I don't watch the movies of today because the oldies are absolutely the BEST..I love everything about them especially that they there's no vulgarity that you find in almost all movies of today. I've loved them since I was a kid. These movies can be watched by any age. Keep them coming Pizza Flix. I live the variety. You're number one by a long shot👍👍👍
There is nothing more comforting when you have a winter cold, than curling up with a hot drink and watching good old English made black & white films. 📽️
I love all these amazing films, fantastic actors, stunning scripts, no foul language, no cgi, no violence, just a brilliant film. I do not understand why these days we put these actors on pedestals?? They can’t act, they rely on photo shots, plastic surgery, and cgi. Thank you, thank you, thank you for downloading these wonderful films 💓
The ending makes this a very splendid story. Turhan Bey was a quite popular actor at the time and played in many movies. Thank you for this wonderful movie!
Nice to see former cast members from the movie " Pride and Prejudice" in this movie ❤️💙😍. Great performance by them all, Heather Angel, Frieda Inescort, and Bruce Lester, also Frieda and Bruce team up in the movie " The Letter " with Bette Davis and Herbert Marshall.
One of the actresses in this film, Heather Angel, is perhaps best-known for her portrayal of British nanny "Miss Faversham" in the television series "Family Affair." That character was usually seen in scenes of that TV series wherein the "Davis" twins ("Buffy" & "Jody," portrayed, respectively, by Anissa Jones & Johnny Whitaker)) were accompanied on their daily outings to the park (presumably New York's Central Park) by gentleman's gentleman "Giles French" (and, for a brief period during the illness of Cabot, by John Williams as "Nigel French"), as portrayed by Sebastian Cabot. The "Misters French" were, effectively, male nannies to the "Davis" children, in addition to their cook and valet roles for bachelor "William Davis" (Brian Keith), who presided over his own civil engineering business. The scenes with Miss Angel as "Miss Faversham" were usually in the park when she and the other nannies of children, (including whichever "Mr. French") would be seated on a park bench as their respective charges played, "Faversham" and "French" generally chatting away amiably. Though never completely realized to fruition, there had always been a hint of romance between "Giles French" and "Miss Faversham," the latter who also resided for a time with her employing family in the same building as the "Davis" family. Many years after her death, the New York-based alternative rock band Sonic Youth recorded a tribute song to Heather Angel, who had also been a film star in mysteries (including the lead role in the original "The Hound of the Baskervilles," Alfred Hitchcock's "Lifeboat," and some of the "Bulldog Drummond" and "Charlie Chan" detective series') during the 1930s and '40s. There was also a sad footnote to Miss Angel's career, when she witnessed the stabbing death (by a deranged UCLA - Santa Barbara graduate student) of her third husband, film & stage director Robert Sinclair, in their California home in 1970.
Perhaps what is "true of American audiences and younger ones?" By the way, I mentioned the "Bulldog Drummond" series (your stated favorites of Heather Angel's roles) in my original post, as well Miss Angel's roles in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1931, the first, British version) and "Lifeboat" (1944, directed by Alfred Hitchcock), all high-profile films but one ("Baskervilles") of which were produced by film companies based in the United States of America. So whatever your implication about "American audiences" should take that into account. As for "younger ones," I am not sure your implication there either. By inference, I take you are considering anyone born after the initial releases of the "Drummond" films to be "younger," and that you were born at such a time as to have been cognizant of the "Drummond' films when such were newly-released features in cinemas, meaning you were at least a child in the 1940s (and about 75 years of age now). If that is not the case, you are also part of the "younger ones" who would only know of the "Drummond' films from the perspective of hindsight, meaning you first watched them on either television or as home video re-releases. If there was any major oversight in my previous post about Miss Angel, it is my neglect to mention she was the voice of "Mary Darling" in Walt Disney's "Peter Pan" (1953), which would be a major point in any actor or actress' film biography, as Disney films then were a worldwide phenomena. I should also have mentioned Miss Angel portrayed a recurring character (1964-65) in the ABC prime-time soap opera "Peyton Place," based on the novel by Grace Metalious, the series effectively launched the careers of actress Mia Farrow and actor Ryan O'Neal. Miss Angel also portrayed Margaret Gates Wallace, mother in-law of President Harry S. Truman, in the 1979 NBC television mini-series "Backstairs at the White House." It was the final role of Miss Angel, also her last high-profile role, since Miss Angel's final cinematic releases ("Gone with the West" and "Premature Burial") were not widely seen; "West" never distributed in theaters, "Burial" an American International Picture (AIP) release directed by cult auteur Roger Corman and seen mainly in drive-in and smaller cinematic venues.
Which character did Ms Angel play in "Premature Burial"? Was it the "sister"? I have watched most all of the old AI movies with Price, Rathbone, Lorre in them. I do remember "Mrs Faversham" as I was a pre-teen during FA's run.
I actually didn't think I would like this at first but it turned out to be a very fun movie. It went by so quickly and before I knew it, it was over. I really liked the ending.
Turhan Bey as Ram Singh and Miles Mander as Tom Armitage. Mander was a man of many talents - character actor, also a film director and producer, and a playwright and novelist. His first wife was Pratibha Devi, a princess of Cooch Behar. She was the daughter of Maharaja Nripendra Narayanand Maharani Suniti Devi of Cooch Behar and paternal aunt of Gayatri Devi, Maharani of Jaipur. Turhan Bey was an Austrian-born actor of Turkish and Czech-Jewish origins. Turhan was active in Hollywood from 1941 to 1953. He was dubbed "The Turkish Delight" by his fans.
This movie was quite fun. Took a while to get into the swing of things and realise that this was a comedy,and at the end to realise, uh, well I won't spoil it for you!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I was going to watch an old film one evening, all set with my cup of tea and muffin (lol!) and my eyes just glanced at the VERY FIRST LINE OF THE VERY FIRST COMMENT.......a woman actually TOLD WHO THE MURDERER WAS AND SAID “I was so surprised that it was (name of murderer)!!!! 🤬😡🤯😳 ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Had to find another flick.......it’s fairly easy on you tube! But Geeze ya know?!? God bless and keep you free from harm, in Jesus’s Name.....AMEN! 🕊💖✝️✡️🙏🙋♀️🌟
Several years ago I saw a show on TV called "Bullfrog Crummond". It was very funny. Part of it was presented in a stage play format, we the viewers are at the very back of the stage looking out to the audience. I've tried to find it but no luck so far. I remember I really enjoyed it.
Her mother told her what??? Not to play with Gypsys...in the woods...she shouldn't be playing in the woods at all!!! Has she not heard of a werewolf, a vampire, or Jason Vorheys 😂😂😂
YOLANDA JONES, WHAT ABOUT THAT BOUNCE BEFORE HE LAID FLAT. THAT WAS SOME FALL & BOUNCE. REWIND IT 3 TIMES TO WATCH HIM FALL DOWN THOSE STAIRS. WONDER IF GOT PAID EXTRA FOR THAT ?
BLOOPER! The stair's railing had just been demolished when Bromilow & Singh crashed through it, but when that injured guy fell down the stairs, the railing was intact.
Omg, the ending ... I never saw that coming ... took me by total surprise ... talk about a bad nightmare of a dream ... had me laughing ... great ending!
Peter Goddard You are so right! I watched modern movies like Ladybird, Alone (2020 - the one about a woman kidnapped by a man), Shape of Water, American Hustle, A Star is Born, La La Land, Star Wars franchise and all those Superheroes movies, and felt cheated or lulled to sleep. I end up wanting to rewatch Gone w the wind, Lady Vanishes, Top Hat, Sound of Music, All About Eve for the 100th time!
Great film thanks for the upload and you just got a new subscriber because of it to,,lol..i do love these old black and white films you just dont get real quality like this anymore..
Interesting movie with a great cast, but very confusing. It takes forever to spell out the plot. In fact, we don't know until practically the end what the story is about.
She didn't care whose fault it was, she was tired of the maid's insolence and she will be out the following morning - maybe that extra night inside is why the maid is bothering to p.u. the broken dishes. Of course the lowly servant couldn't specifically mention the man's name because he was her better.
