@@leelarson107 Nick's comment is especially true for people who have never before had neither the occasion nor the opportunity to watch old movies. What Pizza Flix offers is at the least a wonderful cross-section of historical films. Being as old as they are they often display outdated stereotypes, and if those act as a barrier for a new viewer, that's too bad. With PF there are many options, like a vast lending library, and a view should take chances and watch all sorts of unfamiliar things. Entertainment and discovery all-in-one! Not quite Dr. Bronner's Soap 'all-one', but good anyway!
I have just watched an abomination of a film called 'Vampire Virus' and considering this is 85 years old this beats it 100 times down!!!! Thanks for uploading
@@ericlin9709 Will do Eric. Have had two covid injections, completely painless, wear a mask in shops etc and (more or less) observe social distancing. Do play (or try to!) golf which is quite safe and of course, excellent exercise and fresh air. Regards.
I remember them from the 1950's, when TV was rather primitive and the signal was under-powered. Very poor video, very poor audio, and then no one saw these films for years afterwards. I look for things like this in DVD or even VHS.
They could still build cars like that, but 'planned obsolescence' has made it impractical to produce anything of real quality today. Yeah, thanks a lot, Detroit.
The Weiss Bros. who made this film had a very interesting place in the 'poverty row' aggregation. A number of years ago someone produced a few DVD's devoted to their movies and to their surprisingly major success, much of which is unfamiliar. Their story is quite interssting, and it would be nice to know if those DVD's were on youtube. Low budget and lots of theatrical elbow grease!
Are you sure this movie was made in 1936. Perhaps it was made in 1929 and sat on the shelve then released in 1936. It has all the qualities of the late 1920's. It still is entertaining.
The movies never change, someone running as fast as they can and scared to boot, get caught up with, in this case by a limping psychopath but in the movies by a slow-moving killer that either finishes them off or like in this case gets rescued. No guns in the drawer for protection or a phone handy to call for help but a run for your life mentality.
The way the Fiend walks n moves is a deadringer for Vincent Price's character in the House of Wax from 1951 or 1953, I cant remember which year, but I DO KNOW since this was mafe in 1936, the Fiend character portrayal was the original, so, whether Price saw this n emulated it ir not, they are wonderful performances n portrayals of a Scary skulking murdering character!!! They BOTH are extremely CREEPY n Creative!!! Also, Elmer us a total hoot!!!
Cool old movie so far, but my favorite part is when Peter Fortune says that Sanchy is "hard to describe". Okay and exactly how is a hunchback hard to describe???
C'mon, Mantan Moreland was there just to be Politically Correct. He and his partner Ben Carter had a sensational act by themselves, but Moreland was too often put in the cast as the 'token', which wasn't right.
The skulking gunman in the opening scene is a(n?) historical antecedent to the fake-Legosi in Plan IX From Outer Space. Proving AGAIN, Ed Wood was The Master!
What a bunch of great actors, he said facetiously. I remember June Collyer from the Stu Erwin show, an awful tv show in the 50's in the days when, for the most part, situation comedies were no better than they are today, said the misanthrope. Save for I love Lucy and Our Miss Brooks and Sgt.Bilko and certainly Sid Ceaser. Anyway, this of course a silly bit of nothing; I'm just trying to fall asleep. zzzzz.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What a stinker. I saw the two leads as a young married couple in a film called "Extravagance" and, even though it's not much better than this one, it is actually better and a lot of fun to watch. If these two leads, who were attractive, had a smidgen more talent, maybe they could have transitioned to better films. Still, it's always fun to watch these sometimes deservedly obscure movies.
So, she published an article saying she'd seen the killer's face to lure him out in the open, and she doesn't have police protection why? As for the plot, it's okay, though with standard issue annoying, idiot comic relief.
