Superb! Fantastic film! A beautiful piece of art! Sadly this film was the very last of Gary Cooper who passed away a few months later.
I saw this film with my mother, in a theater, in Milwaukee, when it first came out. We always went together because of the free dishes given to each person there. A service for eight was built in that way. This film has always stood out in my memory, and I always wanted to see it again. So , now I'm 80 years old, and I finally get to see it again. Thank you. Yes, it's still an edge of your seat er.
Lovely memories
Lovely remembrance, I am glad I was able to provide this movie.
Did it have a UA logo?
@@joshpritt2146 No.
@@sfinthecity No not on the original prints when you guys saw the movie in 1961
Wow what a fantastic thriller and with a brilliant cast, so many great stars. I thought Kerr & Cooper played the leads brilliantly. Found this film very enjoyable and totally amazed I'd never seen it before. Can fully recommend it, it kept me entertained throughout. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I know it, right? Just awesome realism.
WOW! Thanks for sharing. Love Deborah Kerr and Gary Cooper!
Gosh, these actors and movies were the best back then. There will never be anything comparable to that time in making movies, the stories, the acting and the sentiments.
Stop being ridiculous.
@briseboy you're no cinema fan, if you were you'd know that the above comment is mostly true...
@@briseboy
If you don't like it, then why are you here?
Yep, they gave a damn.
@@AccentShmaccent- You & @birdlynn417 are SO RIGHT!! Back then, movies had scripts that actually had DIALOGUE - not just one "bleeping" expletive after another And, they were expected to ACT, not just show up and rely on special effects!! It was a different era, & movies/actors were SO MUCH BETTER THEN!!
Gary Cooper and Peter Cushing -
Different styles but both excellent actors...with screen presence.
Beautifully done by all, great screenplay, brilliant acting, great title, music superb, saw it in the sixties, never gets old, well done.
Good movie, thanks for the upload!
Good yarn with many an unexpected twist. Tension right to the end. Thanks for the upload!
You’re welcome 😊and it must be stated: Two Glenn Close films have a connection to this movie: "Jagged Edge" (1985) - knife reference in the similar titles and SPOILER AHEAD: "Fatal Attraction" (1987), climax in the bathroom.
definitely one of the best Brit movies I've seen on TH-cam...gotta get my wife to watch it!!
Great film! Love Deborah Kerr! She acted her role so well as the wife so tortured by her suspicion that her husband was the real murderer. The suspense was awesome! Had me guessing right to the very end! Thanks for uploading this wonderful old film.
Glad that you enjoyed it.
Thank You, I haven’t seen this in a long time 😍
The star of this film has got to be the cinematographer. ❤
The way the film is shot and the angles and shadows are amazing. Something which is lost on the film makers of today unfortunately.
Deborah Kerr really carried the movie. A wonderful performance, hitting every note of distress and anguish, a woman haunted by doubt wades through seeking elusive answers.
OMGOSH!!! What a guesser!!! Right to the end; back and forth! 2 of my favorites- Miss Kerr and the Coop. Legends both!❤❤
IMDb lists the release date as June 28, 1961 in Helena, Montana (Gary Cooper's birthplace). Approximately 6 weeks earlier (May 13, 1961) Mr. Cooper passed away from cancer. He turned 60 years old a week earlier (May 7, 1961).
Super duper Gary Cooper!!! Lol. Thank you🙏🏽
You're so welcome. Enjoy.
I’m always looking for Deborah Kerr Movies ❤
Terrific film with a great cast! Joseph Stefano wrote a great screenplay (creator of The Outer Limits) and screenwriter of Psycho. Gary Cooper was at the end of his career, Deborah Kerr in her prime. Altogether a treat. Noticed in the credits Producer Marlon Brando Sr.! Ha! Who knew?
I saw that, also, and was surprised and confused. But I recall Brando's mother was an actress, no? So, apparently his dad was also in the entertainment industry
Thank you for posting this wonderful edge of your seat movie!!..☺👍🌈i live the old movies!
Glad you enjoyed it.
WOW ! Really enjoyed this ,such Hitchcock like suspense😍😘
Wow!! What a movie!! I'm on the floor gasping for breath. The nerve-wracking suspense. . .Holy Frog!! 😮😮😮
phew!
So great! Can't believe it's new to me all these years...Cooper is so great playing a would be villan omgerd Deborah Kerr so many great actors ..what a true movie does wraps you up and ur there with them for a bit. Would've been a happy customer at the theatre 😅😊❤
Wow, what a thriller! I was on the edge of my seat. Great screenplay by the guy who wrote Psycho. Never heard of this movie but the acting, plot, and pacing were all brilliant.
And that ending - pre-dates "Fatal Attraction"! Title is also pre-cursor to "Jagged Edge" (1985 - also stars Glenn Close) which describes a knife's edge.
at first I hope he didnt kill his boss and I kept that hope throughout the plot although all the evidence betell the he was guilty..such a relief that he was not..
Filmed Oct.-Dec. 1960. Gary Cooper died May 1961 11:30 Gary Cooper was in pain due to cancer, but Deborah Kerr I think improvised, "your shoulder again".
Sounds like he really was a "trooper." 😢
@@ADAMSIXTIES how Terribly Sad
GARY COOPER WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS IN HISTORY R.I.P.
Coop out Bogies Bogey in this one!
I second that! Some people have no idea! We do!
Brilliant!
This reminds me of an Alfred Hitchcock film...so much suspense! Great movie and plot!
One of the best movies ever.
Nice to see Hermione Gingold on screen. Truly one the acting professions eccentric and illustrious characters on and off screen.
GREAT MOVIE !!!!!!!!
Very tidy! Great cast, pros turning in fine work.
Great flick! Full of suspense! Thanks for uploading it.
Glad you enjoyed it.
This was Gary Cooper's last film he was dying from cancer and recovering from two surgeries in the spring of 1960, so to people that say he could not act I say that you are fools that don't know what you are talking about.
Very clever and suspenseful story line. Good b/w classic movie!
Gary Cooper's final performance
Never thought I’d be afraid of Gary Cooper😅
Gary Cooper was an excellent actor!
You who say he isn't are wrong! They went on more than just looks.
He was in pain here, still out acted many others! :)
They had incredible voices.
Very good movie 🍿
May be last movie if this great legendary actor of golden era.Gary was one of the frontline actor of thirties to mid fifties.
No, He was much older when he made a movie with Audry Hepburn and Maurice Chevalier......"Love in the Afternoon".....a wonderful movie!
@@j1947m - Actually, "Love in the Afternoon" was made in 1957 - FOUR YEARS prior to this movie. He merely looked younger in that film; possibly he was healthier then.
Brilliant!!!! Fabulous!!! Bless whoever uploaded this!! 🙏 ❤
It's me! Thank you.
Excellent movie 🎉
Deborah Kerr… such class 😊
I love Kerr. She's a great actress, and always so elegant and utterly beautiful, too
Great film & stage actor Eric Portman also excellent in many films dear murderer, 49th parallel, canterbury tale etc etc. Thank you
This film feels like a Hitchcock movie. Great suspenseful drama. Deborah Kerr, so petite and
beautiful. No plump up lips, no artificial cheek bones, An English rose beauty.
Gary Cooper was 6' 3", Deborah Kerr was 5' 6", not too petite.
Looking out over the water upon the property of interest...Wife; "has something good happened"? Husband; "Yes, I've made a killing".
A stunning 1961 movie!❤
Nowadays movies are just rubbish!❤
Thank you!
You are welcome.
@ 🌹🇮🇹🇬🇧
I like the movies angle of shots
Great direction, acting especially by Deborah Karr, she never falters in giving a good performance. Her closeup when she faces her husband at the end with her eyes being lit was just amazing. Gary Cooper and the actress who played Heath's wife were good too. Background score was decent. Hoped the screenplay was better written to build up more into thr suspense and the climax a bit more well executed, felt it dragged on more by a minute or two but otherwise an entertaining watch.
Excellent movie.
Thank you.
Blessings
May God Bless.
I knew Gary Cooper could never be the bad guy! Great actor, and Deborah Kerr so beautiful allways! I never knew he passed away that long ago!😢
He was suffering from terminal cancer while making this film. It was his last. 😢
Great movie
Wow! That was great; had me hooked to the end.
Same!!
Very Hitch-esque camera angles and excellent lighting and cinematography propel this psychological thriller, with powerful performances by all the cast. Not a dropped moment. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Some of the bass notes of the movie’s music soundtrack are really distorted. Otherwise, it’s a really good movie I was glad to see again. Thanks
How much suspense can one include in a movie! I had to take a break, when it was too much! Right before bedtime 😰
Great actors, Gary and Deborah, they were a true match as a couple, in this one. That's quite an achievement, we seldom see such finesse in present day movies, where performance, and status of role are equal to showing off, a measuring stick, and the use of sensational impact resembling cheap cardboard props. 👋👩🌾
Terrific movie
I kept thinking he must some how be innocent.
Hermione was a real treasure, it was nice seeing her
Wow! This movie is filled with so much suspense! Great script and actors! Thanks for providing this great gem of cinema
Glad you enjoyed.
Superb! Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
Gary Cooper’s final act. He was only 60, and Deborah Kerr was 40. There is a kind of tortured expression on Gary Cooper’s face in this movie. Maybe he knew…
Yes he looks tortured, to quote you.
Solid film. Thanks
Wow! Acting, drama, first class
That was a very good movie! Thank you!! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great movie & what an ending too.
Very compelling movie with twists and turns. You probably won't guess the end.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Great artists. Great movie. Watching it for 2nd time.
Such a great movie 🍿🎥
Well...that was good...involved and switching suspects...thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper ❤❤❤
Incredible suspense! Worthy of Alfred Hitchcock!
That was a great movie on my toes.
🇫🇷 Très grand film de suspense. Formidable intrigue. Et Acteurs exceptionnels. Déborah Kerr et Gary Cooper tout particulièrement. Ces Acteurs autrefois, ces films comme on en voit plus.j’ai aimé énormément. Merci pour ce Cadeau 🙏🙏🙏
Ce film a connu un énorme succès. J'apprécie vos commentaires.
@@sfinthecity Merci. C’est vrai. C’est un film exceptionnel sur tous les Plans 🥰
Although brief, I thought the best performance was of the movie was Diane Cilento as the wife of the man found guilty. She married Sean Connery a year after this film was released.
Cilento had that devilishly but sweet kitten look to her- I wish I could see more of her work.
2 of her husbands were Sean Connery (their son is Jason) and last spouse was Anthony Shaffer, award winning writer (Sleuth, Frenzy, The Wicker Man)
Her 1st husband was an Italian aristocrat, Andrea Volpe.
Silly music cues during zoom-ins to close-ups in the courtroom scene at the beginning almost comically over;y - dramatic, but rest of film is pretty decent/imaginatively photographed/good performances.. Always a pleasure to see Peter Cushing.
This is my 3rd attempt to watch it, but that ridiculous overly dramatized scene has put me off so much that I just can't watch it!
I agree entirely! It's just awful!
What an amazing movie.
Do NOT reveal the secret to anyone ! Pretty good movie....that you never heard of.
Yes, it was great!
Terrific film. Thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it.
This is a VERY GOOD movie.
Always enjoyable to watch Deborah Kerr. Deborah in the great mini series A Woman of Substance was awesome back when tv had quality programming read the book series n the tv adaption was perfect just my opinion
After some 64 years, the cat could be let out of the bag. Coop's last movie, and it wasn't a Western.
Coop!
Good movie
Wow chilling to the last.
Gary Cooper was an excellent actor.
No, he wasn't!! Maybe the worst actor ever. Flat. The same in every movie; totally unconvincing.
@@sg-vp2qg My opinion too, exactly! He was awful!
Agreed. Why he was extolled I'll never know. Our eyes don't lie.
@@sg-vp2qg he was brilliant
If I took a drink each time Gary Cooper said, "Martha."
No office lights, who works in an office at night with no lights on?
SPOILER ahead. Big question: why did the blackmailer blackmail the husband since he knew he was the killer and it would raise suspicion about him and he knew the husband didn't have the money that burned up? He would have gotten off scot-free.
Because he knew the husband had come into money with his big business deal and he might be able to scare him into paying up to avoid suspicion.
Poor wife, she is really scared, and so smart. Bless her heart. Where is the receipts for the stock money that he says he got? That's what I would have wanted to see from day one. This lady needs to run from her husband, NOW.
He should have still had the investment documents, especially for tax purposes for several years. But he did say he may have had them at the office and not at home.
watched a Fantastic movie after a long long time!!
Accusatory mocking laundry was worthy of a Hitch project! Almost a cross between Rear Window and The Birds!
Be careful not to read comments until you watch the whole movie. 😊❤
A long movie 1hr. 40. A cocktail of , mystery, who did it, innuendos, confusion, marital stress, upper and lower classes,. Mixed with dark shadows, dramatic music, and a selection of British, American and Australian faces. Moves into top gear towards the end .
Wilding makes an appearance halfway into the movie. Dont see his presence often enough in fims.
HE WAS AT THE TRIAL IN THE BEGGINING ......
@@maxlinder5262 You don't need to scream at people! Stop with the allcaps!
😂 George and Martha lol
فلم اكثرمن رائع شكراًجزيلاً
مسرور لأنك استمتعت بها.
wow the suspense
Hi
Beautiful Diane Cilento! Love her raspy voice! Sean Connery’s first wife. They should have shown her reunited with her wrongly convicted husband! Would have been the best ending for this film!
This movie kind of grated on my nerves.
Yes, it was meant to do that. It does it very well. It made me a nervous wreck. But it was worth it. It is a brilliant film.
