[@3rdJAR]

💯 agreed. The way these movies were made it kinda feels like you are Ordway’s sidekick and in the room with them. These and all 13 Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are movies I can watch 100 times and still enjoy it. It feels like you’re there, cozy watching on a cold winters night with snow falling and behind the Christmas tree through the bay window (which is softly illuminating the room with colors,) big snow flakes falling thus making the snow that’s already on the ground look like a soft, quiet pink, as the fireplace in the background keeps it warm and cozy inside. Watching these movies with my father to whom has become my best friend both drinking hot chocolate, and watching Nigel fall into a boggy hole. It spat FIRE at me! Like a rolling furnace

Great to see these characters in their young selves. The character of Jimmy Trotter here is played by a young Lloyd Bridges the father of Beau and Jeff Bridges, who are both movie stars in Hollywood as their father was in his time, a true gentleman, loving husband, and father to his children. Great movie..thank you for posting.

It is cool to see Lloyd Bridges in this episode. My dad and I were fans of the Series "Sea Hunt" I was only eight when it was broadcast in black and white at least on our tv. The show inspired my dad to get involved in scuba diving. He trained in one of the schools that associated with Mr. Bridges. My dad went on to do several excursions one he loved to tell about in Catalina . He also became involved with local police in searching for bodies in old mineshafts.

[@alchemybyangela]

I absolutely love old movies! These were from before my time but both my father and my brother were very fond of mysteries and thrillers and I watched along with them, having usually fallen asleep only halfway through. This was considered an old movie by the time I would have first seen it, yet it is old, still, today. They certainly don't make them like they used to.

[@laurakibben4147]

@marypatten9655 Hate to burst your bubble but it wasn't because the ladies back then didn't want them nasty. According to 'Complicated Women', Greta Garbo and all of them wanted to show more than the chaste kisses we see but the powers that be were too afraid it would cause the younger movie goers to want to ya know too😉😉 so the Precode standards were enacted and the rest is what we know to be fine, wholesome films from sweet, innocent times. Hollywood pulling the wool over as per usual.

Warner Baxter radiates a natural dignity. No pomposity, nothing fake or ulterior. The dignity of a good man with self-governance. There were many such through the end of the 1950s, and then there was a general, steady moral decline until we have the average self-serving man of today - not the kind you can trust an inch.

[@goldabernstein1215]

I forgot that Lloyd Bridges was a dramatic actor in his youth. In his later years, he was hilarious in comedies: Airplane, Hot Shots, Mafia!

[@howardkerr8174]

@ Actually, for a short time period, Bridges was blacklisted in Hollywood, Sea Hunt would be a new start to his temporarily de-railed career. While he is famous for his role in AIRPLANE, his movie career was pretty much over by the early 50s...a true shame. He appeared in quite a few movies in the 40s, and I remember seeing him as a " bad guy " in some serial at the beginning of his career.

Lloyd Bridges and Warner Baxter were wonderful actors. Warner was very handsome

[@gailjarvis2592]

Yes. He was an actor my husband introduced me to years ago when we saw him as the angry producer in "Forty Second Street". (Look: you might find some of his scenes here on YT?) He was also The Cisco Kid in that series. He had great range. - I'm 68, and I married an older man: the generations prior to the 1960's produced a much different male of the species.. It was not uncommon to see men of Warner's ilk: self-possessed, well-worded, with a depth of emotion and intelligence we won't see again, I fear. (In women either.) - His generation that gave us the great men that fought the two World Wars and gave their lives in agonizing ways (you don't die like in the movies, friends - or worse, sometimes you don't die and live without a face...). We won't see bravery like that again. - But sorry, a "rant" Baxter was one fine fellow. No matinee beauty.
