Today I Hang (1942) CRIME-MYSTERY

Stars: Walter Woolf King, Mona Barrie, William Farnum
Directors: Oliver Drake, George M. Merrick
Henry Courtney, a wealthy importer is found murdered and the famous DeNormand necklace has been stolen. The false testimony of two witnesses, Rand and Hobbs, puts Jim O'Brien in the shadow of the hangman's noose. Martha Courtney, widow of the murdered man and Jim's former sweetheart is convinced he isn't guilty, and promises crooked lawyer Roger Lanning the necklace - which Jim doesn't have - if he can arrange for Jim's escape. Rand and Lanning killed Courtney, but Lanning doesn't know that Rand has the necklace.

I personally feel,the older movies are a lot better than those published today

[@dougaldouglas8842]

Class, absolute class, and how do you go wrong with the oldies? Today it is a toss-up for quality

I LOVE these old movies...so much better than ANYTHING today!!

[@richardnogan4579]

Even these ol clever, "B," movies are better than most garbage today .

[@petekanter4582]

What's the ol' saying this low-budget gem brings to my mind? Oh, yeah: "Winners never cheat, and cheat, and cheaters never prosper."

[@kittyblak393]

Omg, everything Mona touched was gold, a superb talented actress, whether it was a b movie or a Hollywood style production, 🥰🥰🥰

Love old stuff. The women are so slim. Just great

[@neilangus4401]

These movies have an elegants about them Especially the women

[@dr.skipkazarian5556]

Dead smack in the middle of World War Two and no mention, no connection, not even a sniff of the winds of conflict....that's what I call total focus!

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

Gorgeous use of Technicolor.

[@jamesmc04]

35 minutes in, & I’m worrying about what is going to happen.

[@mysteriesoflife64]

Good simple movie Fun to watch

[@yeahriight57]

Thank you for sharing 😃

[@petekanter9059]

It's always entertaining to watch a story of a criminal lawyer, who thinks that he can get away with being a criminal, himself. (Michael Raffaetto lived almost half way thru his 90th year of age): December 30th, 1899 to May 31st, 1990

With all her money, it seems she could buy some new hats. Maybe the one she wears all of the time is glued to her head.

[@StevenTorrey]

More curves than Miss Courtney's hats makes for a good thriller to the very end. Excellent in every way.

Sam Bernard, who had played Slick Pheeney, was born by the name of David Jones. He took his screen name from an actor who'd made only 15 stage performances and just 5 films --all of them silent -- from 1915 to 1921, (The real Sam didn't quite make it to 63: June 9th, 1863 to May 19th, 1927) The co-star of TODAY I HANG was 53 years old in 1942. He passed away 2 mos. and 12 days after his 61st birthday: July 5th,1950.

These old black-and-white movies are great the better than these movies that make nowadays

[@TheAntipedy]

Thanks

When I grow up, I want to be mouthpiece with all the answers. ☺

[@TheRoadDawg]

I watch tons of old movies, and I’m somewhat enjoying this one. But in all honesty, this isn’t one of the best casts I ever seen. In fact, several of the primary actors/actresses are downright terrible. It’s still a decent story and a good watch, but don’t plan on being overwhelmed by any means.

[@suzieqwonder3089]

Plaid curtains!

[@junewaters3415]

Ever come across any good Peter Lorre films like crime and punishment or The Verdict with Sydney Green street? Would love to see them and who can forget the original TITANIC.?... Help

[@mperry1329]

June Stephens Are you kidding? I love the very movies that you have named, stupid You Tube always manages to yank down the good things no matter how long ago they were made. Peter Lorre is great to watch. Double Help!!! I hear ya buddy!

the Mr. Moto films are very nice. several of them. The Maltese Falcon is great. Hope you see this.

[@SueEmmDee]

The sound is not loud enough.

[@doreen0]

@17:44. It takes an old Dame with memory loss at her age she didn't open the door she unlock the door! Then she says he acted mighty strange too. That's a wicked old 🙄 broad nasty ...

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

Corruption!

[@dawnwilliams3865]

pretty borning.I still had to see the end. lol

[@randyjones4044]

+Dawn Williams what does that mean?

[@junewaters3415]

Thanks so much for this! By the way When I prayed today I thanked God that I lived long enough to see a Black Man President. Wish my parents were alive to witness it.😇

[@michaelmack3812]

Antony Andre' Just not true about spending more time in the air and out of country than in office. The last president Bush has that record if we include vacation days. This is strait from a horse's ass.

[@justjakeism]

+June Stephens its just to bad he is such a disgrace to the office wish it was somebody blacks could be proud of or all Americans could be proud of this man proved himself a sorry liar.

[@danielstanwyck2812]

+jake welsh Bought the bologna of the Republicans, did you? Discernment was probably never one of your better points.

[@randyjones4044]

+June Stephens perhaps one day he will participate with the title.

[@leestevens9921]

Anyone who thinks that it's a good idea to allow men in women's bathrooms is the one with the discernment issue.

[@michaeljohnson4204]

This is so farfetched, would a guy use a gun and then hide it in his luggage, and would a guy sit around for an hour after he pulled the trigger so the cleaning woman would spot him and no fingerprints on the gun but what about gunpowder on his hand and coat and if he knew he was dead, why hang around. The partner did it, he was fighting in the beginning of the scene.

[@Mrskateboardboy]

I suppose if you enjoy Films Noir you may enjoy this movie, but I didn't!!
