Wish there was more of Romero dancing. Goodness, he certainly was suave in his day.

I'm so, sorry to say that I grew up watching Cesar Romero, but only in supporting roles. Like the Joker, on Batman or Donovan's Reef with the legendary John Wayne. He was very good. But, this is the first time I see him in the leading role. Wow! He was great ! I loved this jewel of a movie. Thank God. I was lucky enough to fined it. Thank You, so, much.

Wow-- an early film from the "Hammer" team. Never saw Cesar Romero have the lead in a film before. Bernadette O'Farrell was "Maid Marion" in the 50s ROBIN HOOD series. Lois Maxwell always seemed to be played EVIL characters outside of the Bond films. Geoffrey Keen , so young I almost couldn't recognize him (he played a really rotten character in TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA). Campbell Singer was the best of the "Inspector Lestrade"s in THE SAINT series with Roger Moore. The mix of mystery, action, romance & comedy was well-balanced here. (The humor in later Hammer horror films often seemed out of place.)

Well the music 🎵 was bigger than the film 🎥 , so nice to see Katie Johnson again who was in the 50’s film classic The Lady Killers, Lois Maxwell looked stunning, with lots of other well established stars no longer with us.

Good experience of a retro thriller! Few characters and a simple plot.

*Film noir* is a term coined by film critics in France, first by one - Nino Frank, and then others, to identify a certain type of pessimistic (or maybe cynical is a better term) low-budget American film where there's a lot of suspicion, shadows, and shuttered windows. There's often a femme fatale. It doesn't refer to films shot at night or with non-electric lighting! *Double Indemnity* is film noir. I think *Chinatown* is too? Not sure! A film writer, James Naremore, describes film noir as having five traits, it's: *"oneiric, strange, erotic, ambivalent, and cruel"* Film noir, this film is not. It's cheerful and optimistic, and I'm guessing it has a happy ending! Am 45 minuted in, just reading the comments.

What a revelation!! This must've been a HUGE deal for Romero who'd been consigned to small thug parts for his early career before getting an MGM contract during the "Latin Lover" craze -- big Hollywood musicals. And then the hardtimes set in. At least here he was given a character. A few years later he'd be stuck in bit parts on TV westerns or Disney heavies. And of course his genre bending role as the Joker on the Batman TV show -- which gave him a nice part he could camp up in. So much we think if iconic Joker -- that laugh and the panache was first put on the screen by his turn.

Thanks for the upload !! Nice too see Lois Maxwell before James Bond !!

A nice little film but it is not a noir. Noir is film genre that has specific attributes and this film does not have those attributes. This film's genre is Murder-mystery with perhaps an overtone of Thriller. Just because it is filmed on mono does not make it a Noir.

Fantastic Movie....

Warning. Audio looses sync half way through the picture. Too bad, "Miss Moneypenny" plays the bad girl! Amazing to see Romero in the lead role.

Thank you 🤩🤩💖

The receptionist reminds me of a girlfriend of mine from years ago! I took her to a movie with Paul Newman as the star, and throughout the whole movie all this girl did was ooh, and gasp and swoon whenever Paul came on the scene! She completely ignored me during the whole film, and when the movie ended, she sighed and looked at me , in a disappointed way, and exclaimed that she wished I had blue eyes like Paul! (I have green eyes) Needless to say, this was one of the most miserable dates I had with a girl, and I soon broke up with her!!!😮😢☹️

muito bom classico recomendo

Pour une fois que Cesar Romero joue un enquêteur plutôt qu'un gros séducteur ou un fourbe, il faut que ça soit un rigolo qui se prend tout le temps les pieds dans le tapis - en même temps, c'est un civil. Certes le film de Sam Newfield reste un polar classique (une femme a besoin d'aide pour élucider la mort de son frère),, assez divertissant, mâtiné d'espionnage avec d'ailleurs la présence de la future Moneypenny Lois Maxwell.. et plus le mystère s'épaissit, plus ça devient sérieux. Mais le nombre de gags qu'on doit enchaîner avant, qu'ils soient cartoonesques (Romero confectionne des boissons explosives qui ne servent à rien), ou récurrents (un vendeur de billets d'avion qui s'arrache les cheveux), font passer ce film pour du Hitchcock mal équilibré.

Super.Mulțumesc!

Funny they are using magnetic wire recording at the tail end of its life and anticipating car radar shortly before the first radar guns saw use.

Nice...

This movie was released the year I was born. Obviously, not a blockbuster film by a long shot. Also, quite typically corny as most movies of that era are. It was fun to watch but I would only give it maybe two stars.

Boom crane mic shadow > 8:25 😂

Subtitle Persian very very good thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Of course not a film noir, since a) there are not only baddies in it and b) it is far too funny to be real Noir. Having said that, very enjoyable, even if the last scene was relatively predictable.

They wouldn't do another like these old movies for one thing the budget and who would what to do a remake

At least Danny told her...His love grew cold, as if he had really loved her. Whoa 😮

That’s why they used to have the person who’s walking in front of the car literally lay on the hood of the car and look down with the flashlight to make sure they’re about to drive into a ditch or off the road And then you have to use the old days before defrosters and blowing heat up on the window, use alcohol or something on the windshield to keep it from fogging up But fog like that is nearly impossible. It’s very difficult.

As to ".. all the myths perpetuated by the cinema, the invincibility of the amateur detective...": Before the (Hollywood) movies immortalized that myth, there were the respective novels by the American hard-boiled school and writers such as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. - The first three or so examplary films with their often not only verbal aggressiveness once did, in fact, surprise a still naive young movie-goer.

The British police would have tossed him in jail for tampering with evidence and impeding a criminal investigation when they found him in the dead guy's room. Otherwise, good movie.
