A Night for Crime (1943) MYSTERY

[@cephaleaorion4888]

there's something beautiful about these movies that are 80-90 years older than me

[@leelarson107]

I was born in 1943, and at age 12 I was watching Glenda Farrell, Ann Sothern , Loretta Young, Linda Hayes, and Veda Ann Borg in movies from the 1940's and earlier. My class mates were hung up on Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and Brigitte Bardot. *I like to think I had better taste.

[@ginnylorenz5265]

I was born in 1942, and I SO agree with you!!!

[@sheilahill670]

Hey guys I'm n total agreement with both of you and I also love the movies of that era the 30s n 40s n I love the way the women dressed they looked like ladies not like today so much cleavage showing n skirts so short or split so high you can see what they even thought about for breakfast leaving everything exposed only looking like ladies of the night smh....

[@hortondlfn1994]

You did. MUCH better taste.

Been watching films I should have seen 60 years ago give or take a few. Love Glen Ford, just watched one yesterday.

PizzaFLIX is the home of lost films. Thanks for watching.

Take a few more than are given, speaking of years that is.

Classic Rob has focused on Glenn Ford films. I love this channel too

[@kamikazekumquat4760]

Gotta give it to 'em. The shade thrown around was solar eclipse levels. Had to admire that.

[@charlesmitchell8516]

I've always loved Glenda Farrell. A fine actress. As Torchy Blane, She was tops. If you haven't seen the Torchy Blane movies, look for them. You'll love every minute.

[@tinaarko6625]

[@charlesmitchell8516]

I knew you would.

[@leelarson107]

I don't need any movie to love Glenda Farrell.

[@jacquelinejanz8466]

I have seen these but I thought Ann Southern portrayed Torchy. Yes, they ere entertaining.

[@leelarson107]

@@jacquelinejanz8466 Glenda Farrell was 'Torchy'. Ann Sothern was 'Maisie' in ten movies.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

Love these old movies :)

[@stephaniehand503]

good plot & good movie.

[@leelarson107]

Several people are complaining about the sound being too low. There is a volume control on the bottom left corner of the picture.. There is a second one in the bottom right of the viewing screen. One can cancel out the other. Open up the first one all the way and then adjust the volume level with the second one. One thing you won't be able to edit out is the background hum; that's part of the recording from that period of audio technology. I don't know if anyone can 'filter' it out.

[@DavidRice111]

You might add that one can buy an aux/speaker system as did I- works great!

[@leelarson107]

@@DavidRice111 Why spend money on Chinese-made electronics when you can adjust your own volume on your own computer with your own hands?

[@atlasshrugged7475]

@@leelarson107 Why buy Chinese-made electronics? Because nearly everyone knows where the aforementioned volume controls and they aren't enough. Maybe you can spend some time asking those in our government who pander to the Chinese about who is making what.

TEN YEARS LATER JOE POWELL BECAME A REGULAR ON THE OZZIE & HARRIET SHOW

[@leelarson107]

He played 'Joe Randolph'.

[@charlesroberts8242]

Great plot! Great acting! But the egotist cop got on my nerves. I loved Susan's sarcasm. Overall, great 😊 entertainment!

[@annabellak4033]

Did the driver get taller when he bumped off people? Good stuff. Mystery and comedy 🙂

[@annabellak4033]

Thank you for sharing👍

[@leelarson107]

This is exactly the same opening theme music as was used in 'Rogues Gallery' in 1944.

[@leelarson107]

And a lot of other movies as well.

Yet when they all looked at the body they all said it was her.

[@graemesmith6721]

And when they confront her in Reno, the first thing Joe asks is "What's the idea of hiding out on us?" instead of "How are you not dead?"

[@FredMoore-x1s]

VERY GOOD.!

[@brendaleverick3655]

Turn the volume UP! I can barely hear it, and my phone volume is on high. 👂

[@chirellealanalooney7895]

Hey, what happened to the volume or sound? It's too low. Someone needs to bump up the sound on this picture.

[@wesleyrodgers886]

A little late but.. headphones maybe?.

[@leelarson107]

@@wesleyrodgers886 No one should have to wear headphones to watch a movie at home.

[@leelarson107]

That's a common problem in these old films. Audio technology was rather primitive.

[@graemesmith6721]

Hoffman's "It's an open-and-shut case," catchphrase never gets funny, no matter how many times it's repeated. This movie is very badly written.

[@fmgdepo8803]

Many nice moments of nostalgia but, in my opinion, a poor choice of the leading man to fit with that specific girl.

[@leelarson107]

Does anyone recognize the actress who plays 'Louise', the niece of 'Alice' (Ruby Dandridge)??

[@jimisullivan1240]

Sound is low

[@trscsaeg]

Did people actually talk like this off camera with friends and family back then. I’m referring to the vocal tones and phrasing. Not necessarily the words being said

[@DavidRice111]

Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's good~ pitiful script & acting here. @ 46:42, I immediately recognized the 'screen' Lyle removed from the closet, having set 'em up often in high school. Then it occurred to me that many younger viewers may never have even seen one, let alone dealt with one. Damn I feel old now!

[@damonfitzgerald7507]

Must agree age does not make a classic film the acting extremely subpar pic quality awful as well good performance by the bumbling cop

There is sound. Check the volume on your end

[@hyperionsixzeroeight5064]

very low audio

[@leelarson107]

You have a control for that in the lower left corner of your viewed image. There is another control in the lower right corner of the monitor screen itself. If you have stand-alone speakers, there is probably at least one control on them as well.

[@mountainwoodie9816]

Neither fish nor fowl. Comedy was too broad and the acting was seriously amateurish. Strange, as Lyle Talbot and Glemda Farrell did some fine work earlier in their careers. Really kind of strange as if they couldnt decide which way to go and they used up the hundred dollar budget.

[@girishsavant2302]

nice flick.

[@sej8806]

Nice little film SPOILT by stupid adverts. Better copies can be found elsewhere on youtube. Dislike!

[@blanchegouveia4644]

Too low the sound.

[@leelarson107]

You have two sound settings. One is on the viewing screen in the lower left corner. The other is in an icon in the lower right corner, visible unless you go to full-screen.
