I'll Get You (1952) | Film Noir | George Raft | Full movie 

I am a massive James Cagney fan myself.

Humphrey Bogart?

Hi

Humphrey Bogart lacked charisma n cldnt dance ​@@totallyfrozen

You're welcome!

Yes. I've seen a few of Mr. Raft's gangster films before this. I looked him up on IMDB, and he was a dancer, which helps understand how he carried himself so smoothly.

@@dougcase7545 I believe I saw him on YT dancing the Tango! The man knew how to be very “steamy “ !😉 He really was an extremely good dancer. His foot work is to be admired as opposed to me with two left feet!!! 😉

And his dancing!

He got his start dancing in Speakeasy's during prohibition. Another interesting fact about him is that he couldn't read, at least when he started in movies. Don't know if he ever learned to or not. There was a movie made about his life.

​​@Snitch-Cardian just watched that scene. Great dancer, appreciating the subtleties involved in a tango soon tossing her in circles like he was slinging water off washed celery the next, BRUTAL!

i agree

@@onlythewise1 I disagree

@@PeterPete not

You're welcome, and thanks for writing!

Yeah! YT its good for watching classic old movies, l agree, at least it serves our interests as well but for the rest...Blessings to you too for eternity.

....✌️💖🥂

That's nice .

the name was Cagney not Gagney

He turned down films that Bogie took.

I'd have like to see George portray a mobster. Like Dutch Schultz or Waxy Gordon....bet he would have found another level as a straight-up, non-Italian killer black-market businessman.

Wow. Just read he turned down THREE roles Bogart took and ran with....had a good agent, maybe low self-esteem or delusions of something else, maybe he didn't wanna go in a particular Hollywood direction with Satan....The worlds overdue for some old school could-have-been tell-alls. Hollywood is a corporate cesspool of legal gangsters now, and any films that are not big studio biopics suck ASSSSSSS!

You know he's dead, right? You mean you wish he _had made_ more movies.

​​@Cracktaculus raft played plenty of mobster/gangster roles in his early career Edit: a couple of great performances are in the original "scarface", and his vignette as a forger in "if I had a million", both well worth watching if you enjoy 1930s talkies

you also noticed the Volga Boatmen music quotes! wow

The scenes at the start were also actually filmed in the locations they claimed to be ... Berlin, London and the USA are totally different in their architecture, from the houses down to the roads.

Me too. Interesting movie, good solid plot. Hold my attention. Very good acting from everyone. Yes, it's a B-Movie with (presumably) tight budget, but the result came out well. The camera work and photography is very well done 👌 I liked watching this Film 🙂

You bet!

My mother loved George Raft and always commented on his dancing. He was a dancer before becoming an actor and oh those bedroom eyes.

I think he was a dancer and knew how to move.

George was a Taxi dancer for hire. Women would buy a ticket and George would dance with them. Cagney was a Taxi dancer too. George also had a dance routine he learned in Harlem at the Cotton Club. He would do a shim sham routine for the troops in the rain in WW2 anywhere he could fit a stage. Anything to entertain the troops. George is also credited with bringing the Rumba to the United States and was featured in a movie dancing it with Carole Lombard, the future Mrs. Clark Gable.

Why "hidden"? It has over a half million views.

...and thanks for watching!

Lorre is a strange choice for comparison, I'd suggest someone like Cagney who in addition to being of shorter stature, was also a dancer and leading man like Raft... Lorre wasn't really either , as much as I enjoy his work.

and not all black+white movies are film noir, which also seems to be a misconception.

I'm impressed.

Blah blah blah

Real low key for counterintelligence work. Probably a manual transmission (she keeps insisting Raft drives).

@@davidyancey2807 no it was the times the lady always asked the guy to drive or expected them to do that same as walking on the curb side of the sidewalk and leading in a dance among other things we don't do today

Wow that's pretty good I hope you didn't use google search or Suri ect, I remember when I was younger and afew of us would pitch in for gas it was like one person would have .86 cents, another 1.25$ and the other anywhere from. 30cents to a buck &a half and we would go cruising most of the night, we would check out the prostitutes hay we were young and curious but we never hassle them then to the edge of the city, portage avenue it was dead on Sunday night we would instigate street racing we did pretty good considering it was stock we pulled beside a decked out car racing tires fancy paint job mostly flames of course so you pull up while driving rev it up a few times ours was automatic so you drop in those two low gears not many used if at all. Then stomp on it make alot of noise but didn't speed ahead much make them think ours was not running well or just sucked anyway there I go again rambling I wasn't much of a car person but the others going down the highway so no street lights the car in front of you was just tale lights and they knew what kind and what year it was just from tale light that really impressed me try to do any. Of that now for get it. Especially the gas part all together like five bucks or so give or take three $ that was late eighties

I cannot turn off the trivial mind. It gleans where it will.

I was thinking the same thing. He was around the same height as Alan Ladd. 5 ft. 7.

@@CC-Tron Yes. I always wondered why it was made into a big thing about Alaln Ladd being short when

@@CC-Tron Yes. I always wondered why it was made into a big thing about Alan Ladd being short when many Hollywood stars were (and still are) as short or even shorter.

@@henrybyrd5402 It probably had something to do with the heights of the women he co-starred with. I think one of them said that he had to stand on boxes. That's probably how it started.

George was listed as 5'7 and he recalled he once went to the steam room with Bogart and notice that Bogey who was listed as 5'8 was a little shorter than him. But once they were dressed Bogey was an inch taller in street clothes.

Yeah fake cold war!

What a striking woman Ms Laffan was, too. It's good to know she made old bones... she died in 2014 at 94 yo.

She was also in Hidden homicide.Lovely nose and eyes!

Pompea from Quo Vadis what a striking profile she had Patricia Laffan.

Think “Dragnet”.

Wasn't he a mobster or a once mobster ? Maybe that gave him some leverage to get movie roles 🤔 He wasn't one of my favourite old time actors , that's for sure . Cagney could out act him with eyes closed .....👌🇬🇧

@@keithawhosoever5384 Oh Cagney could act as wooden as they come some spy film from 1948 or 49 he was as wooden as a red injun. Without the ´dirty rat´ business he was wooden to me but l liked him just the same.

earlwest3502, George Raft had a very particular "stiff" style of acting. But many successful years in the biz! Some reasons for his popularity were those same kinds of roles he played, cool, entertaining. Audiences loved him. Not to mention his eyes, voice and the Hot dance moves! His reputation towards women was one of respect And skilful seduction. Odd, but true! 😁

Go a Waye

Just remember, in those days it was difficult to do things quickly as we do them today. Just making a phone call you had to dial it 7 times and wait for the dial to return to get your number. For me, the slowness enhances the suspense.

@@gopherstate777 👍

Sally Gray Green for danger.Once seen,never forgotten.

It was only 7 years after WW2, and still the British age of coal. Homes and apartments were heated with it, electricity was generated with it, even the cooking gas was made from it. Between the war bombing, the national debt from the war, and coal there was plenty of "dirty", and not much dough to mitigate it

I thought the same thing about Raft at first but have grown to appreciate him much more over time. Like Mitchum, he had a pretty laid-back and laconic delivery of his lines. Maybe that's why you call him a one-trick pony. As for turning down roles, I think it's easier to say that now than it was at the time. Predicting what is good at any moment is as hard then as it is today.

@@susanfaulkner2304 Yes, that's one of my favorite films, They Drive by Night.

Not really. Daddy issues. Plus older usually means financial security.

obviously, you have no experience of real life

@@helloxyz ha ha,yes I. Have been sheltered : )

@@sarahholland2600 true true

Raft looked worn and his acting: wooden. I couldn't help but picture contemporaries in his role.

Before they killed Christ they casted lots for his garments. The tree of life has no leaves. Why cover something sacred especially when the clothes will go out of style in less than 10 years. War, human trafficking, murder etc.... WTF put on a suit for such filth? Clothes are what tipped you off that there's moral decay? I won't bother you further sir, but I refuse to bathe today. We live in a sty. Add an L and E if you want this world is a corpse.

I don't miss the shoes. High heels!

It started with unisex dressing...then, casual wear, everywhere

@@islanderbyrd1881 they fidntvall wear high heels..they wore lower heels, and also dancing shoes with front strap

I agree so I just dress up. I don't mind if I am the only one because I do appreciate it. Hope you will dress up too. LoL. Take care.

It hasn't been the same, since the old guard died in the 90s anyway
