Terrific flick! I watch a lot of movies and I've never heard of this one or this director. Didn't expect much and was I very surprised. Great filmmaking, camera movement, lighting, dare I say mise-en-scene. Good movie! Then a very neat documentary about the director at the end, plus the preview trailer from its original release in 1942. Awesome!
*Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela.* Hay una película _"vintage"_ como de la década de los 50 o los 60 que, es acarca de *Medusa;* pero no es la típica Medusa mitológica mitad mujer, mitad serpiente... Es una Medusa con forma humana... Esta Medusa puede cambiar a voluntad su cabellera normal a cabellera de amasijo de serpientes... Esta Medusa vive en una zona rural, muy boscosa... Hay muchos árboles de tronco muy grueso y frondoso... y en ese bosque de árboles gigantes, hay animales tipo _Triceratops_ deambulando por allí y en una de las escenas, Medusa está dando un paseo con una persona que no es de ese pueblo -está sólo de visita-. Esta persona visitante no sabe que Medusa es un monstruo que convierte a los seres en piedra... en un momento dado, ellos van paseando y de repente se topan con el Triceratops y Medusa le dice al visitante: _"Mira al dinosaurio, pero por nada del mundo se te ocurra voltear hacia atras"_ Medusa estonces aprovecha y convierte su cabellera normal en una melena de serpientes y el Triceratops al verla, de inmediato queda convertido en una enorme roca con forma de dinosaurio... *¿¿¿Te recuerdas una película así... Cuál es el título de ese filme???* Saludos. ...
I love a little well-made midcentury American movie like this. Got the gorgeous Adele Mara in it, and a couple of my favorite Old Time Radio stars John Dehner(Have Gun Will Travel) and Gerald Mohr(The Adventures of Phillip Marlowe). Loooved it!
I am 75. One fond memory was staying up with my mom to watch the Whistler rerun movies. This was my scary night movie. Staying up past 9:00 p.m. with just me and mom was a big treat ! If anyone gets to see all the Richard Dix movies you won't be disappointed.
20:10 "Scotland yard has no desire to pry into peoples private lives" . Wow. Things sure were simple back in those days! 😳 Quite a good film and an excellent watch for a rainy Sunday.. Thank you Groovy Movies! 👍👍👍👍👍
I grew up without tv.and married a man who had control of the TV now I'm a disabled widow and watch these old black and white movies day and night as much as I can . Live them all
Great movie. Laird had real stage presence. So sad he died so young. I think he would have had a long career. In the short few years that he acted, he dominated every scene. And George Sanders was always a class act. I can remember that he was the voice for Sheerkan , the tiger in the original animated “Jungle Book” . I always loved his voice.
A drunk and a braindead idiot . If that was the case id find someone in the phone book with the same last name . As long as they are kind , they would be in my will and get everything. Not the worthless drunk and the idiot. I wouldn't choose , they'd both be on the next train to hell.
Terrific little film -- and to note, it runs a little over an hour -- the rest of this vid is an excellent mini doc about director John Brahm, starting at 01:03:15
Entertaining movie,and one actress reminded me of Meryl Streep in physical appearance. The storyline was reminiscent of a another movie,made in the 1940's. Irene Hervey was Jack Jones mother.Thank you,for showing this film.
13 years after WW2 and the Americans can't let go of their old enemies, the SS reappears as scoundrels on a remote tropical island in their old pre-war uniforms, Why oh why????
