Best line in decades "Well, what a nasty individual HE turned out to be!!" GREAT dialogue, ALWAYS fascetious n slightly snide, but humorously true, ergo, the person hearing it can relate to it from experience which makes it so humorous!!! Film Noir genre is my favourite!!! The best black n whites with the snappiest dialogue, the most elegant n classy wardrobes, furnishings, cars, n the total ambience of the movie resonates a time gone by that had a mist unique n stimulating hue or feel n look to the entire film!!!

Just an observation : "Mike" the (perhaps) Stage Manager is a very convincing natural actor. Esp at 26:49 Its the little parts that make a big picture.

@@robertwalker5521 I used to listen to a TON of audiobooks. Almost all of them seemed to include "foyer". Pronounced both ways. But usually rhyming with lawyer. A little thing I'd usually do is repeat it, loudly. Matching the pronunciation. (I live alone.)
Thanks for this also. I lived in the Big 🍎 for more years than I can count. (Math was never my métier. I try to stay out of the double digits. I don’t, I end up hopelessly lost or in trouble... or both.) You can put book on this when I tell you that I’ve seen the Phantom of 42nd Street. Or rather one of his offspring, anyway, this movie having been before I was a gleam in my old man’s eye. He used to hang around the penny arcades and the peep shows and the burlesque houses and the Orange Julius stands and the Nathan’s Hot Dog joint and he’d oogle - no, not Google - ogle - all the good looking dames he’d set his 👁 👁 on and make comments to them what you wouldn’t want to repeat to your mother. A real creep. Course this was before the Big 🍎’s sanitation dept went in there with a jumbo sized bottle of Lysol and a mop and cleaned house, you understand. And don’t ask me how I knew the Phantom of 42nd Street hung around the penny arcades and the peep shows and the burlesque houses and ogled all the good looking dames. I just know, is all. At any rate, the Big 🍎 used to be a lot more interesting than it is now.
"You better have an air-tight alibi!" No, he doesn't need one. People are innocent until proven guilty. Having no alibi is not evidence of guilt. And if the police arrest him and he turns out to be innocent, he can sue them for false arrest. This is why they don't arrest people unless they have a solid case against them. And how is it the killer fired a gun in a crowded theater and nobody heard it? This movie is okay, good performances by all the leads, and the idea of a theater critic solving a murder is original. The script is kind of weak, however, since it requires the killer to do something abysmally stupid to be caught.
So Dave O'Brien's real last name was Fronabarger--about as Irish as the Kaiser--and he was Joe Doakes from the comedy shorts. I remember him. He died rather young but he must have been doing OK because he raced yachts. He appeared as a cowboy in a few Westerns as "Tex O'Brien"--too bad he hadn't the nerve to be Tex Fronabarger. Alan Mowbray is currently appearing a ghost in a downtown L.A. bar he used to hang out at (no, I'm not fooling).
@@freedomspirit2000 Sorry I didn't answer you sooner. I watched a video on the ghosts of Hollywood one time and the ghost hunters went into a bar where he was said to be the resident spirt. I didn't pay attention to the bar's name. I believe I remember it being near Hollywood and Vine. Mawbray used to walk to it just about every afternoon and knock back a few. After he kicked the bucket, they said, he still hung around. If you search for that video on the Internet chances are you'll find it.

I always enjoy Frank Jenks, Alan Mowbray rather under used here gives a magnificent performance in "That Hamilton Woman". I apologize to everyone who likes this movie but I think it's badly acted and not well written. It feels more like it was scripted by a writer of serials more than a full feature writer. In fact I watched it over a four night period as I found it too formulaic, and like Larry Carmody in the comments section I also didn't get who did the murders as there was no establishing shot. I just can't bring myself to go back into this inferior film to figure it out. And oh yes, I did like the waitress who blew her chance to be on the stage. I thought she played it well, and was the only bright spark in the film. No denigration implied toward Frank Jenks.

@19:21, the background music is Boccherini's String Quintet in E major, Op. 11 #5~ in case you wondered : )
One of my favourites...so I went there first to hear it, now will watch the film. :)
Another great old movie! Perfect blend of drama and comedy...

I love in old movies they say “get a load of this” lol. Fun movie!

Now this mystery got me. I never even suspected. Wow. Great flowing through.
It is always funny in old movies that the driver of the car gets in the passenger side and slide to diver side. Very strange
Most cars had bench seats and parallel parked. That's how it was taught at the licensing bureau back then- kept you out of traffic.
I thought I was the only one who ever noticed that!
My Grandfather always did - for safety reasons
Much safer, I miss bench seats. Cars lack class now.
With scuba gear? Are you "Diver Dan"?
Just imagine the amount of metal that went into those cars.
Thank You for the feature this afternoon, It was fine acting and just a tad funny🤗.
A little lol ,haha
The cabbie was my favorite character...he was the most natural compared to the others. Cheesy and schmaltzy, but fun!
