Thanks - 👍 I'm really enjoying these old movies, that were made before I was born. What a treat for me, and so many others. I'll be 71 in less than 2 weeks. This is just GREAT !

The dialog in these old films is so much superior to today's Hollywood movies

Yeah, no rotten language, no nude scenes, no Politically Correct racial elements, just society as it actually was. Today, Hollywood cranks out nothing but high-budget porn films.

Now Hollywood films are more visual or action oriented or anyway less language, so perhaps to sell in other countries. Maybe those other countries would also like to have some good dialogue, might be Hollywood lately doesn’t provide it.
You have some of the best old films ever made, can’t get enough of these B & W films !!!
Marsha Hunt At 102 years old still is one of the last survivors of the Golden Years of Hollywood. Norman Lloyd at 105 was the oldest survivor who recently passed away.

That's Norman Lloyd who is dead, not Marsha Hunt. Hunt is now 105 years old and is presumably as 'Hollywood liberal' as ever.

@@glenmcfarland6691 Marsha Hunt was gorgeous, but even in the 1940's she was very involved in leftist political causes (one was 'The Hollywood Anti-Nazi League', whatever that was all about). Later on, she denied any sympathy for communist or other Far-Right causes. Whatever. Shouldn't mix politics with movie-making.
Thank you for showing these good old time movies. ❤️20/22 Great films can’t get enough of them! 🤔👍
Navy cross winner actor Eddie Albert said the big problem with modern films n tv is the producers cut down on quality writers in order to put more money in their pockets
This is a real delight. Everyone knew just where their character fit into the story, what kind of flavor those roles could create, and how to keep the tightness in the overall 'structural tension.' And Warren Hull had plenty of chops to lift any story. Thanks for posting this treat!
I love these old movies. What a twisted plot.
wise cracking reporters are so common in movies from this era.

Wonderful Crime Thriller, Love The Storyline, Good Acting, And Action Script. The Plot Is Very True In Society. Corruption And Crime Are Rampant And People With Money and Power Often Escape The Law. Only When Society And Legal System Cleans Up Then Only Crime Can Be Eliminated. Great Film! Thanks For Sharing! 👍😍

Lovely film. These B films are often dismissed as inferior, but thanks to YT and this channel, I'm getting to see so many of them. They were only 'inferior' in terms of budget. In every other respect, they were very well done and did a lot with what they had. Re Marsha Hunt, I read that she was Selznick's pic for Melanie in Gone With The Wind, but due to studio contract arrangements, the part was handed to Olivia de Haviland. A great pity, as she would have been perfect for the physically frail but emotionally strong character that Margaret Mitchell created. OdH always seemed totally miscast to me.

I agree about Marsha Hunt vs Olivia de Havilland. Marsha had a more aristocratic bearing, while Olivia seemed like she was cast because the producer liked her.
I've always loved Marsha Hunt!

I can't find the specs on any of the other cast members, but Warren Hull was said to be about 6'2" or 6'3". If you spot a scene where they're together in the same frame, that would give you an idea.

I love all these old films! Of course, I am not blind to their flaws (15% of the population not being pink, but where are they? and the way women are represented also leaves a lot to be desired) but they are delighful, and between the lines, there is social criticism!

That scene from about 14:06 onward, where the mother is walking about in a long gown and a fur coat, is awkward. Shouldn't she be carrying a purse? What woman, at least up until recently, went out without one?
