Wow!! This is my fourth Hugh Beaumont movie tonight. Can't get enough of him. The story lines are easy and concise. The way I like them. Thanks for the showing. Hoping to see more starring Mr. Beaumont. .😊
"San Francisco is a conservative city?" Must have been long before Pelosi, Newsom and Harris. Alright, I got that out of my system. Now I can enjoy the film. Very good. Love the narration. Hugh Beaumond was very versatile.
@@scarygary-qq1pj Or Melvin Drayton, a part-time laborer. Or Tipton Graves, an assistant to the script boy. Or Stella Garfield, secretary to the janitor. By the way, that's Leigh CARSON, not 'Larson' as the property master.
San Fagcisco was already in trouble back in the 1930's, when 'The Mattachine Society' was formed by Harry Hay, an early advocate of perversion. *One of his early boyfriends was the actor Will Geer, aka 'Grandpa Walton'. Geer later married and was divorced by his wife, and I can't imagine why.
More atmosphere than outer space, a dialogue as weak as Saigon tea, acting less convincing than a kindergarten presentation of the nativity.....the real star....my City by the Bay. Thank you for archiving and posting.
There actually is a building at 606 Post Street in Frisco, as shown in the film at 45:36. It's the Dakota Hotel, and is still standing...........I think, subject to the riots of 2020.
Such a shame they only made 6 episodes of Pier 23. Even though the format of the cop waiting for "O'Brien" to regain consciousness got tiresome, the repartee made these noirs worth watching.
The introduction to "Gail Chase", the femme fatale, (in the first story) in her flashy convertible, who was described later by "The Professor" (Edward Brophy), as "a creature of unsavoury proclivities", couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. Obviously, like all femme fatales, she got by on her looks and sex appeal. After watching the second story, it's obvious that the casting director, was conducting all female castings on his proverbial couch. He couldn't care less about acting ability, since the woman who played "Irma Rand" was an even worse actress, as was "Sylvis Rand".
At 19:15, check out the area around the front door and the door from the bedroom . That's the very same set as used in 'Danger Zone', also made in 1951.
@@TheSprocketVault Almost as hilarious as some of the very old silent cowboy films, where the same 'ranch house' room was fitted with different curtains and used again and again and again. All that film footage, done in a 10 x 15 three-walled studio set.
Also, the door is hinged on the wrong side. A door normally opens so as to block off the sleeping rooms. But, a $20-dollar budget only allows just so much.
It seems to me that he did. And, there was one episode where Ward Cleaver received a meerschaum from a friend. Back in those days a father smoking a pipe was still OK, and Grandpa smoking a cigar was OK, but cigarettes were being discouraged. Chewing simply wasn't done.
The dialogue is terrific, snappy and clever. A gem.
Especially Joan Valerie, the luscious but vicious blonde.
Thanks for sharing ! Hugh Beaumont is good and Edward Brophy of course steals the show as always.

Leigh Harper Carson 1895-1994, died age 98.
Jack Webb did a very similar radio show "Pat Novak for Hire" in the 40's
More than similar, this movie appears to be a clone of "Pat Novak." Gotta love the dialog.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you TSV.!
Any time!
27:31 that's no alibi, that's bad taste !! Ward Cleaver was always a sharp, cool headed guy !!!
First line of the film: ‘San Francisco’s a conservative place’.
How times change….
San Fagcisco was already in trouble back in the 1930's, when 'The Mattachine Society' was formed by Harry Hay, an early advocate of perversion. *One of his early boyfriends was the actor Will Geer, aka 'Grandpa Walton'. Geer later married and was divorced by his wife, and I can't imagine why.
And how!
No coincidence that it was a whole lot better back then too, before the democrats ruined it.
@@jimdep3530 *Give some thought to the voters who trusted the Democrats. They share the blame.
I love those pier 23 stories. How many of them do exist?
Hugh Beaumont did three (3) Dennis O'Brien movies, all of them in 1951: Danger Zone Roaring City Pier 23
Man !!!! All the trouble Ward had to put up with the Beaver was nothing compared to all this mess.
I never liked the 'Beaver' show. Ever. But Hugh Beaumont was always a great actor.
Good one, even on the 2nd go round!
I've watched this one so often that the Internet is wearing out.
"Pat Novak For Hire" radio show with Jack Webb, only with different names.
“Don’t get grabby!”

Your 'city'...lock away internet and clean that
filthy mess.

Thank you for the background information always adds a little something
Wow who knew Hugh had a chest like that ooh la la!
This movie was issued by Lippert Pictures.
Such a shame they only made 6 episodes of Pier 23. Even though the format of the cop waiting for "O'Brien" to regain consciousness got tiresome, the repartee made these noirs worth watching.

Irma Rand was played by Joan Valerie, who also had a small part in 'Murder Over New York', a Charlie Chan movie. She did just fine there too.

Yes, they made three of those movies back to back!

0:55 "San Francisco is a conservative place" Hahahahaha, oh, forgot, this was 1951. 🤭
Very beginning; San Francisco is a conservative town, yeah.
Noooooo!!!!!
Wait till June finds out

This guy was Beaver's father in Leave it to Beaver!
You don't say!
Yes I do, whatever happened to Eddie Haskell?@@kevinmadden1645
He was a killer in another movie ...and enemy
of J. Stewart and Audie Murphy in another.
...all before "Ward".
Umm... Thanks, we got that.😒
@@kevinmadden1645 Are you related to John, the Raiders coach back in the good old days?
Ward Cleaver was smoking a pipe. He did not smoke on Leave it too beaver
It seems to me that he did. And, there was one episode where Ward Cleaver received a meerschaum from a friend.
Back in those days a father smoking a pipe was still OK, and Grandpa smoking a cigar was OK, but cigarettes were being discouraged. Chewing simply wasn't done.
Is the professor Samantha's father on Bewitched?
Thank you.
Her father was played Maurice Evans.
Wouldn't the Beave be surprised !😉
Crap on the Beaver. 💣 I never liked the show OR Jerry Mathers. 💣💣💣
Perhaps the only barely decent Lippert Production.
Crazy that Beaumont was a bible thumper and left H'wood to preach.
He came to Hollywood to preach. ⭐⭐Baylor School salutes Hugh Beaumont, Class of 1930⭐⭐
