Tough Assignment (1949) Crime Drama | Don Barry, Marjorie Steele, Steve Brodie 

LOL. I totally disagree. He plays the same kind of superfluous character in almost all of them. I've never laughed once at any of his roles. I don't think he's the least bit funny or even necessary in anything in which I can remember seeing him. I always thought he must have had something on someone or was someone's brother-in-law.

The first time I saw Sid was in a movie called Hijacked. I saw it with my Mom when I was a kid He kept begging the boss to let him use a gun. When he finally got it he got shot and killed. Not knowing his name my Mom and I always called him "first gun " everytime we saw him in a movie. It was a long time before I learned his name. Lol. I always enjoyed his work.

disagree. I think he is annoying

I just can't make up my mind either way! 👈

Not a bad actor, but not really a dynamic character in any role.

His wife!

Melton was a considerable talent ... Green Acres especially

The producer’s wife’s family forced him to hire their hapless relative.

I cannot stand him as he always plays the goofy fool for comedic effect. He plays this exact same role in movie after movie. I had to stop watching halfway through. He must have had some very good friends keeping him busy in Hollywood back then. Granted, we all have our own opinions and our own likes & dislikes, but this role he plays is quite tiresome for many of us. Edit: Actually, I would like to see how he would have performed in a profoundly serious role. Who knows? He might have been a considerable talent who got stuck in a slot that he didn't even want.

I think it's a Chevy. Man those horns are wild.

The bad guys are driving a Buick convertible. Either a 46,47 or 48. My Dad had a 46 Buick Roadmaster.

@@billhowes7937 Yeah, I was pretty sure that was what it was.

On second thought the reporter's car may be a Buick from 40 or 41.

It's a 1986 Stanley Steamer.

Have you never heard of "Ad Block for RU-vid"? Works!

Journalism dead? Not to worry. The present administration will tell you everything you're ALLOWED to know.

get a ad blocker

We have to run ads in order to pay the license fees to make the movies available, but they are supposed to be spaced out. I just looked at the movie and there was a commercial at the very beginning and no others, which doesn't make sense. Please let me know if you encounter too many commercials on any of our other movies.

The commercials were very quick,hardly noticed

The commercials are the reason l watch... they re educational

@@jimcrawford3185 ok thanx

eggs haven’t been 55 cents for 30 plus years take your stupidity and plug up a toilet

It was 1949, fool. By the way, per usinflationcalculator, $.55 of 1949 would be the equivalent of $7.03 today.

@mickeybitsko1676....That price does seem really high. I tried to read the fine print but all I could make out was the word 'large' and then 'EGGS'. Maybe it was for more than a dozen...hopefully a lot more than a dozen..!! I googled how much eggs were in 1949 and one article said 12 cents a dozen. Other articles said that post WWll rationing was still affecting prices and eggs were anywhere from 60 cents to 70 cents, depending where one was. I would guess that in the rural areas where a lot of people had chickens that a dozen eggs would be cheaper than in the city. So this grocery add could have been a real add. Interesting....I learned something new...!!

before trumpettes with pillows and pigs in a blanket

@@marbleman52 _I learned something new...!!_ Imagine if 'Mickey' tried that.

Wide brims are functional. More protection from wind and rain, and look better as well. *Far better than jerks with baseball caps on backwards.

@@leelarson107 Also, when you are wearing a baseball cap and raise your head up rapidly and bump into something overhead this can drive that stupid button on the top straight down into your skull.
