Mari Blanchard was a real dish and then some!!

My mother told me about this movie 50 yrs ago! I always remembered the title. As great as she said.

Interesting that the four women - Helen, Blanche, Mrs. Warren, and Mrs. Oates, got all the best parts --- or maybe they were just the best actors. The men, excepting Albert Oates, were blah.

No titles??!! Time and again these old films are put up on YT with no start or end credits; it destroys the whole point of sitting down to to get engrossed in the experience. Why do they get cut off? It must be deliberate, perhaps some effort to avoid a copyright strike? Very sad.

Hollowed, for ever, you're my enemy.

These old houses, I imagine cold without much insulation and dependent on fireplaces for heat look so cozy in the movies. Decorated so nicely. I wish I had been born in that era and could have afforded one. I always wanted a canopy bed. Looks like this house had electricity but lamps were mainly used. The bedrooms were so big and could fit a small sitting room. I love that. There were no tvs in these old movies and people read books more, played instruments or piano and talked to each other more. Why did we need television in the homes. Going to a movie once in a while would suffice. Seems like back then as is now, the rich travel abroad a lot. I wish it was more affordable. I like how you had a den/living room on one side, another dining room/living room on another side, and a huge entry way in middle with probably fireplaces on both sides. I’ve been in small old homes where there is a fireplace in entryway as soon as you walk in. I imagine to warm guests as soon as they walk in and to maybe dry boots, coats and gloves. But then there might be a small sitting room to side of entry way with another fireplace. I wish I could see what these homes looked like when first built. A blended 1946 family. Now to see it was more normal than thought. In the 1950s, there was still a lot of shame on divorcees. A room just for the telephone seems like a phone booth in house. I think if I lived in a house that big, I’d want servants and others living with me since the house is so big. And the oldest brother using a room for his office and having his admin live in house. Not quite sure what Helen was because she wasn’t a nurse, not a cook or a housekeeper. But the mother of the house treated her like a daughter. Not even the brother who is a full grown man would go down to basement at night without an escort and a candle but this lady goes by herself without an escort. Why didn’t housekeeper go with her. If I were the housekeeper, I would alert both brothers that window is constantly found open. Supposedly she hammered shutters closed. In those days if you didn’t have kids, you got to live on site as a housekeeper in a nice cozy mansion. But your whole life is serving another family while you don’t have time for yourself. These old houses always had so many backstair cases. If I were Helen after she found the body, I would have run out front door, storm or not until morning and with several townspeople and the constable to get my things, leave and never return. They never said how the constable knew the Killer came from that house. I feel like he killed everyone else in an instant even before they had a chance to scream but Helen was able to escape him. If she had any sense that he was answering door, she could have run to basement through back stair, released the other brother and ran outside to constable through basement door. For some reason she only ran to back bedroom to throw a lamp at window. I don’t know how the brother was going to explain all these dead and missing people when the investigation already centered on his home and he winds up only person alive besides his stepmother. She really saved Steven’s life and cured herself. I wonder who died in garden? The nurse was lucky. She got paid for doing nothing and was able to escape.

I dearly love the old mystery, detective and horror movies.

Gary Cooper, Lilli Palmer, Fritz Lang, Ring Lardner Jr., Max Steiner, Perc Westmore? Of course I'm going to watch this. Many thanks, CHZ.

An excellent film with twists and turns. All of the actors are really good, with Frank Lovejoy being always go and who I listen to quite regularly on OTR, in Nightbeat. A really good actor. I love B&W Film Noir.

Reading the credits, realized this film was made by expatriate Germans.

That was great!! Thank you so much <3 Love Elsa Lanchester and moved to recognize "Bessie" Sara Allgood from Jane Eyre <3 Bless them

Thank you for posting this marvelous movie 1st time to watch it now!!!! 😀 😅😅😅😮😮😊😊😊

This should be a warning to all wannabe dictators and FACIST. This was well written, let freedom reign

In 2024 as a 40 year old it makes you wonder if this is actually what was going on in 1938 around the whole world all in one small village, or it's a rendition of an earlier mindset vs a newer set of thoughts.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A very well acted,well made movie.Thank you,for showing it.

Are veryGreat actors❤

Watch this movie. Every charater these actors made belieable. Dont wanna give any away about plot. I had a relative with same excact motives as the main actress. Even mrs "Galmore Girl" looked played her roll perfect. At 75 I know women were worse about believen a Man just due to gender. Y she agreed to met at such an odd location only to us in 21st century. I will watch this again soon.being from West I enjoy all the on site footage. Automobiles so classy then.leading lady wardrobe espeacialy the hooded dress and pajamas dress with Notice only fringe on one sleeve? 😮oops

For what I’m reading in comments so many younger kids watching this type of movies however we used to watch Dracula, the wolf man and my favorite Frankenstein as grown up girl my Husband my sister and husband when to the movies went to watch the exorcist 😮 We got so scared and left The theater 😂😢😅 and I felt so bad cause I was holding my two months old baby ❤❤ Never watched the movie until I was 40 years old 🥹🥹😹😿

This is great

I cant get over Annie Jacobsons book, Operation Paperclip. We brought over 1500 Nazi criminals from ww2, gave them immunity, a new identity & made them the head of the CIA. WHAT? Tech was more important then national security but im praying that changes now & all enemies of America are exposed & depised!

Who was the killer.? The doctor.?

Spoiler alert! Reading these comments before watching the movie will reveal the ending. 😢

Wow. ADS every EIGHT minutes. KZbin is INSANE

Thank you very much.❤ The old black and white movies have my heart.

TY FROM KANSAS USA (=

There’s nothing like rugging up on the couch and watching a good old scary movie. 🫣

If I were that nurse I'd happily sit in the hall, pass meds, and read a book. Occasionally id offer a stress relieving massage or meditation lessons.

I love the temple relief of the modestly dressed apsara.

Why are they in overcoats but she's in a slip???

What a humdinger of a thriller…🔥too bad they sold their souls in real life.🔥

Always enjoy Mr. Moto. Peter Lorre did himself proud playing this part.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

10/10. But why would you tell a TOTAL STRANGER that you’ve inherited wealth - sheer madness! And how dim is Mrs Kraft to get a taxi to the middle of nowhere at 11pm with no phone or residence anywhere nearby: and how did she get back to her hotel?? Still fabulous, though!

Enjoyed despite a number of holes . Mrs. Kraft stood out for me😄

❤

Now that was a good movie!

She was the exiting nanny in mary poppins

Amazing movie..amazing, thank you

Even as a child I loved these old classic movies more than the modern TV shows. Particularly love the shadows, New movies and programs have no shadows.... Adds an extra element of realness to the eeerie atmosphere.

Good film, but the repetitive KZbin ads for men shaving their 'intimate' parts spoilt it for me 🤢

The creepy part is the doctor putting the moves on a young woman with the mental capacity of a child

It's a shame to ruin such a classic by continually flashing your logo from start to finish. I made it thru 20 m. Enough for me. Will not be back for more. Thanks anyway.

Fantastic old 1947 movie ❤. Handsome men and beautiful women ❤.

To think I have been to Cambodia while playing the game of tetras on a computer game!

What a fantastic movie! I was so engrossed in it. I'm so glad I watched it. Thanks!

Thank you, thank you!!!

Great comedy farce. Well done.

The Crimes of Stephen Hawke actually kicks in at 5:00 It is quite good after that.

Great film with a great performance by the legendary Gary Cooper
