A good film noir with lots of dark streets, the plot is rather complex and you need to pay attention, if you do it is a very rewarding watch. I can’t get over the sheer speed of the guy playing piano, just amazing. Thanks for posting.
...they don’t make em like this today...no cgi...no spoiled, politically motivated actors/producers/directors/writers....just good ol’ fashioned story telling brought to life by fine actors....lots of twists and turns....thanks for the upload....
Wow !!! Excellently written and a TRUE mystery. Being a mystery buff I LOVED the twists and turns in this story. 🤔Kept me alert and attentive to every bit of the plot and what was going on. Thanks for the download!!!! 😀
Hard to judge a 1947 film by 2020 standards; .......but back then, this baby definitely had the audiences agog and on the edge of their cast iron seats!....I know; I was on of those wide-eyed cinemagoers seats of the 40's....in 1947, this film had everything.
What an amazing movie, I never tire of watching it, probably around 5 times now and it gets better each time. The jazz man was superb, absolutely awesome, my fingers were bleeding just from watching it. Fantastic upload, thanks very much. 👍👍👍
@@firstlast1357 - oh you mean the self admitted Marxist BLM funded by our U.S. Government? the rest of your organizations mentioned are just to keep everyone infighting. Divide & conquer. They're almost there now. They're winning. The American mind is too far gone to help save this country now.
My dad used to tell me that the police drove cars that look like the PT Cruisers and would pick you up and throw you in jail and then let you out the next day if it wasn't the person that they were looking for now I see what he was talkin about great movie great cast thanks for sharing
Nowadays the cops just shoot and claim your cell phone was a handgun --- or they plant a gun on your body .There are two types of cops --- the bad ones --- and the cops who lie for the bad ones because of loyalty or intimidation. .
Excellent. The piano player was Gene Rogers. Amazing face on that man. That secretary had spine! ! ! So satisfying , this movie. Characters to both love and hate. Lots of twists.
Old classic movies like. these now have a home where they can be seen by all generations of folks they are free!!! Free to be seen on a computer tablet. or cell phone!!! So many good older films and even classic movie stars of long ago are now able to be seen by younger folks who will get to. see the classic movies like never before yah!!!!!!!!
How times and people change, a B movie then, in all aspects far superior to most of the productions today, that cater to the less intelligent world ( in general) today.
There are still excellent films being made today but distribution is still mostly controlled by Hollywood . Two Greats I have recently seen are Nomadland and Ammonite. Enjoy..
Yes. I thought only Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and Randolph Scott could keep their hats on in a fight. However, Mitch manages it fighting on a staircase. That's Olympic gold.
WOW !!!!!!!.......The bogie wogie piano man was a bolt of lighting in a movie I was snoozing through......made "shoot to kill" memorable byond the title....a Berke directed film..
You have a very, gifted and talented son, if he plays like that! Do whatever you can for him to get that musical career going if he hasn't already started. Share that gift from God with the whole world...I'm waiting to hear...and God Bless You, Him...and all that is dear to you!
@@howardkerr8174 Not really. For one thing, the pianist (Gene Rogers) was playing "boogie woogie", not jazz. The distinction would have been obvious in those days. For another, this was popular music of the day, and Chinese restaurants were popular for society at-large, not just Chinese people, so of course the management would hire a musician to make music that would attract customers.
now i know who gave jerry lee lewis piano lessons....go to the10 minute mark and you can see for yourself.....not to mention this movie is way above average...really enjoyed !!
Gene Rodgers was a master pianist. I've only seen him on one other video. It was called "Gene Rodgers Jukebox Boogie." How can someone that good be so unknown?
There are so many people like that on this planet Bro. Masters and beyond being a master. But he wasn't unknown. You and so many others know him. But he did what he did for for the love
Cornelieus......in his heart ,for the love of passionate Art ,to know is to be Bro....you must play or be involved in any form of art.Or just super cultured and in the know of all.
Those were the days, smoking in every take, - i remember being a restaurmant patron, wreathed in smoke, gasping for breath and finding it normal. God bless the smoke free environment league for banning that crap form basically everywhere.
I wonder if the hats not coming off was in some way a holdover from earlier Western movies where the hats stayed on during fights so you could always tell the good guys from the bad guys?
OK, PIZZA, extremely good movie, well made and great plot. Have more of your movies and they are very good indeed. Forget other comments. Now my only hope is that you must be careful as SS could be eyeing you, Thank you so much and be careful so that everyone can keep enjoying your fantastic film noir.
You guys are making me think the piano playing is bad. Hellacious, one guy said, and you say the piano player is killing it, like what, ruining the movie with it? I had to listen to the piano to see that you meant the piano playing is FABULOUS. Good, like Johnny B. Goode and Jerry Lee Lewis GOOD. :o)
@@Carly8Corday ~ I had to look it up. Funny thing is that hellacious is defined as something distasteful, awful, nasty, or repellent... but can also be used as a slang adjective meaning remarkable, unbelievable, astonishing, or extraordinary. I did not know this.
Not the "double-double cross"! If this movie had a bigger budget, maybe the cast from the Mercury Theater, such as Orson Welles, Everett Sloan, Erskine Sanders, Agnes Moorehead, etc; I think it would have been really good.
Nice. Great clean watchable movie. Now other than protecting the sanctimonious of the DA office why not run story of truth? DA office so ineffective everyone would think fix was in and good to pin on someone so they could clean house

Nonsense. All Hollywood is about is about politics.
What a twisty curvy Story-line! What a great Film!
Thank You Pizzaflix for always choosing the best films

I love the oldies as well.
The pianist is Gene Rodgers: American jazz pianist, born in 1910 and died 1987...in New York

FOR REAL MIKEY
Mikey you have decent taste. I can watch most of the movies now
@@cynthiajones6011 your SHOUTING
@@johnboys4697 'you're' shouting
These old films are so classic. They have a plot, good story line, good acting, and look at the trash we have today.
But we have cRAP, and BLM, diversity, inclusiveness, women’s rights … abortion, riots, peaceful burnings … etc. Aren’t you proud ?

The piano solo at 9:49 is worth watching the movie for alone.
Worth watching just for the piano scene!!! 👍❤️

That was a satisfying watch. Some good twists, nice noir photography, decent acting and directing.

Dumbed-down and voyeur public made Hollywood adapt its products to the new market demands.
@Tom Spanne - I'm not interested in your fetish.

Two Greats I have recently seen are Nomadland and Ammonite. Enjoy..
Amazing piano player.
Old movies had a real plot.
That fight on the stairs without losing your hat. Impressive. 🙄
I noticed the same thing ---- figure the hat was glued on ??
Yes. I thought only Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and Randolph Scott could keep their hats on in a fight. However, Mitch manages it fighting on a staircase. That's Olympic gold.

VERY INTERESTING GARY
I wonder when Boogie Woggie became popular & went out of being popular?
The great Gene Rodgers performing his original compositions.
@@xmillion1704 thank you
I was just looking for that.
Boogie Wogie is always popular and will remain so.Don'y you watch any youtube? Or Jools Holland and friends to name just a few.
Thank you
outstanding boogie woogie piano at 9:45 - Gene Rodgers performing two of his own compositions: "Ballad of the Bayou" and "Rajah's Blues"
UA-cam blonde baby boy wear diaper
Thanks! Going right there, the old pianists were the greatest! Love Boogie Woogie!
How great to go to the movies and get great music and a story.
The best jazz piano player by far that nobody can beat was Hazel Scott.
That's Gene Rodgers.....faster than lightning on those 88's!
My son plays like that. I always amazed after watching so many times. He only had a few lessons.
You have a very, gifted and talented son, if he plays like that! Do whatever you can for him to get that musical career going if he hasn't already started. Share that gift from God with the whole world...I'm waiting to hear...and God Bless You, Him...and all that is dear to you!
@@debbieschepers2503 Debbie you probably are very proud and amazed
Great story. Reminds me of Dashiel Hammet. I could see 100 movies this smart.
Really excellent. Great story and characters. Kept me guessing!
Totally enjoyed this movie
Thank you
Incredible piano playing very very very good .....
SO TRUE MR. DAWSON , I ALSO ENJOYED THE PIANO PLAYER.I JUST LOVE THE MOVIE.
@@cynthiajones6011
I did too, but thought it was kind of odd that jazz was being played in what appeared to be an Oriental restaurant.

Hello he is "Black" back in the day.
He made many recordings. I just checked
Cornelieus......in his heart ,for the love of passionate Art ,to know is to be Bro....you must play or be involved in any form of art.Or just super cultured and in the know of all.
For every Keith Jarret I think there are hundreds just as good but who just do what they do for the love of doing it and don't get 'discovered'.
Loved it x
9:39 - Hellacious piano playing!!!
Oh yeah 👍

Excellent insight in political and social life of US big cities in ´the 1940s
In most of the old movies I seen in the fight scene that their hats never came off their heads.
AND WHEN THEY GOT SHOT YOU NEVER SEE BLOOD LOL
@@cynthiajones6011 Not always.
I wonder if the hats not coming off was in some way a holdover from earlier Western movies where the hats stayed on during fights so you could always tell the good guys from the bad guys?
@@howardkerr8174 it's because you would see the stunt mans face and not the "leading man". Tricky.

so many twists so I had to take notes
Bad short term memory.

Great yarn!
Always remember to wear your seatbelts boys & girls, you never know when the cops are gonna start shooting!
Who is the black piano player? Damn good.
Good movie these old movie are great 👍 thank you
Great movie thank you
"Stop it, Mitch." LOL
Those crooked gangsters sure smoked a lot of Cuban cigars, now you cannot buy them in the USA.
Piano player WOW!
Who was that piano player? He could play some boogie woogie!
Oh no...the beatiful car!
Did anyone else notice at 46min30 secs there appears to be a stage hand pulling a prop front the bannister? :)
Yep
Love these oldies….todays films are excrement….unwatchable.
The piano player is great
nice tight rolling smart tasty snappy affair...
the good ole classics...
tolerable movie; nice twist at the end!
Piano guy was the best!
Hey Pizza....💋
Awesome movie
Happy Holidays! May the Sauce be with you.

I always read the comments first that's how I know if the picture is good or not After reading them didn't watch the movie Thanks Guys
Cynthia Harris - why? If they tell you to jump off a bridge will you do that as well? Don't you have a brain to make the decision yourself? Sheep 🐑
I think it is good, therefore you must watch it.
In future only read good reviews.
I do that to, yet I have decided to watch it.
charles was good actor.
very impressive movie about what? turmoil after war experience
Poor secretaries... Just walking meat to those men back then.
They seemed to be just as ruthless as the men. They sure didn't come off as weak.

It's worse now, as they get harrassed by "men".
