[@EntropicRemnants]

Delightful! Thanks for posting. These old just-over-an-hour flicks were the "TV" of the day. Something you could go watch for a few cents and while away an hour or so. They weren't meant to be "high art" but just entertaining diversions and they are still that 80 years later.

[@eileenweeks1815]

This was worth the watch. It was nice to see young people portrayed as intelligent instead of nincompoops. And the girl didn't trip once and hurt her ankle. Watch it and I think you will like it. 😅😅

[@southernwanderer7912]

I really enjoyed that. You can't beat the old movies,

Me and My buddies had cars like Jimmy. You had to know all the little tricks to get them going!! Thanks for posting this great movie.

This was the year I was born - - 1940! Those movies from that era were wonderful!! Thanks!

[@LogoAttitude]

This was among the Monogram features sold to a.a.p., which later became part of United Artists Television. UATV failed to renew the copyright in time, and the film entered the public domain in 1969.

[@nomadrenegade]

Refreshing, sweet old movie! Thank You!!!

Jackie Moran was a good actor. He was in Gone With The Wind. He'd be 101 years old now. Nice to see him again.

She was wonderful in the 30's movie THESE THREE and was also in several Deanna Durbin movies at Universal. Also was the girl in the wheelchair in the movie HEIDI ! Great actress!

You are so right "the junk on tv". I paid a lot of money monthly for cable TV and never got the selection and pause capabilities that I get with utube. So I canceled cable and save $60 monthly.

[@goldenager59]

@@allenwatkins4972 _What_ "What"? I thought my point was clear enough. They haven't made big buildings out of mostly stone for over a century, but that's not to say that they don't make *great* buildings anymore, and likewise with filmic techniques. Or so, at least, I should think. 🤔 😕

At 45.23 the young couple enter an old empty house to look for the dead woman's money. They get locked in the "haunted house" at approximately 1:00. I don't know why some commenters are saying there is no old house in the story. They must not have watched it or don't know what a "haunted house" is.
