I wish there were still cozy little restaurants and bars like in these old movies instead of franchise joints and dive bars with rap blasting out of the jukebox.

Wish they still had amazing actors like this!
For those of us who lived through The war, this was clear and current for the period. The thoroughly great and competent actors made this great fun and memorable!
Homefront WWII movie, our country kicked butt. No wimps invited ! Great cast and storyline.
Good movie and Helen Parrish was lovely.
Really well acted B-and well written suspense. Would have been a TV movie or a Mannix type show in later years, but certainly diverting entertainment. So fast-paced is also a blessing. Thanks.
Wow, what a cool juke box, never seen one of these before. Thanks Pizzaflix, another gem.

Love jukeboxes! I played Floyd Cramer.....my dad looked for Leichtensteiner Polka or Tennessee Waltz (early 50s). Nothin like fun music and a cheeseburger❤
I really enjoyed this movie. These are what I grew up with. Thanks for sharing them with us. Sincerely.

These old classic movies are great and in this 1 the hero gets the pretty girl. Ed
She said "maybe there's a REWARD!!" That was priceless!!😂
Women in the 1940s were something else. They had real beauty. They carried themselves in a way that most women dont today. I think the women in all those old movies are more beautiful than anything ive seen today.

Many of today's women seem to opt to airbrush out their facial features and skin variations, then draw or paint them back on leaving them to look like avatars. They all look alike and rather blank. I find it both sad and disturbing. I also sound like an old fart!😂

Sure do. The delivery of lines in these movies was great. Lauren Bacall: If I slap you, you will stay slapped. Rosalind Russell: I am the last of the broad-shouldered broads. Bette Davis: I would love to kiss ya honey, but I just washed my hair. Barbara Stanwick: Where did you learn to drink like that. Answer: Pittsburgh, whats it to ya. They don't write lines like they used to!

The juke box is so big but all it really is is just a giant speaker phone! I saw an image on Pinterest of another shorter model that must have been from the same manufacturer because it had that same speaker on the front. It was clearly from another film noir movie, maybe the one you saw. Imagine if we could go back in time and show them a cell phone!

Early for a true noir but damned if it does'nt succeed!! 1942!! wow....great film. NB
These old black-and-white films just get better and better
I love how the cop picks up the phone on the dead man's desk, eradicating any prints that might have been on it. Great police work! And why does Delany need Underwood to sign the check he's going to mail him? Wouldn't he sign it before mailing it? And I love how the girl immediately falls for an accused murderer with no proof at all that he's not guilty. Women in these movies are always such saps. "He can't be guilty! He's hot!"
Nice, At least it had A Story Line 😊.
Thanks for posting! Fun movie.
And then he went off to war and got killed.
DAMN! Commissioner Gordon sure weathered the years well....20+years later on Batman he pretty much kept the same jib.
Lol, a jukebox, with real people on the other side playing music for you. Amazing.
Amazing juke box, I've only seen the likes in one other movie.
The angel with the voice Linda, played by Helen Parrish, sadly passed away age 35. Very sad indeed.
Jack LaRue and 'B' movies go together like peas and carrots
thank you. great script. great acting.

From the early 30's on, Neil Hamilton was ALWAYS working. No matter what the part, he was always reliable.
These old movies are the best they just don't make them like this anymore
I was sad to learn that Helen Parrish who played Linda, died of cancer at the tender age of 35 😟😞

Never could stand Vince Barnett in any movie. Robert Homans always played a cop or a sheriff. Dick Purcell died suddenly in 1943 of a heart attack. Esther Muir was more attractive than appears here. Jack Larue was a versatile character, usually playing the villain. This is really an understated and underrated film overall. I was quite young during the War years, but I was aware of much of what it was like then. And even today that was a better time than we're living in now. At least there was a reason to live.

Since most raw materials for rubber came from Asia , It created and instant black market for everyday items that used to be taken for granted. Rubber, gasoline, steel, aluminum all became valuable until industry could catch up with demand.

In 1942 all existing stocks of tires were put into bonded warehouses and could only be sold with a government priority . If you had a car, the serial numbers on the tires were registered with the government. When they wore out you might be allowed to have them retreaded but new tires were almost impossible to get.
