23 Paces To Baker Street | English Full Movie | Crime Mystery Thriller 

Good observation! One of the main reasons I love watching classic films as opposed to newer ones...

And Vera is dressed so stylishly.

What is wrong with tattoes lol

But murder is ok? Violence is worse than sex any day 😊

@@pisiata3651 It's a generation thing. Nothing is wrong with them at all, it's just, having grown up not surrounded by them, it's ... different.

Thank you, I did not know that

@@molliwilson5639 Nice to hear. Thanks

She was my favorite when I was 10. I thought she was so beautiful. Mom bought me Vera Miles paper doll. She has beautiful dresses and minks!

@@artandminisbyvilma8116 when London was often foggy because homes were still allowed to have wood-burning fires.

@@cindymaceda2999 Everyone be sure to wear your triple mask while you watch the film...

I cannot remember when I last saw a woman wearing a suit, trouser sits yes, but not skirt suits.

he's disappointed me.

I'm a huge fan of Miss Miles. I don't think I'd be watching this movie again and again if it weren't for her. She is totally mesmerizing. I'm not sure why. I'm 80. It's June 24, 2024 and I'm in St. Joseph, MO, USA

@@warrenwilson4818 Greetings from the UK.I'm 74 and originally from London.I remember the old London depicted in those scenes.I played among the bombed out ruins many times.I agree totally with you.Vera Miles was absolutely beauty.I fell in love with her years ago.!.You maybe 80 but you have a young heart.I wish you all the best.Cheers Jim

Wonderful Vera. She played Marty’s long suffering girl in the Searchers, and the scene where she gets a letter from him and has to read it aloud to her family, fizzing with rage, is one of the funniest and tenderest scenes ever.

You forgot the period, I think the end of fifty's or beginning of sixty's! Which is right? Release date may 18 1956 / the year when I was born!

Yes, 1956.

Absolutely lovely 💯 percent

maybe you'd like to explain it to the rest of us.

@@atthebijou8209You are obviously a simple minded troll, going by your comment and others you’ve left on here. Maybe you ought to be watching some kiddies channel? That may be more your level of comprehension?

what film are you watching?

Yes, the disabled hero.

Just two years after Rear Window came out. It's definitely a take-off on Rear Window.

hmm​@@ArthurGroveman

Sounds great!!!! I love this movie...seen before!!!

Didn't you ever see A Patch of Blue? Blind people tend to develop their hearing to compensate for loss of sight. It becomes a sixth sense for them!

​@@pipfox7834 But that doesn't explain his not crashing into things without his cane in a state of panic and rushing around at top speed at the end. I guess they were banking on the viewer being laser focused on Evans whom I guessed was a female because of her diminuative stature and slender frame. I'm surprised she wasn't recognized by Hannon by her perfume. There is another movie, I think it's called "The House on 93rd Street" about Nazi spies and the male cell leader was actually a female who cross-dressed and presented herself as a man at times. This movie was what made me think Evans was actually a woman, but I have to confess, I didn't figure it out until almost the very end. Good movie inspite of all the ads.

​@Brembelia a friend of mine who is legally blind could do what he did. Familiarity with arrangement of furniture helps her a lot...😊

omg most subtle comment award. layered. but I wasn't convinced, and that's what spoiled the flick. imagine Cary Grant in that role and some woman not Vera Miles. omg. imagine Gloria Grahame! or some British chick.

bonjour, Paris ! mais c'est Cecil, non pas Cecile.

unbelievable.

Wait Until Dark was a scary and very suspenseful film way better than this one. While this one is very good there were far more elements of intrigue with Audrey, Ephrem and the other actors. The ending was quite exciting. You would be made to scream at that one but not this one. Just saying.

It's a painting

@@zeljkameznaric6047 actually, it's filmed on location.

Where does Van Johnson's accent come from? I asked because I've Never heard anyone else pronounce words like he does, such as when he said the word "here", when he said it, the word ends in an "a" sound, like in "hea". Listen to it yourself, and let me know what you think. Thanks.

@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 he was born in Rhode Island. think Boston. Eastern seaboard.

*I'm guessing there may be a scene cut out where the details about the toy are explained!*

Check title name on Wikipedia, they do plot summary that might fill in the gaps

We can answer some of these. Spoiler alert!: Phil had overheard something about meeting Mary (which would put things in motion). He assumed Mary was a person. Then realized they might have been talking about the ship: the Queen Mary, and started wondering if that was the "Mary." It was. They checked the passenger list on the boat and talked to any "Lady" who was on board with children. The girl was kidnapped for ransom. We didn't meet her parents, but we heard the mother scream when she realized her daughter had been taken (we don't know how that happened). They would have been contacted when the girl was securely hidden in the bombed apartment building. The killer knew the ad had been in the paper, so he knew to watch for Janet leaving her place to make the call. He followed her until after she dialed the phone, then did away with her. The doll was in the wheelchair and fell out. We don't know why it was significant, but somehow it was a prop the kidnappers used; McDonald had purchased it in the store. Maybe it was a replica of the doll owned by the girl? Lots of twists and turns for sure. A few things left vague. Like we hope they nab the bar lady, she wasn't nice! And Phil and Jean didn't talk about the fact that he knew by the dead phone line (she didn't) that the killer was on the premises. He faked being unkind to her so she'd leave him and fast. For her safety. Whew. It was good. Fine work by all three leads!

Don't investigate too much.... let the charm of the movie operate.... don't try to break it down.

The nanny bought the doll to endear herself to the kid, who dropped it accidentally at the doorway when they were leaving the apartment building.

Wrong - no Peter Lorre in this film!

Ad-free? Surely you jest, unless you are to paying $13.99 per month for RU-vid Premium. For non-subscribers, the ads start one minute into the film!

@@BoPeep8Some films I watch do indeed have lots of adverts in but this one is can’t remember having one!

Yes and no. I would prefer London without mass tourism that’s for sure but movies don’t reflect real life. For all our current problems we wouldn’t want to go back to those time’s despite some changes for the worse.

It really is excellent!

Parker.

I was sick of the inane sophomoric plot of Bridgerton, so I quit watching it and happened upon this excellent film.

@@cindymaceda2999 well, everything's relative.

​@@cindymaceda2999 Season 1 was okay but just barely. I couldnt get past the 1st episode of season2. So soapy

my favorite is Estelle Winwood.

hitchcock was every bit the predator that harvey weinstein was but there was no "me too" while hitch was abusing actresses.

no.

I just googled it, it says there were 60 000 residents of London in 1956

@@kingofdubb2133 it was 8 million 262 thousand , but that carries an error of 2 % and it's a projected number based on the grow index, so it may as well be 9 million 60 thousands that's an average town. London is a capital city!! There's a London I the USA and in Canada. Maybe you got hHe wrong London . Mistakes happen. 🤗

@@kingofdubb2133That’s not right. I remember checking after watching another 1950s detective film, when they too mentioned how many people lived in London, and yes it was 8 million plus in the 1950s.

wwwhhhyyy ?

name one.

There’s so many glitches, goofs, and absurdities in this movie, that it’s simply an unintelligible hot mess.

No, it's not. Van Johnson is making both voices.

@@Claudg2008 It depends where you’re at in the film. There are definitely some segments where it’s clearly not Hannon, but the couple in the pub.

nope. it's Van Johnson all the way.

@@atthebijou8209 I don’t buy that Hannon was doing the woman’s voice.

No, the bartendress is Estelle Winwood. She lived to be 101. Born in Kent. She was on stage 1st in London, then on Broadway. When she was younger she expressed a distaste for films. Turned down roles in the 1920s, few in the 30s, no moves in the 40s, but leaned toward television in the 50s. Then she started picking up more movies in the 60s. Una O'Connor was the screamer in "The Invisible Man". She was born in Ireland and worked extensively in theatre before becoming a character actress in film & TV, her movie career was busy. If you want to see a great film with her playing the maid Janet McKenzie watch "Witness for the Prosecution" 1957. Including Elsa Lanchester, Charles Laughton, Marlene Dietrich (far from her regular glamorous self in this) & Tyrone Power. The movie won 5 Oscars. There are 2 big plot twists. Billy Wilder director (who won the Oscar}, wrote the nurse character exclusively for Elsa Lanchester (who won the Oscar) which Agatha Christie never wrote in the original play, there was NO nurse. If you have never seen it & you like this type of movie, you will thank me later. I have watched that movie over 30 times at least. PS Una was hysterically funny in the movie as Janet McKenzie.

Estelle Winwood, born in 1883, active through 1980 - who can top that? she seems so frail but she's steely. age 73, as the pub owner, in an auburn wig. a stage actress since age 5 in Londons West End, she made her Broadway debut in 1916, then did film (1933) and started a prolific career on TV (1946). you never don't notice her. she's always a treat.

​@@atthebijou8209 I agree, what a gem! She was also in Mad Woman of Chaillot with Katherine Hepburn, Richard Chamberlain, etc.

the way he fiddles with it is unnerving. and he doesn't offer it to Vera, just tosses her a blanket.

My grandfather had one and the collar was made from karakul.

And they were on the jam jars. ❤

That’s not Michael Hordern but Cecil Parker. Right era though!👍
