He has such an UNLIKEABLE face .. really don’t like that guy
Great flic
Of course they don't trust the woman and keep pushing her about her dodgy background, all the while they don't check the background of the shady out of work ex-cop. Patriarchy at it's finest
Ms. Maidie Norman, who played the maid, was in 'Whatever happened to Baby Jane?' with Bette Davis. Sterling Hayden was in 'The Star' with Ms.Davis
Confidentiality sure has come a long way since 1949.
Realized I saw this already but in better quality ?
Dorothy was a fine dramatic actress as well as a singer in musicals and comedies.
I had seen the film before, but why they dragged the arrest of Dan Duryea, until it was losing the suspense, puzzles me. Ha,ha,ha, that murderer old doctor sure was, to me, unbelievable, trying to run down fire escape and alleys.
Really bad police work back in this time. The Deputy gives the media a conspiracy theory to spread around.
The doctor and secretary don’t seem to understand patient confidentiality? good movie.
Kind of a dipshit ending but I liked the movie.
1:14:43 "Why'd you killer doc? Why didn't you just tie a handkerchief over your mug and stick her up?"
Playing a bad guy to the hilt.
Wow ! Had never seen this crime drama till now. Not bad ! Of course, I'm willing to watch anything with two of my fave actors: Dan Duryea and Sterling Hayden ! So many familiar faces ! Thanks so much for uploading the whole movie ! CHEERS !! 🙂
Who plays Mrs Bennett? She's striking !
Ladies , please bring back the hairstyles of the 40's !!!!
What a provocative title !
I love family movie
Enjoyed watching the movie.
Plot is convoluted. Dorothy Lamour is amazingly beautiful. Dan Duryea is the best villain ever. Every scene he lights up.
Phillip Reed should have been more famous, had everything to have been a big star IMHO:-)
That's Alfret
5:23 Nonsense
I’ve been studying up in film noir during the quarantine. Learning and enjoying a whole new world. Love Dan Duryea- none like him… and the great Sterling Hayden gifted sailor, actor and author of one of my fav books, The Wanderer. Thanks for posting the movies and to all y’all out there- thanks for the interesting info.

Sterling made the perfect "Asphalt Jungle" a year later.
Dan Duryea is wonderful in all his films. Thank you for sharing this movie
9:34 it's alfred the butler from the batman tv series!!
…… Dan Duryea…… Always Playing The Part Of The Slick Talking Bad Ass…… He Was One Hell Of An Actor!!!!
the Chinese is none other than Keye Luke of the Charlie Movies…hey Pop, hey Pop,, Heeyy Pop….
The dames back then always had beautiful gams
What a terrific little surprise this one is. Full of tongue-in-cheek humor I didn't think they had in 'the pictures' back then – especially the film noir.
Another Duryea masterclass! Take a bow, Dan.
Excellent
Great Movie ???‼️
Wasted great actors with a mismash of 7 stories in a poor nonsensical script. Film has Dan Duryea again playing a stooge doing things no one would do. Half comedy half film noir. "C" grade…..
The butler was played by the very handsome James Edwards.
Greetings from Slovakia
The cops in this are so unbelievably stupid that it was painful to watch. Crap film.
I watched this because Dan Duryea and Sterling Hayden, always worth watching, are in it. The plot is good but sometimes this "film noir" is comical (ergo not a film noir). The police procedure is incredibly sloppy. The cop in quite unprofessional. In the scene at an Italian restaurant you hear the Mexican favorite, "La Cucaracha" played on the violin (1:04:10)! Another funny bit is when the psychiatrist is asked for his secretary's references (39:13). It wasn't meant to be funny but it is!
