    These old black and white mysteries are so good. Much better than what Hollywood calls entertainment these days.

    Just saw the credits. Jayne Meadows played the dentist's assistant. Jayne Meadows was born in Wuhan China of all places. She married Steve Allen and had one child. Her sister was Audrey Meadows who was famous for The Honeymooners.

    The Fat man radio program was one of my favorite radio programs growing up in the 1940's along with Intersanctum, The Mysterious Traveller, Suspense, Sherlock Holmes, The Shadow, Nick Carter, Gangbusters, This is the FBI and Mr. District Attorney. That was my entertainment during the War Years until my parents bought a TV in 1950.

    • @johnnyray88

      @james colvin I am so glad that my comments brought back old memories of your father talkin about radio programs that he liked too. I am 85 years old and still watching old movies and listening to old-time radio shows on TH-cam. It looks like I'm making a full circle liking the things I did when I was young and doing the same in my old age. God bless you and family.

      I have a bad habit for cussing, sometimes I think I have tourette's syndrome. I don't like it, it's a kind of a release.
      It is nice not hearing sexual innuendos, cussing....what we have in movies now, seem to be demonic.😢
      I really enjoy the older movies.

    What a pleasant surprise to find this channel . What a gem this film is. Expected Runyon to be a Nero Wolfe clone, but this is a very different character.

    • @eileenheath1968
      @eileenheath1968 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Oh! You should check out the radio show - which uses this same actor. sadly only 10 episodes survived and roughly 6 are good quality but well worth it. Just make sure you get the American ones. Australia picked this up in the 50's and had their own Fat Man radio show. Along the same lines as the American one but the mysteries did suffer a bit.

The Fat Man da da dadada hmmmmm" There was the star from TV "Lawman" There was the West to be won there was a job to be done --------- These movies take me back - all the classic lines, expressions, humor ----Just great!!!!!!

    The 1st time I saw this, I didn't recognize the name billed 2nd to last: Marv Kaplan. But, 12 years
    later, (1963), he had a small part -- playing a similar role -- in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!

    The actor (Ken Niles) who plays the dentist who gets snuffed = the same actor who played Leonard Eels --- the character who gets snuffed so they can try to pin it on Mitchum --- in Out Of The Past .

    Apparently, nobody here is aware that the radio Fat Man is a sort of swipe from Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op.
    When The Thin Man hit on radio, they wanted Hammett to do a Fat Man to go with the Thin Man, so Hammett sold them a format , and off they went.
    He lost an on-air credit due to being blacklisted; them's the breaks ...
    On radio, Brad Runyon didn't have a funny sidekick; Universal decided to give him Clinton Sundberg, who was sort of the Charles Nelson Reilly of his era.
    The plan was to do a series of Fat Man movies, but the timing was wrong; it happens ...

    Being fat had its attractions, the Fat Man was a modern day version of the later Cannon character played by William Conrad - tv series who was also a Fat Man.

    It very much reminded me of the Cannon TV series. I love seeing Old Los Angeles. Interesting seeing Jane Meadows in a part where she says so little, as she was very talkative in real life. Castle was awesome. Tons of character actors. Someone said the story was 'very tight' and that describes it to a T. Thanks for posting it.

LOL A young Rock Hudson, Jayne Meadows (some of you may notice the resemblance to her sister, Audrey, famous for being on the receiving end of Ralphs, "One of these days, Alice, TO THE MOON!"), Julie London, Emmett Kelly, all in all, a stellar cast in a clever mystery.

    This was a freakin' good movie! Rock Hudson! Audrey Meadows! Julie London! I recognized John Russell from his old tv western, Lawman"!! Plot was very entertaining like those on my favorite tv murder mystery shows: Perry Mason, Murder She Wrote, Matlock & Diagnosis: Murder. The characters in this film reminded me of Nero Wolfe & Archie more so than the old Nero Wolfe movie here on youtube with Edward Arnold.

      I assume you are a Woman, I find it strange that you didn't find "The Fatman" calling Jane Meadows "Sweetheart" all the time, even though he knew her name, just a little demeaning and illmannered for a Woman he had just met?
      They treated women with very little respect in those days and it shows in this movie....but they didn't say "bum" and that is what you took from it?
