What a woman, what a slap
When I'm ready to leave I'll let u know. Where did class and self respect go.
Where did they cone up with ‘Jeffty’ as a name? Never heard it before or since.
Celeste Holm is the Ralph Bellamy of movies. She never lands the guy. Not even in A Letter to 3 Wives.
Great cast and movie.

Their sure don't make films like this anymore thank you for sharing it.
Ridiculous. Trite and impossible in any era.
Ending leaves no conclusion to the story.
Wonderful Good old movie. Thanks for posting.
Terrific film noir. Ida Lupino was a British-accented actress who did American accents better than anyone and was great as a 'tough gal'. Richard Widmark was a nice guy off-screen who specialized in playing heels and had the most sinister laugh of anyone on-screen. And Cornell Wilde in a typically solid role.
Where is her Voice LOL She needs an ashtray she is destroying the Piano Cover Wood…lol
Entertainer with that face LOL and nothing friendly…omg
This movie is a joy! Lupino's character feels so up to date. Lily isn't even particularly likeable. The messiness with the cigarettes is especially obnoxious. She's Chicago-style tough but also fundamentally kind. Even the bartender wants to bend Lily's ear. I agree with those who commented as to how authentic it feels to have Lupino sing everything herself. Such soulful interpretations! I also agree with the comment regarding the scene at the station — that slap and clever comeback. And I love it that she keeps buy-off dough anyway!
No smartphone ringing in between …!
Richart W had that anoying twang in several of his early outings
Excellent! first-class movie. Thanks.
I was thinking of writing a review but it's better to watch it again
Ida Lupino was a genius actress, director, producer, and screenwriter. However, she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
Sure she died of lung cancer with all that damn smoking
She in white shorts and no butt…flat butt
Beautiful print.
how many cigarettes does she smoke per day ?
Of course the charges against Pete were entirely circumstantial, any one of three people could have pocketed that money and Pete was only one of them. In the real world the love triangle would have come out as evidence and no jury would convict.
I thoroughly enjoyed finding this movie. I was impressed by all the characters, especially Ida Lupino. What was clearly satisfying was that the director Jean Negulesco or somebody chose to insert music, but that music playing over the course of the movie wasn't needed . Good noire films don't need it.
