The Night Holds Terror (1955) Classic Film, John Cassavetes, Kim Hunter | Full Movie HD

[@johnradovich8809]

Been looking for this forever. Thank you!

[@wendybutler1681]

I use noir to fall asleep (raging insomniac). This one failed to do that for me. Eyes wide, glued to my tablet, dog twitching and kicking against me as he chases badgers in his dachshund dreams. This is a really good film. Cast was EXCELLENT and their work is top-notch in this, all of them. A bit of a character study of the 5 main roles, especially the wife as she makes decisions no one should ever have to make. I'm only 1:02 into it so I don't know how it ends as I write this. If my opinion of the film changes in the next 23 minutes I'll let you know. You will not be disappointed in this excellent movie. I was born in 1957, an out of the womb fashionista. I have been OBSESSED with full skirted shirt-dresses my entire existence. My first was a pink hand me down and I LOVED it. The fashions and styles of home decor, architecture, cars are a real treat for me. Every once in a while I see something from my childhood that triggers cascades of memories. A clever, simple kitchen towel rack took me right to my grandma's kitchen and beautiful recollections. Thanks, Ay Music, for bringing us a great old film.

One of the better movies of that time.

Acceptance of reality is one of the better ways to propitiate the Furies

Great Movie! Thanks for the upload! I've always loved John Cassavetes! And the protagonist sort of reminds me of a young Bruce Willis for some reason. Would've made a fine remake for him in his day in my opinion. Thanks again! 😊🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@gj8683]

The plot description above is dead wrong on several counts. Maybe it was one of those AI hallucinations. For one thing, Jack Kelly and Hildy Parks play the married couple, and the husband's character's name is Gene, not Alfred. John Cassavetes plays the leader of the crime gang. But thanks for uploading! It was a great crime drama all the way through.

[@wendybutler1681]

Agreed on all points. Really good film.

Vince Edwards starred as a doctor in a popular medical TV show called Ben Casey in the 60's.

[@EmilyB-c9w]

Thanks 😊❤

[@francoisnicolas4630]

Nice movie 🎥

[@myrnagroger132]

The ending was very abrupt....but good police work for 1955. I think IT WAS BETTER in those days then it is NOW....I was a pre-teen then myself!

Never offer a hitchhiker a ride Jack!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@wendybutler1681]

Hubby and I did once. A young couple who did a little dance for us. We stopped. They were just a couple yrs older than we were, free spirits traveling I-5 for some reason I don't recall. We had a lovely time. That was in 1976. Never did it again. I wouldn't even give a woman a ride if she had broken down on the road. Even, I think, if she had a small child with her. I will send help if I can but even stopping to ask if you can call someone can set you up to be robbed at the very least. A woman alone, or even a man alone, is an easy target.

[@danlhendl]

Never jack off a rider

[@BrianMcCarthy-z9l]

Jack Kelly a decade later was one of the stars of the Combat! series.

[@richardnoegel275]

And Kim Hunter was Doctor Zira in Planet of the Apes in 1968.

[@michaelriccio6359]

Excellent film. Edge of the seat excitement.

[@bobdownes162]

You know the Victim will come out of this unscathed ,as he tells us the events that unfolded.. So the tension is waterd down. Also half way through another(unseen) person continues to narrate .

[@LisaBredeson-v1v]

Yes Good looking Vince Edward’s as Ben Casey HUBA HUBA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@matrox]

Good flick.

[@Hondo0101]

Wow!!!! What a great movie!

[@AlfredCerwensky]

Good movie and well played by all. I'm amazed at the high tech available to law enforcement at that time 😂. Photostatic duplicated and place on conveyor belt to speedily deliver to the telegraph office then to the 🐎 PonyExpress...

[@wendybutler1681]

That's part of why I love these old films. A glimpse into haw we used to get things done. That communications center was state of the art at that time. Like the stone age compared to our digital age. I've decided not to become a criminal-type in my senior years.. Far too many cameras and cell towers to get away with anything.

[@workmcb3838]

Not Kim hunter as the wife. Actress name was Hildy Parks. Did some nice work in this picture.

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

Can you tell me the title of a similar movie with Frederic March & Humphrey Bogart, please ?

[@stevensica5918]

THE DESPERATE HOURS. It was remade in 1989 with Anthony Hopkins and Mickey Rourke.

[@wendybutler1681]

IMDb has all the info on everything. Internet Movie Database. I look up almost everything I watch for one reason or another, identifying cast, filming locations or the year it was released. TV and movies. Documentaries and silent films. The earliest television broadcasts and projects still in pre-production. It's an excellent resource for film and television buffs. Bios and trivia, too.

Great movie. 🍿 they don’t make them like this anymore 😢

[@GregoryGLake]

Yawn . . Some original?😂

[@wendybutler1681]

No, they don't. CGI has replaced plots and gifted actors. I've seen enuf explosions and special effects to last the rest of my life. Just give me a good story, well told. That's exactly what this film is.

[@alph1057]

Cassevettes was one of the criminals.

[@zxtenn]

Moral of the story is DON'T pick up hitchhikers! Didn't Vince Edwards play a Doctor a few years later??

[@cheeptrick5464]

Right! Dr Ben Casey

[@zxtenn]

@@cheeptrick5464 That was it!! Thanks.

[@alfabeech]

Yes. It competed with Dr. Kildare starring Richard Chamberlin. ( We're getting old )

Ya gotta like a sappy ending

[@survivaltrekker6677]

Liked the movie except the ending. Didn't like the wife's acting. She was too over-dramatic and phony.

[@RobertGuidry-f3f]

BS on it being a true story.

[@ottospecht8438]

The crime that became the basis of The Night Holds Terror occurred on February 13, 1953. Eugene M. Courtier was an Edwards Air Force Base technician, and the kidnapping took place on a Lancaster, California highway. The sale of Courtier's car also took place in Lancaster. The criminals, Leonard Daniel Mahan, James Bartley Carrigan and Don Eugene Hall, were tried and convicted.[1]

[@RobertGuidry-f3f]

@@ottospecht8438 Thank you, but the movie still could have been better.

[@GregoryGLake]

Please give it a rest buddy😢

[@wendybutler1681]

There were more than a few of these type of crimes committed back then. From the 20s thru the 60s (roughly). Toddlers to business executives taken for ransome. That is a fact, my friend. They mention statistics some point, including the Lindburg baby. This is an excellent, well made film.

[@wendybutler1681]

Around 1:15.

[@burthectorcummings6732]

I fell asleep twice watching this film and turned it off a few times. I also fast forward to see if it got any better, it didn't. Terrible acting terrible film.
