Yes, after a previous poster commented that the actress and the actor who played the pilot were married in 1948 and stayed married for over fifty years and had three daughters! Makes me feel good!
@@jacquelinejanz8466 be careful now !! .. there are many couples with over 3 kids that have been married 50 years of whom ... should have called it quits at far less than 50 years... even 5 years !!
Even the the script is the language of the times,instead of exaggerated dialogue as in other movies. I liked the ending where she grabs the gun off the table and tries to kill him .That was fast and a nice touch.
Thank you for sharing. I've been in the mood for a good Film Noir for a few weeks now, and this fit the bill just fine. Leslie Brooks was a looker and delivered her lines very well, great eye expression!
This film sort of dances on the edge of 'B' movie and better. Certainly has its moments. It is definitely Film Noir. I do appreciate these uploads as I currently do not have access to TCM. Love the genre.
"Throughout every minute of our married life we were supremely happy." "The entire week, huh?" Wonderful exchange, delivered with great subtlety, unusual for a B.
Well,one week of marriage and I am on my honeymoon and find my young and beautiful wife writing to her lover and lying to me, I'd be as quick to get a divorce chopchop and so would any other normal guy...
*****NonSpoiler review**** Excellent movie with a great suspenseful plot. I love black and white movies, but NOT all. This is one of the best. The cast is fabulous and the story is a psychological drama. If you are interest in human behavior and the Sociopathic/Psychopathic Narcissist who destroys each one in her/his path you will love this. Thank you to Timeless Classic Movies. I would highly recommend. Leslie Brooks is breathtaking.
Wow. Thanks for the upload, TCM. This really defines the "femme fatale" theme; I can think of no better besides "The Maltese Falcon," and the deadly dame in that one needed Bogart to slowly reveal her nature. Here, the "lady's" predatory evil is clear from the first few minutes...so one watches to see just how bad she will be. This is one creepy horror film.
The're out there, sociopaths, they can be completely believable, charming, sincere, and sometimes quite devastating...Another great film noir classic...
Touché - narcissistic, sociopath and when impatient and frustrated - they come out of their box as psychopath "fit fit fit" fit that square in the octogon "fit fit fit"
"Your as cold as ice, Your willing to sacrifice our love, You never take advice someday you'll pay the price I know, I seen it before..." And to think there are minds out there like this. :/ Well done.
It held up surprisingly well. Leslie Brooks steals the show, especially toward the end. It is interesting to look at a B film like this and wonder just why it is a B film; what does it lack to make if an A film Or to put it another way, why does the combination of Billy Wilder, Raymond Chandler, Fred MacMurray, Edward G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck make for a great movie?
Excellent movie..I hadd not heard of the majority of the actors, however, they were top notch!! Thank you for uploading. I have completed a subscription. More please!!
I wasn’t sure this would be a good movie but it sure was. James Griffith as Al was terrific.....in fact the whole cast was great. Well worth you time. Leslie Brooks has the whole evil woman thing masterfully played.
@@jacquelinejanz8466, Yes. A narcissist with a side of pathological liar. They end up believing their lies. It’s a destructive mental illness that can ruin the lives of others, particularly their children.
She carried this movie singlehandedly. No help from the budget, fellow actors, script, music, photography........ screen presence! So glad she made this movie. Her legacy.
Excellent film - very exciting and they don't waste time with dragging the story out - e.g. Mr Hanniman decides on a divorce in less than a minute of finding his wife writing to another man.
He had the power of his convictions. He made the right decision (to leave) but played his move incorrectly. When dealing with someone so selfish, you have to anticipate their moves and then out-maneuver them. (Experience)
Thanks for posting. Spoiler alert!!!! Good movie but the ending didn't make sense. Why did she confess to the murders so easily when confronted by the Dr.? This character would have never given up so easily. I don't buy her explanation at all.
Although it's done very concisely, the doc does give the audience insight into Claire's pathology. The men in her lives are her father and when she loses them, it rips open the primal wound of Daddy's desertion.
They were supremely happy right up until she shot him😊. She is a good writer, she put everything she had in that story, she gave her life😊. If that analyst hadn't been so blunt, this wouldn't have happened😮.
I had that for 2 years b4 i dropped her. Mine was worse. Now I'm just released from jail cause they couldn't prove I had anything to do with her fall from the balcony. 😅😅. Now at piece
I'll never understand why Whitman Chambers didn't give his novel the title "Blonde Ice" instead of "Once Too Often". Just one murder is "once too often" ; let alone 3 times!
Spoiler Alert! Don't read this if you have not seen the ending. Why did she "confess" to all the murders at the end simply because of the theories of the doctor? He had no hard evidence. What am I missing?
Just a year or so after this movie was released, Leslie Brooks married Russ Vincent. She became a full-time homemaker, had 3 children, and the couple remained married until his death. She lived about 10 years after that, dying in 2011.
I’m just confused by the ending. WHY DID Claire write a confession letter ? She seemed like she hid her tracks pretty well so why would confess everything in a letter? Maybe she thought the doctor was on to her and would expose her? Or perhaps she truly in her own way loved lee burns and felt some some of guilt? Any other suggestions or did I miss something.
As a couple of people have commented, the ending was unbelievable - or should I say, even more unbelieveable than the rest of the plot! But at the end of these films when the main actress is plainly seen to be a murdress, and likely to be executed, a script writer knows they must not leave the audience wondering how dreadful her fate is going to be and killing her off, no matter how, gives a sense of ending, which is what all good fiction has!
Some people say love is blind, but I was never blind to it, I caught 3 women with other men. Their defense was that I was not jealous of them! No jealousy is control, and I never wanted to control them, nor they me! It's their lose!
Wow. "I'll think about you on my honeymoon!"...That's like a porn actress telling you that she loves you and that she'll come straight home after work.

Hooray on both counts!

Steven Torrey And it really isn't in the same league as "Double Indemnity".
Steven Torrey better movies used lots more intense closeups. Also stronger mood music. It does make you appreciate the production.
Excellent movie with great actors and a quality upload! Thanks for posting.
Quality upload, not. Poor resolution.

Old celluloid deteriorates. Unless somebody puts out the money for a restoration this is the best you can expect. It's not bad at all.

I agree.
She justifies everything to herself
And buys it !
We have all known people like that.
Astounding !
@@jacquelinejanz8466,
Yes. A narcissist with a side of pathological liar. They end up believing their lies. It’s a destructive mental illness that can ruin the lives of others, particularly their children.
I didn't think it was possible that an hour movie could have so many commercials.
Good role for veteran character actor James Griffith. While Brooks won't make you forget Barb Stanwyck in Double Indemnity she does quite well here.
Wow! She would give Ms.Stanwyck a run for her money!! Good movie. Thank you.
She carried this movie singlehandedly.
No help from the budget, fellow actors, script, music, photography........ screen presence!
So glad she made this movie. Her legacy.
Yes. Claire is just as disordered and dangerous and attractive as Phyllis.
How on earth did I miss Leslie Brooks? The girl could play crazy. Great close ups. Quite the dish.
Excellent film - very exciting and they don't waste time with dragging the story out - e.g. Mr Hanniman decides on a divorce in less than a minute of finding his wife writing to another man.
Yes. He wasn't taken in with her seductive and manipulative ways. So sad he had to die at the hands of that tramp.
Adios!
He had the power of his convictions. He made the right decision (to leave) but played his move incorrectly. When dealing with someone so selfish, you have to anticipate their moves and then out-maneuver them. (Experience)

@Timeless Classic Movies Thank you for posting such a good movie. I enjoyed it very much.
Nothing like a good crime flick before bed. Thumbs up for this one!
Seconding that!
What a ending! Classic
When you have to stand in your seat for the last scene then.....its good.
Loved this film. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
It was good!
Love the flowered wallpaper..................... And the old gun in the drawer routine................
Co-stars Jack Del Rio, before he played linebacker in the NFL. 😊
I love all film noir movies
"She wasn't even a good newspaper woman", HA HA HA!
A delicious line to close a film and you couldn't help wonder that the writer insisted on getting it in the final cut.
Thanks for posting.
Spoiler alert!!!!
Good movie but the ending didn't make sense. Why did she confess to the murders so easily when confronted by the Dr.? This character would have never given up so easily. I don't buy her explanation at all.
The "beautiful music" in the prelude to the movie is is divine and stirs the soul......
What a great actress as well as stunning looking - never heard of her before.
+Yolz M Leslie Brooks. It's right in the credits below the movie. :-). I think this was her only major role. I could not find any others.
She married the man who played the blackmailing pilot and left acting for being an upper-class housewife. She did a film in the early 1970s however.
Leslie Brooks
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Brooks
Fantastic actress but I can’t look at her as beautiful because she was so evil n this movie. Haha Very natural acting.
Denise Noe No way! Wow!
A very enjoyable film! Thanks for the upload. Great channel!
That smile after she kills her first husband... great acting.
She really was beautiful. So sinister was that smile
I always thought the best movies were made in the 40's....
Many Thanks. This was a great one. I find it strange how a 1:14 movie can seem much longer. Well written.
nothing like the drama in an old movie!!
Lots of Darlings....Claire not afraid of guns....bang bang
I really like James Griffith (Al) in this! He's always so good at playing the guy who knows what's really up. lol
Apparently it was his first movie role.
Someone described him as "a bitch in pants."
Les always picks up the murder weapon....why why why
Probably because it is good for the storyline! Real fool thing to do!
Great movie. Thank you for uploading.
I reach for the stars, but in the opposite way. She wanted status and security. I want love.
First time seeing this Great movie.
Thanks for sharing!
She's not merely cold as Ice. She's crazy.....lol
Sure is.
when the bride is kissing a man at her wedding and it isn't her husband....lol
Read the book---What Makes Sammy Run.. Then, there's always Pam Anderson.
And the beat goes on..🎸🎶🎵🎼
That wowed me!
"Wasn't nothing, just a friendly goodbye kiss" !
"I never loved any of them". Ice alright.
Was hoping the patient secretary would get her man in the end.
Great low-budget film. James Griffith, who had along career, looked like Zachary Scott.
That was a very entertaining movie. A good old fashioned movie!
« If this keeps up you won’t be able to fit your initials on your silverware. »

The pilot is Humphrey Bogarts stand in.
Never tell a narcissist your plans. Get an exit strategy and go. Once you know, you go. Where was HG Tudor for poor Carl 😢
They were supremely happy right up until she shot him😊. She is a good writer, she put everything she had in that story, she gave her life😊. If that analyst hadn't been so blunt, this wouldn't have happened😮.
Case study in narcissistic personality disorder.
That's a terrible disease to have. Anf effects everyone around like virus. Talk as bout social distancing
I had that for 2 years b4 i dropped her. Mine was worse. Now I'm just released from jail cause they couldn't prove I had anything to do with her fall from the balcony. 😅😅. Now at piece
Murders her hubby
Then Orders Breakfast
OJ. ,Toast...Coffee
Now I know where the song came from. ( Your as cold as ice ).
she was married to the piiot rl for 60 yrs or so after movie was made
Yes. He died in 2001and she in 2011.
Better to remain single. Romantic 🎉Relationship can be dangerous.
Right! Nowadays she would've been labeled a serial killer
She played the part too well!
In real life, she married Russ Vincent and their union lasted for life.
She was wicked in this film. I actually don't like her now.
@@barb6868 That is just about the biggest compliment you can give an actress .
I know!!! She was so evil in this movie. Great actress though!

For someone who's ostensibly a reporter, Les Burns sure seems slow to see the handwriting on the wall.
-- “Blonde Ice” sounds like a great name for a band.
Chicken salad & martinis, somebody had to go just on that alone.

That last line was really cold! hahah
ice cold!
"She's dead, Jim."
ɷ I Havee Watchedd Thissss Moviee Leakeddd Versionn Hereeee : - t.co/SjZpZXw5gt
That's why they call it film noir I guess. Dark humour.
I'll never understand why Whitman Chambers didn't give his novel the title "Blonde Ice"
instead of "Once Too Often". Just one murder is "once too often" ; let alone 3 times!
Excellent movie, thank you!
The cops break in at the last scene and in this movie they should accuse the three guys of murdering the girl.
Spoiler Alert! Don't read this if you have not seen the ending. Why did she "confess" to all the murders at the end simply because of the theories of the doctor? He had no hard evidence. What am I missing?
I have to say I liked the intrigue of this movie very much. Intrigue of love.
Oh what tangled we weave when we practice to deceive.

Only a pimp will marry this woman
Where is it possible to see this movie in focus is what I'd like to know...
What happened to the cigarette companies...no gratuitous smoking???1948 anti smoking movie...a breathe of fresh air and sanity!
"Slimy Scientific Snooping"-- try saying that 3 times fast-- I wonder how she could keep a straight face, lol!

hello and thanks.... Claire winds up crumpled on the floor in a room emptied of men....the last one shuts the door...poetic....
A watchable B movie. The actor portraying the pilot has a Bogey thing going on in attitude, voice and appearance.
And paste-on eyebrows
