I love B&W Movies! I like them so much better than what is out in the theaters now a days, or even what is on the TV! I even like the actors and actresses much better and the clothes were cool looking. Thanks for this gem and for making my today happier than my yesterday!

[@kennethlongsr4009]

I agree completely, they made all these great B&W classics and they are rated G and yet they are entertaining. That takes talent, from the writers and actors and directors. Today the only thing rated G is a cartoon, and even they are crappy. Not like the old Warner Bros Looney Tunes, made by artists, each individual frame. You can see the quality in those old cartoons too. Hollywood today depends on computer generated scenes and sex and violence and profanity. We don't want that, but it's pushed upon us , so we start accepting it.

This is so true. Anytime you find someone murdered it's best to move and hide the body until you can solve the murder. That's the best move if ever in doubt. Also lie to police so they will see how brilliant you are when you solve the mystery.

[@im1who84u]

57:01 I always wondered about those open barred "windows" in the back of jail cells that opened up to the free world. 1. What happens when it rains or is cold outside? 2. Most importantly, it is so easy for anyone to slip them any kind of weapon through those open bars. Even the old Andy Griffith show had open windows in the backs of their jail cells. The funny thing about the back windows on the Andy Griffith show was, when they showed you the Sheriff's Office/Jail from the street view, there was a building connected to the that side of the building with no space in between. From the outside, the buildings shared a common wall leaving no space between the two buildings, making it impossible to have back of the cell windows.

Every role Arthur Lake does, he appears to be doing his Dagwood character more or less. He's a one-trick pony, although it's a decent trick.

I knew that dude was Dagwood Bumstead. I was just checking the comments for a clue and your entry was the first up. very good analysis too.

Separate beds on honeymoon. Quite, quite normal.

[@StampNStitch]

It was because of the codes. These movie codes made it so married couples could never be in the same bed, etc... These codes came into effect in the 1920's. Try watching "Babyface" starring Barbara Stanwyck. Its very steamy! Its one of the reasons the the codes were created.

[@DavidRice111]

Don't bemoan the Hays Code- it helped stall the filth in today's films, which is why most of us are here now.

[@joeyhambrick7048]

I disagree. I like all kinds of movies. Just because I like to share older or underseen films doesn’t mean I don’t like modern stuff as well. I’m glad you liked this though!

[@wayneramquist367]

I'm not alone in my viewpoint of modern movies there's a lot of people that have said the same things I said about them. Movies nowadays mostly are not as good as they were back in the Golden age there will never be another golden age of Hollywood those days are over yes every once in awhile they can make a good movie like a Batman or the first Wonder woman but overall the quality of movies that Hollywood makes has gone way down and all the cuss words in the excessive violence in movies a lot of people don't like that and that's why Hollywood doesn't sell movies like they used to. I mean I keep reading about one Hollywood movie disaster after another at the box office lately I've heard people say because that movie was woke it bombed at the box office that ain't good whatsoever I know you disagree which is fine but Hollywood will never ever return to its golden age greatness. And most people agree with that because I've read a lot of people saying that. Yes every once in awhile I see a modern movie I like but that's just every once in awhile all these stupid movies with all the computer stuff in them they're no good trying to replace stuntman with computer men that doesn't quite work the Batman's good because it's a film noir like the old Humphrey Bogart movies back in the 40s and 30s no computer effects at all in this movie just good acting and stuntmen.
