Watch The Second Woman (1950) Full Movie on The Film Detective. James V. Kern went on to direct some of the top television shows of the 1950s and ‘60s, but not before directing this taught suspense tale. In the tradition of Hitchcock classics like Spellbound and Rebecca, this movie centers around a woman (Betsy Drake) who finds herself involved with a mysterious man (Robert Young) who may or may not be in grave danger. Filmed in Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey CA, with cinematography by twotime Oscar winner Hal Mohr (The Phantom of the Opera, A Midsummer Night’s Dream), this is a lush piece of forgotten cinema begging to be rediscovered...
Director: James V. Kern
Writers: Mort Briskin, Robert Smith
Starring: Robert Young, Betsy Drake, John Sutton, Florence Bates, Morris Carnovsky

When comparing today's movies with those of yesteryear, there is ONE distinct difference: A prerequisite in "B & W Days" was --- having the ability and talent to --- make acting a craft! Alas, today very few are worthy of an award from any academy, or any degree of merit or applause from their public.

@roberthagedorn290 3 года назад

What a wonderful film noir! I never heard of this film until I accidentally stumbled upon it here. This is the best film I've seen in a long time. Yes, thank you so much for posting.

@annabellaemm260 3 года назад

I stumbled upon it, as well. It is a hidden gem. And Florence Bates is one of my favorite character actresses. She had an amazing life: mathematics degree, then the first woman lawyer in Texas, traveled extensively to buy for the antiques shop she and her sister inherited from her parents and, last but not least, her film career.

One of my favorite Noir films, I won’t spoil the ending for anyone but I’ll just say that if you, like me, are a younger person or are used to watching modern films with similar plots, you will probably be surprised and kept on the edge of your seat by this one, like I was on my first viewing. It’s a great film and I would totally recommend to any fans of Film Noir :)

I got my love of film from my father, as well. I'd wait up for him and we'd watch the late show. He would tell me a bit about each actor. If you've never seen Woman in a Dressing Gown (hard to find, a British film (1957) with Yvonne Mitchell, Anthony Quayle, Silvia Syms, I think you will like it based on your comment.

@@annabellaemm260 ... This one, at first glance, will seem as an odd suggestion to both of you - Ice-Cold in Alex, 1958. ... On paper, it is a war film (and my all-time favorite war film!), but only on paper. There are truly only 4 characters in it - John Mills, Sylvia Syms, Anthony Quayle, and Harry Andrews. ... It is a wonderful, 'cozy under the bed covers', 5-day solitary trek through the Sahara desert in an ambulance-truck, and an endearing journey of growth in friendships - with the ambulance-truck, as the fifth key player, acting as a cozy and safe raft floating on a shoppy sea of sand and desolation.

For those who are interested, the filming location is Pebble Beach, CA, about 100 miles south of San Francisco on the Monterey Peninsula adjacent to Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. "12 Mile Drive" is actually called "The 17-Mile Drive". Other movies filmed or partially filmed in Pebble Beach include "Play Misty for Me" (Clint Eastwood) and "My Favorite Brunette" (Bob Hope).

Betsy Drake. She was married to Cary Grant for a good while, wasn't she ? And Robert Young, an under appreciated fine journeyman actor. They really had a plethora of them in those days and earlier, one good picture after another. So much antipathy written about the old "studio system" but nothing now compares to the quality those old "despots" produced out of it and I'm grateful.

it's impossible to get Father Knows Best out of my mind. Robert Young was my TV-substitute for the dad who was not around. But otherwise I'm sure he's versatile and adept; it's a great film with all the Kern touches. Complete with the snatches of Brahms' Fourth? How these old movies bring back the escape tactics of fifty years ago! Who else used to sneak off to the film nook on the lower East Side, East 7th street or so, a few doors down from the fantastic Indian Restaurant in NYC to watch Cukor movies ???

I wish Ms Blake had made more movies. She came from a privileged background, her Father built the famous Drake hotel in Chicago. She was married to Cary Grant for 13yr. Survived the Andrea Doria shipwreck. After her film career she got her psychology Masters degree from Harvard & became a childrens therapist. She never married again and died at 92 in 2015. My favorite movie of hers is 'Every Girl Should be Married' with Grant. Yes, it's silly and dated but she is adorable in it, and Grant is...well Cary Grant!

Could have been "excellent", if it wasn't such a partly hidden commercial for British American Tobacco. Now it's only "very good"

@davidbondehagen1616 3 года назад

The American Tobacco Company must have paid the studio plenty for the constant depiction of smoking in this movie. I realize that smoking was more prevalent in this era (one reason for this being the romanticization of smoking in movies), but the people in this movie seemed to be unable to breathe anything but tobacco smoke

@shadowlouise 2 года назад

I didn't even notice. In movies and TV there was always smoking and drinking, so it was perfectly normal to see it here. I'm thinking of Bette Davis, in every one of her old films, but especially "Now, Voyager;" the cigarettes were very much part of that romance. And that is another thing that has changed in my lifetime (in addition to drunk driving laws).

"Second woman" does not refer to a mistress... if you watched the movie you would see this. It is in reference to the second woman in the main character's life...after Robert Young's character's (Jeff's) bride (first woman) died, the next woman, the one in the movie, is the second woman in Jeff's life.

His fate wasn't important to this story. We can assume he drove drunk one night and killed himself. What would you expect to happen here? If Jeff had gone to the police or DA a year after the accident, how likely would it be that the "killer" would be convicted. And with zero evidence? The laws have changed during my lifetime; up until about 50 years ago, the law tended to be lenient with drunk drivers. A drunk driver could get away with killing, because it was an accident. The driver didn't mean to kill anyone. And Jeff suffered in silence to protect Ben (Vivian's father), but also he didn't want to destroy her reputation by revealing she was a tramp.
