Father Brown (The Detective in the United States) is a 1954 British mystery comedy film. Technically, the film is a remake of the 1934 Paramount picture Father Brown, Detective, starring Walter Connolly, Paul Lukas and Gertrude Michael, which was likewise based on “The Blue Cross”, a short story by G. K. Chesterton, but confined the action to London.

Thank uou so much for this upload. Just the tonic one needs these days.
What a delightful film! An interesting mix of dark and light. When Brown and Flambeau converse I'm reminded of the encounters between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty.
FUCK ALL THE ASSHOLES WITH THEIR ZEALOTRY ! I HOPE YOU DIE AN AGONIZING DEATH ! LET ME WATCH THE GOD DAMN FLICK !
Excellent Movie, showing the true redemptive power of Jesus Christ.
An excellent ending.
Another Catholic great movie. Love it!
i didnt know there was a movie haha in reading this for my school and i wanted to see the end haha
Out roll the anti catholic sad cases…It's a movie with a great actor.. , try to enjoy it . Another set of great movies, around a priest are the old Don Camillo movies…great stuff.
Loads of beer and a great old movie to watch who needs the TV when we have all this.
I hate Catholic Church but I love Father Brown!
These movies are treasures. Live testimonies of a period in history
I forced myself to watch this complete movie in spite of the fact that I found the storyline absurd and really quite troubling. Father Brown appears to cut far too many ethical corners in this film- lying, stealing, physical violence just to name a few. He sends a known criminal to be a chauffeur of a parishioner of his without warning the woman of this man's criminal past. He complains to the criminal that he is not good enough at committing crimes?
It was great seeing Alex guiness and the great scenery, but the film was quite troubling. One might wonder by what moral authority Father Brown takes it upon himself to absolve a major criminal of his crimes thereby
Deceiving police. He also Implicates a completely innocent man at one point in the film.
Not to get too political but this seems to be the kind of justice many in this country believe in. They preach all this being responsible BS but when it comes right down to it, the only people held responsible are the poor, pregnant women, gays who are not pedophile priests, minorities. The Vatican bank
Can launder all the drug money it wants and the men at the top, the chosen few are absolved of all their crimes. This film said a lot about our society, nothing good though.
Very moving. The Father goes out and seeks the Prodigal, and though he flees he eventually comes home.
Guinness is such a nice old puff that watching him is like slipping into a pair of well worn slippers with a long haired pussy in your lap and a decent whiskey in your glass.
Sir Alec Guinness, CH, CBE (2 April 1914 – 5 August 2000)
Do try and get the spelling right.
What a totally excellent movie, thank you.
I can't understand the fascination that Catholic have with the cross,. Neither can I understand why Catholics keep Jesus –ON— the cross especially when Jesus hasn't been on that cross for the last 2ooo years.
That reminds me….your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough…
excelelnt films came out of ealing
miss alec
very good movie
thank you!
Well mates,it wasn´t in vain they´ve called him Sir Alec Guiness,what an actor he was!
I always love that touch of humour in the old British thrillers! Alec Guiness….a genius actor…Peter Finch was also very versatile…so young,in this movie….from when i saw him last.
Nice.
The latest Father Brown movies are about solving the mystery. I like that this one is about saving the Soul. That's proper Father Brown.
Joan Greenwood Oh boy was she one sexy lady!
Check out The Reluctant Saint ( free 60`S movie on youtube ) Its based on a true story of a Catholic priest who could levitate.That speaks to me of a Transcendant God who is not tied to man made ways and doctrines. Its a great movie with Maximillian Schell as Fr Giuesppe of Cupertino. Lets love one another.
thats obi wan kenobi teaching people about the ways of Go- Oh I mean the Force, to the good people of Bri- Oh I mean Tatoine
if u had catholic movies boy fucking would b the most popular
Excellent film!
Geez…the anti-Catholicism isn't necessary. Chesterton was a great apologist to all Christians alike, including me as a non-Catholic.
Boy, if only the commentators of this movie had as much humility as Fr. Brown. Not Roman Catholic here, but can we keep the Catholic bashing down, to say, um…none! Save it for other videos please, where such discussion may even be welcome, if not ill conceived. Great movie by the way!
What do you call a sleepwalking sister.? Roman Nun.
Peter Finch was soooooooooooooo handsome
good movie. love the understated humor that is in almost every line.
not very faithful to books but sort of faithful to spirit of them.
tanks.
How well Alec Guiness does Fr Brown. He's brilliant. Thanks
1:05 … Was mentioned today on Songs Of Praise, January 3rd 2016 !
Speak for yourself. Many of us are thankful we do not have a Catholic cinema. Many of us had it with the brain-washing we endured in our youth.
Great Movie..has Comedy..Mystery..Drama…Suspense..Greetings from Puerto Rico where it''s always Spring & Summer..
This was very different from the book, but still a great movie.
where was this thing shot?
what a shitty movie
Let's just say, the force was with the old padre.
Me encantan las viejas películas inglesas, raramente están subtituladas en español, como puedo reparar este inconveniente?(no me digan que aprendiendo inglés)
It´s a Detective movie, not a catholic one.
thanks! really enjoyed..also enjoy the BBC series!
Joan Greenwood, Alec Guinness and oodles of great actors., You cannot beat a film like this!
