Arson Inc. (1949) | Crime | Film Noir | Robert Lowery | Full Movie 

As a battalion chief with the Dallas Fire Department for over 25 years, I really enjoyed the stock footage of Fire Departments in action way back in the forties. Back then, the guys entered and fought fires w/o the advantage of air tanks and other innovations that came much later and continue today. One can't imagine how unpleasant and dangerous entering a smoke filled warehouse or even a normal size residence was until you actually try it. Those men were tough and brave, but many paid the price years later. Actually, the compressed air tanks didn't really come into wide use until the late 50s. Some Departments even later than that! Add all the other improvements over the years from the apparatuses to the protective clothing, etc, and, with COMPETENT incident commanders, the dangers from fighting fires is now almost nonexistent. Thanks for uploading this entertaining film! 🚒

The first 5 years after WWII were largely these kinds of pulp noir movies, light on the eyes and mind. Just right for a western world audience coming out of wartime restrictions, rations, and some such... Then, in the 60s, were added the cold war espionage thrillers.

Feel kind of sorry for Mr. Payson, getting involved with crooks because of his gambling debts. Good film - thanks for posting.

Anne Gwynne's daughter Gwynne Gilford married actor Robert Pine and their son is actor Chris Pine.

Excellent, thanks for sharing. Ron PTL USA

Very surprised Joe Friday or even Columbo weren't called in to assist.

Thanks for sharing!

It's the lies. They tend to lie.

Why did everyone climb in and out of the passenger door back then?! In every movie of the 3 dozen plus I've made my way thru...😂

16:54 must be a fast runner. Kinda funny how a guy on foot knows exactly where and when a man in a car will be.

The narrator says, "The portfolio, which is as much a part of Bob as his right arm..." except the portfolio was taken from his LEFT arm!

pete stole the show hands down and the fire chief wasnt bad the rest were bad for anyone with low b.p😅
