  1. I came to watch this Glenn Ford film again and I love it even more with this watching. Just a beautiful film…unlike todays movies there is dialog, a real story and fine actors. Why don't theaters all bring back the greats from late 1930's through early 1960's…WOW the audiences that saw them before, WOW the new generations that missed them. Run each excellent film of the Golden years on a screen for at least a month…$1 or $2 a pop!

  2. Glenn Ford was a good actor 🙂
    He shows it here 🙂
    Thank u so much for the fantastic movie in Noir 🙂

  3. When I feel stressed and depressed and doubtful about the direction our world is heading, I just watch an old black and white film or two and everything seems to get somewhat better. I miss those happy times when Grandpa used to take me to the movies and then we went for banana splits or sundaes at the neighborhood drug and fountain across the street from the theatre. It was a whole different and much safer world. Glenn Ford was always a favorite of mine. Then Gramps and I would drive home in his 1951 Ford Coupe.

  4. Glen ford, one of the biggest stars in the world, voted number one in the late fifties. So sad that towards the end of his life ,when he became ill that he was taken for half his fortune by Cynthia Haywood a real gold-digger, and later on his nurse, appointed to look after him took for a ride ripping him off, it seems as though the fitional femifatles he met in his movies became his realty. In the end his family looked after him

  6. 1:30:44 The film so soon ended within two minutes. It looks like the director had lost his patience and wanted to finish the film in a rush because the boss of the picture company cut the budget.

    What a rubbish ending with so many loose ends.

    And now the river club bandits knew that Joe came back there and they would definitely try to get the money back by all means. It turned out to be a joke to build a new building with the money. Wasn't there a better solution?

  7. MR SOFT TOUCH:
    A World War II veteran, Joe Miracle (Glenn Ford), comes home to find that his nightclub has been taken over by gangsters and his business partner has been killed. After reclaiming the money that is rightfully his, he is forced to hide out in a settlement house due to a case of mistaken identity. There, he befriends the house manager, Jenny Jones (Evelyn Keyes). While being pursued by gangsters and a persistent journalist, Joe learns a valuable lesson about altruism.

  12. I've been looking for this movie for a long time – thank you for making it available! I had about given up on even trying to find it, and it popped-up in my suggestions.

  13. What a turkey!
    (Not the Christmas kind)
    And could Evelyn Keyes, a real knockout, have looked worse?
    That's what I call a triumph for Hollywood makeup.
    Convoluted mess!

  14. What a pleasant surprise. It brought back memories of the old days that I had forgotten. Thanks for posting. It allowed me a peek into the past.

  15. A really unusual Christmas film which is in parts unusually edgy for a yule tider, I really enjoyed this little known movie and Glen Ford Is As Usual Superb! Thanks For Posting!

  16. I like it when it's not over-sentimental. If there is ever a time to think of others in need, this is it. I only hope that I'd do the same.

  23. When Miss Jones, Evelylen Keyes, spoke her first line I thought it was Diane, Shelly Long from Cheers. I wonder if Shelly ever saw an Evelyn Keyes movie.

  24. They didn’t have safety glass in those days! My dad was in a. Accident and went through then windshield. No seat belts either. He ended up having to have facial reconstruction

  28. People that don't see "the good in these movies" are not aware of how much the public has been desensitized to think "morals and ethics" don't matter and why they view "the bad guy" who is the "hero?" This is why these are the way they are today?

  30. A forgettable movie although I am glad I got to see Glenn Ford again. I do not agree with this being classified as a film noir because there are too many funny distractions and incredible situations. I would single out Harry Shannon as a believable Irish police sergeant. He mastered the accent.

  31. But he's the wife beater the lowest thing man can do is beat his wife…..
    Miller…my boy, are you married?
    No
    Then skip it….LOL

  33. Love the line. "Why in such a hurry? The day is young, but you're not".???
    If anyone ever plays Glen Ford's life. It should be Colin Farrell. They look so much alike…

  43. In this movie (I'm so glad i saw it AND it was one i hadn't seen before); the social worker shows up at a domestic violence scene. These days the cops have to do that job. What happened to that kind of social work?
    This movie has some ideas going on; i liked it very much.
    What if Orin Jannings, the writer, was a name for someone on the blacklist?
