Below the Deadline 1936 (Crime, Drama) Cecilia Parker, Russell Hopton | American film

Molly Fitzgerald is not unaccustomed to the attention of young men. Yet, she is a little wary of the debonair, praise-heaping Flash Ackroyd who calls on "Abrams and Co. Jewelers" where she works. Her womanly instincts are soon justified. Just as Abrams is closing one the biggest diamond deals, armed men led by Flash break into the office and carry out the biggest heist known in the district.

One of the last Chesterfield Pictures releases; it and sister Invincible Pictures merged into the newly- formed Republic Pictures at the beginning of 1937.

Molly sure likes older men, but this guy looks like he could be her father. Andy should have a heart to heart with his sister Marion.

Born in Poughkeepsie and grew up in and on the railroad tracks all around Hopewell Junction NY. Heard other name droppings such as Chadam, Dover and Pine Plains which would be the old Rt 22 Route running along the state borders. Cool Movie that was made the year my dad was born, in so much better it seems times. I understand the whole Great Depression and the fact we were desperately trying to avoid another world war at these times.... But this generation was different and so much better than what we call society today SMFH! God fearing and respectful people, whom many ended up paying the Ultimate Sacrifice for the freedom of North Africa and Western Europe to the killer Wolf Packs of the Atlantic to the island hopping campaign in the Pacific to invoke "retaliations" that seems to have been setup by the corrupt president of the day, who claimed to have ZERO clues the Japanese were threatening us fo4 a long while over embargoes and tariffs and lacking natural resources while being raped financially to buy the needed materials by the royal crown. Then we the "World's Bank Enforcer" has to find a very good excuse In order to sway an impossible public opinion of the time of staying neutral and out of another BS European war! We learned enough about that garbage during WW1. So Hitler breaks away from the world's banking system and Italy and all the Germans satellites of this era along with the Japanese have broken ties with the world-banksters!!! These people don't like losing money and especially when it involves losing control as well! This is exactly why England was begging our congress and President Roosevelt to declare war against these countries and place control and currency back in place of the world-banksters, that history has already repeated itself not so long ago now with Libya and Iraq and Oops no weapons of mass destruction found anywhere??? SMFH! For those who don't comply with all the terms of the fine print of their permanent debts to the world-banksters who now control their people, government leaders and major industries like natural resources of course oil/gas/coal is the goal. We call this "Giving Them Democracy" for not complying with the terms or agreements of their banksters loan's!!! Slippery slopes, usually lead to extremely deep rabbit 🕳 holes.... which the "Expert's" call history or facts are the exact opposite of. Once you've tought yourself how to properly decipher our history and much of especially world history and or historical events that are complete BS for reason's to or fo4 causing such great amounts of death and destruction around the world. All in the name of democracy we will keep the world in ⛓ chain's. Once you've realized how terribly twisted we are and this false reality of freedom is the sooner the chain's will begin to fall off. This royal 👑 has never not been in total control of and over places, the things haven't changed much other than England and the US have probably pissed off just about every nation out there anymore! God Bless this huge Mess we call America and the world, if people don't wake up soon there will be nothing left to wake up to! And we are very close to that point as we speak.

Yes, kiddies they used GOAT way way back 😂😂

[reynaldoflores]

REALLY. They could've cast a younger, handsomer, much more suitable actor to be Cecilia Parker's leading man.
That Irish guy looks more like her Pappy than her boyfriend !

1, 000 dollars in 1936 is three times that NOW, if not MORE!!!
