Fallguy (1962) Crime drama noir

Fallguy (1962) Full movie crime drama. Cool low budget black & white 1960's drive-in movie type neo-noir crime film. - Broken Trout -

[@Jodyrides]

I love these old movies. Days when people had class,, Women wore dresses, the men wore suits with ties or a sport jacket. The movie stars actually had class in real life.

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

You could always tell late 50's early 60's crime dramas by the jazzy score.

[@theAxehound]

Only reason I watched "Mr Lucky"- that Mancini score and smokey dive bars!

[@alcoholic2412]

The musical score was the best part. Then the hamburgers, then the chicks. But it's not on TV at 3AM and I don't have insomnia so it felt weird watching in the daytime. I enjoyed it 👍

[@privatebubba8876]

Where were the fries?

[@alcoholic2412]

@@privatebubba8876 sorry no fries 🍟. It's a low budget flick 😂

[@mauricedavis2160]

Being a fan of jazz and an insomniac, I too can appreciate this film and it's ilk, now about that mentioned hamburger!!!🙏😋

[@mr.blazeblue]

I totally agree with you about Fall Guy's musical score. Jamie Mendoza-Nava (December 1st, 1925 - May 31st, 2005) had 90 credits, and this film was only his 2nd. I have to wonder if he's not too well-remembered nowadays, But if not, he definitely deserves to be! He was top-notch in his profession. Right up there with, for example, Jerry Goldsmith, whose debut film was City of Fear (1959)

These were the Drive-in movie, specials,the late late late showing. The meat grinders as we used to call them. Saturday nights. They were a lot of fun.👉🎥👈

Beautiful short, lyric trumpet solo around 39:20. Doc? It's brought back just a minute before the movie ends. So well played, very simple with perfect vibrato and medium level intensity. And the movie is quite good!

[@andrewstinson3284]

Wow, this was a great movie!

[@lefuedebout]

Happy little movie with some unknown actors giving the best that they could.... which wasn't a lot!

[@78rpmblues]

This was a low budget independent production with no readily recognizable actors. But the acting was good, believable and with plenty of broads and action. A nice little cat fight was a surprise but not really relevant to the story. A good jazz soundtrack accompanies the film which adds to the pace. The Fallguy, played by Ed Dugan, had a nice car that looked like about a 1960 Triumph TR3, nice ride for a young man back then. Did anybody notice the newsboy? He looked like Tony Dow, from Leave It To Beaver, but did not see his name in the credits. This is a movie film noir fans will not want to miss.

[@gailjarvis2592]

Tony Dow! Yes!

[@nedludd7622]

This is a film noir that fans will not want to see. Better go to Ed Woods.

[@RRW1982]

I saw the Tony Dow resemblance, but I think that's as far as it went.

[@BrokenTrout]

This has that "Get Outta Town" gritty feel to it.

[@michaelvolgare4454]

Broken Trout you channel is soooo freakin cool!! This is great and it does have the GET OUTTA TOWN vibe to it. I love these movies so much, I appreciate you posting them so much my friend!!

[@lewisaveryfiler7087]

And throw a piece of cheese on that burger . . .

[@DmPmRr1959]

That sleazy music whenever a blonde DAME shows up smoking a cigarette. That happened in SO many films. I don't think it's offensive though, just funny.

[@leemorris2731]

5 killed? Only counted 4. Goss, Sam, the Indian, & Marsh. Big Boss survives elevator plunge but killed falling down stairs? Isn't it ironic.

[@cgcafasso]

Think it was a planted new piece based on the conversation that followed

[@saulchapnick1566]

That’s what happens when you produce a low budget off-studio movie. No one is able to count correctly.

[@royrice8597]

Only 3 out of 24 who played in this movie showed their faces on cast list!! The “teenager” isn’t a day under 26!! For the most part this was their first and last movie. We watch these out of sheer curiosity. Thanks 👍👍👍

[@andrewstinson3284]

When the cops asked the doctor for Sonny's description, he stated he was around 20-years-old. He was not presented as a teenager.

[@mikeoak5289]

One thing I like about these old movies is when it's a night scene it's really night, rather than filtered daylight where you can see the clouds and people's shadows and it still looks like daytime.

[@VictoriaAlfredSmythe]

good stuff A-

[@TheRudySchwartzProject]

One of the music themes was also used in "Orgy of the Dead", which isn't surprising since it's the same composer.

[@SteveTheFazeman]

The movie was worth watching for the office and home decor and TWA scene.

[@michaelt.hayessomestuffili48]

For me, the best thing about this movie was imagining how good those hamburgers would taste (@ about 5:40).

[@nedludd7622]

The beginning with the injured guy is pretty unbelievable.

[@malkaringel7864]

Decent movie. Worth the 1 hour of 🕙 to 👀 watch. Think this is my 2nd viewing as I love the film noire genre n try to go through them. Music was perfectly suited, as well.

[@BrokenTrout]

That is great Malka, glad you enjoyed the film.

[@willieluncheonette]

if you like film noir i'm sure you've seen Kiss Me Deadly. just in case you haven't, you can watch it on youtube in a sparkling print. One of my 2 all time fav film noirs,

[@RRW1982]

Well, according to the mores of the time, it might have actually been kind of indecent as far as the story line and the characters portrayed, but and B-movies go, its threadbare feel adds to its overall success...and the music is a real key part of that.

[@RRW1982]

@@malkaringel7864 I'm not sure if it's improved with age...but another overlooked gritty and sparse noir (and also may be VInce Edwards' very first movie role) titled Murder By Contract. It includes Herschel Bernardi (no, he doesn't sing). It went a long time before being listed in most film reference books, and is quite the moody movie.

[@MrCianomaris]

Love the shock closing scene when he crutches away from the plane as a one legged amputee. Drives home the consequences of his actions that crippled him for life. Perfect cheesy finish for a perfect B movie.

[@BlueHaze7024]

Mad Men used the falling man in the opening credits as this movie does. A lot of old movies were watched to create Mad Men which was a good thing.

[@scottleft3672]

its horrible....but only because of the towers.

[@sohara....]

I loved the opening credits. Very sixties. Might even have liked the TV-style thing of showing portraits beside the actor/character names

Decent jazz track, but burger joint jukebox was silly.

[@tpe54]

The opening scene of the restaurant seems pretty innovative at the time....... the camera keeps rolling as the scene changes from outdoors right up to the different music and the hamburger closeup

[@pierrebarrioz377]

announcing "Happy days" scenes in the 70es

[@gailjarvis2592]

Yeah. I noticed too. Excellent, artful camera work there.

[@RRW1982]

A few other scenes show that the camera was moving on a dolly and rotating in a different one at the same time, which creates a sophisticated look when watching...easy to overlook because it seems quite logical, but technically it must be somewhat complex.

This story makes no sense. Wouldn't the police figure out that, if the kid shot Monarch, why would he have taken the trouble to drive him to a doctor to get taken care of -- and show himself to the doctor?

There must be thousands of dumb stupid storys which could be told about the low I.Q. ideas crocks have.

[@markr.devereux3385]

That probably would have come up at the trial I would bet

[@Nefarioso]

And why wouldn't the police immediately go to the crash site and then realize the kid was telling the truth?

Thank YOU for performing on your own a point of hospitality the program notes should include for all works of this caliber! Catfights, and what would and should be a checklist of possibilities from which "musts" must simply must in order for cheese to be served, define the genre and, absent, scare the horses. 28:36, huh?
