I love vintage films. New to me. Thanks for sharing with us.

I was hesitant to watch this movie, I am so glad I did! I thought it was going to be low budget with poor acting and directing. It wasn’t! Great plot, actors and directing! In a day when people still had some morals! Thank you 🌷

People today have neither less nor more morals than people back then. Community standards change and people follow them. Most people are sheep and think that by conforming to such arbitrary standards that they are "free".

[@Serenadesong]

@@nedludd7622 Well they have less in the sense that they are conforming to the modern standard, which is to exhibit and follow less moral like behavior.

*_Definitely_* a well conceived, well scripted, and well portrayed "little drama" about fundamental *JURY TAMPERING......* 👌 Predictably, buying juries is unfortunately something that occurs far more often than one dares to admit!!! Really Good cast, with an unusually devious role for Richard Carlson.... 😎 *THX* Porch Goose = Enjoyable.

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

Jury rigging does not happen “far more often than one dares to admit.” As someone who has worked in the courts for nearly 20 years, I can assure you that such efforts take place very rarely. The penalties are severe.

Even though Richard Carlson & Regis Toomey were cast outta type, they both did an excellent job here!!

Thank you for uploading this gem for us to enjoy ! I had never heard of this movie before now. Though it was a low budget picture, I thought the script & the cast were VERY good ! Strange credits, though. The opening credit say its an Allied Artists production. But the closing credit says its "A Universal Picture". Now, there's a mystery for you ! 🙂

[@dianal.clausen8118]

Probably an Allied Artists film but released through Universal. I've seen it before, but don't understand how it works.

The movie theater 'witness' (Gordon Peters) was played by Scotty Beckett in his last credited role (he had three uncredited parts over the next couple of years), he started very young with Our Gang (1934) and made a great many films, his biography is a poignant story.

That's the era of The Code of Ethics: the guilty ARE guilty, no one breaks the law and gets away with it under the Hollywood Production Code of Ethics which began in 1933 until 1962 when the founder, a catholic priest, passed away. The extreme moral decline in society has been running pell mell into perdition ever since.

Do you want everybody to that I can’t support my own family? When I was pregnant, my sister bought me a beautiful, new maternity dress. My husband was furious. Does she think that I can’t support my own wife? Does he even see that it was because that my sister loves me and just wants to give me a gift? His foolish pride gets in the way and perhaps he’s a little bit jealous. Maybe he feels that my love for my sister might come between us. Men, go figure. 🙄🙄🙄

Wszystko jest iluzją z wyjątkiem wiecznej i niezniszczalnej Jaźni. Niczego nie zmieniaj. Po prostu praktykuj bezruch, aby mądrość przychodziła z umiejętnością pozostawania w bezruchu. Po prostu oglądaj i słuchaj. Więcej nie trzeba. Bycie nieruchomym, patrzenie i słuchanie aktywuje w tobie niekonceptualną inteligencję. Niech cisza kieruje twoimi słowami i czynami. Pierwszym stopniem głupoty jest wiara w siebie, że jest się mądrym, a drugim jest głoszenie tego.
