    I wish I lived in this era. My Grannie always used to say they were the best times. Leslie Philips - I’ve never seen him in a serious role, such talented actor. These films were so good in content, good actors, not relying on CGI, no violence, and no sex and naked bodies needed. I don’t watch tv, or go to the cinema, it’s all rubbish now. Thank you for uploading all these wonderful movies. It’s much appreciated 💓❤️💓

      it's surprising that Leslie was able to convey his real persona in his fictitious character - Philips was a promiscuous man throughout his entire life and this actually came out in the movie when you look at his interactions with women. I bet he loved a good shag!!! What's the chance that after filming he was having sex with one of the women from the set? Very high imo.

      I agree with you. There are some good quality dramas on TV today but you really have to search for them. The BBC still produce a fair bit of good stuff if you don't mind British drama.
      Living in your Grannie's era wouldn't change things for you though. Your Gran's era was one of the most violent in history. World War Two killed 70 million people. Then there was Vietnam, Korea, in fact I don't think that in the last century there has been a moment of world peace.
      The 1918 flu epidemic killed an estimated 50 million. Thank God we have vaccines today. Measles, polio, small pox, whooping cough, tuberculosis etc.
      As much as I too pine for the 'old' days I think we live in the best time right now.

    What an unexpected pleasure to see Lionel Blair here, as the dancer. And quite a coincidence​-he died recently at 92, just a few days ago, on 4 Nov 21. An old school trouper, seemingly universally liked in showbiz, he was a dancer/choreographer who could also act, and was often on British TV screens in game shows, Christmas specials and so on, into his later years.

      I was born in 55, and I would not want to go back to those earlier times. Times when women could only get a credit card in their husband's name. When black folks couldn't rent an apartment in many neighborhoods. When your local diner was filled with cigarette smoke. When you put you kids in a car that had no seat belts. I could make this a very long list.

      You couldn't remember much as a neonate. I was born in 1948 and I can remember 1953 rather well as a 5-year-old. I can't believe Leslie Phillips was so much older than me. Yes, they made great films back then. It's amazing that Lloyd Bridges was fully dressed in an English tailored suit and gaberdine although he had just arrived from Hollywood. Back then English detectives were mannerly and spoke with upper middle class accents. Not like today when New Scotland Yard take anyone who walks in off the street. Although Lionel Blair almost fell over several times while twirling around, he was loved by the English who are were not anti-semitic like today. André Van Gyseghem was perfectly cast as the stage door keeper and the eponymous limping man. At the end, Alan Wheatley pronounced London just like someone from Hull making a change from the posh policeman. It was an inspiration to cast real-life siblings, Max and Louise Boisot as The Children although the speaking part of the theatre Boy was uncredited.

      Gimme break,
      I love these old movies too but to infer that Hollywood can't make movies like this is total BS, they don't make them because no one would watch them if they did,
      Old movies have great nostalgic value and you can't mass produce nostalgia,
      In 50 or 60 years from now young people of today will be old and saying the same thing about today's movies compared to the movies produced....in 50 or 60 years!
      No Doubt when this was made the old people were telling the young people how great Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were and how much better they were than the current stars....it's called Human Nature!

      @@georgemoore7186 Nostalgia for a misty past is such a common sentiment that there should be a name for it. Show an old movie or a scene from the past and right on cue you will get cliches about "They don't make 'em like they used to" or maybe "People used to have pride in themselves" or something like similar. Of course these are all really commentaries about the present. The past is a mythical golden time that we can compare the dreary present to. But I would believe that the same folks, if transported back 50 years, would find those times equally dreary.

      Despite what it says in Wikipedia, this isn't a noir. Not every crime drama is a noir. The term, like 'kitchen sink', has become horribly devalued. It's just an interesting crime drama with notable London location shooting. FWIW, Cy Endfield was very interested in stage magicianship (perhaps he and Orson Welles discussed it when they met), so I can imagine the stage-show parts in this film got input from the director.

The second was hearing of a little cockney kid in school who could not spell and was asked by his teacher to write his favourite TV show on the classroom blackboard. He wrote, C Unt.

Consequently, I fast-forwarded to the last 3 minutes.

    Since when does Scotland yard reveal information about a murdeed man to a witnesss.
    Yes, we don't know his name. He had a passport. But it was a forgery.
    Says it like he is giving the weather or time.

    A really good noir style picture starring Caesar Romero. Adapted from a great mystery novel called The Creaking Chair by Lawrence W Meynell, which is really a terrific read, going deep into the strange London underworld from the early 1940s
