David Harding Counterspy (1950) | Film Noir/Crime Movie 

Love these old low budget spy movies. All acting and great plot.

Ok, this is a really good watch. Never heard of it before and took a chance and would watch it again. They packed a lot into those 70 minutes.

It's interesting to see the infra-red scope technology of the day used in the film.

Great film! Thank you for posting!

At about 12:20, the narration says that every day lost at the torpedo factory was a feather in Hitler's war bonnet. Up to this point, the movie had been talking about the Pacific Campaign. I think that the line should have mentioned Japan instead of Hitler. Oh well, I suppose it's too late to get my thoughts to the writers...lol..!! At 24:20, the lip reader is none other than the Western star and famous stunt man, Jock Mahoney. Thanks, Sprocket Vault, for this movie.

Effective B-movie spy thriller, well handled with a twist in the middle for a change! Enjoyed it.

@30:27 best hallway cross-up I've seen in a long-time. Great military precision!

Hats and caps off! To a day when we actually honored the military instead of acting as if it was our enemy!

This was a very good movie! Thank you...🇺🇸 😎👍☕

Great movie and my favorite type. THANKS A BUNCH .

Being an "nut" about Old Time Radio, I had listened to the "David Harding Counterspy" radio shows so this movie (made the year before I was born) is extra interesting. I still have memories as a very small boy sitting in our living room with my brother and my parents listening to the national radio shows (i.e. Jack Benny, Lux Radio Theater, etc.) since we did not get a television set until the late 1950s

whoever wrote this dialogue is funny. I like this main character guy.

Willard Parker starred on tv as Ranger Jace Pearson in "Tales of the Texas Rangers", a 50s series.

Great flick TSV and good pick by you.

Poor Edwards, you were never meant to be a spy, you should have chosen a different job!! You didn't only fail miserably, to follow others unoticed, you also got beaten too much!

We don't initial the "s" in "Uncle Sam" as we do in "stupidity " lol, great line.

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent film

Filmes clásicos de este tipo siempre fueron mis predilectos por el juego sicológico en privar en ellos que siempre lo tenían a uno en suspenso hasta lo último. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.

The waiting is the hardest part...Tom Petty agrees🎸🎶🎤

John Dehner is in this film in a small role. Twenty-four years later he would play Dean Acheson in "The Missiles of October" about the 1962 Cuban nuclear missile crisis in the JFK administration. The actor playing the factory doctor had quite a range to cover in his role. First the kindly doctor, then......

though i didn't like the ending plus it felt rushed on/tacked on to finish it i enjoyed the rest, thank you for posting it i watched it's sequel which can be found really easy on you tube but this one no place had online at all until now so i thank you

Good movie. Thanks.

Great flick!

Beautiful eye contact

Ah, the '50s...... When you could strike a match anywhere.

Just luved the line " state side " when America ruled the world

I like this. Creative story.

Great film, thank you.

@ 6:41, that fire hydrant is pretty well closed in!

When dictating a letter, he needs to sign it LIEUTENANT Commander, not Commander, which is a rank above his.

Agree with Mr. Yerdon’s comment.

This is NOT just movie, but excellent instructional spy program for our adversaries, n in my opinion, there is NOT doubt whatsoever KGB or back cold war era, ENTIRE Soviet agents learned. It is excellent tool revealing n exposing HOW we operate, TOO good for our adversities to know about how secrete agent department operate 2 catch domestic spies. Movie like this is mixed beg, entertain but also showing our enemies how they can catch their spies working 4 us!

A great example of an intelligence officer thinking with what's between his legs rather than with his brain.

THIS GUY WAS THE FATHER OF BOND

A ripping yarn. Thanks.

By god! With the closing line of this movie, I HAD to salute the flag!!! 🇺🇸

Can u add lots of Roger Corman movies

It looked to me like he was lighting a cigarette. It didn't look like a Hearing Aid problem, or a crook in his neck.

Two interesting points about male psychology in movies and TV shows from the 40s and 50s. (1) It was possible for a man to have a "best friend," which seems to be no longer the case. (2) The ideal man is more "disagreeable" than most men are; a "tough guy"--no wonder his "best friend' is dead.

1:24 toke, toke it up man!!!

@ 43:20 The good doctor gave that lady quite a dose of medicine!

I believe the announcer was Mr. K. V. Kaltenborn.

read the Verona papers.

@25:47 "Parsons? Get a hold of that prescription, substitute it for knockout drops" Damn, those old g-men didn't fuck around!!

Good movie did not insult intelligence.

54:40 they guy impersonating Hopkins was in a Hogans Heroes episode. He played a General who forgets people's name. Like Colonel Fink, Colonew Grogen.

1:10 Three men in trench coats walking 10 feet behind each other in a deserted street at night without noticing each other.

Correction , 1950 film.

Good film

I wonder if at the time, FBI was really housed in mansion like that...

Rate 5.9 Noir Spy

Good

So many trenchcoats!

10:40 Her hat was re-used in The Flying Nun.

18:22 so you're gonna complain about low alcohol, but only take a sip? talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!

The Navy sentry's rifle is a Springfield which has not been used since World War One. The movie ends with "we don't initially yes an Uncle Sam the same as we do with stupidity" ???

What?! So Betty is gonna be executed as a spy? 😂

The ironic thing is that this when the Cambridge five were doing their best work for the KGB

31:34… She’s the spy??!!

1953 movie

I agree, but we have no control over this. My suggestion is you subscribe to RU-vid Premium. Sure, it costs $11.99/month, with 30-day free trial, but it eliminates commercials altogether, and gives other perks. I watch a lot of RU-vid; the commercials annoyed me, too, so I signed up for Premium and it is worth every penny.

David Harding, Counterspy (1950) Based on the long-running radio program created by Philips H. Lord, the film opens with a radio commentator blasting the U. S. government for the manner in which a certain foreign power has obtained secret information during WWII. The commentator is brought to the secret headquarters of "David Harding, Counterspy" where he learns that the story was deliberately planted with the commentator to fool the enemy. Harding them tells, in flashback, a specific story to illustrate how counter-espionage works. Jerry Baldwin, a U.S. Navy officer is brought to a city where torpedoes are manufactured for the Navy, and his assignment is to find out information is leaking out to the enemy. - imdb

Jock Mahoney has a small role @1:03:26.

Why will haven’t colored version?

Kya hua, yaar?

Brutally honest reveal of what the post-WW2 Cold War propaganda was all about, and this did start by that time. We were far better off than we are now, given the total violation of our Constitutional rights under the Patriot Act. This film is most instructive, just the same

🤩🤩💖

Jock Mahoney

IM 10 MINS IN AND ILL BET ITS THE WIFE WHOS THE SPY

Why the thumbnail in colour! Clickbaith

I'd give this a C...hoaky acting

That hat is ridiculous

The only thing worse than this are the ads every 5 minutes. Bye bye.

Awesome film. We should have such priorities today. Our country is falling apart and our administration is taking it there. We are selling our country out.

I am not sre what spy agency that was but they sure abused folk's human rights. Knocking someone out with pills to determine if his hearing aid was a camera? Otherwise entertaining.

Cute❤

Return from other narang 3-3 times per 3 sons from 1369 Residence for Aditya Misra Alok Misra at 1369 A. Residence. Mr Mrs UNPandey family. Spot that difference and Reimburse 33 × 33 times all financial amenities and cash

BOO !! HISS !! 😡 !! In mid-stream this plot FLIPS to rank-anateurish !! What a gross disappointment !!

Film Propagnda = Mind Control / Social Engineering. Propaganda films spread and promote certain ideas that are usually religious, political, or cultural in nature.

Not as good as the OTR show was, but not terrible for what it is. The framing device is pointless and awkward, but the show did that sometimes too. The ending's no more abrupt than many films of its ilk despite the complaints in the comments. Audience tastes have just changed in that regard, and not necessarily for the better. IMO too many modern films end with a twenty minute orgy of violence rather than the thirty seconds here. Usual tediously all-white main cast and male-dominated but that's to be expected in this era. At least it's light on the racist twaddle and Long's character has some autonomy, albeit not much and all focused on a relationship with a man. 43:20 Oh FFS, the only appropriate response to that hit would be for her to laugh, knee him in the balls and tell him he hits like a wimp while he's curled up in a ball crying. You couldn't knock out a toddler with that punch, much less an adult woman. Not even trying to make that look real.

I get irritated when I see utter stupidity in some of these movies. Will forgo the obvious exs. so no 'official' spoilers.😖

Now our own government is the culprit

back when women actually were held to account, unlike in todays' new world order where women never ever do anything that could be remotely misconstrued as nefarious.

Movie is a dud!

To many commercials and ads. Cannot keep watching with all the interpretation . BYE BYE 👋
