Take One False Step | English Full Movie | Crime Drama Mystery

William Powell was about 40 years ahead of his time. He would of given any leading man the dust throughout the 60s 70s and 80s... And when he was younger, shew, what a dynamic actor.

Of course Shelly winters is annoying in this. She plays the character brilliantly- a broken psyche so desperate she’ll do anything or be with anyone to get her happy ending. She appears without morals but it’s just because she’s so broken. I think she made an ordinary film extra good. Where the hell did the other woman come from? Martha? Did I blink and miss where she came into it??

Martha is Shelley's friend, and so knows the professor as well.

[@marianmichailidis9395]

Shelly Winters, so watchable, stunning to look at and just in that short scene, she had more captivating magic than any of the insipid so called female stars of today, I am defending a truly talented and amazing actress of old Hollywood, shame some of the watchers of these classic film noir masterpieces can’t see beyond their own noses and unable to appreciate a natural fine actress as the late Shelly Winters, I’d advise those watchers to stick to the boring unimaginative and totally unstylish films that Hollywood is sadly spouting out these days, Shelly Winters if she was around today could knock the socks off most if not all the sad female so called stars of contemporary Hollywood, where has the real star quality of those glamorous days?, sadly gone I’m afraid.

[@Jasper7182009]

You hit it on the head! Shelley Winters in my opinion is the great American actress. And she has the longevity to prove it. Winters has the greatest range in movie roles. She didn’t do accents like Meryl Streep and that’s about the only thing Shelley Winters did not do. But my admiration for her grows every year. She did so many movies that it’s not surprising as in this one to find that Shelley Winters is in it.

[@ronwhitfield8356]

she had to conform to too many execs opinions of her and her acting instead of letting her be normal.

[@wendybutler1681]

She was stunning in her youth. She made every role memorable and could play such a range of characters that folks looked forward to seeing her work. And she worked A LOT! Didn't mind being ugly in a role. She did the gritty as well as the graceful. Roomed with Marilyn Monroe. They shared clothing. MM stretched out the backside and SW stretched out the bodice front. The history of Ms. Winters is quite the romp. IMDb can give you her filmography. Decades of a master at her craft.

[@CinqueMalcolm]

She wasn't stunning. Ask a man. I've seen her early publicity pics. I'm not hating on her, I just don't get her appeal as an actress and she certainly wasn't a looker. Compare her to other beautiful actresses from the era and you'll see how she doesn't fit and was not even close to being in their tier as far as looks. And note how she looked as she aged. Other actresses still look like they used to be beautiful in their heyday while Winters looks like she'd be Roseanne's mother, a role she played.

[@lanceschmidt28]

Shelly Winters was beautiful when she was younger. Pity that she got paid in pasta for a commercial she did and that she and her room mates at the time ate all that pasta because money was tight. Shelly was a great actress, won Academy Awards for The Diary of Anne Frank and A Patch of Blue, and received nominations for A Place in the Sun and The Poseidon Adventure. She should have won for The Poseidon Adventure in my opinion.

[@donmoore7785]

In her later films, it seemed that more times than not she died at the hands of someone, or some unfortunate circumstance. She was indeed a good actress.

[@sarahtwilliams-nj9pz]

William Powell was a well educated professor but had weak points in this movie he let Shelley Winters character control him too much and ended up being the one that created problems that hounded him the most in this movie

[@monicaclark9581]

Powell is too old for the part. Shelly is over doing it in being obssesed over him. And Marsha looks awkward and of outplace in this film. Her flat top hairstyle wasn't complimentary to her at all.

[@cgpyper7536]

An engaging good story and picture of styles of the 40s-50s; especially clothing. (Men dressed sharp, like gentlemen. Ladies dressed tastefully, like ladies.) But Shelly Winters, contrary to other of her performances, presents a very unsympathetic character, making a mess of everything; especially the end. The movie was made in the early years of the "jet/atomic age"; notice the jet-styled grill vent on the Ford shoebox coupe. It was also the transition from giant thundering howling steam locomotives to sleek formidable diesel-electrics. By way of a big steam engine casually pulling through a crossing in the background of an earlier scene, is a flash-glimpse teaser of something serious sure to come rolling along later; the monster steam engine, now fully fired-up, pulling a heavy freight train at top speed; opposite direction, at top speed, triple-engine diesel-electrics pulling a long passenger train, sounding its ominous horn in duet with mournful blasting whistle of roaring steam engine. Heck of a perfect film noir. Thanks for posting DFF: C.A.

"Vic-xg2kc," "the opening credits and as with many films the closing credits too are missing" -- as "donmoore7785" has helpfully noted, surely it's a protection, a precaution in order to keep the copyright holder(s) from insisting KZbin taking down "Take One False Step." It was NOT done to intentionally upset the viewers. And it's nearly inconceivable that the poster, any poster, of the movie would do such a thing. p.s. I very much enjoyed the story, the acting, the settings and the great location photography, so it saddens me to observe a seemingly endless pissing match over Shelley Winters' appeal or talent, yet primarily, her unavoidable-to-ignore, difficult to digest dangerous and unsightly weight gain.

[@cattymajiv]

@@scvandy3129 The owners of KZbin movie channels are, or should be, well aware that chopping up movies does nothing to avoid a copyright strike, any more than the other stupid tricks that have been tried will do. KZbin has long since used computer programs that search the content for copyright infringements. Even tricks that make movies literally unwatchable don't escape the software. Now AI, or artificial intelligence, is used, which is even more sensitive, 1000 times as sensitive. And all channel owners know that, so I find it impossible to believe they think this will help them. I think they mistakenly think that people want this. And I think they never read the comments to find out if they are right. But since commenting is all that we can do, I guess we can only continue. They need to realize that although some info from the opening credits is repeated in the closing ones, there are some facts that are only stated once, in the opening or closing, so we need them both to get all the info.

So even though I don't want to be seen as she is, I'm so grateful to her, and women like her. I'm also grateful to the movie executives, all men in those days, who allowed and encouraged vocal women like her and Bette Davis to speak up.
