Mmmm, Lizabeth Scott... Ha-cha-cha!😘 And she could sing too! With her husky, sensual.... couch cough! I think you know what I mean.
Precisely 😉
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast If I remember rightly, I think the first film I recall seeing her in was, "Too Late for Tears" (1949) with Mr. Duryea. Pretty good film noir from what I remember.
@@brucster99b2 It's a great little flick, that one. Ideal for Noirvember!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Noirvember?🤔Right..., never heard the term before. Duh? I've been hitting the old various Scandinoir TV series again recently. Just about to finish Forbrydelsen. Also watched Bedrag and Bron/Broen. Great stuff!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Ooops... forgot to mention Morden i Sandhamn as well.
Love the pictures/videos you include in these UA-cam Podcasts!
Thanks! We try our best, despite how tricky it may be ❤️
@@cevinmoore4216 I can imagine!!! We appreciate the work.
Bodies in the basement - reminds me of Arsenic and Old Lace!
More Arsenic & Old Lace! 😂
@@cevinmoore4216 Best...Film...Ever!!!!!
Hmmm. another film I haven't watched! The only "court room drama/comedy" films that spring to mind are, 1957's "Brothers In Law", and 1962's "A Pair Of Briefs" with the fruity Mary Peach!🍑 Mmmm... yummy!
Don’t start us on the My Cousin Vinny route, let’s think more about Mary Peach… 😉
Only seen snippets of the film because it didn't really grab me, but I might give it a go. I noticed imdb reviews weren't too promising though, and Zach, coming on like a second rate Bogie, was a little hmmm. Nice to see Ian Fleming again, one of the "bit part" elite, with Ian Wilson and Marianne Stone😋.
It’s definitely one for the completist because as you’ve heard, the story is a little bit scattershot to say the least! Doesn’t mean we still didn’t find plenty to enjoy in here either way. 😊
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Right... sometimes they may not quite achieve the look they're going for, but still worth a gander.
Sorry to hijack your interesting podcast but hoping you may be able to direct me to sources of all things Hammer regarding Anthony Hinds. I have a car that was owned by a Hammer cameraman with history stating car purchased from 'a film company' Anthony Hinds seemingly did own the same model in the mid 60's so looking for any source that might confirm one way or the other
That’s a tough one. Details like that would have been the domain of the accounts department that consisted of WHV Able, Ken Gordon and Roy Skeggs at that particular point in time. It could be worth checking through the books of Wayne Kinsey, but we’ve not seen any so far. Hope that helps
The "alternate titles/scenes" are interesting from the "need to see both versions" point of view, as I made a couple of composite versions of a few films. The main one for me being, "The Night Caller" (aka Blood Beast From Outer Space) which has a longer U.S. print, but the U.K. version has the better theme song, and the un-edited Soho shop scene. Plus, you get Marianne Stone!!
And then there were three... All the best Adam. I've got a spare room if Hy needs it... for her hats of course!
@@brucster99b2 It’s Adam’s hats we’re trying to find space for now 😂 His room will always be there if he needs a hideout.
Older actors playing younger parts is no big deal. DiCaprio was great in Catch Me if You Can. Great upload by the way.
Ha... older actors playing younger roles makes me think of those 60's U.S. exploitation films, with mid-20's year old's, and older, playing high-school students! Not to mention "Please Sir"!
@@brucster99b2 Haha, the finest example of “teens” has to be Caroline Munro in Slaughter High. She was in her mid 30’s by then 🤣
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast The weirdest I've come across was Peter Bark (Pietro Barzocchini), who was an Italian midget thespian, who played a young child (26 at the time) with a close? relationship with his overly doting mother in the Italian sleazy horror film "Burial Ground" from 1981. I'm not too sure which was the creepiest... the film or...😳
@@brucster99b2 oof! Completely forgot about that one, I love the Oedipus angle in Burial Ground, that was a weird angle to take in what’s primary a zombie movie haha! - Cev.
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast I wonder how the actors managed to keep straight faces in some of the scenes? It certainly has it's "What the...?" moments.
@@brucster99b2 right??? 😂🤣
Another excellent episode.
@@Before-fu6yu Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, there’s plenty more to come…😉
Celia! Brighton Line... Room number 9! Yikes..., is that T.C.M.'s Leatherface at 08:00?
Haha! It's what happens when you order a Leatherface from Wish 😉
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Some of those puppets were pretty creepy. "Hey.... who shouted Devil Doll?"
@@brucster99b2 Don't start us on Devil Doll, Adam & Smokey will never shut up! 🤣
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Have they seen the continental version?
@@brucster99b2 Just the crazy cross-dressing Lionel Barrymore version (lucky for us)
😃
Huzzah
Nice to hear you guys are back. It's been a while. Heard of the film, but never actually seen it. What..., no mention of Hy Hazell?😋
This film is sorely missing her magic touch😍
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Ooh... you are awful!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Oops..., forgot to mention that I posted "Celia" last month.
@@brucster99b2 Great stuff! Not sure if you'll have access or not, but Talking Pictures TV have now got a wealth of early Hammers and we were invited to give a chat about the first wave of their acquisitions a few months ago. They'r showing some knockout stuff that's not been aired in about half a century.
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Oh, that sounds interesting. I'd do the chat thing. Sounds like it could be fun. Yep, I'm in the U.K., and watch a fair bit of Talking Pictures TV. Catching up on Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre at the mo', even though I've the Box Set, it's just nice to refresh one's memory without dragging out the DVD's.
I love this movie.
You need to know that the film was based on a 30 minute radio play by Margery Allingham, and followed its structure with the mystery of who killed the lodger unsolved until the very end, years after the event.
Thanks, we love a good mystery! We mentioned on one of our other episodes about how Hammer would regularly produce big screen versions of radio plays (they scored some great deals from the BBC during this period). As a fun side note, the writer Margery Allingham became well known as the creator of Campion.
I think the bit that had me laughing the hardest was the French that was spoken. Oh Mon Dieu!
Like the worst Yorkshire tourists 🤣
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Or every American newscaster during the Olympics! It's painful.
@@taramcquade7720 😅🤣
Love Sheila Burrell! Thanks for her bio!
She makes a perfect movie villainess!
I enjoyed this film more than I thought. It was all about Rigby!
We're so glad that Talking Pictures TV has now started airing a lovely print of it. The one we worked with for this episode was a bit grim to say the least!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Sounds like that channel/site is fabulous. I'm having to do with the videos in Adam's library😁
Regarding the sister vs sister in law conversation - yes I figured out pretty quickly that IMDB was wrong (again) describing them as sisters! 😉
Over the years we've found there's more wrong than right on IMDB 🤣
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast I'm just glad that family and friends stopped asking me "what other movie was that actor in", they all now go there to find out.
@@taramcquade7720 😆
The podcast Shedunnit just did an episode on Christianna Brand. It is a great companion piece to this!
Will give it a listen, thanks!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast I love it when my podcasts converge!
Love the history lesson!😆
Glad to see you found our UA-cam channel, Tara. We love the history lessons just as much as you do!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Slowly working my way through all the movies discussed in the podcast. I mean where else could I learn about car hand cranks!!!???
@@taramcquade7720 Knowledge you never thought you could be without haha!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Seriously!!! I grew up watching old movies and always wondered what the deal was with the cranks. I was just too lazy to research myself. Since I have 3 years of shows to listen to before I catchup, I can only imagine the lessons ahead...
@@taramcquade7720 We have SO much in store for you!
Just realized your pod was on the tube. I've only gotten this far in the podcast. Enjoying it very much. Thank you.
Glad you’re enjoying it. There’s still a lot of catching up to do, but we’re getting there. Slowly…
A couple of....ok films. That's as kind as I can be really. I enjoyed them both about the same, although I liked the first PC49 actor better. Both films are better police procedurals than River Patrol. Thanks for reminding me that Going for Gold existed 😂
This was your funniest podcast up to this point IMO.😂. I wish I'd listened to this before watching the movie; I probably would have enjoyed it more. But yeah, it's terrible. I'm glad it was free to watch on Facebook. It's like an indie film a bunch of students made with equipment they borrowed from the media room. Truly dreadful. Literally the only pleasure you can get from this is to chuckle at it. It's still better than Sporting Love.
You know we wholeheartedly agree with you on that 🤣
Another great ep. Finished it late last night but was too tired to comment. I just watched all three of these films for the first time (over a period of a couple of days or so). I'd never even heard of this character or his movies before. I pretty much agree with you chaps as to the quality of each film. First one is dreadful, 2nd is great, and the 3rd is so-so (I only learned after I'd watched them that Strikes Back was filmed third). Wailing or not, that Blackpool tower stuff is great. I was born in Blackpool and I can remember going up to the top as a kid. Nostalgia. Tragic what happened to Stannard though. It's bittersweet watching him in Strikes Back knowing he probably had weeks (?) to live and he didn't know it. Gutted we'll never see the African one. I can imagine Sandy glancing around at some mud huts and saying "I don't think there's much chance of a bitter around here, sir".
Where did you guys find this film to even watch it?
It took us ages to track this one down and oh my - what an 'interesting' film haha! myrarefilms.co.uk/product/dark-road-1948/
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcastMy copy turned up. The film isn't in the best of condition these days is it? Definitely impacted my enjoyment a bit which is a shame. That said, it's clearly not much of a film anyway. You're right to say the lead actor is a bit out of place. There's no emotion to his story. It's mostly just a series of heavily narrated sections - "He's caught - he's free - he's caught - ooh he's out again". Another one to tick off and never return to.
The part that really tickled me in this was when the two women started randomnly exercising. You just don't see people do that anymore outside of gyms. I watched this on YT on a really poor upload and I sort of regret not shelling out a couple of quid to watch it on this other site I found afterwards. I like a good whodunnit. This one is functional, unspectacular, but a huge step up from Sporting Love.
There's so much to unpack in this one, just don't try unpacking it in the back of the shop!
Oh dear. This one is dreadful. You will struggle to find a worse Hammer film than this. It reminded me of being forced to watch Morecambe and Wise repeats as a kid in the 90s. Just wasn't my thing at all. Thankfully it was only 45 minutes or so but my concentration was wavering after 15. It didn't help that the YT copy available for this is of really poor quality (through no fault of the uploader). I didn't like the characters and the laughs were sparce. It can only be uphill from here.
We are still using this film as a measure of how bad it can get 2 years on!
Another cracking vid. I confess I only watched Song of Freedom last night so I could enjoy your podcast on it. It's not my sort of film though. It's more coherent than Mary Celeste but far less fun. I reckon I would enjoy a biopic on Robeson rather than this movie. He seems to have had a fascinating life. I sort of mildly enjoyed the first half. Like you guys however, once the main character gets to Africa the quality dips. Some of the early humour and singing is alright. Queen Zinga (?) looks terrifying. She should have been in something like 'She' or 'Slave Girls'. What a waste of a villain. Not one I'll ever go back to but at least it's another Hammer I can say I've seen.
We were pleasantly surprised by it. We were expecting far worse...
Great video! Really enjoyed it. I rewatched this movie last night for the first time jn a while. I can't make my mind up whether it's good or bad, given when it was made. So many quirky random things happen in it.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Losing virtually a whole reel of the film certainly doesn't help it, the crew disappear very quickly for starters...
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast are you still making videos. I ask because the last one you made was a year ago. I just found your channel so I hope you keep making more videos.
@@stewartkee6115 A bizarrely well timed question. Behind the scenes, it's been a tough year with a slimmed down crew (there's a lot of research & pre-release work involved) so the videos had to take a back seat. As we're now back to being a quartet, Black Widow is on the way 😁
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Great. Im also intrested in the film about the bank robbery. (I forget the title but I thought it was made just after Song of Freedom) I cant find any information about it anywhere.
@@stewartkee6115 The Bank Messenger Mystery? It was produced by Will Hammer himself and starred George Mozart who was a board member. The plot was a sacked bank cashier joins a criminal gang as revenge. Real shame it's a lost film. It may not have been up to snuff, but still a fascinating look at where the company was right then.
I caught The Rossiter Case last week with Sheila Burrell. Good movie, although I didn't get the ending? Also watched Recoil (1953), with Elizabeth Sellars, which is also a pretty good film.
It’s a great ending too. It was our favourite of the year.
Hey... did somebody mention Hy Hazell? 43:56 Watched "Trouble With Eve" last night, with Hy, and Sally Smith (The Human Jungle), playing mother and daughter. It's a bit of a ho-hum comedy, but worth a watch for the two ladies!
Sold. If it’s even half as much fun as her other films, we’re in!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast It's alright, but nothing to write home about. Silly style humour, but the ladies...😋
Nice to see/hear you guys are back. Never seen or heard of The Dark Light myself. I might give it a go, just out of curiosity.
Thanks! It’s a good little movie and one of the toughest titles to track down so best of luck 🤞
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Managed to find it, but pretty rough quality.
Haven't seen this, but I just found a ropey looking copy, and as I like Nigel Patrick, I'll give this a go tonight.
The copy we have wasn’t that clever, but it’s passable. Enjoy!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Looking forward to it after the podcast and imdb reviews. I'll let you know my thoughts on the film tomorrow.
Have to agree with most of the comments regarding Hy's performances in this and Celia. She's definitely plays a more shrewd and direct character in Celia than in this, but she does have room to spread her acting range/singing wings a little. I agree, this is pretty average, and I feel that if another actress had played Hy's role, it would have been totally forgettable.
Yikes.... don't mention Michael Medwin! After seeing him in "The Lady Craved Excitement"! Which I watched again last night, and it's a little better on second viewing. Sigh... Hy.
Medwin has a lot of making up to do after this one… The Lady Craved Excitement is the next episode!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Great! Anything with Hy in is fine with me, but Michael & Sid (Mario!!!) sure have a lot to answer for!
Never seen this myself, and from your reviews, it sounds like I haven't missed too much. Cracked up at the Hy Hazell reference in the intro😋! Me thinks someone needs to form a "Hy Hazell Appreciation Society". I watched "The Lady Craved Excitement" the other night with Hy, but it's not that good. It's a comedy, I guess, but not really funny. Michael Medwin tries his damnedest to be funny, but fails dismally. Hy breaks into song a few times, and looks mighty fine to me. Worth a viewing just for Hy, but don't expect too much, and as for Sid James playing an Italian... yikes!!
Sid James doing Mario years before Mario was a thing is far funnier than any of Medwin's efforts ha ha! Dr. Morelle is definitely one for the completists. On paper, it's a good enough idea, but the execution...
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast I'll give The Lady Craved Excitement another go, but I'm not holding out too much hope.
@@brucster99b2 Another member of the Hy Hazell Appreciation Society in the making. HY HAZELL!
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Hooray! It's nice to see that there is actually quite a few non-VHS or DVD released films out there to watch, be they good, or not so good. Have you ever come across "The Body Said No!"? I've had a nose around the usual sources, but no luck.
@@brucster99b2 A total blank here too :(
I've got the film, but can't remember too much about it. I'll have to re-watch it. Loved the quiz at the end of the podcast. Sounds like everyone was wetting themselves!
That was edited down. We couldn’t breathe! 🤣
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Lotta fun listen.... keep 'em comin'.
@@brucster99b2 Thanks again and there’s plenty more on the way 👍
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast Sounds good!
Totally agree, the title is a bit misleading, but not too bad a film. I enjoyed it myself, for what it is, but the Valentine Dyall connection is a little misleading. Rashmon Hall anybody? I think a certain penny dropped for me with the boathouse scene. Yet another very attractive Hazel.😜
At least it gave us chance to talk about Valentine Dyall’s fascinating life. 😊
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast True. I thought Hazel Penwarden was a missed opportunity by film directors. She's a very bright 'n breezy character, and I'm surprised she didn't really do a heck of a lot of other stuff.
Totally agree with all your guys comments. I've watched this 3 times in the last couple of weeks. Hy Hazell is so natural/believable in her role(s). Absolutely enjoyed every minute of the film. Love the shot near the end, when Larry and Celia are being chewed out by the cop, and Celia is just standing there, arms folded, and twiddling her fingers on her arm waiting to pounce on the cop. The only "Oh, come on..." bit, was the ladder when they're getting ready to climb up it. The angle of the ladder from one shot to the next was a little suspect, but I'm being really picky there. Lovely little gem of a film, and Hy was so hot.🤤 9/10
We were all blown away by Hy Hazell to such an extent that she remains our drinking salute to this day. You’re right, you can be picky, there’s plenty to have a go at, but then you’re missing out on all the fun. Glad to see you enjoyed it as much as we obviously did.
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast I had a nose around trying to find info regarding any BBC radio broadcast's, but came up with nothing.
@@brucster99b2 it’s a story we’ve come up against many times. A lot of shows were never archived properly or were destroyed to clear physical space even the most popular shows weren’t safe :(
@@TheHouseOfHammerPodcast I think we've probably hit a brick wall regarding a radio serial. I checked for info on Edward Mason, who wrote the screenplay, but couldn't find any info. I noticed imdb make mention of another Celia from 1957 with the three main actors from the film, but couldn't locate anything.
Just found another film, also from 1949, called "Paper Orchid" with Hy starring in a murder/mystery. I'll probably give it a watch tonight, and I'll let you know if it's any good.
I follow you guys on Twitter and was glad to see the pod available on YT as I have it in a browser most of the time. As a first time listener, I was pleasantly surprised you actually took some time to do some produced bits before just talking about the film. Looking forward to hearing more.
That's brilliant to hear and thanks for the great feedback. It's a bit of a slow process, but we're hoping to eventually catch up to where we are on the podcast feed (currently 1955) - Cev
