Pickup On South Street I American Spy film 1953 I Richard Widmark, Jean Peters, Thelma Ritter

[@kathylynch9732]

I would watch any movie with Thelma Ritter in it!!

[@jessebaldwin2661]

I liked her best in Rear Window. She had a lot of good old common sense.

[@kathylynch9732]

@jessebaldwin2661 She was awesome in Rear Window

[@cattymajiv]

What a great movie Rear Window was! She always plays the same person though, in every movie. She is VERY type cast.

[@anombrerose6311]

Amen!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊

[@anombrerose6311]

Same with Milburn Stone!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊

[@BriteLake]

I'll watch any film Richard Widmark is in. One of my all time favorites.

[@davidhollingsworth1723]

NYC in the 1950s! I was living there in those days! Quite a place Old New York! and Richard Widmark! If he's in it it's gotta be good! Moe! she's been around for ages!

What a different world I was 10years old when this came out.

@ 22 38 New Yawkers say, "How-stun" Street, not (Sam) "You-stun" Street. - -

Great acting with Richard Widmark ❤

[@erickannoual6448]

Great choice Jade 👌

[@thejerseyj5479]

New York City in the early 50's was a place I sure would love to have been able to experience first hand. This was a really good movie, but it had several cuts in it.

[@Alan-rh1el]

As much as I enjoyed this I wonder what difference the missing 3 minutes would make, thanks for posting.

[@adamnoman4658]

Thelma Ritter💖💖💖

[@christopherbellore3511]

What a great movie! Widmark was fantastic. The woman who played "Moe?" She is an awesome actress. Gotta look her up. Damn Commies! Still going on today.

Thelma Ritter

[@christopherbellore3511]

@ohyeahwoof Thanks. I got that. Amazing woman! Born February 14th 1902

RUST never sleeps.....

[@GeeBee909]

She was also in Marilyn Monroe last film, the Misfits

[@HarryJUSINO]

A very Good Movie with a good fight scene at the end....

[@m.w.wilson234]

@12:43 - she held her hand out a second time for the fifty-cent piece. I remember them well.

[@cattymajiv]

I've seen at least 1 other remake of this, maybe even 2 of them. One was from the early 70s I think, and was set in South Africa, with Jacqueline Bisset and a good looking American guy. I forget his name for the moment. I think Thelma Ritter was in it too, and even played the same character!

[@TKKrueger-py5jb]

I saw it. I think it was James Brolin.

[@chuckymurlo5654]

Thanks for the heads up about the scene cutouts..I'm not wasting my time

[@eshaibraheem4218]

The best part of the film has been cut out - Richard Widmark pickpocketing on the subway. Shame on whoever is responsible!

[@ozdavemcgee2079]

Percentages have to be removed to avoid copyright

[@eshaibraheem4218]

@ozdavemcgee2079 But that was one of the best film opening sequences ever. To cut that was senseless.

[@PeggyStrickland-q1g]

Me too she was one of a kind!!

[@jumpinjojo]

Jean Peters was absolutely gorgeous! What a babe!

[@renatoguitarist4993]

Bellissimo film

Excessive use of the forward slash makes your comment annoying. All forms of attempts to be "creative" only make comments unreadable. Just say what you have to say, and drop the attempts to be fancy. Then we can focus on the actual words, instead of the style, which is just distracting and annoying.

[@TKKrueger-py5jb]

This movie was remade years later and was based in Capetown. The star was James Brolin, as I recall.

[@Raging.Geekazoid]

$25,000 in the 1950s would be about $300,000 in the 2020s.

22:30. Never seen anyone suck down food quite like that. He must have been a sow in a past life.

[@jilljames9319]

Yes, Thelma Ritter was the tops in all her movies. Only had to hear her and you new it was a good move. Richard Widmark is or was a great actor too. Such smoothness. Just didn,t like Jean Peters getting so slapped, punched then shot. The music was good too

[@halimaalhiane9284]

[@willieluncheonette5843]

one of the greatest noirs by Sam Fuller

There is a newer version of this basically th3 same plot in South Africa

[@MikeMarley-r9s]

Who wrote this?

[@robinjarvis3883]

The cuts make this unwatchable.

They`v been in America since the 1930s, when workers in cold environments wore them. Every Paperboy in the 50s had one.....

I had some in the 60s.

@@petercooper9277 3 minutes, doesn't impact the quality of the film. Your loss.

Those were the good old days when Hollywood was against the commie.

[@ChrisPatterson-d5g]

Then after that invention failed you invented McCarthyism lol America cannot exist with out an enemy, and if you don't have one then you will invent one, like your commie and McCarthyism ....

[@Hondo0101]

@ChrisPatterson-d5g McCarthy was right. Hollywood was filled with commies.

[@adamnoman4658]

Blowin' In The Wind In the '30s, Hollywood was crypto-socialist; in the '40s, patriotically Soviet; after '45, anti-Red; in the '60s and '70s, back to pinko; etc. Watch "Tales of Manhattan" (1942) for a CPUSA-compliant anti-fascist fable. - -
