[@1949LA-ARCH]

I love Barbara Britton. I first saw her in the 1949 movie “Cover Up”. She is so beautiful. Thanks for the movie !

[@gregorymcleod1347]

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you!

The Best movies are on you tube! Thanks.M.B.

[@johnnyray88]

I remember Barbara Britton on the TV series Mr. are Mrs. North back in the 1950's. She was always glamorous. She died at a early age of 60.

[@davegreene8588]

She also co-starred with Ray Milland and Walter Slezak in "Till We Meet Again", a WW2 movie.

Convertible going 110 mph and they both kept their hats on. 🤗

[@CissyBrazil]

I love these old movies. The music becomes soft with violins when a women walks in. :). Or a "sister" walks in. Lol

[@prasenjitdey4222]

👌👍👏👏 The made him a "Killer" he sure kills by the heart!! Good movie, Oldies are the goldies.👍

When they knew how to make movies. Great acting, good story line and no need for the modern day techniques to make up for the lack of these.

No swearing, cursing, gratuitous sex, unnecessary blasphemy; these films had class with social modesty.

Thank you

[@rhondae8222]

Great movie! Thanks

[@katiezee2]

oooh a reference to Diogenes (4th century BC Greek philospher) in casual conversation of guys hiding out from the cops ! That's something you don't get everyday in B movies.. .Odd that the guys hiding out in a basement for days on end keep wearing their ties all the time

[@davegreene8588]

Keeping the ties on - probably a vain attempt to prevent their B.O. from seeping out of their dirty shirts.

[@xmillion1704]

Yes, Diogenes, a nice touch by a pedantic scriptwriter and frustrated novelist, we may assume.

[@cgpyper7536]

This is a really good double-feature flick; complete with high-tech. Thanks PFlx.

[@TimmysFavs]

Loved that tow truck!

[@TheKonga88]

It is a bone kramzarek

[@nedludd7622]

Except for Barbara Britton, the truck was the best thing about this film.

what a great movie.they don't make them like this anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sergusbower1270]

[@armando6565]

These movies are great!....the sad part is that they belong to another era,.....when life was great and beautiful,.....not like now .........when life is....HORRIBLE .....and all the scumbag ..assholes that run everything in the world today.

[@jasoncollins1702]

A familiar story, well told.

[@richposports7030]

...How do you lose a car you're chasing....one that you're shooting at....in a straight line/road...??!!! Loooool. The hats were locked on!! Looooool!!!

[@junerobertson4389]

Lowery really got better looking with age. Wish I had seen CA back in the best days.

[@weedkanda6531]

should be waaaaaayyy more thumbs up

[@hydrogenroar]

This movie is so bad it's good. Love the scene where he flips over the bed the critically wounded guy is lying in in order to get away from the cops, yet he's the GOOD guy!!! Also love the scene where he jumps out of the window onto a tree but the window is clearly on the ground floor! Many more scenes that are outstandingly terrible await.

[@gsf5882]

I am pretty sure he was already dead by that point.

[@britishmiller3665]

I think the man was dead at that time. The window and the tree...yes, that was funny!

[@jasoncollins1702]

Of course he was dead, which is what makes the bed flipping so unusual for the time; and that's one thing that makes this a good movie, period. Also, there's no clear indication through the window that's he's on the first floor. That's a pretty short tree if he is!

[@nedludd7622]

Sort of a Ma Barker story.

[@scottjustscott127]

Fun movie but full of holes and lots of them. One, where the hell did he get and was able to record the record for the jukebox? The two leaving in the end, where did the car come from? Oh, the days of B pictures and a time of innocents of people.

[@jasoncollins1702]

One, she got the record from a record pressing plant; and he rewired the jukebox and strung a lead. (Did you think he really wanted air? It had been established that he was a technical person, having fixed everything faulty in the restaurant.) Two, they got the car from a car yard.

[@TheKonga88]

They are from outer space so nothing makes sense to dumb humans 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🌃👽👽👽👽👾👽👽👽👽

[@chriscross5617]

(04:00) He's supposed to be doing 110mph but the back projection looks like the usual 28mph & look what he's doing with the steering wheel! Plus their hats must be nailed to their heads! Aaaah - those were the days

[@suzysandor3131]

While cooking this mildly entertaining

[@flaviacastagnola4859]

Hello! Does anyone can tell me if this movie is in public domain (royalty free)? Thank you!!

[@marywilliams9858]

Guys should start wearing hats again. It is do dashing.

[@davegreene8588]

Ah, but those hats wouldn't go with the stupid hairstyles of today.

[@birdlynn417]

I know it, very classy. When culture cared about class, yet it served a purpose keeping the head warm too.

[@bludaisiestarlite7626]

Excellent

[@StevenTorrey]

While the movie may have been produced by Paramount's B Unit, the acting is passable, the story line hangs solid with a certain psychological acuity justifying motivation and behavior.

[@jasoncollins1702]

Psychological acuity? The guy doesn't want to fry; and neither would anyone else in the same spot.

[@barrysmith5830]

yeah

[@rwffolkes3039]

Lowery was a movie serial Batman

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

The title for this reminded me of some graffiti I saw in a public toilet once. It said, "MY MOTHER MADE ME A LESBIAN!" Someone had written underneath, "IF I BUY THE WOOL, WILL SHE MAKE ME ONE?"

[@jackthompson391]

06:59 Look at the background as the guy is shot & the car pulls away- the background in the close up shot is fast moving - the far away shot shows the car just pulling away from the curb. They don't match. LOL

SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW! 😂😂😂😂😂😂🌃

[@dstorm7752]

[@mrsteveinsandiego]

3:56: doubt that car, back then, could come close to 110 mph.

[@literati21]

if i worked in a garage, white wouldn't be my choice

[@AndyMangele]

LOL

[@cgpyper7536]

Right; However, I remember seeing a lot of (all) mechanics wearing white in those days.

[@TheKonga88]

They have to wear white so giant queen ants can see them and mate with them.. 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👸👑🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👽

[@DavidRice111]

Through much of the movie, I kept imploring Barbara Britton, "Please, PLEASE lose that "mammy yokum hat!"

[@lousteinberg5624]

Funny how in the days of the 40s, most of the gangsters always wore suits & ties. (formal criminals). Robert Lowery (early Batman) was very under-rated.

[@blackcatsmith]

...and I suppose they "made" you punch out that female med student as well!?!

[@brianwellbrock8431]

Triggered

[@jasoncollins1702]

What would you have done? Let her scream and take the chair? I'm sure he didn't want to do it, just as he wasn't really a killer. That's the dramatic irony of the situation that drives the plot, and the knocking out of the student adds to the growing sense of urgency. (It's more telling of the era that a female does the clean up; and I'm certain Tom would've knocked out a male student with equal disregard.) Tom's patronising attitude towards his female partner, on the other hand, gives her the opportunity to assert herself, and help him; and it's these complexities that make the scene with the female medical student far from being in any way irresponsible or offensive.

[@xmillion1704]

Yes, the producers and scriptwriters of this piece of fiction, very literally made that character appear as if to punch out many other characters, including the one you specified. This was no white knight, but a morally compromised character, whose greed led him to make some questionable choices.

[@angelawilliams1451]

Too damn dark! 🙄

[@bobdownes162]

If you come across other movies that are too dark, tilt your screen forwards . It will lighten the picture somewhat. Though I must admit, doing it , did not help so much on this movie.
