- Stars: Faye Emerson, Julie Bishop, and Jackie Gleason
Director: Robert Florey
An actress gets mixed up with a criminal gang and winds up taking the rap for a $40,000 robbery. Before she's sent to prison.
Wow. Jackie C. Gleason as a young hood. Good flick.
I did like it very much...Well, nothing match those "oldies"....Thank you!
That thug posing as a dame..
We can hold her indefinitely unless she gets a lawyer who knows her rights. What!!!
In the days before the Miranda act
Many parts of this movie are absurdly unrealistic. Still, the story is compelling and well worth an hour.
She is stunning. Never heard of her before this.
Who'd of guessed the inside of women's prisons are like giant living rooms, complete with knitting, radios and ironing! Nothing like giving convicted killers knitting needles and scalding irons in the general population. I am not so sure the writers did their homework on this one. The girl seems a little too smug and sure of herself to be believable. This is a classic example of an old B movie. I like old movies but found myself skipping ahead on this one. Still glad it was available to discover. Thank you for the post.
Good movie, even with the plot holes. An inmate read the lips of our protagonist when she had a visitor, except she had her back to the lip reader the entire time.
Life during wartime: she's a bank robber, attempted murderer, but a real swell gal!
About the dog being dropped: this dog would be 72 yrs old now or 504 in dog years. I don't think the dog cares any more.
Kay - That's not the point.
That's half as old as Master Yoda.
So much for the disclaimer, "No animals were harmed" in the making of this movie
I love seeing Jackie gleason his part was great
Mr.Brewster, newspaper guy, is from Beverly Hillbillies, the guy who represented the oil company whom paid Jed.
Reginald Erb Wasn't the Btewster newspaper guy in the old Blondie and Dagwood Series???
Good catch.
I spent the whole film trying to remember where I knew him from.... Thx!
Teresa S ...I was doing the same thing.
Nice film, thank you.
I always sift through the wits of our planet before I settle in to a film.
Reading the comment(s) on the "runningamokwithaknife" line, meant nothing to me, until it came up in the dialogue in the film. My first thought was Spyro Agnew, Nixon, and that crowd long ago !! Especially Agnew. It gave me the best laugh I've had in months !!
I have this strange desire to run a muck...calling all cars... and away we go...love these flicks
a muck?
@@jonhohensee3258 Amok.
@@-oiiio-3993 - I already knew that, goofball.
Pretty weird prison....curtains in the windows....girls have freedom to do as they please....
nothing like a real old movie they don't really make um like that anymore.
When all those old cars were new. The getaway car could really move. Liked that spare tire on the drivers side. Easy access.
JimStokes yeah, both the getaway & the cop's cars were practically on 2 wheels taking that corner without even slowing down !
veoma - What a cliche'. Yawn.
@Robert Gardea ??
very enjoyable,thanks a lot for sharing this film
Wow...Jackie C. Gleason as a gangster & William Tanner w/ black hair, no less!
Bill Larstead William Hopper aka Paul drake
Ikr? Lol
faye emerson was great. what a girl.
Amen to that brother
"Every morn I sing this song so nothing with me can be wrong.
My breakfast, lunch I dine each day on money bread;
So I'm okay."
I love the poem she recites at the end.
You’re a big dummy
Enjoyable even with the giant plot holes... starting with : why did she suddenly confess, thus sending herself to prison, when she had already snowed her old buddy to believe she was innocent..
my gosh that's 'paul drake'--bill hopper!! wow he sure had coal black hair before it became handsome silver.
Faye Emerson, the lady gangster, later advertised refrigerators on TV.
Jim Stokes she's my aunt and my ill sister and daughter look and speak just like her
Love watching old gangster movies..
I love old gangster, prison flicks. Movies with Women in the clink, are the most, amusing and interesting. LOL, but I have to admit, when the sister turned out to be that dude, I nearly blew my super! Surprise! LOL! 😆
Am i the only 30yr old that watches black n white movies?
Well I'm 47 born in 77. And 7 nights a week I watch either 1930s films or the film noirs of 1940s and 50s. The 1930s are constantly considered the greatest decade of Hollywood film. The talent pool was EPIC in size.
What happened to ' Tiny Boots ' ?
I would love to have a maid even for a couple of months.
You're all right, PizzaFace. Thanks for all the good old films.

Hehehe, that bank guard dropped that gangster-dog!
He was such a precious dog!
Fucking dog 🐕 didn't even make a sound.
Hi u
4:09 That is Jackie Gleason!
Mr.Brewster, newspaper guy, is from Beverly Hillbillies, the guy who represented the oil company whom paid Jed.
No YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY 30YROLD THAT LOVES BLK AND WHT! I HAVE LOVED THEM FOREVER, THERE IS A SPECIAL QUALITY THAT COMES ACCROSS KEEP ON KEEPIN ON THE FLICKS😅 ELLE😊
i love old noir gangasters movies
I love these fake newspapers created for movies. There must have been a time warp - in this 1942 film, the article "New French Cabinet Approved by Deputies" seen at 8:33 was in the New York Times on December 23, 1932! Hmm.. maybe this paper decided to print random wire articles on their 10th anniversary.
That little seemingly insignificant detail is actually very important! It tells us when the movie was suppose to be set!! Which makes perfect sence. The dirty 30s and at the height of the rural outlaw bank robbing gangsters. Like the gang she was part of! I figured that much already but its lovely to have that confirmed!! Good eye mon ami!
Jackie Gleason plays the driver of the getaway car. Actress in prison at 37:10 was the maid in LAURA.
"I feel sorry for people that don't drink. They wake up in the morning, and that's the best they're going to feel all day." - Jackie Gleason.
Also recognized a woman who played in Night of the Iguana.
Who Dat?
when they get in the car, he should yell, and away we go!!
Bang! Zoom!
This is a remake of the Barbara Stanwyck movie " ladies they talk about " 1933...and its much better!!!
Yes. I recognized the scene where she was wanting to get into the bank at the beginning...
Do you know what I say see my lawyer Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah.
The Stanwyck version is much better is what i meant to say.
so, at the bank she is a Mrs. but her boyfriend, gave her the puppy.
ldlnat I heard that to! She was just being honest.
I heard that prison got condemned . The whole building was full of cracks!
William Hopper Paul Drake
I HATE TO SEE A DAME GET MIXED UP IN A GIG LIKE THIS...LOL
Frank Wilcpx (Beecher Asbury from The Untouchables) kicks ass in this one!
Ruth Ford played Faye Emerson's pal in the prison. Ford worked with Orson Welles's Mercury Theater and was married to Zachary Scott. They had a child. He played bad guy roles. They did not divorce. He died in 1965. Her apartment in the Dakota in Manhattan became a salon for writers, artists, and musicians. Visitors included Edward Albee, Truman Capote, and Tennessee Williams.
Ann Sheridan convinced Faye Emerson to bleach her hair blonde. She had 3 husbands including FDR's son Elliot. They had 2 children. She was a panelist on What's My Line. After divorcing Elliot she married Skitch Henderson who was Johnny Carson's band leader. She had a total of 3 children.
I wonder if Kubrick saw this; the way this film sets up the lip-reading sequences reminds me of his setups for Hal to read the astronauts' lips in "2001."
Jacki Gleason the get away driver
Perry Masons Private investigator also- great movie
good eye Jim
My Grandpa looked like the actor who played Ken. He was handsome and always wore a hat and a suit.
I was 7 when my Grandpa died he still looks after me, I've seen him. Sounds crazy I know. But its true 😊
It's not true.
@California Dreamin - I know all, peck.
@California Dreamin - Please stop flirting with me.
@California Dreamin - No means no.
Fanatic classic movie
Thanks for the upload PizzaFlix
Ed
Calling all cars calling all cars... your paychecks are here at quitting time... out.
I truly enjoy these old movies are they from film or did you get a DVD or something?
Paul Drake at the beginning....love it
DeWolf Hopper?, oh yeah, i see why he, his agent or some studio executive changed it to William.
This was pretty good. cute!
This was a really good movie. There were a couple of plot twists that caught me totally off guard. Lots of action, too. In the beginning that was a very young "Paul Drake" from the Perry Mason show. But the character that made me want to reach into the screen and slap her was that snoopy woman that did nothing but try to get other people in trouble. I remember girls like her when I was in grade school, always spreading gossip and causing fights. For some reason people like that get their kicks seeing other people suffer. Some kind of ego problem.
@California Dreamin Oh, yeah. I've been in jail and they don't like snitches.
No music credits, which is unusual. Full orchestra, too. Web source credited William Lava for music. He later supplied cartoon music, like THE FLINTSTONES. He was originally from Minneapolis. Had to get out of town to become famous.
That was Hoyt Curtin who wrote the music for Hanna-Barbera.
Lol; the first scene, phone call to the Police reporting “A man with a knife, running amuck!” - and suddenly Monty Python is running through My Mind… “Amuck, amuck, amuck!”
😂😂😂😆😄
all them gangster chicks sitting around in prison knitting. haha. i ve seen everything now.
LOL
How is it that the criminal can call the shots, tell the lawyer and matron and everyone else what to do..go figure
And a way we go
movie and music so great what happened to Hollywood all the great jews died and took all the great white actors to heaven with them
The bus driver is driving a car. He had s small part here. And where's the sewer man?
the dame on the left is sweet
I'm going to send you to the moon alice
Bang Zoom!
Isn't that Hopper? Paul Drake of Perry Mason before they bleached him blonde?
All that Greig for $40 g's.
I told you one two three a thousand times
good movie. not really film noir. the cinematographer or lighting director were not very artsy.
They make stair railings better nowadays.
One of the matrons' name is Mrs. Stoner! LOL
"i'll never want a parole if anything happens to ken"
?
snitch
I saw my brother
jumps the fence
all summer
Running amok!
Running amock like a schmuck lol
amok
Love it thank you
What the hell happened to the dog?
That woman's a criminal. lol!
read my lips
I Love ❤ Bad girls😃
The American Dream circa 1950's: What happened to mediocre actors:! Faye Emerson goes on the new media of Television in the early 1950. Frankly it was difficult to watch her age and see her various bad face lifts in black/ white on a state-of- the- art TV in the early 50's. She must of 'done' the right folks within the media hierarchy to have a second life.
The lady in the bank reminds me of Nicole Brown O.J 's wife.
A young Paul Drake from Perry Mason! Lol
"If she spills the beans on that money, it's to the moon with her, to the mooon!!!". Jackie Gleason's thug line.
I've always liked classic prison movies but the men classic prison moves are better because they try to break out
For those who liked the Honeymooners look for Jackie Gleason
Ed
Gleason was driving the car in an early scene.
Running amuck!
I say it does
Loved it!
William Hopper from Perry Mason fame. I wonder why all the prison personnel are grandma type people?
They tended to be tougher than the inmates.
I know, - and every time I see a man and wife, it's
the same; he's around 60 and she's just out of highschool. I wonder why too.
👍
Very good movie💕
Soooooo phony.
When the bank is robbed in the beginning of the film, the guard just drops the dog to the floor! Where were all of the animal rights activists then? Wait...this was the 1940's and no one gave two shits about animal rights or abuse.
well your wrong, the producers were and still are under the microscope when they use animals.and besides that dog went to the ground feet first.. they jump higher than that and if they thought that dog would have been hurt it would have never been filmed. the fines back then could break a movie...you know those chase scenes in the old cowboy movies when they are rnning the horses thru the open fields at wide open pace. before they could do that every inch of the ground had to be walked and checked for holes rocks anything that could cause a horse to hurt itself. and that was back as far as the early 30s..
Can you cite rules or regulations that were in existence as you claim? Thank you. By the way, the correct word to use is you're, not your.
Michael Mantle I don't think dropping a dog a few feet is animal abuse and who even knows what was on the floor? Maybe it was a pillow down there
Michael Mantle Oh, brother! A grammarian, are you!! As well as everything else. Give it a rest.
