Hello Timeless Classic Movies: You will not have this movie with Spanish Subtitles

I love how it was just everyday normal for men to dress like that no matter where they were going or the occasion. The fashions were amazing back then, at least in movies, not sure if actual people dressed like that all the time.

REAL GOOD MOVIE. CANT BEAT THESE OLD FILMS.

Those 1940s clothes and hats were to die for (no pun intended)

another good old classic. the sound quality seems a lot better than many modern movies, too.

What an awesome movie! I loved everything. From the story to the acting, to the clothes, music, and the cars! This was made even before I was born. "They" just don't make them like this anymore! Thanks so much for bringing it to us! 🌈🌈🌈

I grew up watching these movies in the 1940's. Back in the days of the double feature.

Splendid little film. Small but capable cast pulls it off well. Nice piece of cinema. Thank You once again for another great selection by TCM

I really love to watch Jean Parker. So beautiful and such a great lady!

"When I had friends, they called me Brad."...PRICELESS!!!

OMG I was on the edge of my seat!!! This film was fantastic!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Enjoyable hour watching an interesting and entertaining old b/w film. Thanks! 😊

Lionel Atwill was a very distinguished Actor in Hollywood having starred with many of the greats from Hollywood's Golden Era including Marlene Dietrich in "Blonde Venus" the last film directed for Dietrich and Atwill by Josef von Sternberg, one of the most accomplished Directors in Hollywood. Lionel Atwill's accomplishments and various film roles for many years put him in a special category for Actors during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Great Movie! I give it 5 stars.

Love this classic movies, this one keep me in suspense!!!!

Always liked Douglas Fowley (Dr Bradford) A great character actor able to adapt himself to whatever role he was handed. Starred in many throwaway Sam Katzman serials, 'B' westerns but also some big winners like "Battleground" and "The High And The Mighty". Miss him...

Very good film and as usual Jean Parker gave a great performance. Loved the way they had the story told by the criminologist so we were able to follow along with ease. Jean's teen age sister was a Hoot~!!! Thanks for all these timeless classics.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST...

Pretty stupid how resistant her sister was to save her life!!! That was a terrible character in this movie.

I love this movie. Lionel Atwill always commands stage front! However Douglass Fowley as a doctor simply does not work for me. He was always a bad guy and did many memorable other roles but never respectable ones. But they made it work, may God bless them all!

Love this Movie

You could drive a truck through the plot holes....but I enjoyed watching...the sister sure didn’t seem to care about saving Mary, much more concerned for herself.

Apparently the director, Steve Sekeley, made a certain error that could've easily gone unnoticed. There wasn't any reason for the detective, (Cy Kendall), to be in any of the scenes where Charles Finch (Lionel Atwill) re-tells the case. Why? Because Cy Kendall played the detective who wanted Finch to stay out of it.

Good movie

In drama, executions are always looked at as if the condemned were dear sweet people who've stumbled into grave misfortune, Fate's most vulnerable, sad, practically angelic victims. And sometimes in real life, too. In real life, it nauseates me. In movies it just gets in the way of the rest of the show. Like Suzi being almost too dippy to worry about, and that glove reappearing on the lady's hand after she'd dialed the phone with her glove off.

I WONDERED WHY I LIKED THIS FLIK SO MUCH. ANOTHER FACTOR: THE MUSIC SCORE. MS GREY DID A MOST WONDERFUL JOB. LISTEN TO IT MORE CLOSELY. PARDON CAPS, VISION PROBLEMS.

they had innocents back then , who ignored innocent until proven and went innocent until thought guilty

This mat be picky--but when her sister was dialing the governor, she dialed with her bare hand, but when she had the phone near her ear, she wore a glove. Now did she dial then replace the glove to hold the phone to her ear?

This movie was made before actors were discovered.

Not bad at all...

“How did you know that was a car key, it couldn’t been a house key”. “Oh I don’t know; I just supposed”! WHAT?.. Who wrote this anyway?

❤❤❤TCM IS THE BEST OF MOVIES

So the doc pocketed the key with a foreign fingerprint, which matched the foreign fingerprint on the murder weapon? The doctor KEPT exculpatory evidence?! Good lord. With friends like these...

I really enjoy that movie I'm glad we had the last laugh

LOGAN is my name

Unfortunately, the "lady" in the death house is not my ex-wife, the Anti-Christ. This movie deserves a remake with Leo Gorcey in the Lionel Atwill part (directed by Ed Wood, of course)

saw Marcia May on TV in the story written by Lillian Hellman-- she was terrific

what a misconceived, botched, dreary little movie, its turgid scenes full of listless dialogue, badly stitched together via countless flashbacks into a convoluted story, disconnected from recognizable human behavior or accepted legal procedure. I did sit through the entire 56 minutes. I can't say why, except Lionel Atwill's voice has a way of pinning me down until he's through. he made this turkey because he needed the money. fair enough. and I saw it for free.

Lionel A. NOT A VILLAIN !!!!???? 🤬😡🤔✔️

Was a nice film, but this doesn’t fall under the noir category. More of a suspense mystery film. The ending was neither Bittersweet, ambiguous, sad, or a “karma” ending. Also Bradford and Mary didn’t quite fall under the noir characters tropes…well in the flashback it looked like they were heading that, but was subverted.
