Absolutely excellent old black and white film!
There is nothing more comforting when you have a winter cold, than curling up with a hot drink and watching good old English made black & white films. 📽️
Indubidubly 🙂
I don't watch the movies of today because the oldies are absolutely the BEST..I love everything about them especially that they there's no vulgarity that you find in almost all movies of today. I've loved them since I was a kid. These movies can be watched by any age. Keep them coming Pizza Flix. I live the variety. You're number one by a long shot👍👍👍
I love all these amazing films, fantastic actors, stunning scripts, no foul language, no cgi, no violence, just a brilliant film. I do not understand why these days we put these actors on pedestals?? They can’t act, they rely on photo shots, plastic surgery, and cgi. Thank you, thank you, thank you for downloading these wonderful films 💓
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you!
Amen 🙏
Just classy witty dialogue. Men n women wore grown up clothes.
Bravo!
Thank Goodness Sharon Stone WASN'T around back then !! 😂😂
My! What a lovely movie! Movies in the olden days were so lovely & respectable. Never ever get bored of these 🖤
These are the best
murder mystery movies. And so Bristish with a dry
sense of humor...
Thank you PIZZA for
sharing the movies
you show.
Thank You Pizza Fix! Keep these CLASSICS coming!!! They are the best!
Hi Joanne 🍕Thanks for Watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce Be with you 🍕
So many old movies,so much better than what's on telly!
the old ones are the best because they rely on good scripts rather than special effects, this one is great.
And in good actors instead of mediatic actors
And you don’t have to be embarrassed at anything that happens or be assaulted by foul language.

Mediocre?
FOESHOW
Thank you Pizza Fix, so much for bringing back all the wonderful memories...
The ending makes this a very splendid story. Turhan Bey was a quite popular actor at the time and played in many movies. Thank you for this wonderful movie!
Lovely 😍 very gentle, light , in 1 location shooting 😍 simple clothes, only on the best literature, awesome story 😀 ❤
Loved the ending. Very clever.
Those old guest house lodgings don't exist anymore. A pity.
Wonderful and believable acting, fabulous memories. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
This movie is definitely worth the watch ! Thanks for posting .
What a clever movie. Now this was something completely different. Silly but fun. And fun to see a young Turhan Bey.
Nice to see former cast members from the movie " Pride and Prejudice" in this movie ❤️💙😍. Great performance by them all, Heather Angel, Frieda Inescort, and Bruce Lester, also Frieda and Bruce team up in the movie " The Letter " with Bette Davis and Herbert Marshall.
Another great one from the MovieMeister, PIZZAFLIX!! Thanks again🍻🍕
One of the actresses in this film, Heather Angel, is perhaps best-known for her portrayal of British nanny "Miss Faversham" in the television series "Family Affair." That character was usually seen in scenes of that TV series wherein the "Davis" twins ("Buffy" & "Jody," portrayed, respectively, by Anissa Jones & Johnny Whitaker)) were accompanied on their daily outings to the park (presumably New York's Central Park) by gentleman's gentleman "Giles French" (and, for a brief period during the illness of Cabot, by John Williams as "Nigel French"), as portrayed by Sebastian Cabot. The "Misters French" were, effectively, male nannies to the "Davis" children, in addition to their cook and valet roles for bachelor "William Davis" (Brian Keith), who presided over his own civil engineering business.
The scenes with Miss Angel as "Miss Faversham" were usually in the park when she and the other nannies of children, (including whichever "Mr. French") would be seated on a park bench as their respective charges played, "Faversham" and "French" generally chatting away amiably. Though never completely realized to fruition, there had always been a hint of romance between "Giles French" and "Miss Faversham," the latter who also resided for a time with her employing family in the same building as the "Davis" family.
Many years after her death, the New York-based alternative rock band Sonic Youth recorded a tribute song to Heather Angel, who had also been a film star in mysteries (including the lead role in the original "The Hound of the Baskervilles," Alfred Hitchcock's "Lifeboat," and some of the "Bulldog Drummond" and "Charlie Chan" detective series') during the 1930s and '40s.
There was also a sad footnote to Miss Angel's career, when she witnessed the stabbing death (by a deranged UCLA - Santa Barbara graduate student) of her third husband, film & stage director Robert Sinclair, in their California home in 1970.
gymnastix Perhaps that's true of American audiences and younger ones, but I love her in the Bulldog Drummand movies!!!
Perhaps what is "true of American audiences and younger ones?"
By the way, I mentioned the "Bulldog Drummond" series (your stated favorites of Heather Angel's roles) in my original post, as well Miss Angel's roles in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1931, the first, British version) and "Lifeboat" (1944, directed by Alfred Hitchcock), all high-profile films but one ("Baskervilles") of which were produced by film companies based in the United States of America. So whatever your implication about "American audiences" should take that into account.
As for "younger ones," I am not sure your implication there either. By inference, I take you are considering anyone born after the initial releases of the "Drummond" films to be "younger," and that you were born at such a time as to have been cognizant of the "Drummond' films when such were newly-released features in cinemas, meaning you were at least a child in the 1940s (and about 75 years of age now). If that is not the case, you are also part of the "younger ones" who would only know of the "Drummond' films from the perspective of hindsight, meaning you first watched them on either television or as home video re-releases.
If there was any major oversight in my previous post about Miss Angel, it is my neglect to mention she was the voice of "Mary Darling" in Walt Disney's "Peter Pan" (1953), which would be a major point in any actor or actress' film biography, as Disney films then were a worldwide phenomena.
I should also have mentioned Miss Angel portrayed a recurring character (1964-65) in the ABC prime-time soap opera "Peyton Place," based on the novel by Grace Metalious, the series effectively launched the careers of actress Mia Farrow and actor Ryan O'Neal.
Miss Angel also portrayed Margaret Gates Wallace, mother in-law of President Harry S. Truman, in the 1979 NBC television mini-series "Backstairs at the White House." It was the final role of Miss Angel, also her last high-profile role, since Miss Angel's final cinematic releases ("Gone with the West" and "Premature Burial") were not widely seen; "West" never distributed in theaters, "Burial" an American International Picture (AIP) release directed by cult auteur Roger Corman and seen mainly in drive-in and smaller cinematic venues.
Which character did Ms Angel play in "Premature Burial"? Was it the "sister"? I have watched most all of the old AI movies with Price, Rathbone, Lorre in them. I do remember "Mrs Faversham" as I was a pre-teen during FA's run.
RIP Heather Angel
Kathy Garver as Cissy.
I actually didn't think I would like this at first but it turned out to be a very fun movie. It went by so quickly and before I knew it, it was over. I really liked the ending.
The ending is great and surprising.
Same here I stop it about 5,6 times but I has to know how it ended, jolly ho old boy 😊👏👏👏👏
The ending has a touch of 'Dangerous Corner (1934) to it. Problems, then a surprise ending.
Totally loved it!😁
Thank you for this romp👍
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you!
These movies are spectacular - thank you.
Splendid stuff, the Passing of the Third Floor Back meets Brian Rix - all those doors!
Really enjoyable movie, wish there were more like this one. Loved the ending:))
Good story & Good actors! This film deserves to be upgraded ~
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE. they don’t make em like this anymore.
Turhan Bey as Ram Singh and Miles Mander as Tom Armitage. Mander was a man of many talents - character actor, also a film director and producer, and a playwright and novelist. His first wife was Pratibha Devi, a princess of Cooch Behar. She was the daughter of Maharaja Nripendra Narayanand Maharani Suniti Devi of Cooch Behar and paternal aunt of Gayatri Devi, Maharani of Jaipur.
Turhan Bey was an Austrian-born actor of Turkish and Czech-Jewish origins. Turhan was active in Hollywood from 1941 to 1953. He was dubbed "The Turkish Delight" by his fans.
thanks.....This IS a rather nifty and tidy mystery 'who done it', with an O'Henry-esque ending.
.
Great movie thanks for posting. surprised at the end!
Not a bad movie. I was very surprised by the ending. Glad I saw this.
Thanks so much! I really enjoyed this!!
Wonderful story and I liked the odd way it ended.:)
This is a great movie! There was some humor, lots of mystery, and a great ending! I was pleasantly surprised! 😊
GREAT ENDING! Not gonna say what it is and spoil it for someone.
@Cat Magic .. Exactly why they are films that are made with out knowing or being told how it will run -
Thank you for Yo consideration, un-like other spoilers -
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I was going to watch an old film one evening, all set with my cup of tea and muffin (lol!) and my eyes just glanced at the VERY FIRST LINE OF THE VERY FIRST COMMENT.......a woman actually TOLD WHO THE MURDERER WAS AND SAID “I was so surprised that it was (name of murderer)!!!! 🤬😡🤯😳 ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Had to find another flick.......it’s fairly easy on you tube! But Geeze ya know?!?
God bless and keep you free from harm, in Jesus’s Name.....AMEN! 🕊💖✝️✡️🙏🙋♀️🌟
Yes the ending is superb the way she changes into a ventriloquist dummy and kills the man from outer space 🤡🌬💨👽🛸
Thanks, blockmasterscott, for NOT doing that and spoiling it for, nearly, EVERYONE! I really appreciate it. Really!
I have made up my mind not to watch any movie if it was made after the 1940`s......thanks for this old gem.....
A fun & light story. Love the ending! Thank you so much.
The police stop in the middle of questioning to find out the racing results. LOL
Thank you for another wonderful movie. I really enjoyed it. I am so glad I discovered this channel🇵🇰

Enjoyable. I like it ...
Thanks for posting.
Love the old movies . Some of them I watched when I was a child x
This movie was quite fun. Took a while to get into the swing of things and realise that this was a comedy,and at the end to realise, uh, well I won't spoil it for you!
Great twist at the end..thanks.
Jonathan, I could not have said it better. Old movies ARE the best.
An interesting story and yes the ending was surprising. Nice english black & white film. At first I thought it was a triller.
that was great, so fun to watch! thank you
Thank you, no TV for me!
No soup for me!
Touche!
I STOPPED Watching, Tel-a-lie-vision back in 2013, and I don't even Miss the darn thing/ ^^^@Mary Wilder -

"it's as plain as the nose on your face - and nothing could be any plainer than that"
thanks very much for uploading this >... great film!
I never realized how many movies I didn’t know existed…
Thanks!
What a fun little movie with an interesting ending.
Thank you once again
Several years ago I saw a show on TV called "Bullfrog Crummond". It was very funny. Part of it was presented in a stage play format, we the viewers are at the very back of the stage looking out to the audience. I've tried to find it but no luck so far. I remember I really enjoyed it.
Gwen, are you sure about that name? It couldn't have been Bulldog Drummond, could it? Just checking.
That's what I thought.
This was fantastic thank you
Another good movie even the 2nd time around.
Great story! Surprise ending! Wonderful!
If everyone's room key opens everyone else's door then why bother with keys at all.
Good Movie. Enjoyed the actors.
Miles Lander and Paul Cavanagh were in a couple of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films.
I'm back for another go around, need my PizzaFlix
That was a hell of a fall down them steps, but that flip at the bottom step had me Rollin'😂😂😂
YOLANDA JONES,
WHAT ABOUT THAT BOUNCE BEFORE HE LAID FLAT.
THAT WAS SOME FALL & BOUNCE.
REWIND IT 3 TIMES TO WATCH HIM FALL DOWN THOSE STAIRS.
WONDER IF GOT PAID EXTRA FOR THAT ?
BLOOPER! The stair's railing had just been demolished when Bromilow & Singh crashed through it, but when that injured guy fell down the stairs, the railing was intact.
Pretty good 👍 rainy afternoon viewing. 👀
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
thanks for sharing
This is my 2cd time around in the past 5 months . This movie is just as good as the first 2x I watched it 🙂
Did you expect it to be different?🤔
oldie but a goodie :)
People back then had class
In real life too.
I love a good black and white movie.
ME TOO.
That might be my favorite classic whodunnit ... Hitchcock made some that weren't too shaggy either though! Gets better everytime I watch it!!
Her mother told her what??? Not to play with Gypsys...in the woods...she shouldn't be playing in the woods at all!!! Has she not heard of a werewolf, a vampire, or Jason Vorheys 😂😂😂
.....or even nancy pelosi?.........”lions and tigers and bears. oh my?”.......
LOL!

The old movies are the best. More intertaining.

Frieda, Paul and Heather all starred in the 1940 Pride and Prejudice.
RIP Heather Angel and Frieda Inescort
nice choices, thanks.
This was really good. I enjoyed this film.
Looking forward to watching this movie. I love the older b n w movies when acting was acting. Ty 🍕 flix
Turhan Bey was 19 years old at the time of this film.
how profound.
'The Turkish delight' as he was called.
At 5:22, a closeup shows they drew his mustache on . . . very curious ???
Right, JR. This movie is reported to be the first for Turhan Bey. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turhan_Bey://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turhan_Bey
a true feel good movie great film
Wonderful xx
Very good!
LINDA BROWN not
Loved this movie!
Excellent
Very good four Star extremely interesting they make great movies back in
A couple of those actors were regulars in Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce,Sherlock Holmes.
Nice little twist in the end.Explains the over reacting of some caracters.
Forever a fan of the Queen 🇬🇧FRIEDA INESCORT🇬🇧 . Also star in "PRIDE &, PREJUDICE". rip
Totally surprised by the ending!!!!
I love the phrase they say "I'm sure" i might start using it.
What a posh boarding 🏠
Wonderful movie.
Enjoyed this, liked the ending. Just a question about the Inspector, The actor"s name is Lumsden Hare, Ive never heard of that name? Any British out there that can enlighten me ...Is Lumsden a common name?
Good old oldies much better then today's rubbish films.
Peter Goddard You are so right! I watched modern movies like Ladybird, Alone (2020 - the one about a woman kidnapped by a man), Shape of Water, American Hustle, A Star is Born, La La Land, Star Wars franchise and all those Superheroes movies, and felt cheated or lulled to sleep. I end up wanting to rewatch Gone w the wind, Lady Vanishes, Top Hat, Sound of Music, All About Eve for the 100th time!
I AGREE
Great ending!!!
GreatDayEveryone the ending made me smile
Interesting movie with a great cast, but very confusing. It takes forever to spell out the plot. In fact, we don't know until practically the end what the story is about.
It's called a mystery or maybe a who dunnit! If you "knew" the outcome, why watch?!
@@michaelwertzy9808" rigmarolesque".
Wonderful.
Awesome!!!!
I thought I figured it all out, but...
Just who and how was the banister repaired so quickly? :-)
