I don't know how I never heard of this one before. No dialogue the whole way through. Haha. After ten minutes, I thought it was great but the dialogue would be happening soon. About thirty minutes in, I thought yeah, there's not going to be any dialogue. I think I'm so used to people talking in movies but this one actually made me pay closer attention and the suspense is incredible. Another big feather in Ray Milland's cap. I loved that guy in the Lost Weekend and Dial "M" for Murder. A serious talent. Gonna have to watch more of his films. Thank you so much for sharing this movie.
First time ever seeing a movie without dialogue and it was excellent. Ray Milland was such a wonderful actor I knew I couldn’t go wrong watching this film. I’m 84 and have always liked Ray Milland’s movies I’ll give this movie a 👍🏼up.🥰❤️
I have seen this movie several times. It is a great film. I am 57 years old and this is the only movie that I have seen in my lifetime where not one word was spoken. So cool. Also love seeing Martin Gabel in this. He was a great actor as well. Gabel is well known for his appearances on the What’s My Live TV game show. 👍👍
@@maureenl.rogers2193 Yes! Arlene was awesome. That was a great game show. Sometimes I go binge watch those old episodes here on TH-cam. So much better than the garbage that’s on TV now.
I am 73 and I had never seen this film. It was certainly different without any dialogue but that just added to the suspense and tension. The 1950's were a very tense time in the Cold War between the U.S. and Russia. They spied on us and we spied on them. They killed our agents and we killed their agents.
@@diannemiller1895 ...Yes...and this reminds us of the silent movie era before Hollyweird worked out how to add sound to the film. Those actors/actresses had to rely on body and facial movement to convey what was happening; along with the captions and music that was added post-production.
Excellent and great performance by ray as expected. Thank you for providing this interesting movie very much appreciated!! Good displayed screen resolution also noted!and such a beautiful marriage of music to rays facial expressions!! Absolutely stunning
Ray Milland was stellar! He should have won an Oscar for this. Can't believe I have never heard of this one before or have seen it already. It is definitely a classic and one of the most dramatic but unusual movies I have ever seen. The deeper you get into it the more it grows on you
Ray Midland always put out a great performance. The two Columbo episodes he was in I enjoyed very much. He was English but became an American. He was married only once which is rare for that profession. He got an Academy Award. He was a very nice man, however the poor man was usually cast as the bad guy.
I was tempted to switch off a couple of times, but curiosity got the better of me and I watched it all the way through. Glad I did, it’s an Interesting movie.
Silent cinema back in 1952, how extraordinary! Ray Milland's finest hour, in my view better even than LOST WEEKEND or THE BIG CLOCK. I have a feeling that Jean-Pierre Melville watched this film ahead of LE SAMURAI. Thanks for posting
Mr Milland could be said to be The Actor of the genre during Film noir... Not a word ... just excellent communication via the nonverbal!! Thank you Thank you!
@antoniodalfonso: the "Actor known for Film Noir" is Robert Mitchum. You obviously haven't seen most of the actors in this genre. Do your research & watch. This film genre was invented by German Jewish director, Edgar Ulmer, with his shoe strong budget film, DETOUR. Read Eddie Miller's books. He is the expert. Watch him on TCM. Kirk Douglas, Robert Taylor, James Cagney, Robert Montgomery, Dick Powell, Victor Mature also did Noirs.
John Payne, Burt Lancaster & Cornel Wilde also did famous Noirs. The ladies of Film Noir are Lizabeth Scott, Audrey Totter, Veronica Lake, Jane Greer & Marie Windsor, Ava Gardner.
@@pearlbrandwein4731 oh i have watched many many films, gee, i am a filmmaker and a professor of film. Yes, Mitchum, of course, but but but Milland just stands out in the films he plays in. Mitchum is the obvious dark character. Milland is so cunning. And troubled (Dial M)... The not-evident film noir actor. Which I think is what made film noir exciting thirty years later! The not obvious films... I was just reacting emotionally to this film I had no idea existed. I am 71 and I have been watching films since 1959. Never saw this one. An amazing work. 0:02
@@antoniodalfonso As a former professor myself, I understand your thought process and the enraptured feeling inspired in you by Milland in this role. The Welsh-born Milland was a good actor. He deserved his awards for The Lost Weekend. Nevertheless, I always thought that he was a better actor when challenged by his costars especially women such as Bette Davis in The Man Who Played God; Barbara Stanwyck in California and -- in particular -- Charles Laughton in The Big Clock. My favorite film of his is Alias Nick Beale opposite the Film Noir femme fatale, Audrey Totter in a unique version of the Faust legend. Even though Ray Milland was a good actor, my favorite is the greatest actor of all time -- bar none -- Charles Laughton.
If anyone had told me that I would thoroughly enjoy a suspenseful, psychodrama that was devoid of any dialogue I'd tell them, sure thing! Meaning I highly doubt it. Everyone played their parts beautifully. I love this movie, it's a Masterpiece of film making, story line, musical scores and superb acting. 2 Thumbs Up. 😊
Wonderful locations and footage of the Empire State Building. I wonder how they got permission to film above the 102nd floor. Not since King Kong have I seen anybody filmed up there. Worth watching and listening, Thank you!
What the hell! Not ONE WORD for one hour and twenty-six minutes of a film. A very first for me who is an avid film noir viewer! But I can relate! As a professional performer who entertained at every conceivable venue and never said a word until I became “the world’s only talking mime” I can certainly appreciate an entire film where the principal actor never utters a word! So there! BRAVO!👍🏽🤪
Cold war noir. Milland of course, is perfect for a role such as his. As was Rita Gam 👀in hers. You know Dr. Allan had a troubled mind to turn away from her sultry come-on. Excellent photography and score. Thanks RM
Wow! Rita Gam is a stunningly beautiful woman in the tradition of Eva Gardner (see ~54:30). First movie that I've seen her in. Thanks for posting. (Note: see ~59:15 for producer's hickie.)
I was waiting, like a mug, for the dialogue. Half an hour in, I realized from the comments there's none. Getting paid to not talk must be every actor's dream role.
14:31 has a beautiful shot of on of Howard Hughes' Lockheed Constellations flying low in front of old NYC with the SInger skyscraper building at dead center, just above where the wings meet the plane. Singer building was demolished approx. 1969 and is rarely seen in films.
I'd give the rest of my life to live one day in 1952 in NYC. The Automat, 21, Lutece, Copacabana, Jilly's. 500 clubs with full orchestras and dancing. Women with dresses. Clean shaven men with wool suits and leather shoes. Proper English, good manners, respect for others. That unwavering confidence in the future of your family and your country. Doctors that work to keep you healthy. All the things that have been missing for the last 50 years. Now we are just overgrown children, heavily drugged with patented medicines.
Great movie! I've seen Ray Milland in other movies but I have never seen this one. I thought there would be dialog somewhere in the movie but it never happened. That was great because it made the movie more suspenseful. The only thing that I didn't like was the way too many commercial interruptions.
Great movie. Ray Milland's character was torn apart by how his life had crumbled. He wouldn't have been able to get into that last area in the Empire State Building. Buildings are pretty secure.
When you consider when this was made, I guess we can say that John Krasinski's "A Quiet Place" (2018), wasn't all that. Obviously, its hook of minimal dialogue was done many decades before and much better at that.
THAT WOMAN AT 100.30 HAS SOMETHING.. I BET ANY MONEY.. IF IT WAS ME I WOULDNT MESS AROUND LET HER GET AWAY.. I WOULD DEFINITELY BE OVER TALKING 2 HER MAYBE A DRINK SHE LOOKS LIKE A NICE GIRL I COULD BE WRONG..MY EX GIRLFRIEND WAS A NICE GIRL YEARS AGO 2.. WERE STILL FRIENDS.. THERE I GO AGAIN RAMBLING ON AGAIN 4GET THE POINT BUT U KNOW.. OK BACK 2 THE MOVIE.. STILL NOT 1 WORD SAVED ALOT ON SCRIPT I THINK..
This film is almost unwatchable because of stuttering, or jumping of image. I believe this is less to do with TH-cam’s refreshing the data, than the original file incorrectly formatted. Retro Music, please see if this film is being output at the correct frames per second.
That camera angle fro 1:09:00 to 1:09:20 is very dramatic but I'm waiting to understand how the agent knew to follow the woman carrying the books. Oh well,
Sin dialogo como las peliculas mudas solo con la musica y grandes actuaciones , esto ya no se ve en el cine actual y los actores de hoy se creen Dioces y no le llegan a punta del zapato a estos actores del gran cine negro.

I have been watching now for 25 minutes and I love the dialoque. Not a word is spoken. Well, I am a Finn.
You Finns finnish me off lol 😂
It reminds me of Hitchcock’s “Rope”…continuous suspense while being told an entire story…without dialogue!!!Brilliant!!!!
This is the longest I have ever seen that they never say a word for so long.👤🗡💰

The 1950's were a very tense time in the Cold War between the U.S. and Russia. They spied on us and we spied on them. They killed our agents and we killed their agents.
And so that spying and killing has continued; us, them, others; as it will until the End. ☮✝
It's a real test of quality acting if ther is no dialogue. Ther is mor work involved at being convincing. 👏
@@diannemiller1895 The camera is the most important actor in this tour de force --- and secondly, the score.

Very interesting film. Milland nails it with his facial expressions. Great actor.

Man O Man I lOVE IT!! 'yeh 'Ray Milland' he is something else as the Classic screen actor !!!
He played in two episodes of Columbo
A excellent movie with suspenseful music soundtrack.
An ....
Ray Milland was such a good actor. I remember watching the man with X-ray eyes as a child and having sleepless nights
This type of non-verbal communication with the central character could never work today, but back then, it was a work of art.
Nobody talking. Just background music. I wish my life was like that.
😂
Phew, Thanks. I thought I'd gone deaf !
No iPhones

MAGNIFICENT !!!
THANK YOU !

This is like the silent movie. Very intriguing.
A classic!

Desde pequeños, Ray Milland es uno de mis actores favoritos ( El Hombre con Ojos de Rayos X )Y esta película es fascinante!!
The old street scenes, inside of Empire state building made up for the longest funeral I ever attended.
Ray Milland? Count me in!
I liked that Milland film where he goes on a bender for the weekend. Can’t remember the name of it tho.
The Lost Weekend
@@jayess4062 Right--THE LOST WEEKEND - 1945, for which Ray won Best Actor.
Right--THE LOST WEEKEND - 1945, for which Ray won Best Actor. No surprise, as it was directed by Billy Wilder.
No dialogue, love it
great movie! masterpiece!
FIRST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN WITH NO DIALOG / UNREAL COULD NOT WATCH IT ALL THE WAY
Ray Milland: "This was one of my favorite films, but I could never remember my lines"?
Sensacional! 👏
I guess we all feel the same. Only freakouts!
EXCELLENT !!!!!😊. Like a Silent Film. with sound effects...
Wow! Rita Gam is a stunningly beautiful woman in the tradition of Eva Gardner (see ~54:30). First movie that I've seen her in. Thanks for posting.

Gostei do filme. A falta de diálogos não impede a compreensão do assunto. Obrigado pela postagem.
Thank you so much
Thanks.
Termino de ver esta pelicula sorprendoda por su falta de dialogo pero viendo una muy buena interpretacion de Ray Milland Entemdi poco
I wish I could see Lost Weekend again. Ray was great in that.
14:31 has a beautiful shot of on of Howard Hughes' Lockheed Constellations flying low in front of old NYC with the SInger skyscraper building at dead center, just above where the wings meet the plane. Singer building was demolished approx. 1969 and is rarely seen in films.
What a brilliant dialogue
My uncle worked as the script consultant on this film.
28 MINS IN 2 THIS.. CAN SOMEBODY TELL IS THIS 1 OF THEM OLD SILENT MOVIES..
Silence is golden . ❤
Excellent!!!
a masterclass in acting ... too bad not enough people know Ray Milland ... : /

can u please upload High Flight 1957 ray milland full hd 720p 1080p
It's a movie about ringing phones and footstep sounds and also some doors opening and closing. 😒
Have you ever considered a career as a professional movie reviewer?

I want a tiny spy camera
No hay subtitulos en español. Gracias!
Not one of Ray Millands greats, a bit drawn out....but love him as an actor.
Thanks 👀🧞.
This is telepathic
Documentary 🌀.
Wow. and nary a word was spoken:) Never saw this before. Excellent. Dumb ending...
No surprise that Ray died of lung cancer.
......and he lived happily ever after.....
Martin Gabel was married to Arlene Francis. Back in the 1950s/1960s, both appeared on the TV game show "What's My Line?"
Great movie. Ray Milland's character was torn apart by how his life had crumbled. He wouldn't have been able to get into that last area in the Empire State Building. Buildings are pretty secure.
.... Haa! If he wasn't a 'friggin' actor, he would have never gotten up and walked outside!!!!!
I only heard the lady scream that was it great movie
It's like a silent movie 🎉
I like Ray Milland, but this is boring. Exiting after l/3 of the movie.
A. cinematic experiment that flopped
Ray Milland was Welsh
When you consider when this was made, I guess we can say that John Krasinski's "A Quiet Place" (2018), wasn't all that. Obviously, its hook of minimal dialogue was done many decades before and much better at that.
Thank you for the great movie.
❤
A criminal puts himself in jail before the justice system does. Just like chain smoking kills you before you get sick and die . . .
What great dialogue, kudos to the script writer.
I think it was adapted from a book but I don't remenber the name of it.
Seen a lot of movies, but this one is the strangest I've ever seen. Makes no since. ? No main plot.
It's a silent film! Ray Milland is perfect with his perpetually dour demeanor.
An interesting exercise, but... I shall say no more.

Brilliant, innovative use of scene, pacing and soundtrack music to tell a story without using a script. But film noir it isn't.
Nail-biting suspense! If only they didn't talk quite so much! 🤐🤨
I'm not going to say a word about this movie

Martin Gabel's name is misspelled in the credits! Gable instead of Gabel.
I'd subscribe if effort was shown in adding a synopsis.
So much smoking that it made me feel like vomiting. I guess that was how it was in the 1950s.
