I absolutely agree. As a matter of fact, I have been watching lately Alan Ladd films. They are very very much better than the new ones, even those who are not so good.
Enjoyable flick with a good solid storyline. Strayer was an interesting director, only wish he’d done more. This is a pretty good one for decor and clothes, on a realistic level. Thanks, PizzaFlix! :)
Wonderful old film with breezy, witty dialogue, and it keeps you guessing. Never mind that the police act completely against all logic by letting the amateurs take over, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it held my interest from start to finish. My favorite line: "I'll pick you up tomorrow in my roadster. We'll go places and drink things!"
Muriel was played by the lovely smart aleck Iris Adrien. She was one of the few who survived the transition from silent to talkies. Her career lasted 60 years and she was in 143 production. Another golden age Hollywood gem. RIP Iris.
I love looking at those beautiful dresses. I designed several dresses and sewed them and wore them to formal occasions. Was complemented . That was twenty years ago, and I haven't made any dresses since the last formal. I miss dressing up and having someplace to go and dance.
I'm showing my age, when I prefer the classics to the modern! My grands don't understand but, I don't care for theirs either! Awwww.... the good old days... (only regarding tv & radio series)! Thank you for the memories!
EEveryone needs to be appreciated before it’s too late. We can’t waste time with someone or someplace that doesn’t care about us. AND I remember a quote I heard....... “Timing is everything”
I saw this movie a year ago and again about Six months ago. I'm watching it for the third time now, and still don't remember the ending. I know there were several murders.
I feel the same about the black and white movies. For me they're my comfort zone, mysafe place. I search Turner Classic Movies lineup for the black and white movies then I program my TV
I just looked at a list of 50 best movies of 2020 and top 13, thus far, of 2021. I was like "huh?". Never heard of any of them, have no idea what they were about. I haven't been to a movie theater for a long time. I can't remember when, where, or what I saw. I think film industry is in big trouble. I watch some recent films online. "Yesterday" is very good.
LUV my FAV genre of films, B&W! But, how can U HATE modern films if U haven't taken the time to really experience the ones that DESERVE to be experienced?
Thank you for all the wonderful movies that you post. Not sure if you bought an old CD with old movies from the 30s or how you acquired These fine movies, but again thanks for posting them. PEACE ! ⚫⚫✌✌👍👍
Absolutely hysterical how all the amateurs handle the clues, thereby rubbing off fingerprints, and the detectives just look on doing nothing. So outrageous and against all police investigating procedure.
What the heck happened to Jane?! When she was first introduced she was dignified and demure. Then the next day after the party she was completely different-bold and almost brazen! I thought it was a different woman!
No, it's absolutely key to the idea of the P.I. as opposed to the 'official' detective force. They are individuals, loners with their own sense of justice and morality. Sherlock Holmes, Phil Marlowe, Poirot, Miss Marple, Lord Peter Wimsey, Father Brown, Sam Spade et al, all are at some point in the narrative faced with a decision of whether or not to show their hand or allow the police force to continue in their error. Their code allows them, in certain cases, to leave the actual criminal to make their own end rather than face a protracted trial and public 'execution' or in other cases to go free. In this case the victim is a blackmailer, which in the P.I.'s code was often seen as worse than a murderer, she had also sent one man to the asylum and was about to start on his brother. The private detective weighs the murderer and the victim in the scales of his own sense of justice, considers also the situation of those of the family and friends, innocents, who will be dragged into this if the murderer is revealed, warns the murderer that he knows the truth and then leaves the latter to his/her own judgement. If they don't do what he expects then his next step is to go to the official force with the evidence, as per revealed in the final scene of this film. For a classic example of the P.I.'s code see 'The Maltese Falcon' with Bogart's brilliant portrayal of Sam Spade and in particular his final explanation of why he has to send Brigid O'Shaughnessy to prison and possibly to the scaffold.
@@Pavlovafowl You neglect to mention that the blackmail victim was himself a murderer, so Muriel was also administering a kind of justice, especially since she clearly didn't need the money, having received $250,000 from her divorce settlement--over a million in today's money. And by trying to cover the murderer's tracks, Reuben is guilty of obstruction of justice and being an accessory to murder after the fact. If it hadn't been for the butler coming forward with the evidence Reuben tried to hide, Holt never would have figured out who Muriel's killer was. But Reuben's rich and well-connected, so I'm sure he won't do any time.
@@graemesmith6721 That's why the narrative is interesting, although it has been explored many times before. Rather than give a clear cut right vs wrong, early detective stories and later film noir, allowed for individual reasoning. This doesn't preclude the idea that the reader and often the other characters, including the narrator, if any, are bound to agree with the outcome. To me these stories are meant to make us question everything rather than feed us the answers.
Did anyone but me notice that brooch that the 'Jane Maxwell' character wore in the scene at 41:28? And a circle pin at that. Like an advertisement!! LOL!!!
@@aspenrebel sorry if you feel I misunderstood. I agree with you, but if this is what you were expecting. The series would never have happened if it weren’t for W. Powell!!! I just meant that they both worked well together. Trying to agree with out trying to bring out our differences!! If your say she made the series then your certainly welcome to that belief. Did I better answer your question?🤠

Ladies, tell me you wouldn't like to crimp your curls and don a long silky dress, and men, how about a smooth black tux and white tie to accompany your scotch on the rocks? And out on the town we go... How sad today's fashions and sexist pile-up of gender confusion are. Take me back!

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
Thank you P F for yet another treasure of a film 🎥
I always enjoy being your guest 🦋
Superb acting 🎭
Have a wonderful day 🖐😉
I can watch old movies over and over again. But not new ones.
Absolutely correct, I'm exactly the same , x
I absolutely agree. As a matter of fact, I have been watching lately Alan Ladd films. They are very very much better than the new ones, even those who are not so good.
I agree. New ones are no longer an escape. I can lose myself in the old movies. And I desperately need to get lost. lol
Add me to the list. I watch them till I can just listen and know exactly what's going on. Also if they cut one word out of the film!
"We'll go places and drink things."
I definitely have a new favorite movie line!
me too... I laughed out load when I heard that line.
Yes, excellent !! Love lines like that !
Audio so clean! I love these old films! They actually have plots!
Thanks for sharing. I love these old movies. If you find more please upload and Thank you again for sharing.
I love these CLASSIC FILMS.

Another golden age Hollywood gem.
RIP Iris.

AND I remember a quote I heard.......
“Timing is everything”
Was she voted Miss USA in 1928 or 1929?
good film- love the 30's fashions
Love old mysterys.
Love CLASSIC FILM MYSTERIES!
I loved Iris Adrian (Muriel). Catch her as Barbara Stanwyk's best friend in Lady of Burlesque. She was always like a bottle of champagne, all bubbles!
She was in "I killed that man". Strong
She was subdued in "The Stork Club" as the best friend/work mate.
I saw this movie a year ago and again about Six months ago. I'm watching it for the third time now, and still don't remember the ending. I know there were several murders.
Top quality print . Well done Pizza fix .solid storyline.
I AGREE MR.POOLE

Wonderful!
excellent flick... That Muriel is a real number.
She’s mean and greedy
Now where have I seen that ?!
The film is quite good.
Touché sir, Touché
Yes it isYOGI
"I'll get that stuff if I have to break her neck!" Uh-oh. I feel a murder coming on. And it couldn't happen to a nastier girl.
How can I write a book with you around?? hmmmmmmmmm.......THANKS, PizzaFlix...........from the (current) future 30 May 2019! cheers
They don't make movies like this anymore.i don't think they would know how
You're right, they wouldn't know how to do it.
Somewhat happy but yet sad ending
Whose clothes did the side- kick steal? He came to the murder scene in his jammies and left in a suit.
Mike Lucey Took some time for the police to arrive so maybe he changed then.
Good movie kept me guessing!!
great movie
I like seeing. Their. Old. Fashions. And. House. Furniture. Etc. Those. Long. Drapes. ! The rooms with balconies. We should all have. mmmmm. Not !!!
What the heck happened to Jane?! When she was first introduced she was dignified and demure. Then the next day after the party she was completely different-bold and almost brazen! I thought it was a different woman!
There was no party
Sex change operation ?
Very entertaining movie.
Nice work, Pizza man.
I almost solved this one😂 Thanks again for the great whodunit ❤😊
thank you
So the detective lets someone get away with murder because he feels sorry for them? That's a new one!

The world was different in the thirties.
