Caesar Kluck, soft-drink magnate, is found dead in the office of a big radio-broadcasting company. Benjamin Franklin Butts, a sound engineer, discovers that Kluck met his death from cyanogen gas, administered in some mysterious fashion. Harry Jones, head of the company, fires Butts for making the public. Kluck has made many enemies and there are numerous suspects, including Christina "Steenie" MacCorkle, who is in love with Butts; her brother Alexander; radio announcer Dave Chapman; Tony Lisotti, the janitor who had discovered that Kluck was making love to his daughter Maria' Kluck's physician, Doctor Leonard sylvester, and Joe Carney, a racketeer who had been doing Kluck's dirty work. Butts pursues his investigation and his only clue is a deflated toy-advertising balloon he has found next to Kluck's body. Later, Butts discovers Tony;s body in a broom closet and, nearby, finds another deflated balloon, a straw and a pin. He then calls all the suspects together...and solves the mystery.
Your channel brings to life many of the lesser known movies that came to signify the Golden Age of Hollywood. Those that contributed to making movies the art form of the 20th century. A classification sadly now expired. Keep these movies coming for all to enjoy in the 21st century!
Love these black and white movies. Thank you for making these available 🙏
I've watched this at least 20 times and it doesn't get old. I hear or see something new that I missed each time.
You have to appreciate the talent of Peter Lind Hayes. His versatility shines in this. And Skeets Gallager was one of the best at one-liners.
You have to love these old B movie mysteries. They had a way with pacing that is lacking in most modern films-- 66 minutes and none of it wasted.
Wow Mr. Altier...so well said! Huzzah
It is an amazing pleasure to watch films where the script keeps moving and the product contains more than the marathons of the 21st century. Thanks for posting another fun film.
I have a hard time watching new movies, too much unsolicited filth. I like these old movies, back when people were still sane and had moral standards.
A crime mystery with a decent sense of humor. Thank you.
I 💕 them too! I like murder mysteries with some dark comedy. Try Arsenic and old lace and A slight case of murder both excellent and funny. There are so many!
The old movies-the best movies,thank u♥️♥️♥️
Very enjoyable comedy crime thriller. Well acted and plotted thanks for posting.
Lee J. Cobb....early days of his march toward
Oscars
@@robertwalker5521Lee never won an Oscar.
That's Lee J. Cobb playing the janitor. I remember Peter Lind Hayes from '50's tv. He sounded like Rudy Valee singing Your Time is My Time. This was so much fun, Pizza, thank you!!
Hi Kathleen 🍕thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕
I loved Lee in The Virginian TV series.Halcyon days!!!!
Thank you for your time in bringing these wonderful old movies to us. You are appreciated😊
I also have been binging on these black and white classics during lockdown. What a great find!
They are wonderful! No trashy tv for me!
Thx for making these classics available to the masses!
Thank you so much for posting your movies. I love the older shows.
I love these old b&w movies. Thank you to PizzaFlix for posting them!
Thank you for uploading these old movies.
Nan Grey was a beauty! I love the old mysteries, and this one had plenty of suspects.
Mom put us young children to bed quite early. At the age of 6 I was up at 1 a m each morning to watch "The Late Show", and then, "The Late Late Show". Totally hooked on retro entertainment since 6 years old.
Radio Station/Programs are great locations for mysteries.
This one had an interesting twist.
Oh these old movies are fantastic they are really great underrated 100 I mean this is bloody this is a bloody four star movie there's no question about it maybe it's a plus plus plus plus plus got to see absolutely got to see
Thanks for showing us this great old film...👍🏿
Thanks a lot 4 these old but "Great Movies".
I have just discovered your channel and fell in love with all these oldies. Thank you so much for making them available. I have always loved the old mysteries.
Wonderful screwball 1930's dramedy! Love the Art Deco. Thank you!
Very entertaining and lots of kluck klucks LOL. Many talented actors. THANKS Pizza.
What a delight to watch. What a classic, good comments everyone, x

Love these old black and white movies. Some are funny some keep you on the edge. Some suppenceful. Great for lock down rainy days or just for fun. Thank you.
Not just a good story but some genuine real life Art Deco architecture and interior decoration.
Thank you so much for keeping these going!!!
A little IMDb work shows that Lee J. Cobb, who plays Tony the janitor, was less than 4 years older than Louise Stanley, who plays his daughter Maria. It was only Cobb's fourth movie role, and his first credited as Lee J. Cobb.
❤❤❤❤ wonderfull movies we would never have seen .thankyou.so much keep bringing them to us.better than todays movies. Great actors.❤❤❤❤❤
It's an A+ grade movie and my favourite film of all...thank you for the wonderful movie! :-)
Great show! This show teetered on the edge of corny, but managed to maintain my interest. Thanks.
It's more than just a little corny, but Nan Grey, the sinister George Meeker, the agreeable Frank Milan, and the 'Dr. Van Helsing' Edward Van Sloan make it worthwhile.
Two voices I recognized and I had to look them up is Nan Grey and Donald Woods who were both in "The Black Doll" great movie!
Thanks for the movie, one of my favourites... I wish Nan and Donald had made a series of these films!
Yes, they really had 'The Chemistry', muahahaha!
GLORIOUS! Thanks!
Pizza flux. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I so love these old BW movies. Much appreciate your time and dedication.🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤️
Wow, was surprised to spot Lee J. Cobb as Tony @ 29:11
This movie from 1938.
Great old classic!
Yeah, and with a full head of hair.
@@leelarson107 And a marvelous characterization.
Well, dang if it isn't. I knew he looked somewhat familiar.
He had about 40 years of film-making ahead of him.
This is terrific.
One of my favorites. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the upload. This is a great old movie.
Thank you for your wonderful uploads, Pizza Flix! Very much appreciated.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the upload.80 years on she is still a stunning looking girl,but i guess saying that sort of thing these days isn't "PC". We've lost a lot in those 80 years,not all of it bad.
You're fine in my book w your complimentary statement!
For those who might not have recognized him, the young man who did all the imitations was Peter Lind Hayes, credited here as Lind Hayes. By the early 1950s he and his wife Mary Healey were omnipresent of television both on their own show and guest appearances on many others
They also co-starred with Hans Conried in the 1953 fantasy film, “The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T”, which was written by Dr. Seuss.
@@13thwho Just try to find a video of that film today. I have a VHS copy.
Great info. Thanks.
Thanks for posting!
thaks pizza flix for all the fine videos...
Love this movie. I watch it over and over
I love these movies and appreciate all the work you put into uploading them. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
That was an interesting movie, thanks for sharing this with us 😊
So Funny & entertainingI Love Her 💗 absolutely Beautiful actress inside and out.
Good movie thanks 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Your channel is great for binge watching on wet weekend, snuggled up with hot chocolate.
radio engineer turns detective & solves mystery w/out ever calling cops; maybe he was in the wrong line (w/ Lee J. Cobb in cameo role)
Another great who it.
Thank you
God bless
Who it? 🤔
Thank you!
Here I am again love this one funny,mystery who couldn't love it
Very good. Teaches how get sharp again like in the old days.....
Thank you 💖💖💖🤩🤩
Another great picture show!!
another feel good movie thanks
Appreciate your channel very much!
Super little film. Give it a whirl.
Thanks for posting--very entertaining.
Highly entertaining. Recommended.
Couldn’t take my eyes off gorgeous Nan Grey, and a bright funny film. B movies have more fun....
Oldies but goodies!!😊
Wow, I've never seen Lee J. Cobb this young before! And playing an Italian, no less! Also, Edward Van Sloane (Dr. Sylvester) played Professor Van Helsing in the 1931 version of "Dracula" with Bela Lugosi.
Edward was in Frankenstein as well.
Peter Lind Hayes. I remember that name. Don’t think I ever saw him perform. He nailed Bing Crosby! Some of the impressionists of the 60s have to have been inspired by him! Great little film! 💛
Thanks for uploading all the content I definitely have an old movie abuse problem
Luv these classic films! A movie NEVER seen is a NEW movie!!!
Fantastic crime mystery movie to watch thanks for posting this movie 😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊
Ahhhh PizzaFlix...the Sauce Source Sublime! Grazie!!!
Wow, what a Great.Movie! I've watched quite a few during this 'lockdown' (several I had to deep six!) and this one - this one was especially good. Beautiful blonde, clever engineer with super-hearing - countered by the type 'A' big-shot sponsor. Clever writing and hilarious moments - laugh-out-loud more that once (the doorman admitting that he too was in love). Excellent, thanks so much for the upload - may the 🍕 sauce be with you! 💖
thank you.
thanks for sharing
The blond cutie Nan Grey has has her Goldie Hawn moments. Fun movie.
Berton Churchill. A talanted actor!
He was nice in The Dark Hour.
@@keithharvey7230
He was truly the killer ...not that poor Chinese guy. Hedda Hopper lied!
thank you!
"Where are you?"....Ah, this is good! Good for a laugh. What a fi!m.😀
The movie sounded like it was dubbed over with other conversation than what was playing
VERY GOOD MOVIE
That's a good one
I love these old black & whies. "Panties" on a censorship list. A fabulous look at our grand & greatgrand parents world. Men wore hats, skirts below the knee, etc. Film making techniques, plots, dialogues, how much fun to watch
Men wore skirts below the knee? I didn't see that.🤔
GREAT.
I'm sure the hotel doorman was a cop in a Laurel and Hardy film.
👍😀,Thanks
3:05 Didn't know that Robert DeNiro was THIS old. LOL
Nan Grey is absolutely beautiful. There isn't an actress in Hollywood today who comes close.
David Smith ...well idk about that but I get the idea...my ‘39 Cadillac was overheated last summer and a lady in a brand new Camry stopped to compliment my car and say ‘they don’t make them like that anymore!’ ...as I stood in 98 degrees with boiling gasoline in a mechanical fuel pump as she’s in air conditioned comfort- so yeah- they sure don’t make them like they used to- but that’s just fine
She is beautiful but there are many actresses as beautiful today.
@@MichaelGunner123 mostly due to plastic surgery now though.
25:39: That maniacal laugh!
We were warned of that chemical mixture. My daughter was born on April Fool's Day!
Great film.
Charming little movie
When she was playing the piano and started singing 🤩
Good movie
2 snaps up!
Wow, another movie 🎥 from years ago.😊❤❤
The first three shots cost more money than a whole Chesterfield picture!
Nan Grey -- married to Frankie Laine (the singer) ... berry interesting ....
