  4. Wait a second. 2 slugs to the chest at that close range even it it was a measly .38 there's gonna be some blood…Both on the mug that got plugged at all over the floor…Not a blink about cleaning it up..And they dragged the stiff to the car and shoved him in, not trail, no blood on their clothes? What's goin' on? They're trying to pull a fast one on us? (a general gripe about nearly all American films from the 30s to the 60s.—was there some code that didn't allow blood to be shown, even in war films and cowboys?.. A guy gets 4-6 shots and not a drop. ) ..

  8. Excellent, thank you. This is an ideal late movie–I see it is now 1.23 a m where I live. The film is well paced and written and acted. And there was plenty of location work which always makes a pictur more convincing. It reminds me of Shield for Murder with Edmund O'Brien. In that picture O'Brien was desperatley trying to get his share of the American dream, and failing. In The Man Who Cheated Himself Lee J Cobb's character showed an underlying pessimism which was obvious from the start. He knew Jane Wyatt was no good and would dump him sooner or later. Yet he was in the grip of obsession.

  9. Excellent movie.Thanks. What a user, she's on murder charges and still trying to seduce another suckef,this time trying to make a deal with her lawyer to get her off by bribing him.Wicked woman

  12. LJC…On The Waterfront…..compelling….best scene here?…the last; that look between them sums up the age-old, eternal attraction between a man and a women, whatever they do…masterly!

  18. The murder was a self defence situation. Further more in front of a policeman who could have witnessed to that. Should have been easy to prove but then..there wouldn't have been a movie, which was never the less enjoyable ?

  19. Narcissists are often toxic and they have an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others feelings, an inability to handle any criticism and a sense of entitlement. I used to think that love could cure anything but it only fed my narc's enormous ego. It is important to be wise when dealing with a narcissist and I’m glad that cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my husband’s phone. I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with Cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both his new and deleted messages from my phone without having to touch his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all his secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. I live in California USA and able to access my husband’s phone messages through a remote link on my phone even while he was away in Canada cheating on me. I’m finally going through divorce with lots of evidence against him. I read all his deleted and recent chats on Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram. Hacker Gavin also helped me in checking if my phone number is being hacked and he secured all my numbers from unauthorized access with a very powerful encryption software. You can contact this great hacker “Gavin” through his email cyberhackinggenius@gmail. com and WhatsApp: +19256795146 . You can also call and text his Cellular number on +16265152216 and thank me later for this great information.

  21. pretty cool with the cars with the wheels covered….no use checking the security cameras at the airport….was smoking all the rage back then? man..i just watched a bogart and he must've smoked two packs in that movie..same with "ironside"

  22. This is a fab film , I love the oldies, proper storylines and great acting. I’ve seen it twice now, just as good the second time. Even the scene where a guy jumped on the roof of a car and climbed up and into a building with such agility, was brilliant. I found it gripping especially near the end. The scarf scene and the cop looking for them. Thank you for sharing a brilliant oldie 🙂

  26. If this was the Coumo brothers, Young Detective Chris will just go along with Big brother Coumo even if Young Chris hints that his old bro is the murderer
