THANKS FOR POSTING ALL WAYS ENJOY A GOOD BLACK AND WHITE
Great stuff ……… Thank you.
wish more of these great movies were not uploaded in letterbox after you have seenthem in full screan… but i still love them all
Hghg
Dave O'brien & Kay Aldridge can be found on YuzTubz in 'The Man Who Walked Alone'…also released in 1945…
Ahhh, another evening with good movies, and no TV. Thank you, so much.
This is actually quite a cool little movie. At least three of its stars, Dave O'Brien, Kay Aldridge and Frank Jenks should have gone on to have good careers in the movies. The Man Who Walked Alone, as stated below, and also staring O'Brien and Aldridge is almost a minor classic of the screwball comedy genre. This movie isn't in the same class as that. But is still enjoyable all the same.
thanks,
There should have been a cut to the murderer at the end of the movie. Was it cut out? There was just a wide shot.
what does this mean???my new symbol
Gotta love a good old fashioned story. One of the good ones.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
like george washington.american horray!!!
you are welcome i want to talk by sharing by this video person.
Thanks,Video Cellar4 showing this movie. It was fun to watch& the only actor that was familiar was Mr.Jenks.
O'Brien is a hundred times better in his amusing Pete Smith Specialties than he is here as a dumb and bullying columnist/detective. How did the first rate Mowbray show up in this silly thing.
PS Kay Aldredge is terrible, all the supporting players are terrible (except Mowbray who has ooped low for this one and Jenks) and O'Brien should have sayed with the shorts. Grade Z.
please correct typo: …teams up with a cabbie (not copy)
