Slightly Scarlet (1954) Film Noir | John Payne, Rhonda Fleming | Full Technicolor Movie 

I disagree with your premise, but that's OK. Payne was a great screen actor and had the necessary skills to take on any kind of role. Noir thrillers, westerns, adventures, musicals. Nothing was outside his scope. I'm a big fan of his.

You go girl ... (75)👍

The younger sister was mentaly unstable. She didn't manipulate anyone on purpose. She was an ill human being, who needed care. Rhonda Flemming was indeed very beautiful, but she had corected her nose by having undergone an aesthetic surgery. Arlene Dahl's beauty on the other hand was genuine.

I enjoyed reading your comment .. Thanks for posting...btw unlike you, I've not seen this one yet, so im looking forward to watching it now...

Same opinion as yours about Rhonda Fleming. Her voice was quite lovely also. This movie wonderfully showcases Rhonda's beauty. I'm 76, and my reaction to her has always been undiminished from my sensational first impression of her when I was 9 years old. RF was never a diva, always polite and respectful to crew and office workers. Because of her stalwart support of the Republican Party from the 1940's on, her death elicited negligible notice from the wokish media. Like everything else delightfully done to excess in the ''Fabulous 50's'', there was the overly gorgeous, but in no way conceited, Rhonda Fleming, the ''Queen of Technicolor'', to dazzle imaginations. Thank goodness for You Tube channels like this one and Turner Classic Movies for providing more Rhonda Fleming movies for fan viewing and discovery by younger audiences. Richard G.

Yes, Rhonda had plastic surgery, but it was almost magical in its perfecting effect for her face. The leading cinematographers in Hollywood made a bet to see who could take a picture of RF that would reveal one side of her that wasn't as beautiful as the rest of her. RF graciously agreed to pose for those top film pros who found out that no matter from which angle they photographed her, her radiant, roseate loveliness was uniformly apex in every aspect and feature. No one won that foolish bet! I believe the plastic surgeon who had Rhonda Fleming for his patient, also crafted Marilyn Monroe's nose superbly. For both icons, plastic surgery was a nearly a natural fit, judging from the extremely successful results. Richard G.

I am curious about the car with the fins at 43:52 . It looks like they are not part of the body panel, but added on. I was wondering if those were the first use of fins on a car. Also if the car was available without them, and you paid extra to get the fins.

@@jimkocherful The first car to come out with fins was the '49 cadillac , and they where referred to as "fish tails". It set a styling trend that many tried to copy, at first by putting chrome caps on the end of the rear fenders . The car you refer to is the "55 Chrysler and the "fins" are tacked on tail lamps.. meant to raise the rear profile of the car and as a preview of what was to come because in 1956 chrysler corp added real tail fins incorporated into the rear quarter panels of all their cars starting the industry wide trend which peaked in 1959

Okay, I never heard of her.

The end

Actually, Fleming wanted Noel Coward to play Bond.

Payne he can play both characters bad boy and clean cut good guy

I second that.

Great insightful commentary.

There is no such thing as a "G"odess. You must mean "godess".

And they were mostly filterless ones at that.

And tossed them where ever they wanted.

​@@fuzzfacelogic789Same as today. People smoke even when there's a sign that says "No Smoking". They have a hissy fit.

The tobacco companies paid the studios to show actors using their product.

Thanks for your comments. This movie was produced by Benedict Bogeaus and only distributed by RKO. Bogeaus retained all rights; there are lots more on this channel for you to enjoy!

I feel that way about commercials but have no say in how many RU-vid inserts into our movies. Keep in mind that we have to pay to license the movies and they only way we can afford is by depending on ad revenue, or pennies from RU-vid Premium. Personally, I subscribed to RU-vid Premium ($12.99/month), which allows me to everything on RU-vid without commercials. Ad blockers = no revenue = no channel, so please subscribe and give us another try.

Yes, they made some! Leave Her to Heaven and Desert Fury are two good ones.

I'd rather have a movie like the ones from my day, than to watch the ones of today where every other word is that "f" word and xes . We weren't perfect back then, but we had class.

Chuck Norris does that all the time

Only when the script requires it.
