Stars: Charles Starrett, Robert Warwick, Edward Van Sloan Director: Charles Lamont An amateur sleuth solves three murders at his son's New England college.
I’m surprised the younger generation has the attention span for anything longer than 15 minutes. They have the focus in the attention span of a gnat. Write anything longer than 160 characters, and they glaze over and can’t follow along. We can write all kinds of things about them, we just have to write a bunch of gibberish for 160 characters, and then we can get real, haha.
Ahhhh, the tiresome fight scenes. Boring. If you’re a real man or woman, you end it quickly. Most fights are over in seconds. I’ve long since quit going to modern movies, I don’t like the garbage they put out. I don’t need any predictive programming, or any other kind of programming. I am well aware of the agenda, after all it’s been published, i already know my responses and actions years ahead of time. It’s astounding what people voluntarily put in their heads. They allow the media to mentally and spiritually vomit all over them, while they swallowed up and try to turn around and regurgitated back up all over anyone who will listen. And then they complain about their stress, and I just unhappy in general. Here’s an idea, they could stop letting the media puke on them every day. There are proactive things that can be done, you don’t need to know about every fire being sent to know how to put out fires. I will choose more wisely what I put into my head and spirit, but the last time I saw any movie from this century (which was many years ago, I can’t actually remember the last one), they had mastered the tiresome, tedious fight scene to an all time low of boring.
Edward Van Sloan, Per IMDB he had 88 acting credits, including two roles in Frankenstein, Dr Waldman and a role where he comes out in the prologue to warn viewers it might be too much for them.
Eddie Tamblyn is father to Larry and Russ. Russ was "Riff" in West Side Story and "Gideon" in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. His daughter Amber is an actress, was Emily Quartermaine in the soap General Hospital. Acting runs in the family obviously.
remember russ T in 7 Brides.., in albuquerque at Sunshine Theatre, my grandma took me with her to see the movie... then High School Confidential, so R&R cool...and then ooola-la, later russ in xxx Peyton Place.. LOL
It's always some Step child of secret children and someone always wants to end them. truly horrific. The Merc was eliminating witnesses. sounds like current policy's and corruption in our Leaders. IMHO
I'll call the doctor. No wait don't call the doctor he could be alive! You go upstairs and pull his body up by the rope still attached to his neck. Wow that is stupid!
The police should most certainly have something to say about the strong student pulling up a dead corpse, putting him inside where the body is in a different environment and actually having the full rope removed from around his neck which could have all been used intact to have the investigating medical examiner do his/her job… stupid and criminal- the first and for to be primary suspect… the man twisting and turning the rope in his hands and looking down as he moves away! He has fibers of rope all over him. The thick rope could be used as a coverup to allow for the idea he killed himself… where was this rope before? Was it in a storage room?
An amateur sleuth (Robert warrick) solves three murders at his son’s (Charles starrett) New England college! The murders are linked to an inheritance one of the victims was supposed to get when he turned 21! The killer is unmasked at the end of the movie 🍿.Charles starrett later played the Durango kid in a series of westerns in the 1940’s-this muster mystery film was good to watch! 😊😊😊😊😊
A very good movie. Hard to hear. And there's no fixing the sound on mobile devices? Now why can't movies be this good and done in approximately one hour today?
I've seen some Comments about the low volume setting. *There are two controls right in front of you. One is in the lower left corner of the screen; set that to its maximum. The other is in the row of icons in the lower right corner. Use that one to adjust the volume, and you can get it ABOUT THAT LOUD if you want to.
@@PatriciaKeel-ig9ni The last word in your sentence tells you the problem right there. You need a PC screen to see anything. I have a desktop monitor and a mouse to work with.
Life must have been very hard on peoplel in the old days; all those college students look as if they are in their 30s Or maybe they only graduated from high school in their 30s (actually that would explain why they didnt seem the sharpest minds in the world) 😁😁
Based on a book titled 'The Dartmouth Murders' I can only hope it is more clearly written than the script for this mishmash film. The dialogue and actions of finding the hanging student at the beginning of the film is absolutely appalling. Script writer and director both at horrible fault here. A very good sieve could be made of the holes in the plot. So did I enjoy this movie? well I kind of did. Partly due to the fact the actors were, for the most part, better than flaws in the film. Charles Starrett does a credible job. So far the best movie I've seen him in is 'The Mask of Fu Manchu', 1932 with a superb evil performance by Myrna Loy. Lots of cliché in 'A Shot in the Dark', I'd count them but I, er, am ah, can't count that high.
Has anyone other than myself noticed that Black people didn't exist in these movies, or if we existed at all it is as domestic help or as the butt of mean-spirited jokes? Sadly not much has changed since c1935.
Noticed how callous everyone’s response is upon discovering a hanged roommate? Wow. You’d expect them to be horrified and grieving! Is this unemotional reaction a cultural thing or just lousy directing/acting?
Why can't movies be only 68 minutes long these days? I don't need 2 1/2 hour epics every time I go to the movies lol

Charles Starrett Played Drango Kid westerns in the movies ..Back in the 1950's..When I was a kid..Good Old Days..
Loved the movie 🎬. Thanx for sharing.
I was looking for Inspector Cluso but found this delightful film of the same title. Interesting murder weapon and plot twists.
What a great film.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
Love this movie. The opening scenes did look like Hanover.
I almost expected to see the old Campions Store.
Really liked Charles Starrett in "The Durango Kid" series. His fight scenes didn't drag on as was the custom in most westerns back then.
I know it's pretty off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Adrien Everett lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it :)

I thought he played Dr. Van Helsing in Dracula?
@@DavidRice111 He did Pretty prolific with Universal in the time
@@DavidRice111 Yes, that too.

Tom Thumb,The Haunting,The Fastedlst
Fastest gun alive and Peyton Place.
remember russ T in 7 Brides.., in albuquerque at Sunshine Theatre, my grandma took me with her to see the movie... then High School Confidential, so R&R cool...and then ooola-la, later russ in xxx Peyton Place.. LOL
I was wondering if Russ was his son. He was in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and The Haunting...
Tamblyn was Oscar nominated for BSA for "Peyton Place" (1957) as Norman Paige.
..also in "War of the Gargantuas"
Audio was pretty bad but the movie was actually pretty good. Interesting plot. Thanks!

Great wee movie , thanks for uploading it . very enjoyable . ☺👍👍👍
called murder
Had to bring my speaker forward to hear but it was worth watching.

Should touch the body.
Should not touch the body.

You need 'a real computer', i.e., a desktop model with a larger screen to work with.
I've seen some Comments about the low volume setting. *There are two controls right in front of you. One is in the lower left corner of the screen; set that to its maximum. The other is in the row of icons in the lower right corner. Use that one to adjust the volume, and you can get it ABOUT THAT LOUD if you want to.
Those computer controls simply do not help many movies. I bought an aux. speaker set from Logitech and eliminated all such issues!
I do not see those icons on my phone.

Robert Warwick has a voice like Sir Cedric Hardwicke.
Looks good but the sound quality was so poor could not follow the dialogue. Perhaps needs text to follow.
Good entertainment when one is ill.
Nice movie
4 years ago this one 👍
Has anyone noticed the strong resemblance between Charles Starrett, here, and the actor Kane Richmond?
Audio not great, too quiet. ❤Looks like a good one, but I can barely hear it. 😭
Subtitles could help
I bought an aux. speaker set from Logitech and eliminated all such issues!
Even with subtitles, I had trouble.
Life must have been very hard on peoplel in the old days; all those college students look as if they are in their 30s Or maybe they only graduated from high school in their 30s (actually that would explain why they didnt seem the sharpest minds in the world) 😁😁
It's casting I think
👍☺
Don't touch the body before the police arrive.x
Haha And the local police never had the opportunity to investigate a murder in their entire careers, not even this one…
Pls upload garrison 13, battalion 13 and kumander sundang. Thanks
I’m the one with no feelings, huh?
You just keep thinking that.
Poetry
even the captions could not be interpreted.
15 mins from the end and I'm confused.
Removing or tampering with all that evidence were doing these dreadful boys or young men need a dozen lashes!
Yes,that's what I thought!Once they saw the body they should have rung the police and left well alone.
those 'students' are awfully old... tough to follow because of so many cuts, and flat audio... not recomended...
Is that Eve Arden at 1.27?
Sorry, no it's not Eve Arden, though the hand on the hip gesture was often used by Arden.
@@thomasgansevoort929 Do you know who it was?
1:00:48
Great cars and no sex LOL
I didn't find anything wrong with the audio
Oh that’s right. I’m the one with no feelings! Hi silly of me to forget.... you haven’t!
Ha !
No one finds me here!
Put downs are no where when you cannot be found. Ha!

Almost all these actors smoked themselves to death, what a shame...
They didn't know smoking was injurios to health,in those days smoking was considered cool
Most of them lived into their 80's, 90's and some even into their 100's.
Olivia de Havilland lived til over 100.Herfather died a month later from the shock.
I protect your name your reputation. You do the exact opposite Third time.

Give us a break with your Woke garbage. Your virtue signaling is a disgrace.
People obviously are not as hung up on race as you are.
