Where did Ms. Emerson get her hat..looks like she is gonna take FIGHT! Some Bird is missing their feathers and is walking around NAKED..poor bird! 😂😂😂😅

[@davidhull1481]

Take flight perhaps

[@Erin97]

In court, the male witness was asked: What did she look like. "She was young, very attractive, nicely built...." 😀

[@Brian-pf7qq]

Ms crane is played by Margerie lord who is the mother of Ann Archer the actress

[@JoFunnyOnion]

Thank you for uploading this film.

[@thinkaboutit3366]

It is hard to find good movies 🎥 today…but the past has many 👍

[@inganorden1816]

Around 32:40, has anyone noticed the unfortunate placement of embellishments on the front of Mrs. Emerson's dress?😂 Since she works in the fashion industry, she should have noticed when checking the outfit in the mirror. The movie's costume designer didn't see this? And the actress could have benefitted from a better (supporting) undergarment as well.

[@laurakibben4147]

@inganorden1816 In as many of these great oldies I've worked my way thru, 90% of the actresses have been very small in that aspect. For the ones that weren't so small, they had support but it just wasn't quite as developed yet. Makes me think of Otto Titsling (Beaches reference) every time 😂

[@rubytuesday5412]

Thank you *Silver Screen Classics.* I randomly picked this movie from your huge selection and glad I did! Nicely done.

[@forgottenrelics247]

Oh wow the twist at the end it’s super lolz it makes the saying stand true as u sow, so shall u reap. Good one

[@sheristewart3940]

Oooh, that was good! Fifty-nine minutes of sheer entertainment!

[@REALcatmom]

Sheri Stewart agreed!!

[@chrisn7259]

I guess audiences were more naive back then, but no prosecutor would allow a personal friend of the defense attorney to sit on a jury.

[@womensarmycorpsveteran2904]

Chris N that’s exactly what I was thinking. I worked in superior court for 13 years.

[@louisbrugnoni1291]

Movie people! Obviously needed for the plot! Of course it wouldn’t happen!

[@mattdeans9873]

This is a movie I just picked out sight unseen to watch. Im glad I did; its a great movie and only in one hour.

[@anombrerose6311]

HEAVENS! I've NEVER seen a movie end that way. Fabulous. So STUNNING. By the Way, this Candidate's Wife was Marjorie Lord, who played Danny Thomas's wife for several years on TV, where she played a lovely sweet Lady and a wonderful wife and mother, the most gentle and gracious sweet hearted person.

[@sheriecooper4260]

No one with half a brain would leave that in their pocket.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

Certainly one of the better old movies i have seen!

[@elijahrose2144]

nice movie seven stars thank youfor movie

[@davidhull1481]

BEWARE: the end of the movie was cut off. It’s missing about 3 minutes.

[@laradavenport903]

Thanks for the warning! I will find somewhere on youtube when I could.

[@daisycassidy2448]

Marjorie Lord sort of reminds me of a 30-ish Priscilla Presley, before that awful plastic surgery. Beautiful women in their time. Actress Anne Archer is her daughter.

[@suzih.6687]

Daisy Cassidy I did not know that Anne Archer was her daughter!! I can see some resemblance now.

[@REALcatmom]

Daisy Cassidy she is stunning in this role.

Muito obrigado Pedro Dantas 🍭 Another 1 st class choice of yours 🍮 Love 💗 the scene when the very handsome man removes her fur coat 🍾 Oh dear such chivalry 🍸 Please make it come back 💫🌹 And the music is enchanting 🐿🦋💃🏾🧞‍♂️ Bom dia Pedro ~~ Soberbo🧚

[@zorromaskedman685]

The housekeeper is Mrs.Hudson...of 221b yes Mr.Sherlock Holmes. "The Curse of the Mink Coat" should be the title of this mystery. He should have handed the paper back to her in exchange for the official verdict, that would have been the ethical thing to do. The judge said read the verdict!

Moral of the story: Never do anything for which you can be blackmailed.

[@gardengnome3249]

That's a Homer Simpson statement if ever I heard one. DOH

[@QueenBee-gx4rp]

My Dad used to tell me: Never do or say anything you wouldn’t want to see on the front page of our newspaper 📰! It was good advice.

[@MK-hh1vo]

And never carry around a blackmail note in your pocket!

[@rogerjenkinson7979]

@coveryourassets. but if you got away with it once, maybe you can get away with it again? Yeah! of course you can you know how to do it now...

[@markr.devereux3385]

Is blackmail a criminal offence? It certainly is not ethical by any standard. I can't remember any convicted blackmailers.

[@MBFLA45]

Pretty good. A few surprises along the way... although the final one was sort of expected. Thanks for posting it.

[@sheristewart3940]

Yeah, I knew when she hurriedly stuffed that letter in her mink, as her husband knocked on the door, that that letter would play a prominent role later in the film.

[@prasenjitdey4222]

I thought the movie ended abruptly.??? However a very good movie.!!👌👍👏👏👌

[@shelbygreen3404]

Wow 😮 awesome movie 🍿 so dangerous Mrs Crane

[@Laura-tp8wz]

This was quite a charming old movie. The actress reminds me of Ellen Dolan from Guiding Light. Thank you!

[@mariarooney6262]

She played the wife of Danny Thomas in “Make Room For Daddy”.

I don't like people cheating on their spouses and using them to buy expensive gifts while doing so..nothing good to learn here no message worth sitting thru .. IMO

[@almeggs3247]

jennifer siagian that’s what my x did to me prior to divorcing me She ran up my credit cards and would pretend to pay the utility bills She got all the mail before I did. One morning the water was shut off while taking a shower I started to get suspicious

[@iignorerepliesfrombores4010]

Don't bother with " I Love A Soldier" with Paulette Goddard!

[@jennifersiagian]

@@iignorerepliesfrombores4010 film like this implants a sub conscious message.."It's OK:" to do your companion dirty.. much like Bruce Springstens "Lonely Heart: song.. you see. . ok take care.. PS: I have YT channel PLAYLISTS only but there's a lot of Good Movies" queued there .. enjoy!!

[@davidhull1481]

IT’S A MOVIE!

[@smcfall3]

Wasn't Marjorie Lord one of the mothers in a 1950's sitcom?

[@katherinehine4153]

Yes, she was Danny Thomas´s t.v. wife in the sitcom Make Room for Daddy.

[@davidhull1481]

Duh. Try IMDb when you have a question like this.

[@laradavenport903]

Why did you cutted off the end?! What type of person does that?😠

[@TheYorkshirelady]

I think the character of Barbara looks like Julie London.

[@venkatreddy392]

Start to finish 👍

[@markr.devereux3385]

A no name studio production with obscure actors and it turned out to be a good film. Released in 1948 and that seems to be favorable for film noir. Also 49 50 and 51 before men's and women's styles changed. I thought the 1940s had more beauties and gritty crime stories.

[@annprince5298]

The description of the mink put me off, when she said it was hard to get the skins maybe some escaped, thank god The idea of killing an animal for it,,fur is finished except Lady GAGA of course!! I will finish the film.

[@earlwest3502]

Yes I most heartily agree- thank you for your caring compassion!!!

[@godisgracious3783]

[@user-wc7mo9uo9o]

What an ending! Really good mystery movie!

[@REALcatmom]

The ending cuts off abruptly. Does anyone wonder if the model and the attorney fall in love? And what about Gina/Jenny!

[@bobsaturday4273]

good production , acting , directing but the story kinda turns your stomach to know theres people that trashy and criminal infecting the rest of society . this "fiction" us surely a glossed over version of the real nasty that people succumb to

[@brendabell9534]

What a ridiculous looking hat!!!

[@valeriea.larsson1687]

another movie that was shut off before the final ending. Why? This means that the person running these videos should be taught how & I should stop watching these poorly run movies.

[@davidhull1481]

I was wondering about that, the running time on IMDb is longer
