the doctors in the country, as also in different countries,nothing changed though. I gave her a drawing set that I personaly built up. I got her all the best pencils,best paper and best erasers. She has done a drawing for me, that her parents gave to me. I would give my arm, to hear her speak again. Merry Christmas tto you all, let's hope Santa brings her her voice back and it doesn't matter if it's Christmas or the most boring day of the year..God bless you all!
Like all people who were in the entertainment industry at that time, they actually had talent.... Could usally sing, dance, play a musical instrument as well as act. Not like today, their talent lies in who can wear the skimpiest outfit on stage, or how outrageous they can be on a reality show.
This is a good one. Thankfully in good condition. Suspense drove me crazy, but that's what it was written to do. enjoyed the whole production and acting Thanks so much. I wan
Great movie but does anyone else I'm sure I am not the only one the Seas the hole in it where you wouldn't just drop a kid off like that pass them along to some other people the cops would want to know exactly where you picked him up and that would be important. I'm sure other people thought of this I just had to say it

That's Corey Allen in the role of Gil, who had played Buzz in Rebel Without a Cause a couple of years before this film. He became a successful director with voluminous credits to his name, died in 2010.

The Australian movie "The Proposition" was a great movie.
Most movie theaters across the U.S. have long been too small, too loud, and too expensive.
The days of the 'picture palace' are nearly extinct, as are drive ins.
FANTASTIC movie, love these old and well acted classics
Fab film, I have seen it before. Great quality. Made in 1957 .Directed by the great producer and director William Asher who was very prolific and talented. Thank you for sharing this treasure.
The Beaver did a great job!
Was that Beaver cool
@@darinmckillop5044 just being allowed to see the beaver makes me feel good .
Great movie from William Asher (from all the mid-sixties bikini movies, Annette/Frankie duos, and Bewitched fame). This movie reflects what used to be America in the fifties early sixties - may be not that violent but it fostered traditional American family values, community connection, good triumphing over evil, ... An era long gone. Peace be with you all, Ciao, L (a Baby Boomer who lived that era).

Nothing is as sad as a scared Beaver.
This is a worth while movie, and unlike a lot of these old movies on TH-cam, the video quality is very good.
Watched many movies like this on the weekends.Old days
Million Dollar Movie
that ending brought me to tears when Beaver ran to his mama after thinking she was dead.
28.3.21 Utube.From UK.Shadow On The Window. Yes weve seen about 40 of these kind of BW films. This one is amazingly good picture quality. Thats technology for you. Have not watched this yet and recently have been staring at these films less n less. Weve entered a lot of comments about what we are thinking these days re the Film Industry. Actors etc. However just like with Politics. Law. Health. and other issues all comments ignored. We hung out with the Cent London acting, Art and BBC scene for many yrs. We thought it was great. We weveb read 'The Times' Then one day two things happened, we were approached by victims of the Police, Mental Health,govt. Charity, Media, Royal Law. Court and similar systems. The second event was the assoc with someone who was not like anyone else. What happened over the next ten or so yrs was very hard to cope with because the situation demanded that we change our middle class cloak for reality. Many tearful hours was experienceds as our lives became no longer viable. There was a third happening which was the meeting of a man at a public meeting who opened a case and that conrained was full of litigation papers. The following twelve yrs were sensational and we experienced Police attacks whilst traipsing Cent london knocking on doors. We also experienced death threats from HM Court System but when that was reported to Police they wiped it from the computers. Weve gathered 1000pp evidence and our dear BBC 'friends' said this- Hide It Abroad' We approached the EEC about Human Rights and they told us there were none becauase its all about money not people hence the mal funded charities and other orgs. We now are not able to access Democracy of any kind incl Parliament. We have found 26 universities practising. The entire media is concealing evidence. The Police are still using violence. Their latest quote is as follows- 'No One Must Be Warned If They Are In Danger'. '.Among the media we approached was Dimbleby Press. The victims had in many cases searched for non crrpt Lawyer or Journalist for 6-10 yrs with no luck. We were obliged to employ bodyguards to save our own heath and lives. We found no trustable org which has HM Prefix. Now you know why we dont watch these Cop. Crimina. Judge. Press. News Headline. Nite Club. Fire Escape. Shooting. Punching. Knifing.

Jerry "The Beaver" Mathers could have been a great dramatic actor but essentially type cast ! He showed a good range of emotions with hardly any dialogue at such a young age 🙌👏 Wonder if he watches this film once in a while🤔
Probably was upset Wally wasn't also in the cast
Hitchcock liked Jerry too! Used him in “The Trouble With Harry”
Thank you for presenting Shadow on the Window with a fine cast, including Philip Carey, Betty Garrett, and Jerry Mathers before Leave it To Beaver made him a star on television. Also, Ainslie Pryor (the doctor) was best remembered for the TV sitcom, The Adventures of Hiram Holliday, with Wally Cox, a few TV guest appearances, and the Paul Newman film, The Left-Handed Gun (1958), his last acting role before his death. Loved the tension-building plot typical of 50's films showing middle-class America under siege from crooks (think, The Desperate Hours, for instance). BTW, I believe I saw this film on TV years ago, so it's been a while.
Philip Carey possibly best known for commercials where he ripped off the top of a potato chip bag with his teeth, then asked viewers, "Are you man enough for...Granny Goose?"
Ah yeah, "those WERE the days, eh Kate Baxter. I am sixty and friends of 70+ recently reminisced together of the newsreel and the fabulous cartoons, and that exciting INTERMISSION time when you got to go back for an even bigger thrill, THE MAIN FEATURE. So now the Road Runner is no longer heard to cry beep beep as you settle in with jaffas on real wooden floors! yeah, we remember too...and sooo miss it all. cp
It was so much more fun to go to the movies back then ('50's into the '60's). Especially the Sat kid's matinee. You'd get a variety of shorts, maybe a newsreel, maybe a popular music group a la MTV and, best of all, a cartoon! When that WB logo flashed on the screen with Bugs Bunny in the middle, it made the hair stand up on your head. Or even better - Popeye!!! He always got the loudest cheers from the kids.
Amazing Classic :)
'Ward, something is wrong with the Beaver."
yep ''here's one of the old farts here''' names rachelle
"Now June! "
Shoulda douched, June. Shoulda douched.
Yeah got involved with drugs
SEE RANK
Paul Picerni who plays Phil Carey's sidekick, Bigelow, was a fixture in the TV series, The Untouchables. He was also had a distinguished WW2 record as a bombardier.
Phil played Asa on One Life To Live
Phil Carey was the boss in Laredo tv series.
The "Beave" in some serious stuff here.
I thought that's who it was! Yep. And Joey is the father in "Next Stop Greenwich Village". Nope. sorry, that was Mike Kellin, not Gerlad Sarracini. Sure does look like him though.

The Trouble with Harry
So Jerry Mathers was famous before the Cleavers.
I just saw him on another movie on here called the Trouble With Harry
Good movie! The music score is a little nerve wracking but pretty good thriller ~
As a child, I witnessed a drug store being robbed and I remember being HYSTERICAL!
I'm sorry you went thru that
That must have been awful for you.....

What a great find! Thank you!.
Really enjoyed every moment. Very realistic. Great music. Thanks.
Love Asa
I think a lot of general police work goes along just like this. I recall reading crime mysteries...the Shell Scott and Perry Mason books, many others too. I liked this.
Yet they never thought to start where boy was picked up by truckers, and work their way back down the highway. Or did they? I haven't watched it all yet.
Thanks for uploading. I very much enjoyed the film. I could also hear it! You will have man more hits.
Betty Garrett was a very successful actress of the 40's, playing musical comedy mostly....one of my favorites is "On the town", when she co-starred with Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller and Gene Kelly.
Excellent actress. Loved her on archie' bunker. Her character always came out on top with archie.
She's beautiful!
Very Good. Well worked out and Good Acting. Thanks for the upload.
I loved this. Very well executed film.
Wild film, what a story line. Thank you for uploading.
Excellent movie. Thank you for uploading.
Wow movie was better than I thought it would be thank you for uploading it taking the time and the volume was terrific didn't have to wear earplugs or anyting. Another great evening spent watching old-fashioned entertainment
I think the cop (Jerry Mathers) father was in General Hospital) John Barrymore Jr is drew Barrymore's dad right? He was a pretty good actor at that time. Corny story but great acting! Thanks 1:13:25 1:13:25
These old movies ARE the BEST!
Thank you - another enjoyable film! While watching, I found that Philip Carey had a certain familiarity to him that I couldn't quite place (somewhat resembled Charlton Heston). I now see that he played Asa Buchanan on One Live to Live! No wonder he looked familiar. In this film, Carey, Betty Garrett and John Drew Barrymore all did a nice job.
Thanks a lot for this classic gem😘❤❤
thank you for a high quality upload ! this is a thoroughly enjoyable film, a terrific cast deliver believable characters. beautiful cinematizing.
best regards from CA
Greetings California

" Hey beaver , where have you been ?"
" Wally , you'd never believe the stuff I've seen while looking through a window today."
Very suspenseful movie.
The woman, Linda, Petey's mom, was Irene McNabb on "All in the family" She and Archie despised each other on the show. She knocks on Archie's door, he answers. She wants Archie to look over a petition she is trying to get signatures on. "Oh,ahh...say Irene...what was that song by Irving Berlin with your name in it?" She looks puzzled, replies "Goodnight Irene?" He quickly snaps back "That's the one" and slams the door in her face!
🤩
I think she was also on "Laverne & Shirley". She played the girlfriend of Laverne's father. I THINK. Yep! I checked. I was right. Ten points for me!
When she was on All in the Family her voice had deepened some.

Love olde movies ..thankyou
Our neighbor's daughter, was a bit older, but he had a similar trauma.She was home alone,when burglars broke in. She froze,didn't do anything and she still is at that same condition, 6 years now. They took her to all the doctors in the country, as also in different countries,nothing changed though. I gave her a drawing set that I personaly built up. I got her all the best pencils,best paper and best erasers. She has done a drawing for me, that her parents gave to me. I would give my arm, to hear her speak again. Merry Christmas tto you all, let's hope Santa brings her her voice back and it doesn't matter if it's Christmas or the most boring day of the year..God bless you all!
Thanks for the upload!!! 🙋♀️🙋♀️❤️❤️😂😂
Love all these black + white old films 🥰🥰🥰🇬🇧
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Better than most of the modern rubbish! Lol 😆
Such an awesome movie!
Great film. Early scenes reminded me of 'DRAGNET '
loved this movie!!
Always liked Betty Garrett. Good actress, could sing, tap dance, solid at comedy and drama. Pretty good flick.
Like all people who were in the entertainment industry at that time, they actually had talent.... Could usally sing, dance, play a musical instrument as well as act. Not like today, their talent lies in who can wear the skimpiest outfit on stage, or how outrageous they can be on a reality show.
Thanks for a very good well acted film from start to finish.
Good movie - lots of suspense.
GREAT MOVIE!!!
Great movie! Thanks for uploading!

Jan 29, 2018 ~ A good story line. Worth the watch. Crime don't pay
Top movie.thx. for loading.
Beautiful movie....I liked it...
This movie is really good. Wish movies nowadays were half as good.
I think all estranged fathers and mothers should watch this film, the ending is great!!
This could've been a Dragnet movie. They really could use Friday's help !!!
With monotonous Jack Webb voiceover?
really great and i'm loving it so much beauty old school boyyeess
A very good movie
"...Sensitive. No sissy, though." Oh, boy.
Back when boys were boys and girls were girls. Before all this bs we have to deal with today. America has gone to hell now.
This is a good one. Thankfully in good condition. Suspense drove me crazy, but that's what it was written to do. enjoyed the whole production and acting Thanks so much. I wan
You gotta love that 50's jazz
Great movie!
Very good film. Notable how good the acting was with no big names (except the Beve.)
No stars but who's Beve?Do you have a day release?
Good movie for a Saturday morning good tension suspense
Great movie but does anyone else I'm sure I am not the only one the Seas the hole in it where you wouldn't just drop a kid off like that pass them along to some other people the cops would want to know exactly where you picked him up and that would be important. I'm sure other people thought of this I just had to say it
The director here did many other things including the tv show Bewitched!
and married to Liz Montgomery
And he made mademoiselle 🎅🌠🌠🌕🌜🌛🌙🐀🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐🍭🍭
Thank you so much I love black and white films 🎥
They took Jess alive. Nowadays, the cops would have Swiss-cheesed him.
This was a great movie for a Saturday night🍿🎬👏🏻👍🏻thanks for sharing
Yes 👍
The opening music got me from the start and black and white , can never make goid films like this anymore .
Great quality too. Thanks for uploading!!
Good Movie! Little boy is Beaver Cleaver!!Yes this was good and Definitely worth seeing!!
heres another old fart over here aka betterworld
good movie...thank you
Good movie, enjoyed this. Cool lil Beaver.
Great movie. Enjoyed it. Thanks for posting
Great movie, luv it!!.......
20:06 the Ford with the Plexiglas top over the front seat, thought they didn't make them until 55-56, thought they were called Sun Valley .
good eye.
55 to 56 I think the Crown Victoria "Skyliner"...a prototype ??
Ford Crestline Skyliner, 1954: bringatrailer.com/2016/04/23/one-year-glass-top-1954-ford-crestline-skyliner/
For 1955 - 56 there was the Ford Crown Victoria Skyliner, then during 1957, 58, 59 the retractable hardtops were branded Skyliner.
Another little gem of a film I never heard of. Great suspense, and the home-invasion/robbery is still topical today.
I LOVED PHIL CAREY, WHAT A MAN
Oh, is that who that is, I couldn't think. "Like Sand Through the Hour Glass, So Are The Days of Our Lives".
Do you remember that hilarious tv commercial he was in, where he declared that he's "Mother Goose"?
That when they made good films, not garbage they these days.
here he is! old fart ''john''
And proud of it for being an old fart.
John Trotter And he’s right - you’d have to be an especially slow witted three-toed sloth to appreciate the comic book superhero garbage and insipid attempted comedies they churn out today.
Yep back then was all meat and potatoes unlike crappy film today
There is likely the same ratio of good to bad films as there was then.
Loved it. - Saturday night in NYC, 2/20/2021
