Miss Wonderly I was not aware you were not sure about this flick, wow! I hope you have a chance to actually stay awake and watch it! It rocks, I think!
I have to admit I'm a HUGE fan of Edmond O'Brien so anything he's in has me glued hard, and of course Albert Dekker, B guy mostly but I dig him in anything including this. So I guess my point is you don't have to only groove to it for Burt and Ava, though they are gorgeous and Burt always a great job (he's a noir dude with chops IMO). -
Man this flick is a trip! What a joy waiting on the DVR when I got home tonight after a long day and week! Outasight, man!!! I'm totally grooving to this flick and the Joel McCrea fans have to be rocking out too! Fay Wray is sooooooo sexy and cool! And wow, always love Robert Armstrong! Intense, shocking, horror film, beyond genres as so many pre-codes were! Loving it!
-
Miss Goddess, very cool! Yeah, I love it! It's on RetroTV, which is a digital sub-channel carried by a local channel, it rocks, they have a lot of great old programs on there (waaaaaay better than TV Land ever was honestly).
-
One of the local cable channels has been carrying "The Rifleman" lately and I've really been totally grooving to it! Noir and hard-hitting crime on the range! Love this stuff! Anyone else enjoy this series?
-
Great noir! Just settling in for an awesome noir flick! Thanks, TCM! Great performance by Burt, Edmond O'Brien and Albert Dekker! And oh yeah, Ava!!!

Fred, I will agree, awesome flick!!! I actually watched that and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN a week or so ago, as I finally broke down and purchased the Universal box set of some of the "Frankenstein" films, put out a few years ago. I mainly purchased it to get the commentaries, and those are great, I may add!
-
Miss Wonderly, I totally grooved hard to STRANGE BARGAIN!!! Very low budget RKO, it takes the "Leave It To Beaver" realm and tosses in some crime and underbelly stuff to mix it up good! It's not a GREAT film by any measure, but it was very watchable and sucked me in for it's entire relatively short running time. Plus a slick turn by Henry Morgan as a wily detective. Hope TCM airs it again soon so you can catch it!
I hung in for DARK PASSAGE, always dig that flick, same with WHITE HEAT. I had to eventually do some stuff, and missed most of THEY LIVE BY NIGHT and SIDE STREET, though I did see part of HIS KIND OF WOMAN, and most of SUDDENLY, which I always like to watch no matter how many times I've seen it (same with most of these others)! All in all, a very groovy noir-kinda day
-
I really grooved to part 1! Awesome stuff, including the short films that were shown throughout the evening! I really hope that when they release the documentary box set that they include some of these films as extras, that would be really groovy!
-
I've been thinking about getting that set! But $15 I haven't seen! I've seen $72, this is for the latest complete box set of the Universal A&C films.
-
Really dug STRANGE BARGAIN!!! Nice little mystery with a twist, with noir overtones!
Also really enjoyed DARK PASSAGE!! Though I've seen it a zillion times, never fails to impress!
Up next: WHITE HEAT!!
-
Grooving on the MAD LOVE and THE LEOPARD MAN posters! Very cool!
-
What a great day of flix!!! Including one I've never seen before!!! If you are loving crime and noir films, you will be grooving hard on Monday, Nov 1st on TCM!!!
6am STRANGE BARGAIN--never saw this one before and totally looking forward to it!
This is followed by DARK PASSAGE (Bogie and Bacall!!), WHITE HEAT (Cagney!!), THEY LIVE BY NIGHT, SIDE STREET, HIS KIND OF WOMAN (really looking forward to this one!!), SUDDENLY (Frankie Sinatra doing some amazing work!) and WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS.
Rock out!
-
Still catching up with it all as I had to work on Friday (darn work it gets in the way of my TCM watching!!). Loving all of it! I particularly enjoyed the horror spoof with The Bowery Boys as I haven't seen that before! I'm really looking forward to THE GHOUL, particularly after all the positive comments here--will catch that soon!
-
Flash I agree, that would be great to see a box set!!!
Meanwhile, I'm grooving on the Boys, and looking forward to their horror spoof this Saturday!!
-
Really looking forward to this weekend! Thank you, TCM!!! For an AWESOME lineup of classic horror!
-
Both are very good, but wow...VAMPYR just blows me away every time I watch it! What an intense and atmospheric flick!
-
Kyle, my main man!!!! Yes! I absolutely LOVE this film, a sort of sequel to DRACULA, but with a different name at a different studio! This is one of my favorite later Lugosi flicks, and thanks for the poster, my man!

It's a great film and poster, and I dig Barthelmess!
-
From Constance Bennett's day on Friday, what a great film, Claude Rains is amazing, as is Audrey Totter and of course Constance Bennett!!! And Fred Clarke (I can never watch him without thinking of Burns & Allen show!) was great as well! And for tough guys, you had Jack Lambert making an appearance! Loved the film!
-
Bela!!!
Numero Uno!!!Then Karloff....Lon Chaney Jr...
And runners up: Lionel Atwill, Dwight Frye, Lon Chaney Sr, George Zucco...

Caught this film this week on TCM and really love it! I've seen it before, in fact I saw it well before ever catching the original that it's a remake of, HIDEOUT. I ended up thinking the original a bit better, but have a fondness for this one, as I saw it first. It still made me bawl at the end! And Marsha Hunt, wow! Just love her!
Thanks for airing these films that are not all that well known these days! -
Sad to hear this.
Thanks for the photos, folks!
It would be awesome if TCM would do a day long or evening tribute, with some Tarzan and Bomba films!
-
Movie Professor, wow, that is great background information on Lewis Stone! I have wondered too about his relationship with LB Mayer, and your information was great! Thank you for a very interesting read!
I have to admit I'm a HUGE fan of Edmond O'Brien so anything he's in has me glued hard, and of course Albert Dekker, B guy mostly but I dig him in anything including this. So I guess my point is you don't have to only groove to it for Burt and Ava, though they are gorgeous and Burt always a great job (he's a noir dude with chops IMO).
How about some Bowery Boys movies.
