This is a very good film noir to watch while savoring a few cups of Folger's Coffee. Why? Well, for all of you out there who watched TV back in 1960s, you might know that Virginia Christine was Mts. Folgers. (She can also be seen playing a supporting role in The Inner Circle -- which was released the same year as The Invisible Wall.)
Another great black and white movie 🌴enjoyed the casino scene 🦩wonderful to see Jeff Chandler as a very young actor 🌝the croupier’s voice is beautiful as is the background piano music 💃🏾roulette number 6💅everybody is allowed to change his mind 😇thank you again 🎀
I'd say his timing was perfect. Though the hotel's opening was famously a flop, they were on the right track in the year Siegel was killed. Hwy 91 (soon to be known as "the strip") was empty in this shot, but there were things in the other direction: Desert Inn beginning construction in 47, El Rancho Vegas (1941), Last Frontier Hotel (1942), and several smaller clubs and motels.
Virginia Christine may be best remembered as "Mrs. Olson" (or the "Folgers Coffee Woman") in a string of television commercials for Folgers Coffee during the 1960s and 1970s.
Enjoying this film but also feel very frustrated for the Gamblers!!! Wish they would quit whilst ahead. Still , it is the thrill of the Gamble not the winning which matters to these characters.
The forties and the fifties were the best time to live in this country .... There was respect and morality.....locking the door was almost unheard of .... I saw the birth of television, the big breakthrough with the polio Salk vaccine .... the list is long !
😀Good thing then it is no longer true that what happens in post secondary education always must stay only ever just in freshman post secondary education. Why is that? Just a gamble is only sometimes not one at all.
Yeah, keep writing these lame justifications for brain damage until you can no longer come up with anything coherent. It's been happening to several people i know and all they do is twitch and talk out of their heads. I have watched 3 of them go downhill to complete zombies in less than a year and a half. Like one. He wants me to assess his plumbing project. He's gonna put a bathtub in the hallway. I said, in the hallway!? how is anyone gonna get through here to your living room! They would have to climb through your bathtub! He's twitching and blank stare. Then he looks up at the ceiling and starts a long tragic "ooooooooooooooooooooh!!" like a dog howling and shits his pants. It's tragic. It breaks my heart. But I'm done trying to talk sense into them. Another one, she walks up and down the street arguing with herself and jabbing her hands in the air. She's a thief and sells her ass and her meth boyfriend doesn't care because he's too weak to go on without her. He beats her up and has scabs on his face where she tries to claw his eyes out. He slams her down in the middle of the street and breaks her arm. Scabface goes to jail for 30 days for animal cruelty and says any help I give her he will pay me back when he gets out. On day 29 they are into me for $250. She borrows $50 more and asks for a ride. I get gas and stash my wallet in the console compartment. Big mistake. I take her there and she's inside with a construction dude for some kind of transaction. They finally come out and he asks me if I can help him move some heavy lumber. She's in the car. I come back and she's getting out of the car. She says she's decided to stay the night. I leave. I don't check my wallet that night but in the morning $180 bucks is gone. Empty. I moved out of that insane neighborhood several weeks ago and haven't looked back. I have learned that trying to help these people rarely works. They mooch lie and steal from you. They age prematurely, their teeth disintegrate and they destroy brain like brains aren't important either. But still they don't stop. Only one I may have been able to actually help, a sweet charitable artistic woman who, perhaps because of the nature of my love, cut contact with that meth crowd and moved away. With family. She just texted me that she started drawing again. I hope she's really ok. If she really is off that shit then I suppose the entire period of my life was worth it. But I will not subject myself to such zombies ever again. Then I had to deal with pricks trying to insinuate me of meth. I was warned about guilt by association. Society does not recognize trying to help. Most of those sad addicts didn't either. But one. One. I think she's going to be ok.
Like a lot of those black and white crime movies it started out with a feeling of having the potential to be GREAT but at some point it lost traction and at the end I felt let down. Even to show how the case of the Las Vegas murder played out would have made it more interesting. For such a supposedly intelligent young man, he was certainly pretty dumb to not know that the only system for predicting which numbers will show up in roulette is a rigged roulette wheel!!! It's nice to have seen a little slice of old Las Vegas though.
Good Lord, an INVISIBLE wall. What a great idea, why hasn't anyone told Trump about this. So much cheaper to build. About the same cost as the emperor's, er, I mean president's, new clothes!

Simply Superb. Some Great Dialogue in these old Black and White films. Thanks for uploading these great old films.
Thanks for sharing this gritty little gem.
Old is gold, what a fine movie.

Christine was Mts. Folgers. (She can also be seen playing a supporting role in The Inner

This movie should’ve been called, “The Con”😳everybody was a con artist🧐Thank you for uploading these old black and white movies with grit💖❣️❤️
We enjoyed this movie. Thank you very much.
Carl Cohen, a true movie and music critic!

Wowwy! Those peace officers in the opening shot sat up straight through all that swerving and swaying ! They must be gyro-stabilized !
I downloaded this Thank you
That's Mary Gordon @41:14. (Mrs. Hudson in the Sherlock Holmes films starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.)

"the strip" sure was barren looking back then! Seigel had the right idea and vision but was just a little bit(4-5 years) before his time.
I'd say his timing was perfect. Though the hotel's opening was famously a flop, they were on the right track in the year Siegel was killed. Hwy 91 (soon to be known as "the strip") was empty in this shot, but there were things in the other direction: Desert Inn beginning construction in 47, El Rancho Vegas (1941), Last Frontier Hotel (1942), and several smaller clubs and motels.
Good argument...and point of view. Thank You for the history lesson. You may be right!
"That kid's name was Moe Green , and the city he invented was Las Vegas"
ShakespeareCafe : THERES SOME TRUTH , IN OLD MOVIES 🎥 .!!!!!!! . PAY ATTENTION .? . 🚨😎😳🙊🙉🙈🙊😎🚨...

Gambling is for Losers..no pun intended. In the long run it it extremely unlikely that you can beat the house.
bad..this movie made me pace the floor watching that part too.

Thanks for posting, where the hell do you guys find these movies? I think I lived in the 40s or at least I wish I did
John Lagas 40s and 50s were best time in America. We Were Not third world then
There are many public domain websites that have free films available....I prefer coming here and let the others do the downloading work !
The forties and the fifties were the best time to live in this country .... There was respect and morality.....locking the door was almost unheard of .... I saw the birth of television, the big breakthrough with the polio Salk vaccine .... the list is long !

Very Realistic..Gives new meaning though to " No big deal...I'm playing with the Houses's Money !" (G)
watch his mouth at 8:56 while he is 'talking' it dont even move.
Vegas hasnt changed a bit😅😅😅😅😅my father had a pair of those pleated trousers depicted in the movie.
😀Good thing then it is no longer true that what happens in post secondary education always must stay only ever just in freshman post secondary education. Why is that? Just a gamble is only sometimes not one at all.
First 40s noir I've seen with so few fedoras!
What a crazy movie right up until the very end.
Any other You Tube movies re: gambling or the downside of gambling? Anybody?
Life starting has a better chance than those two winning
Gambling addiction is the worst . At least with drug addiction you get something for what you pay for .

@33:31 Mrs. Olson wants the coffee! I'm dead!
The opening sequence reminds me of Police Squad

I subbed. I love Vegas and seeing how the mobs operated. I think I like Lake Tahoe more than Vegas, though.
He was getting paid the equivalent about $1900 a week and lost around $12,000 on the craps table.
Good Lord, an INVISIBLE wall. What a great idea, why hasn't anyone told Trump about this. So much cheaper to build. About the same cost as the emperor's, er, I mean president's, new clothes!
Must the SJW aholes infect absolutely everything with their crass stupidities?
@@dannydano8072 I forgive your crass stupidity.
@@dannydano8072 Yup, pretty much everywhere, about everything...particularly if it's totally unrelated to anything in present-day reality.
If the cops knew all along why waste time
Not bad good twist at the end. 2 1/2 out of 5 .
33:30 this is how much I watched
Jeff chandler wore women’s dresses
A. A
Lousy B movie.
