That dream sequence was GOOD!

[@elainewefer4864]

I really liked Chester Morris. Have you seen "Five Came Back" or "The Three Godfathers" of 1936? Wonderful actor.

[@josenighthawk]

1939 Five Came Back with Lucille Ball, John Carradine, C. Aubrey Smith (very 'British Lord' distinguished looking, but actually born in Kentucky, I believe), Patrick Knowles, and other greats is one of my all-time best dreamy adventure noirs! ... (Any nitwit that dares to colorize it I will leave stranded with cannibals (Hint)). .. I may have 3 or 4 DVDs of it - always on alert for the next ever improved reproductions.

@@josenighthawk C Aubrey-Smith was actually born in London 21st July 1863 and played cricket for Sussex and England before finding fame as the archtypal Englishman in many Hollywood films. He also founded the Hollywood cricket club which many British actors played for. He died on 20th December 1948 in Beverly Hills.

Wow! What a great story! Real drama and tension! Gripping!

Thankyou 🎉

The story reminds me of Desperate Hours starring Bogart

[@shirleyallen9108]

My favorite movie Desperate Hours.

[@Alan-rh1el]

A well acted and entertaining film. Both leads are excellent but I must give a mention to Marc Lawrence who played Buck and had a very varied career mostly playing similar characters from Bond films to Star Trek.Thanks for posting.

Ya vi está película pero la versión con William Holden en el delincuente y como el profesor, Lee J. Coob 1949 esta es la que vi yo

[@imcnagpc2]

What about the dead body?😮😮

Dvorak was fine AF!

I'm impressed with the older films I've seen lately. This movie's dramatic acting is excellent. Now its back to Straham shooting 542 guys in 2:34 seconds.Lord help me.

Would have been funny when the cop asked "is this all of them?" and the reply was," he's a writer, adventure stories, but he be arrested. They're terrible!😅

Way better than the remake THE DARK PAST...Watch this one and forget the other.

[@marbleman52]

A weird sensation: After watching all of the Boston Blackie movies, it is so odd to see Chester Morris play the bad guy...lol..!!

[@johnrudy9404]

1939....the world would soon change. The US was actually still in the grip of the depression. The plot of this movie would be used again, with William Holden in 1948, called Dark Past.

[@robertmcaree7016]

Also starring Lee J. Cobb and Nina Foch.

When the silver screen deals with the theme of a blurred tortured mind, in my opinion, nothing can ever beat the amazing Spanish "Abre los ojos", which Hollywood shamelessly bungled into the bad cover "Vanilla Sky," starring Tom Cruise. That was in the late 1990s, early 2000s. Time flies...

[@hirampopcock6626]

Vanilla Sky, what a turd that film was!

[@HessepeQuhaire]

@@hirampopcock6626 I didn't know we could write down words like turd on KZbin, but yes, you're absolutely right. "Abre los ojos" ("Open your eyes") is on the contrary a gem, in my humble opinion!😁

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

I like parts of this and its remake, The Dark Past, a lot- not sure which I like better. I do think the cast of the remake was a good bit better, and there are several differences in the stories. TY!

[@captainbart]

Following a prison break, Hal Wilson, a ruthless killer takes refuge in the home of a psychiatrist, Dr. Shelby. While Wilson is attempting to make a safe getaway, Dr. Shelby is busily trying to analyze his captor and find out just what, in his dark past, made him the man he now has become.

It's kinda hard to talk Chester Morris as a bad guy after watching all those Boston Blackie movies. 😅

May Barron continue to be so careful and judicious. I think he could be a Rockstar if he does. Melania has done a great job!

This movie is a duplicate of a movie made which William Holden different actors same movie

[@elmagodelmaryahoo]

Definitely a good watch 'Oldie But Goodie'. 👌 Personally, I think that the remake of this film 10 years later had a more well selected cast, more poignant character role script performances, and was a far more powerful Noir film = *_"The Dark Past"._* kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnO8knxnoamAgbs 😯

Scotty Beckett was a cute kid, but was kind of irritating in every film I’ve seen him in. I guess he was typecast to be an annoying little boy.
