SPOILER: Bit of a continuity problem with this movie and 'The Devil Bat.' This movie says the girl's father's papers prove he was not a killer, while in 'The Devil Bat' it is abundantly clear that he was; he trained his giant bats to attack those he tricked into wearing a scent he developed. I don't know why the filmmakers of this sequel felt like they needed to change that especially since it was the entire point of the previous movie.
It is odd to say he was innocent when he's clearly shown as being guilty in Devil Bat. It's like the makers of this just heard second hand what Devil Bat was about, and just winged it.
@@srm818 If all they wanted to do was show that the girl did not inherit her father's murderous nature all they had to say was the doctor's private papers revealed she was adopted and not a blood relative; not invalidate the entire previous movie. It's so obvious.
I agree. I saw The Devil Bat movie and this movie is nothing like it. It's more like a murder mystery. It's not a bad movie, though. I like these old movies.
Not bad!!! I never even knew, this existed, as I've seen the first one. It was interesting, well scripted, and interesting. I kinda knew that doctor was the killer (like they, usually are), or the foreign woman. 'Cause actually, that's what this is, a murder/mystery, and NOT a horror film.
These low-budget Horrors from PRC and Monogram have peculiar charm of their own. One cant stop watching them till the end. Anyone looking for logic and reason in these films should move on. I wish Rosemary LaPlanche, who possessed a similar look to Rita Hayworth became a bigger star. With better training/grooming and bigger Buget films, I think she could have made it. But this film and Strangler of the Swamp (46) have made her a bone fide Cult star.
that was a control freak. always telling people what to do. just a snarky ass. bet he was a horrible kid growing up. as I was watching this I said he's the murderer. just by the way he carried himself. didn't have to kill the dog. the dog was friendly to him. it was part of his plot. when they were shooting at him, they should of just shot him in the legs. the next scene should of showed him in a padded room laughing like an idiot. the victim have some glorious hair. nice long & full bodied. people sure did fall in love with another so quickly without even knowing much about each other. good picture.
Speaking of John James, Wayne Morris, and Dick Purcell being cast as 'brothers', consider this: John James died 1960, age 50. Dick Purcell died 1944, age 38. Wayne Morris died 1959, age 45. All three of them died way too young.
Well, in Hollywood movies anyway. It was a formal time. Sportswear meant sports. Jeans meant work. And everything else was occasion appropriate and manners mattered, even if everything else fell apart.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 Not only in the movies of the time. I remember my Great-Aunt's, My Mom and every girl I dated in High School and College "Dressing To The Nine's" for every possible occasion. It was a time when "Art Mirrored Life". Women always wanted to look their best in the days before the so-called "Cultural Revolution" of the 1960's.
Sad and enrapturing. Not a usual villain, making him hard to figure through the first half, easy to hate him plenty enough just for the all around creep he is.
My first Comment got deleted, somehow. This is a good movie , though a little slow as was usual for the B&W films of the time. But the lush beauty of Rosemary LaPlanche carries the whole thing. I was 12 years old in the mid-1950's and while other boys were lusting after Monroe, Mansfield, and Bardot, I dreamed of Rosemary LaPlanche.
Why do they never get it that belittling a loved one' s or patient's certainty that they interacted with a ghost is the very LAST try they should make, not the first and ONLY?
The old traditions of wearing a flower on the left side lapel, for a living Mother and on the right side lapel, for a deceased Mother, have disappeared from these modern days. Gone are so many traditions that told of or lives and living.
James Snee That’s so true and very funny. That dapper young man, was a common phrase but not these days. A fresh haircut, white as white can be shirt with a beautiful tie matching kerchief, and a handsomely fitted suit, fine socks and smart polished shoes of the fashion. Just to look at, made the effort every day young things, with success written all over to go with the impeccable manners too. Very special indeed. Have a lovely day, from me to you James Snee.🇦🇺🕴🏼
T Jacobs I still insist on a clean ladies handkerchief in my handbag, before leaving home. If it gets used or not isn’t what it’s about either but ‘you know that already’. Stores have very little selection of proper handkerchieves these days and they are or can be more expensive for a set of three, than a Dinner out. Umbrellas used to match shoes and coat, even the hat too but ladies find it so easy to slot into a less formalised ethic so others won’t feel uncomfortable. This new adaption of protocols is a very generous allowance on the part of the more ethically mannered, to a state less than. Luckily for us all, it’s comfortable.
@@deborahduthie4519 Nice to know some of these horse and buggy formalities are still observed by a few. Mom used to make her own hankies...always white linen, trimmed with lace, and embroidered in one corner with her initials. She hand washed, ironed, and folded them, and kept them in a box with a pomander ball so they smelled nice. She was a perfect lady.
With Griffin Jay writing and Frank Wisbar both producing and directing this one reslly should have been better. Odd that Wisbar should have directed one of the best PRCs, "The Strangler of the Swamp" and this one. However, after watching it for the first time in years its not quite as bad as i remembered. Some nice moments and of course Miss LaPlanche is excellent.
What is this about slapping her face for asking to go out to Curuthers' place? And "She wanted to go so badly, so I took her."? The acting is great, so is the direction. ~ A. F. Viewer
I wasn't familiar with 'John James', the male lead. I'd seen him before in minor roles. Look at him again and you'll see that he and Wayne Morris and Dick Purcell could have passed for brothers. That would have made for a good western or military movie, or a 15-chapter serial. Nothing like this in today's world, with wimps and weirdos as the usual cast.
Don't confuse this movie with 'Billy Batts' who was a made man, iced by Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) in 'Goodfellas'. 'The Devil Bat's Daughter is a good B-Movie mystery from the 40's.
Thank you so much, great movie. I love the oldies. Especially mystery, suspense, and horror. The stuff today is just so overly sexualized and excessively violent. Plus often they create characters nobody could care about. Love some new ones but the older ones are often the best.
So a supposed sequel to a horror film becomes a simple soap opera murder, with the perpetrator revealing his guilt and attempting armed escape on a still thin case against him. A poverty row yawner, and a disappointment that even manages to detract the "horror" from the original. Not just a clinker, a STINKER!
Allen Kracalik Allen, the drugs proved That Ms Crothers was motionless and that Dr. Morris was the perpetrator.... what I thought was funny was that Dr. Crothers was not a decent person. He had his bats kill people who wronged him in the medical field. That wasn’t mentioned. He was only promoted as a great scientist who was an innovator LOL...PS They could’ve used stock footage of Bella LOL
Thanks for helping me not waste any more time watching it. I LOVE PRCs, but the first half of this was pointless, directionless, dull and awful. I'm going to watch Devil Bat.
@@VolumedMusicMan Yea, Bela was evil as hell in The Devil Bat, that is funny; and this movie is stupid. First PRC I've seen that I just don't like at all. I love The Black Raven, Dead Men Walk, all that stuff, but this is terrible.
Yay!!! I'm so excited, these are my absolute favorite types of old movies!!😍 Thank you!! 💜
I have a massive collection of these movies. Love them
Thanks for posting both movies!! They are both great and thanks for making your UA-cam channel such a great place for movies!!!
Sure it's dark as hell let's go examine the basement in the abandoned house now and then a few nights later.

The title is more exciting than the movie.
I love these black and white movies thnxs so much.

that was a control freak.
always telling people what to do.
just a snarky ass.
bet he was a horrible kid growing up.
as I was watching this I said he's the murderer.
just by the way he carried himself.
didn't have to kill the dog. the dog was friendly to him.
it was part of his plot.
when they were shooting at him, they should of just shot him in the legs.
the next scene should of showed him in a padded room laughing like an idiot.
the victim have some glorious hair. nice long & full bodied.
people sure did fall in love with another so quickly without even knowing much about each other.
good picture.
That lady looks like my Mommy. You never saw them at all until their hair was fixed and lipstick on.

Wayne Morris had quite an impressive WW2 war record...they say he drank heavily after the war, he was never the same, and his career suffered.
@@buxxbannerspov30 Way too many cases like that.
"You mustn't be afraid." Yeah, just the doctor heckling her to remember.
Wonderful time when women where so classy , beautiful hair and dressed like dolls

The German/Romainian lady was very sexy as well. Exotic
@@allenkracalik7662 She drank herself to death in 1958, age 44. Tragic.
If I were her doctor I'd study her while she slept since that seems to be the time "things" happen...
Needed more bats but enjoyable hokum thanks for posting.
Thought she was rita Hayworth
Doesn't the doctor resemble Abraham Lincoln, a smaller version of course? Sadly, he doesn't have Lincoln's sentiment at all.
thank you
SUPER MERCI !.. ON SE LAISSE PRENDRE GENTIMENT PAR L'INTRIGUE MÊME SI ON DEVINE LA FIN !.. BRAVO À TOUTE L'ÉQUIPE POUR CE MOMENT DE DÉTENTE !..

Maybe, ‘The Sinister Psychiatrist’ would be a better title for this movie.
1940s Mullets for women....

LaPlanche was Miss California three years in a row (1939-1941), and Miss America in 1941. She wasn't hired for her acting chops.
Strangely , the feel is more similar to the 'poverty row' 30's flicks, eg The Devil Bat, than the polished 40's film noir films , eg The Wolman.
What is this about slapping her face for asking to go out to Curuthers' place? And "She wanted to go so badly, so I took her."?
The acting is great, so is the direction. ~ A. F. Viewer
"She looked like I slapped her face." She was shocked and hurt.
Poor little Toto will never play again.😞🐶

PRC Pictures? Can't say I've of them before.
They were an independent company that made a lot of low budget horror movies. They're jokingly referred to as Poverty Row.
Groovy Movies I've heard this term before, that's funny PRC got that nickname haha. Cool trivia, thanks for your work
Thank you so much, great movie. I love the oldies. Especially mystery, suspense, and horror. The stuff today is just so overly sexualized and excessively violent. Plus often they create characters nobody could care about. Love some new ones but the older ones are often the best.
Good old movie. Someone in the 1940s should have made a final one "Son of Devil Bat" and so we would have a trilogy from those days.
The irony is, the last two lines are just as psychologically abusive as anything the doctor put her through.
Things change,in a time of emergency.And boy are in that time.The church,,provides.

A wonderful movie.
