Anything with William Powell is worth watching no matter how old. And Mary Astor adds icing to the cake.
Absolutely!
I prefer Powell and Myrna Loy.
@@boskonian They were Good too.
William Powell. Suave. Confident. Debonair. Always brought a flair to his roles. Could watch his movies 🎬 🎞 🎥 all day.
Same here. Any movie he's in is great. I love the Thin Man Movies! ❤
I just love William Powell, especially when he plays detective roles like this and the Thin Man series. Thank you Pizza Flix once again for a posting such a fun movie for us to enjoy.
These black and white movies; no sex, no violence, no swearing, no special effects and no graphic images. Give me old time movies instead of today's rubbish films.
Ahhh back to a time when actors were actors and they didn't all look the same !! They had real talent too !! Great stories without all the blood, guts, gore and blowning everything and everyone up in between explicit tumbles everywhere with everybody !!!!!
😂😂
Thank you for a terrific movie.
This brings back memories of the Newhaven railroad in my birth state of Connecticut. My 2 auntie's worked for them, one of which was the sister of my grandfather Harold Graves who now deceased, was the Chief of 👮 police in New Haven. Everyone in the family worked for the city! Whenever I went to New York City, I took the New Haven railroad. Now a days, it's all different. Only Amtrak. I remember all the small Townes announced and even more. I kept listening for one of the actors to even mention the Taft hotel, the Park plaza or the Schubert theater. That's where lots of plays opened prior to going to Broadway. I love WM. Powell & Eugene pal atte. Thank you 4 this post!!!
Amen.
Oh, weren't the 1930s just wonderful? The Depression was such a blast!
Thank you for sharing. Nothing can touch the quality that the Hollywood Pioneers have given us. Mr. Powell was 41 years old when he made this film. He made 14 films with Ms. Myrna Loy (what a team). He and Ms. Loy left a body of work that we enjoy over 80 years later. He lived from July 29, 1892 to March 05, 1984. Ms. Loy lived August 02, 1905 to December 14, 1993. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV January 18, 2019
Thank you for that information. I agree there were "so many" great movie stars from the early 20's up to 60's & 70's that I miss so much. Saddest is that too many great films have been "lost" due to storage of the films.
@@patdax5432 Unfortunately, they learned too late, the proper way to store those wonderful films of yore. Also, Loretta Young (01/06/1913 - 08/12/2001) wanted her television show distroyed because she felt the gowns she wore at the time would be laughed at in the future. Lillian Gish (10/14/1893 - 02/27/1993) worried that her films would be laughed at so she wanted hers distroyed as well. They did not stop to realize that we could learn so much from those that gave so much. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV April 05, 2019
William Powell made a successful contribution as a pioneer to the motion picture industry ~ film after film ~ and most appreciated by soo many of us! Thank you for sharing another one of his best ~ whether he’s investigating a complicated murder case or involved in an endearing & entertaining comedy, his acting is top-notch!
SuzieQ Wonder - Yes... Top notch! :)
Must go to the library and get a book on his life.
Well said.
I love his acting too.
I love this movie
I’ve seen this movie numerous times, and it’s ALWAYS as much fun as the the first time I saw it.
I'm watching this with my wee dog, who has never responded before to video or sound recordings. With this movie introduction of the dog-show he was animated.
I find myself watching more old movies than new.Everything today is beat em up tough guys with the same plot time and again.
A really great locked room mystery! William Powell was so good & a real doll with those dimples & great voice. Thank you for the upload of this classic whodunit.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you!
@@PizzaFLIX That's adorable!! :D
Thanks for Sharing. All ways watched these old movies with my Nan. She loved William Powell. God rest her Soul. From Betty.. London UK
Beautiful picture . Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful movie. I enjoy seeing a lot of the older movies I grew up watching . They are very classy with wonderful creations and style.
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
George Cukor's magic.
@PizzaFlix, this is one of my favorite films. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Pizza fix is the best for great films, and quality presentation 😊 thank you!
A great whodunnit with so many intricate details. William Powell was the best and so debonair. It is a shame men do not dress and carry themselves with this kind of class and style today.
No...those suits are horrible...
Another, GEM!!! THANKS, for these great movies! I was born in the wrong decade.
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
We have not many, at all- today like the actors of then. Thank you.
William Powell is wonderful ❤! Great movie for a rainy day! Or any day! Thank you!
Thank you. I always like an old-fashioned whodunit. William Powell and a great cast made it a lot of fun to watch.
Read the first four or five novels. They blow the movies away AND they make watching the movies more enjoyable than you can imagine. Same with the James Bond movies. Look up a site called "Faded Page".
I love the way the police allow everyone to walk through the crime scene. And then they call for fingerprints.
In these wonderful old movies, it never occurs to them that the gun wouldn’t stay in his hand if suicide. I love the Sargent”s character....the actor
I listen to Richard Diamond radio shows each night before bed. Now I'm hooked on the Thin Man movies.
I love the Thin Man movies! ❤👍
W O N D E R F U L - Thank you so much for sharing this gem.
William Powell was one of the great ones.
...yes and then came ...''Peter-Lawford''...Who Later On joined..T/inFamous-(RaT-Pack-)..along W/Sammy-Davis-Dean-Martin-Joey-Bishop-& the Big-DoG-'''FRANK-Sinatra-''...!!
Brilliant old movie, many thanks ☺️
It's a great bedtime story. It never gets old
I love hearing how people used to speak. Fascinating, American accents sounded very similar to British ones. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
The average American didn't necessarily speak like this. Speech coaches in Hollywood and elsewhere trained actors to speak like this. It was considered to be more correct and definitely more classy. Actors who arrived with southern, New York or other accents were trained out of them!
@@jacquelynwilliams3660 The Transatlantic accent. Used by actors, politicians and public speakers. Actually I've seen old documentaries and news films of average people speaking like this. I suppose common folk tried it also.
Half the actors were english thats why.
Love these old movies. They have class. Great acting love the characters. Love the who done it movies. William Powell was one fantastic actor. He couldbe serious or do comedy.
I always liked Eugene Pallette's voice.
+kathleen wroblewski He had to have done radio before flicks with a throat like that!
He was a fun character actor. He and Powell were great here and even better in My Man Godfrey just 3 years later, and Powell and Lombard were wonderful in it; even after just having divorced, they didn’t show it. Hollywood sure tried to copy that film a couple of times, even stealing lines and actors, but there’s only one My Man Godfrey. The other knockoffs just look stupid in comparison, cheap imitations. Recycled scripts and themes couldn’t outdo that perfect casting.
the Doc: "I'm a doctor, not a magician"
37:04 "Well there are too many people in the world anyway". Too many people in the world in 1933, imagine if he had lived today and seen the world population.
Great Movie!! Thank You For Sharing 😄
Another classic!
It was so nice in old America when people used to dress up when going out.
Have seen this multiple times and it always keeps me on the edge of my seat
thank you. great movie
Thank you, Pizza, for another fabulous movie!!
PIZZA FLIX ALWAYS ALWAYA THE BEST IF EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Thank you for so many enjoyable movies!🙏💜
Deborah Leone has
Love these movies,
Liked the remark by the sgt. On why go to Chicago with a book on unsolved murders. ☆
That coroner dude (Etienne Giradot) reminds me of "Star Trek" and Dr. McCoy - "I'm a doctor - not a,...." He also played the lunatic in 20th Century" with Jack Barrymore and Carole Lombard. It was good to see George Chandler - between him and Charles Lane they must have 500 film credits to their name, though neither are seldom listed in the castWilliam Powell is always so good. He's so under-rated.
I noticed those "I'm a doctor...not a...." as well so wonderful.
love this old film, I enjoy William Powell films very much
Good show! I really like Eugene Pallette (he was so great in "My Man Godfrey" also with William Powell). At one point in the movie, Mr. Powell's dialogue really reminded me of Don Adams in 'Get Smart' - strange coincidence I guess. Thanks for this fine movie!
In an appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Don Adams said his Get Smart voice was an homage to William Powell's voice in The Thin Man movies.
@@nmr6988 Wow - "I did not know that" 😎
@@acehandler1530 , I grew up watching the Thin Man movies on the old movie channel. I didn't know they were made 25 years before I was born. After that Carson appearance all the Willam Powell and Myrna Loy movies enjoyed a renaissance and have never been forgotten since.
@@nmr6988 They were great together...but my all-time favorite is 'My Man Godfrey'. Carole Lombard was so great (and they were just recently divorced too which was really weird) and the storyline is so convoluted and fun. Toss up between that movie and "Capt. Blood" with Errol & Olivia 💖 🇨🇦
@@acehandler1530 , they were total professionals. The entire cast was a dream.
My favorite William Powell movie even better than the Thin Man!
William Powell, the suave everyday man😎
This was great 👏🏾 🙋🏽
Great video thanks for posting
You know, the actions of the victim in the film reminds me of a case in real life talked in an episode of Forensic Files: Son attacks his parents (mother survives), but the father with a bullet hole in his head, was able to walk through the house, doing the things he would do in the morning (prepping breakfast, picking up the newspaper), the man even picked up the spare key he hid in a potter plants at the entrance, since he locked himself out.
Watching how they explain it was eerie, because been in a state of semi conscious as one bleeds to death while walking through the house, not having the idea his own son just shot him, really an dreadful way to go.
There was a Lifetime movie made about that.
There's another case of the son murdering his father with an axe, and his father woke up, did his morning activities before succumbing to his injuries. The mom was able to live, and now believes her son is innocent, even though she blamed him at first. 🤦🏻♀️ Crazy crazy crazy.
For decades, I wondered why they went thru so many actors playing Philo Vance. Then this week I read about how several studios got into a "bidding war" for rights to successive novels. NO care for consistency.
There might be some good ones after this one, but I wonder if it's worth the bother. They replaced the actor who played the D.A. in this one. The next film, they replaced Vance. The one after that, they replaced Eugene Pallette. I could almost picture Warren William as Vance, but Paul Lukas? James Stephenson? Etc.?
It's very odd there hasn't been a Philo Vance film made since the early 40s. But I suppose the aggressive inconsistency of the later films probably succeeded in KILLING the series.
Michael Curtiz is known for having done some of the best, most popular films of his era. I see in this one he did the kind of job Orson Welles might have done later-- throwing everything he had into making a potentially dull, "overly-talkie" mystery as VISUAL as possible. The flashbacks showing what happened may well have inspired similar devices in "DEATH ON THE NILE" (1978), "THE BIG SLEEP" (1978), "EVIL UNDER THE SUN" (1982). The finale of this film was just jaw-dropping in its insane complexity!
Three Vance movies and in each the police doctor has been called away from him meal.
Excellent, excellent movie❤️❤️
This movie is surprisingly self-aware for an older movie. The Asian dude was smarter than almost anyone suspected.
How convenient to have some architectural models of the homes in question handy for review, and other such things. But I still like these old shows, with great actors in their earlier years...
Right, that would have taken ages to make but hey presto, intricate scale models at hand lol
Love it ❤
Thank you
I too am a “fresh air enthusiast”
Police Sgt seems modelled on Lestrade in the Sherlock Holmes stories.... a bufoon who always knows an 'open and shut' case at the start.
Very interesting Warner classic. That MPPDA logo at the start is a code.
John Davis - The Hays Code for “clean moral tone” in American films, from that era.
@@lauracollins4195 - I didn't know that...thank you for the information. 😃
At 9:24, note the boom mic in the mirror. Lol! Love these gaffs in these old movies!
I missed that! Thanks for the tip
Wonderful!
Powell is unique & talented, as usual
I had seen this few times, but just gave you a like on principle.
I lije the guys' hats.
SUPER MERCI POUR CE P'TIT BIJOU !.. WILLIAM AU SOMMET DE SON ART !.. BONUS PLUS AUX SCÉNARISTES !..
TYVM
I love this movie😘😘😘😘
I believe Columbo studied under Philo Vance and McCoy is the great great...grandson of the good underfed doctor.
I don’t know if you’d not know you’ve been stabbed… but then again I’ve had extreme injuries and one time just knew I was stuck out of my body and in too much pain to even breathe, with no memory of what was causing the pain, no memory of finding my phone or placing a call, just being on the phone and asking how you get back in your body if you can’t jump back into it, and how bad it hurt to breathe. I was going down. Thank God the person I randomly called from my contacts sent help. I barely remember just a few seconds of them in my house while I gathered my keys and belongings. Then I spent three months in the hospital, lucky to be alive. It was the last person you would normally call for help, not somebody that’s good in a crisis at all. But at least she knew that and sent someone else. I was delirious because I was not in my body, but I could see it, walking around. It’s pretty scary to get locked out of your own body. Access denied on the most serious level.
It took three years to even remotely get back into it. I am still not completely lined up with it. It’s sort of like putting on a shirt or coat, but you don’t have both arms in and it’s buttoned all crooked. It’s sort of on, but not really. I know there are others out there, in the same situation. In some ways it’s kind of a little like being the walking undead. We don’t totally relate anymore to this place.
If you live halfway in the spirit realm and halfway on earth, or 70% in the spirit realm and 30% on earth on a good day… It’s a challenge. Anyone that questions the spirit realm, or demons and God, they are real, and all I can say is you don’t want to be in the spirit realm (or here) without God. That’s the very first thing I learned. And once you learn that, you hang on to God, and you do not let go for anything. You have no idea what is just waiting for you, because while you’re in your body you are protected to a degree.
People talk about it being a prison, but it is a protection. Not a prison. And the whole spirit realm is envious, and will pull any tricks to be able to hijack, or just hitchhike. You can look around at the very confused people in the world and you can guarantee they have a lot of hitchhikers, and they did something to let them in. And they are not so easy to get rid of, although there are ways to do that. And if it’s not a biblical way, then you’re just going to get more of them as you try to get rid of them. And no, you don’t need a Roman (pagan) Catholic priest, aka a counterfeit, you just need a real Christian. All real Christians are authorized (John 14:12, among others).
And once I saw a guy sitting on the sidewalk who had been stabbed and his whole back was bloody, God only knows how many times he had been stabbed, because he still had his dark shirt on, and the massive amount of blood was obscuring any holes, and he was barely aware of it, but he was possibly strung out, and yes the ambulance was on the way. He was totally conscious, conversant. He knew he’d been stabbed, though, even if he wasn’t writhing in pain. And that is not an indication of not actually being in pain, there are a lot of very stoic people out there. They just refuse to show pain. No matter what.
HUH!!!??? TMO PAL!!
Best movie critique I've seen in a comment ever!
I love how the thuggish Sergeant Heath threatens Liang. This was back when beating confessions out of suspects was accepted police procedure, especially if the suspect wasn't white. The movie itself is quite good, with some interesting camera work. Powell is his usual marvelous self. It's also interesting to see how the use of language has changed in the ninety years since this movie was made. For example, the DA says "sus-PECTS" when he refers to the people who are under suspicion, placing the emphasis on the second syllable--as a modern speaker would do when using that word as a verb--rather than the first, as is normal today when using it as a noun.
Miles Mander on 25 mins.He was in Wuthering Heights and the Rathbone/Holmes film about the Hoxton creeper and the napoleon busts.
27:55 "I'm a doctor, not a magician!" OK, Bones
28:55: "I'm a doctor, not a detective!"
😂
Great movie clear film
9 25 mark microphone drops into view in mirror. Watched this movie a dozen times and never saw that before
Who killed sir Thomas's dog?
Archer Cole I think
Wrede, he'd gone there to find Hilda but she had left with Sir Thomas. So in anger he killed his dog.
@@joesouza114748:44 I always wondered who killed the dog and I think you are right.
Wrede killed the dog in a fit of fury when he got to the kennel club and found out Hilda had left with Sir Thomas.
Good doggy.
How did they know that the killer would go for the poker to kill sir Henry.?
OH GÉNIAL SUPER MERCI POUR UN FILM AVEC WILLIAM JE REVIENS VERS VOUS APRÈS LA VISION MLLE MME MR PIZZA FILMS
perabens lindo este filme assisti 3 veses e gosto deles
Great movie! Funny thing, that revolver looks like an automatic!
Why didn't they find out who committed the very first murder? Who killed Ghillie? Never did see his killer brought to justice.
Film Noire 😍🌻
EXCELLENT. MOVIE
Ralph Morgan, the Wizard from The Wizard of Oz, is in this, also.
William Powell was a class act.
+Randall Whiteside Frank Morgan was the wizard.
@@kenowens9021 Frank Morgan played several parts in The Wizard of Oz: Marvel the Magnificent, the Wizard, the Gatekeeper of Oz and the coach driver with the Horse of a Different Color.
This is Ralph Morgan the brother of Wizard of Oz actor Frank Morgan.
@@pjgraves3126 this is Ralph not Frank Morgan.
What the motive for the crime was?
Sherlock Powell 😂🇬🇧
Great 👍 Movie
oldie but a goodie :)
Mr. Powell in an old but fine mystery,. Order me another piece of Pizza Flix .....please !
.....caught you WATCHING those OLDIES on UA-cam-CHANNEL-...might as well put on another POT of Coffee and WATCH it W/me...ENJOY'''
A body begins to smell without refrigeration.
Philo Vance---what a JOIK! William Powell---what a SMOOTHIE!
-----If it's a Vitaphone Picture, it's GOT TO BE A DOG!
I really enjoy this character as p pop layer by William Powell!
Helen Vinson was such a babe.
Eugene Pallete: resided for DECADES at the legendary Hollywood Hotel.
the Wiz of Oz actor seven years earlier than Toto unmasked him
This is Ralph Morgan not his Wizard of Oz brother Frank.
Pin it on Pisolino, or better yet on the Chinese cook.
William Powell solves another one, with an assist from Asta.
What's that on the screen? Is that a picture? Hard to tell.
Hi, It's really amazing show cheap What's your opinion about that, guys
Only a dog lover would give the poor dog enough time to get back at the evil jerk who hurt him badly. If I were him I’d have given the dog at least 5 more minutes. I’d say the dog deserves his 10 mins alone in a room with the man who almost killed him. it’s only fair.
Btw I always root for the dog 🐶

William Powell was a honey TFS
