Leslie Fenton was actually English and moved to the US when he was a young boy. However, at the outbreak of WWII, he returned to England with his wife, (Hollywood star Ann Dvorak) and he enlisted in the Royal Navy. He took part in the commando raid on St Nazaire in 1942, one of the mot daring raids of the entire war in which 5 Victoria Crosses were awarded. Fenton was a commander of one of the flimsy motor launches sent in to try and evacuate the commandos and he was wounded in the action He survived and out of the 612 men that took part in the action, he was one of only 228 that made it back to England. He returned to Hollywood after the war, but more as a director rather than an actor. Most actors only play heroes. He was a real hero.
Thanks🌹
Thank you so much for this information! That reminds me of Leslie Howard heroism in WW ll. I love it!!

Wow, thank you for this.
Thank you for amazing old movies. It’s rather refreshing to watch a movie without computers, cellphones.
and extreme gratuitous violence, computer-generated-graphics, and a musical score drowning out conversations
I use technology to watch, or isn't that what you meant?
@@charlottecampbell4327 Try comedies? Maybe not r rated?
Oh, I love it! A mystery, bad guys, crazy people, lords and ladies, pirates, romance, and hidden treasure. What more could you ask for?
Hugh Jackman. Well, you asked.
@@OrangeTabbyCat LOL!
Share of the loot to the lucky viewer! 🤣😅
Muriel Evans ...oh ya , she was in it too !
The quality if the video and audio of this 84 year old film is amazing.
Thanks for posting this gem. Back then actors could deliver lines in rapid fashion, clearly annunciated in perfect English. Those were the days of clever writing of tight scripts played by superbly trained actors under able direction.
I've always liked the style & tailoring of the men's & women's wardrobes in these old films, especially those from the 1930's. Everybody looked 'nice' - - even when they weren't. lol
Agreed.
There is a reason for that!.....Times were different then,....it was a totally different era and society,...today are different times , not necessarily better in fact....worse. Woman were elegant, sexy, and looked like woman,...there was very little obesity, tatoos were mainly for sailors and woman drove station wagons instead of pickups. But.....this is what we have today,...and the good news is that ......it's going to get worse!.
Armando I could bet you are male.
@@armando6565 Yes, Armando, it's going to get worse!!! Sighhhh!!!
@@armando6565 that's good news?
ONE THING that hasn't been mentioned: the ACTING and the SCRIPT never seemed hackneyed as so many "poverty row" films tended to be. These were fine actors and it was believably performed considering the style of that period, which I have come to love. ♥♥♥♥
So, Barry and Julie fall in love, even though Julie knows basically nothing about him, and she's done nothing but lie and be evasive to him. Gotta love Hollywood romance.
The reason for the poor night scenes was they didn't have the film and cameras like they had years later. Thanks for showing an old film from the past. You never disappoint.
Yes, but ALL through the Age of Hollywood, people would forgive a great DEAL of Artificial lighting, if it meant they could SEE what was happening! And Hollywood also took a swing at literally filming in daylight and expecting audiences to know by the actors' COMMENTS that it was "supposed to be" night time. Some of us who were younger them would poke fun at it - until we saw the older ones filmed in pitch black and we appreciated a little light on the subject.
We know it was hard for the directors, both ways.
But being blinded by Blackness, and the Dialogue not giving us the INFO the way they would do on radio mysteries....
@@anombrerose6311 They filmed in daylight with a filter so audiences knew it was supposed to be night.
@@653j521 True for outdoor action, especially westerns, but indoors, they used lighting to keep it from being pitch black, much the same effect.
Especially when they were using kerosene lamps for the excuse, yet the Lamp light wasn't as it Naturally is - but though I noticed such things, I was still glad to be able to see, and I never minded, because that just isn't an easy thing to deal with. But the best was definitely the filter over real sunlight, outside.
Though it was "interesting" when it was supposedly so dark they couldn't see eachother, but we could see them all very very well. We'd have to tell the younger kids why the good guy couldn't see the bad guy "Right There" under his nose! LOL!
@@anombrerose6311 Saw that in some of the Gunsmoke episodes from the fifties I watched.
Lovely old mystery in super quality, with allowances for age. Gosh she is lovely!
For a 1936 movie the picture quality was excellent.
John Baginski i wonder what the oldest black and white talking movie is. And what is the name of it. I saw plenty of silent movies made before 1920. I love those too
very right sir.. not only the pic quality but also the story.. love old movies much better than the new ones who are full of violence, yucky bloody murders, cannibals, zombies etc... old movies are healthy to minds with good moral lessons as well and most of the time they make me cry so much lol
@@ChildofGodforevr The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolsen famous for the song Mammie which he sings in the movie.
@@maritesangeles9955 Amen! Back in the day when everyone had a healthy respect and reverence for God and they were entirely obedient to God, even the evil and wicked people knew they were evil and wicked, and what the consequences of their perditious ways were leading them towards: eternal damnation.
Sheri Stewart You most certainly need a therapist.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
It is not the mere moments, but ourselves in them, whom we so artfully elude.
To catch ourselves, by Jove!
Neither could we..nor should we.
No past no future...just the moment.
Great quote! And true. As an elderly woman it also seems as the people I know die at an alarming rate it also seems like death is the real status of being and not this shadow called life.
Bravo Sameold, well quoted.
@@suetipping4841 wow this is correct. Me as a Muslim my whole life is preparing for death. To make sure I have enough good deeds and rewards so that when death finally comes I can succeed. Death is merely a door way to our everlasting life.
"I'll trouble you to put your hands in the air." The bad guys are so polite.
Had to be a British actor...
You're so diplomatic...
I thought they'd gone to the other end of the spectrum remember Julius Caesar said that they were just unbelievably bad...lol
Took him forever to conquer them.
Notice at the beginning it's a Chesterfield productions...
Wonder if it's the cigarette company in the south?
The Brits are so polite.
@@Barbarra63297 We try but I like good manners😊
Hahaa! Indubitably!
For some reason I can't get over how they switched the chairs around in his room between the first and second shots. Very stylish chairs. Nice film.
They had that joke about Queen Anne's legs...
They are distinctive and they had to have that joke. After the joke was done they probably had to return it Queen Anne
(They were renting it)
Lol
I noticed that too and all the lamps were nice too.
I noticed the switched chairs too! Housekeeping just isn't what it used to be in Hotels... those clunky vacuums...you had to move the furniture. Hee Hee! Right?
The director or film editor missed it or just thought, budget, budget, budget, what the heck!
The old chairswitch! The butler did it.
You noticed that too?
Art deco chairs, lamp, and table. :) In American or British movies of this era, art deco was usually only shown in hotels, penthouses, and swanky nightclubs. While many like it today, in its own time it wasn't very popular. People might have an item or two but not do up a whole room that way. Interior designers practically sneered at it as cheap manufactured goods. France is where many of our art deco antiques come from now.
@k thanks for the interesting facts
Very good, I enjoyed it! I love the suits (with vests!), the crisply folded breastpocket hankies, and fedora hats! Maybe crooks were just as crooked then, but they seemed so polite! 😉 Thank you.
well they still dress nice, but now we call them Senator and Judge and FBI Agent......
@@dave-in-nj9393 LMHO!
And smoking, how I loved smoking!
Yes, amazingly polite... Even when they say things like keep your trap shut, before I pump you full of lead! LOL
@@naguerea Yeah, but the never actually f
A great old movie, held one in suspense until unfolded towards the end. Great quality in acting and of the film itself.
So finally a day off and decide to watch this film. Another great pic PF. Kind of an odd looking lead man in Fenton but likable and Muriel a great beauty and screen presence.
Good cast and interesting plot, could not figure out what was going on. Blackmer a favorite of mine as well as Morgan Wallace - both have a powerful screen presence and convincing in any part they play. The Brits always come across as genuine.
Good guy gets the girl and a happy ending never a bad deal.
Thanks PF
Wouldn't it have been easy if the Home Secretary had politely asked Barry if he could rent the house for 6 months and offered a handsome amount.
Right, then it could have been a ten minute movie instead of an hour and ten. Brilliant
When has any Governmental agency anyplace in the world taken the easy road out of a problem?
Thank You! I may not be British, but.. . having watched more than my share of amazing, clever, brilliant, funny.....the adjectives could go on forever, British shows, the most simple solution is to pay the guy for the use of the house.....said my piece. 🙃😎
Rather unbelievable especially how Scotland Yard handled it all...but hey enjoyable in a strange way...ha ha love the old movies the furniture and the clothes are great to see and thanks for supplying us with them :)
Good evening from Portugal !
Thank you very much !
Muito obrigado !
Ah... The good old movies !!!
😍❤️
What a fantastic movie! Some mystery. It was preserved so well, really good picture qualify! 1936.
Some good lines too. " Take a look at that. He signed my obidient servant, and he commands me to his office!"
It always cracks me up when there’s an uppity old woman who screams “Henryyyyyy” in a high pitched voice. I find myself copying her and laughing. Hubby’s like “who’s Henry and why are u calling for him”? That alone made me laugh so hard I can’t stop. And I still can’t stop saying Henryyyyyyy. 😂😂😂😂😂😊😂😂😂😂😂😂
Elisabeth I agree 😍😍heeeennnrrryyy!!!lol
Elisabeth get a grip 😂
"Henryyyyyy" was used as the opening for The Aldrich Family show.
See "Mr. Hulot's Holiday"
😂
How can they have intruders into the house, go down a secret set of stairs and then act like nothing is going on?
I love these movies because men were men, women were women. There's no sex scenes, it showed how people struggled to survive, also proved that people can pull together and help each other out. You can learn a lot from an old movie. Thank you, Music Man Bobby Stewart 🎧😎🇨🇦
I can't stand tv today and don't watch it. But you can't tear me away from these old black and white films from the 30"s - 50's, I love them! The fashions were wonderful and the styles unforgettable. I love the way they talk, so different than today.
Unfortunately, these days you can't tell a woman from a man... In fact, you can't tell what they are. The feminine woman is rare and the "man's man" is even more rare.
It's the Transhumanist agenda at its finest, the making of a new race. 👺
You have not learned anything from them or you wouldn't have such prudish views. Have you ever heard of pre-code movies. These movies would have been much better if they hadn't been censored.
@@nedludd7622 lol what does the phrase ‘when women were women/men…men’ even mean?! I think most women would agree they’re individuals and not simply either a sexpot, mother or submissive daughter/sister. Pigeonholing for any sex is not healthy.
@@moominmay LAY, what does your post have anything to do with mine?
You mean a man can rifle thru the purse of a woman he just met to find her home address as part of the mating ritual??
absolute stupidity, he is letting complete strangers stay in his new inherited house while he stays in a cheap boarding house. Totally unbelievable
thank you for posting, I enjoy these old movies better than anything that`s come out of hollywood in the last 30 years or so....
Excellent Movie! Surprisingly sharp for the year it was filmed. Of course I am starting to recognize the quality in the Chesterfield Corp. Broadcasting...radio and movies.
Back when my dad wouldn’t go anywhere with out his hat
My second time watching this gem 💎 of a movie!!! Just Awesome 🤩
I really enjoy these old movies. Thank you for sharing it.

There are some very good old movies out there. And then, there is this one.
I’m so used to soundtracks continually playing in movies, that the sound in these early films seems so flat. But the actors in this one did a great job with the dialogue. Thanks for sharing.
I think Enid Blyton got most of her Famous Five plots from this film. very High-Quality film.
A crazed scientist, torture chambers and sinister medical experiments--just my kind of place.
Very good quality.
Kirk Douglas as a stunt man in the scene of the castle! Incredible!
What castle?
notice how everyone is "thin as a rake", and there no mention of fast food.
Also, people’s bodies weren’t full of toxic chemicals from tainted food, air and water.
We should always have meals at set times (from day to day) within a hour, with fast-food it spreads out the meal time window to whenever one gets to the fast-food outlet.
@@EYE_GOTCHA They just smoked, drank, and I doubt they ate well. You realize that people cast in movies are selected for their good looks.
This isn't long after the depression so this was what well fed looked like in those days LOL x
The first time I saw a couple of “super fatties” was in the 70’s in NYC. Couldn’t believe my eyes but I bet if I saw them now they’d just be almost ordinary - lol.
Barry's pocket square sticking out that far through the entire film was just too much . . .
Great story, great ending, TY
22 minutes into it and enjoying it in a campy sort of way. But if I heard my Dame scream...I wouldn't leave the scene.
Your enjoyment was campy?
Excellent movie. Thank you.
The crooks In this film,are the most polite.
I've seen this movie before years ago. I'm watching it again from Betty.. London UK
That was good. Had no clue til the end. 😊
🌹Intriguing, yet ~ not an easy plot to figure out. 👏👏👏🙏💫👈
Thank you.
Starts out promisingly, has some charm, but the story just starts going round in circles until coming to a rather silly end.
Thank you.
Didn’t see that twist! Great movie! Thanks, Pizza Flix!
I'm not into movies much, but the 1930's films are great! The current flick is a must watch, in my book.
In 2021 dollars, his cash inheritance would be $993,876.81 plus the value of the mansion and property, in case anybody wants to know. And probably nobody wanted to know lol
Loved it!! Thank you, Pizza!!
"Nails Nathan" from The Public Enemy gets cast as a toughguy romantic lead by a cheap-o studio. Wonder if he had his "gloves well earled?" I enjoyed it. Thanks for putting it on the web.
Good One! Thanks for a Good one that is Light!
Love the ending!!!! True treasure.
Love the suits the straightforward acting the little romance 🇹🇹🤩😘
If I lived back then , you know, I think I might have worn a piece of styro-foam under my hat. Seems folks were constantly gettin' clubbed over the head a lot. With styro-foam under my hat I could pretend to be knocked out and then when they turned around I could take the bad guys by surprise,
Ha Ha!
If you lived back then, you’d have been out of luck. Styrofoam wasn’t invented until the 1940s and was first used by consumers in the 1960s.
That or rienforce the hat into a Helmet incognito
Foam rubber, even better
They did not have Styrofoam back then....newspaper would have to do
THANK YOU ENJOYED WATCHING THIS VERY GOOD OLD MOVIE NICE STORY FEB. 24 2019
Love this classic movie 🍿 thanks
Liked.. thanks again for sharing 😀
This movie has enough style & atmosphere for several movies.
That’s an astute observation. ‼️🌹
The last line was worth the whole movie!
much of the action takes place in the dark, so you don't know what's going on; this could have been a radio show
Excellent Movie, with clever Dialogue !
This should have a re-make done! The plot has a little bit of everything!
This movie required some patience to slowly unfold all that twisted plots... Thz 4 upload.
Enjoyed this movie a lot.
Did anyone notice the blooper on 108 : 15 ? The chairs are switched around.
so lots of light in the stairway in cave, but dark in the house part.
Great story!
A very enjoyable romp it only needed a hooded figure to make it complete thanks for posting.
Enjoy this every time I watch it.
Excellent ☺
Twist: Barry was the grand Uncle of Bruce Wayne's father and the Hawks Nest was passed down to him.
WRONG AGAIN.
Lol!😂
Well. Ya don't. Say. ?!???!!
Love this movie from a loyal fan thank you 😊
ahhh...nothing like the classic black and white films.
They have Great Story Lines
Didn't have a color TV until '68! Wizard of OZ blew me away! I was fortunate to see "Gone With the Wind" in the movie house,!

You said it all,no argument.
the lawyer tells him he should sell- Inheritance requires a promise not to sell, keep it in the family. those big ancient houses in the cold damp English countryside are expensive to maintain.
Good mystery movie, I thought everyone was after the treasure.
Good movie, good acting & it's dark in the dark.
One hour in and I still Don't know what is going on !
HA!
You're 1 hr older
cuz we can't tell you, it's a secret! haha
I see fedoras, I watch.
hahahahaha.
07:55 FOR reference: 50 000 in 1936 is the equivalent to just shy of 990 000 today. The exchange rate has also suffered a bit. A Pound today is worth a buck fifty.

I like these old ones. They depend on writing instead of CGI. Even if they are corny they only last about an hour so they don't have time to get on ones nerves. BTW the hero was 'Nails Nathan' in :The Roaring Twenties"
OK it was t"The Public Enemy" I stand corrected.
Love these old films😊
The synopsis does it no justice bc Barry owns the house
Thank you 🤩🤩💖💖
I'm still watching this. Script is very weak in places but I'll play along.. For example, the heir "trespasses" and only angrily states that he owns the place. He NEVER states that he recently inherited it. A good scriptwriter would have included the inheritance part and found a work-around for the dialogue for the current residents. But I know in filmmaking there are time constraints and budget limitations, which put pressure on the author of the screenplay.
Very nice movie, realy suspenseful!
Cool movie. Thanks.
Quite good
Muriel Evans is a real beauty
but the writers sure didn't give her much to work with , it was "you can't" , "I can't explain" and "you must go " thru the whole film
Good job 👏🏾 Pizza 🍕🤦🏽♀️🙋🏽
Made the year I was born, 1936, so like me. it must be good. July, 2023.
Good and old 😂
Me or the film?@@Charles-oo8bq

It seems the world was simpler at that time. People were different.
