Oh Hattie McDaniel…She steals every scene she is in!
What a fabulous Actress. I just love seeing her in film.
Good film. It just needed a bit more Chang.
Seinfeld episodes ????????
Flawless cinematography, breath-taking apartments, big spooky house, BRODERICK CRAWFORD, that nightclub number by Constance Dowling (yeah, she's copying Rita Hayworth's Put The Blame on Mame, but she's still pretty spectacular) – this movie has all the noir elements! And how about Blanche Yurka as old Aunt Whatserface? Is she intimidating or what? The only other movie I ever saw her in was A Tale of Two Cities, in which she played Mme DeFarge. Can you believe she told a teenage Bette Davis that she had no future as an actress? This movie got pretty mediocre reviews in its day. Now, it's a jewel of an example of the noir "look" and worth watching for that
Thankyou

Why the blond Girl was always with a depressed face?
Rate 81%/6.5
Noir
Quite apart from anything else, the lighting was fabulous in these films.
Old movies are sooo AMAZING sooooo much better than movies of today ????
Soundctrack killing me. Just too smultzy.
Not so horrible then.
This was great. Word about this hidden gem needs to be spread…
1:04:46 Chang was dropping knowledge ????????????????
Max Payne
Is that a Hammond C-3 that the gentleman is not actually playing and that we're not really hearing? Great organ!
Noioso
I have never wanted a cigarette more…????????
love noir movies????
So many flowy diaphanous gowns, so little time ????
great direction and cinematography. all the visuals. love it except for the racism, but thats kind of unavoidable from 1947.
Gorgeous film & " Chang" was excellent !…Hattie looked great also.
Can't beat black and white films……excellent!
The plot is ridiculous.But the film is good.
Vera Ralston drew me 2 this movie (beyond it already being a 'noir); her modest hesitance, almost innocence, & many unique features of geometry set her far apart from the pack
If a man answers, hang up.
Really enjoyed this movie, with its intrigue and twists. The setting is great: Beautiful old mansion on top of a cliff overlooking the sea. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Great movie, Chris! Thank you so much for showing this to us and those sure were the days!!
Another awesome old movie I've never seen!!!
What a great movie! ????How is it that a lot of "just ok" movies become so well-known, when a little gem like this stays hidden so long. Will definitely watch it again. And thanks, Chris T for sharing this.
Thanks for posting this wonderful film. Loved the happy ending.
Hey you einsteins, it's a movie. Good grief Charlie brown you people are dense
@ 6:30 there is no bullet hole in his back –the bullet hole is seen @ 7:11

Great film especially for it's time…shame they don't make them like this anymore. Thanks for posting!
The soundtrack to the movie is just amazing! Jazz in the beginning is great!????

This is a masterpiece.
I was impressed by some stylized filmography, and was dumbstruck by Ms Anderson's song and dance number. I never imagined such moves could be made in such a costume. The movie was corny and does not qualify as noir in my book. But, it was entertaining.
A very good movie, Thank you,
He would drive me mad with that awful music.
No litter on the streets in Murder she wrote and The Avengers,The Saint.
I love black and white movies on a break and cold early morning in bed!
Thank you Chris T. It means so much to be able watch these old movies from time past and share them with the young ones.
