My goodness for an old movie the picture and audio is so clear, audio better than some modern-day audio that sounds muffled. Virginia Christine was all over the TV for years, I remember her face but knew nothing about her until the internet, I looked up her bio. Front Page Detective Magazine, I remember so well the first time I saw this mag. An old maid I was working with whipped this out during our lunch break, I was shocked, shocked, I tell you, didn't fit with the lady's character, I had known her for years- I thought I knew her, Now, I'm hooked on detective stories, and remember her as I now enjoy these stories. .
"Oh, Mrs. Olsen. I just can't make good coffee! My husband is threatening to take little Jimmy away and divorce me if I keep making coffee that tastes like💩!"
Episode aired 1951. David Chase learns of a jade figurine that seems to bring death to those who possess it. The intrepid reporter seeks to find the reason behind the cursed object.
So much TV from that era has been lost. Programs were typically recorded on video tapes, which back then were not the cassettes we think of today. They were big heavy reels and they were very expensive, so they were meant to be used over and over. That meant that whatever was already on them would be erased. If the studio cared enough to bother, it would be transferred to 16mm film for possible sale to syndicators, but nobody was thinking seriously about archiving this stuff, so many of these films were lost or thrown out or allowed to degrade to the point where they were unwatchable.
He was ever the great Detective and very smooth but clearly where he was at the stage of career in television was no longer a Casanova type as they tried to pull off he was already in his 60s flirting with women in their thirties on the shows. Surely there were enough beautiful actresses who were age appropriate that could be cast in the series.
Interesting. I stopped watching a 1933 movie entitled "Hot Pepper" starring Lowe, Victor Mclaglen, and Mexican spitfire Lupe Velez and stumbled across this.
5 minutes...well that's a stupid plan and deducing David! Right after a Murderer fires at them he tells her to leave and go to her Hotel alone? That's Dumb! 😳😡

Great to see Victor Sen Yung years before he became Hop Sing and fed the boys on the Ponderosa.
He also played #2 Son Jimmy Chan in Charlie Chan movies with Sydney Toler.
I love black and white detective shows.
Me too...I love them...I get excited when new series pop up
a VERY young Mrs. Olsen (Folger's coffee lady from the '60s and '70s) !
"Oh, Mrs. Olsen. I just can't make good coffee! My husband is threatening to take little Jimmy away and divorce me if I keep making coffee that tastes like💩!"
A young "Mrs. Olson" long before the "Folgers Coffee" commercials.
I knew I recognized her from something.
Edmund Lowe is great.

Mrs. Olsen was a nice looking woman in her younger days.

no one mentioned "jade"
@@atthebijou8209 anything oriental in those days meant jade or opium.
@@neenaserrao7130Or bamboo.
The lady playing Shelley is the actress who was Mrs Olson in the Folgers coffee commercials for years. Her name was Virginia Christine.

With Charlie Chan's No. 2 son as Tang.
Love Edmund Lowe.
great little story!!

Lucien Prival was well known for playing gangster-types in the Thirties & Forties.
Same story as the 1/22/1949 radio episode of, "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe."
Good one 😉
The music sounds like it is from a western
The lady became a famous promoter of Folger's mountain grown coffee; "The richest kind".
Fake accent
Mrs Olsen the swede
Sweet!
Mrs Olsin!
She played on Perry Mason too
OLSON
wonderful
Ty
Very 40s.
Except it was made in 1951.
Old radio show Philip Marlow with Gerald Mohr has an episode with the Orange Dog of Phoa, so this is probably taken from that.
those were some 'ham and eggs' actors! Yikes!
and those 'genuine' accents!
👍👍
🥜🇫🇯
I knew she was one Sexy momma ⁉️👍🤗🙌👏
Talk about cheese!
Stay away from windows.
Pretty cheap production.
😂😂😂 That old men always has young womens for him....just if he was a bilionaire !
MAN
Poor guy, struggling to read. Life is tough for those with a 4th grade education.
How do you know he was poor? There's nothing in this episode about his financial situation.

"Dumb" means unable to speak. To equate that with "stupidity" is offensive & disrespectful.
This movie is so fake im out of here.
Incredibly stupid TV serial.
No worse than today, maybe better
