My dad would have loved this had he still been with us. He used to listen to this on the radio when he was young. RIP dad, I hope you're watching over my shoulder as I watch this :)
I have wondered about this lately. I had always thought that that didn't happen as time has GOT to be different when we die than when we live. However, Hebrews DOES talk about witnesses so maybe you are right. I know we're not supposed to conjure up the dead as that takes God's place (in a way) but I think I'm more on your page these days.
Also I KNOW we are beneath the angels in our current position but we WILL be higher than them in the future. So humans and angels are different from each other. FOR SURE!
I have collected the pc49 books over the years. I read the first one when I was 14. I got it from a jumble sale. Great stuff and proper brit stuff. So dated now but cool never the less.
We have Biggles books, but the children of today are not interested. I am not a Brit, however it doesn't stop me enjoying them. Haven't got PC49 books, they look more in my grandfather's time (poppa to me) he was a policeman with a similar helmet.
The best thing about these old films is how even the lowliest character on the social scale has a really posh accent. Although that has kinda never really changed within British films and TV....
it probably would have been hard work being a PC in those days. ..always walking everywhere. ..in heat or chill... and being always on the alert. Every day all year long.
now dont he look great in his blue uniform n his pointed hat , belt and his bulls eye light , instead we to day have in 2023 scruffy over weight un fit 2ft 6 in tall security gaurds in yellow vests , bring back the bobby uniform
Can't believe the same company Hammer, famous for horror classics and psychological thrillers made this. A curiosity piece of very British quota quickies made on a shoestring.
Have to say it, this one is quite hard to sit through nowadays. But it was a success for Hammer because PC 49 was such a popular character back then, especially with children. Still, it gives an interesting insight into what life was like in those days.
I dunno - its a proper caution innit? Yer goes up ter RADA where they gets yer to talk like Noel Coward dear boy. Well then I got to play this frightfully nice posh chap PC49 who then only bleedin goes undercover to give it all ver patter as a street tough...I tell yer its a proper caution an no mistake, dear boy
the don't give it away twist near end a beaut---well done--except his going back to beat, was ridiculous, he should have moved from beat to detective at close--his girlfriend , a GA was tough sharp on iMMB scaie of 10, give 7.5.
PC49 was a little grainy, but clear enough to watch. The sound was good. The British accent was understandable through most of the movie. The plot was interesting keeping our attention. The Police Copper #49 volunteered to imbed himself with a local gang to bring them down. He learned his part well to do this, being very believable to the gang members. But he had a hurdle to jump and overcome. This was a 1 hour good movie for which we offer thanks to gary170459
PC 49 gave all his energy to noticing the cold, getting his illegal cup of tea and kissing his wife, completely ignoring the direct order by his boss to keep an eye open for exactly the thing that actually happened, completely caught off guard in handling it. Then he had the nerve to ask his superiors if they would mind letting him in on solving it.
My late Brother would have loved this, It was the Radio seros that got hom interested in jpining the police. Or and the fact both of our parents were police officers Ah an I forgot we lived in a police station.
She gives him a drink which he takes with his right hand and gets told off. What nonsense! I'm left handed and regularly drink right handed. Somebody even said about it in the pub thinking I should drink left handed. it depends where I put my glass which hand I use. Then the police smash the cafe window, kick a few panels in before thinking to kick it where it matters. A good film anyway.
You may be ambidextrous, I write left handed, use a fork left handed, use scissors right handed. Play softball right handed and use a glass with both. Brush my teeth with both can tie my shoes both ways. A neurologist told me if I ever had a stroke, the success of healing is greatly increased if a person us ambidextrous.
absolutely amateurish and wooden. No wonder the British film industry at that time was laughed at by the Americans. Personally I love the 50's and later British movies but this particular movie and era I suppose was still in it's infancy and as such the director and actors/actresses had no idea how to act believably. But thank you for posting the movie anyway as the nostalgia of that era always makes me feel good especially when one has experienced the same era as I did.
Police officers of days gone by were a credit to their uniform and same applies today for our boys in blue ever their when needed care and consideration.
+Joseph Landrut yeah,except when they don't honour their oath of office,by taking sides of bogus bailiffs,who arrive at your door,with false paperwork, without wet signature of a jp,rendering the action unlawful.or doing the same about tv licence,or claiming that police don't get involved in civil disputes,then taking sides and threatening to arrest the other party,depending if their face fits,as happened to me over a dispute with my neighbour.the copper threatened to arrest me and he would think of a charge later,pity for him I recorded the threat on tape and am not afraid to use it,if necessary.no,i don't believe they are a credit to their uniform.

I'm sure he is . God rest his soul .
I was born in 1942 , and would listen in to dear old PC 49 with my beloved father Frederick Walter Stevens. Thanks for everything DAD.

Yes I can remember PC 49
This is better than the new movies, great actors and actresses, great story and you don't need a big budget to make great movies.

no multi million cgi budget no 25person makeup squad just great plot and acting
Great old English drama , I love the old English classics ! Thank you for sharing with the fans
New to me, so much of the kind of stuff I like, thank you.
Excellent stuff! A real little UA-cam gem 😊 Thank you!
Remember my Mum mentioned pc 49 in some joke she cracked. Good British drama thank you.
it probably would have been hard work
being a PC in those days. ..always walking everywhere. ..in heat or chill... and being always on the alert.
Every day all year long.
Great,rember my dad telling me about this film,never mind film noir, god just think of my Dad,god bless him
A bloody good film enjoyed it very much
Wonderful! Grand old production from the days of my youth. Thank you so much.
"Please sir, may I have some more?" many, many more British films, they are great!
Thank you.
Steven Grotte best of British.✌
Here, here ...
Yeah I second it. Please more British films
Surprisingly tense. A great way to pass an hour with these old movies. Watch and enjoy, despite the poor quality.
now dont he look great in his blue uniform n his pointed hat , belt and his bulls eye light , instead we to day have in 2023 scruffy over weight un fit 2ft 6 in tall security gaurds in yellow vests , bring back the bobby uniform
Second time watching this one; enjoyed it!
Thank-You!!
Ì used to listen to this when I lived with my grandparents
When I was 7 in 1950 I changed comics from the Beano to the Eagle and PC 49 was on the back page. After Dan Dare on the front, PC 49 was favourite.
You are a fine chap.......
Enjoy your retirement !
I followed you 1 year later.
This aired when I was a baby.

PC 49 was in the Eagle every week. I got to read it for free on my paper round.
anonov1 and he was on the steam radio, played by Brian Reese
Love these films, thanks for putting it on to enjoy
I say chaps , PCs were terribly posh in those days
+edgware9 You're nicked chummy
Yes, quite so!
He certainly made a meal out of that cup of coffee!
just watched it....... I'm now going to watch some more :-) I do belive I quite like it........ By George!!!!!!! :-)
I'm sure I would have loved this when I was ten. Great show for a saturday afternoon.
I love British movies
Great Movie. Oldie but a Goodie.
The department should have both of them on the force.
She puts up a real good scrap.
WOW IM HOOKED-ITS BRITAIN BEFORE ALL THIS MESS
What an old Hammer treasure to find here! Thanks much. ;)
Brilliant, let’s have some more
Very enjoyable. Michael Ripper's first of many Hammer film appearences, a great scene stealer.Thanks for posting.
The policeman on our beat knew us all by name; had a cuppa with my aunt and got all the gossip.
crikey chums they have shooters get on the horn and tell the sarge I,ll keep an eye on this lot mmmm I smell trouble !!!
It feels like a 1930s film really, but it's surprisingly engrossing
But 1930's movies were great mostly. 😊

Pity they cant to a remake of the Sweeney starring Noel Coward as Inspector Reagan
with DCI Haskins played by Prince Charles, with Kenneth Williams as Reggie Kray & Charles Haughtrey
as Ronnie. Epic!
Kiani Francis
What the.......?
The Krays were twins, so Kenneth Williams should play both, ducky.
Let Hawtrey play Mrs. Kray, their mother.
You sir, are a fucking genius!!
Wonderful: * * * * *'s for EVERYTHING & EVERYBODY. Many thanks for sharing this gem.

I remember this character from my Eagle comic book.
The plot's OK, but most of the acting is pretty amateurish
pc 49 should be facing a charge for littering,because he screwed the tin foil swan ,up and threw it on the ground tut tut.
...oh dear,violence against Nurses way back then ( 39.38 minute mark ...😢
Why was he wearing a Victorian coppers uniform.....?
I watched this as a nipper along with Dan Dare also listend to Riders of the Range

Your blaming Italian immigrants for Islamic knife crimes is pretty funny.

Oooh i say........jolly good show.......what !
👍 story in a fine clear print 😀
Back when policemen were smart no tattoos, and were proper coppers
OMG, there is young Michael Ripper in this movie!...
If Lee Van Cleef was the 'Best of the bad, Michael Ripper was the 'Dodgiest of the dodgy'........
In my opinion there are good British pictures and there are boring British pics, just like in America.
I remember it in the eagle comic 1950s
A GREAT FILM, I LOVED IT. THANK YOU 💋💋👍👍
Superrb.
Good on PC 49, packing Joan off on her own on a cold dark night.

Just so much to the black and white movies, atmosphere or whatever, they resonate with me. Thank you.😊
These are good, but could be even better if they were unscaled. Ok on a small screen, but very blurry on a big TV.
