Highway 13 (1948) Full Action/Drama Movie | Robert Lowery

[@jennyjerome5669]

The 'B' (or less) pictures back in the day are far better than today's blockbusters. Now, mediocrity abounds.

[@ergbudster3333]

Back in the day scriptwriters were literate people, well versed in the classics of literature. Some of America's greatest writers were employed by Hollywood to craft scripts. Nowadays the beancounters rule and the bottomline is the only concern. And so it goes.

[@frankchary9717]

The immediate post WW II Era in our country was our best days. It's been down hill ever since. Last time I saw this on TV was in the early 1960s.

[@greekveteran2715]

That's true. WWII was thw part of the plan,where the final phase of the destruction of humanity,where the depopulation would continue with more measures and not just wars,as also the point were they developed the technology,that would made their plans viable. TV and cinema were their first tools,to program and manipulate humanity.Then they added internet and digital technology,to completely destroy everything and everybody. Every poison they add to their weaponery,is addictive and they advertise it,by making it a fashion. Tatoos,Smoking,drugs,videogames,internet,tablets,pcs,mobiles etc etc.

[@markr.devereux3385]

The best noirs 1944 - 50 single best year 1949.

[@danieljohnstone6805]

Agreed frankchary

[@infraredruby2]

For white middle class people, yes. Not so great for the black soldiers that sacrificed and spilled their blood for our freedom then came home to use the “Coloreds Only” water fountains and sit in the back of the bus.

[@Elainerulesutube]

An innocent time with nothing to worry about!

[@austenj4539]

Nice to see actress Mary Gordon here in 1948 playing the cook/wife of 'Pops'. She played Mrs Hudson in the Basil Rathbone days of Sherlock Holmes a few years earlier.

[@winschmitt4919]

Love the opening montage of ridiculous accidents🤣

[@hertzair1186]

Hence the name….Highway 13.

[@danimojoe8563]

Yep. That’s how the population got so big. Accidents

[@markr.devereux3385]

That creme colored coupe just launched into space. Cool fireball😂😂😂

[@fredzag2452]

Always fun to see an oldie as I'm one. Glad Micky Rooney or Jack Carson isn't in it. Good to see all the old cars and trucks. Can't hear well but this movie came through clear as a bell.

[@myrnagroger132]

Always liked Robert Lowery, maybe because he reminded me of Victor Mature and having similiar roles.

[@gregoryhenderson2640]

I like Victor Mature.

Pops (Clem Bevans) at 68 has to be one of the oldest murderers in movies! He sure looked older than 68!

[@robertwalker5521]

His first movie of any note was a Henry Fonda one. He did so well the offers came rolling in. Over the next couple of decades he was in 40 or so movies. Fellow actors loved him. Nice life.

Lyle Talbot, hardest working man during this time. What picture didn't he show up in?

Enjoyable movie.

They never seem to stamp out their cigarette butts. They just chuck 'em away. No wonder Smokey is pissed!

[@Ron239]

Great flick with some clever dialogue. The old man, however, keeps swallowing his lines, or maybe I'm just going deaf. But this is a cool flick, no doubt about it.

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

Stanley Price was the dialogue director. I don't know if he was related to Vincent.🦹🦇

Actor Michael Whalen was so handsome in this. 😍

[@winonamassingill7895]

Doris didn’t deserve Hank. She never trusted him when he told her something until she saw with her own eyes 👀 and that shows that she had to have her own proof. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@lindacarruthers3423]

Only a naive girl would take things at face value, women should be sure before they marry .There seemed to be many odd things about Hank .

[@big566bunny]

You can’t expect psychologically sound character studies. In these movies characters do what increases tension, drives the plot, or makes the audience dumb how stupid the character is.

[@awesomedupuppy2437]

unbelievable amount of ads. they start before you're even through the credits. what a shame!

[@kitparker9448]

We have appealed to KZbin to decrease the number of ads. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

[@thisisme3238]

@@kitparker9448 Good luck with that one! That's how KZbin makes it's 💰....thru ads.

[@kitparker9448]

We do have a say in the matter of # of commercials; please continue to watch our movies as there should now be less commercials. Keep me posted.

[@389383]

Adblock for KZbin works fine for me on my pc. I can't get anything to block ads on my Apple phone.

[@laurenceharper4225]

While it is great that people take the time and effort to post movies, I wish that they would put them on at above minimum volume. I have my speaker at max in order to hear the dialogue then the adverts come on and Boom. They blow the doors off.

[@kitparker9448]

I am sorry you are having problems with the audio. Are you having this issue with our other movies? We've not received any negative feedback about the audio on this film. The fact remains that you did, and we want happy viewers. Kit, The Sprocket Vault

Insurance covers our losses". Very tactless comment consider loss on Henrietta.

[@atlasshrugged7475]

Meh - With the exception of how the guy got out of jail and not mentioning the deaths and injuries in the news article on the trucks and suspicion of foul play, no surprises. He is miraculously found not guilty at the end. It was better than nothing.

[@robertpinto6515]

It's not too obvious at the 13.20 mark that the crashing truck is a toy!

Yes.

US Highway 13 runs from Fayetteville, NC to Philadelphia, PA. There are no cacti or deserts, as in the opening titles. Someone needs to learn a little about geography before employing this title !!

[@90FF1]

True. None the less unlucky. '13' where ever it was.

The only good thing about this are the crashes. Pretty unbelieveable plot and dialog.

[@DrAgan_tortojed]

You're partly unjust: though the plot is somewhat questionable, I must say, the actors are brilliant and the thrill is pretty there, too. Now, the weakest spot in a plot (nice rhyming!) is the fact that Frank, himself raised the suspicion when nobody else didn't - he could've continued with the scam since everybody believed those were accidents, not having a slightest reason for "rocking the boat"...
