Cornel Wilde, Richard Widmark, Ida Lupino and Celeste Holmes, a great story and great acting - superb!. Thank you for showing this!!!😊

[jimzheutlin]

Was she good? “She does more without a voice than anybody I’ve ever heard.” LOL! Great noir!

[User--mnor]

Love anything with Ida Lupino. Cornel Wilde and Richard Widmark are great also. I just enjoy black and white films. This is entertaining enough. Thanks

My mom got me hooked on these old movies the women were so beautifull bk then

[brendajones]

Richard Widmark plays such a great bad guy. I could watch him all day long.

[Richard-fsun]

I love the clever repartee in these old films.

[unknownhuman]

Now this is what I call a movie. Today's craps shoots are nothing compared to these classics. Hollywood is dead these days!!!!

[mikeletaurus]

Why wasn't Miss Lupino better celebrated for her talent in her day? Why is she largely forgotten today? She is magnificent. She is the original female actor to consistently underplay her parts, to great effect. Is it because she was a maverick who moved into directing and underwrote many of her later films? Was she a threat to Hollywood's male chauvinists of the time, who feared strong women in the industry? Please help in celebrating her wonderful contributions to the cinema.

"She does more without a voice than anybody I've ever heard!" Ditto, Celeste. I wonder what Widmark thought about getting 4th billing in the credits. This is a real gem-TY.

Intriguingly rivetting strong Rival with a justifiable Work n Picnicing Memorandii. ❤

I love films from 30s, 40s and early 50s, but damn so many cigarettes that were smoked by all.

[IronEarthDesigns]

Really good. And Cornel Wilde...meeeeow!

[CherryBlossomPlumtree]

He was clearly bitter because his parents named him Jefty. It was a burden he carried all his life. It finally drove him insane.

[Madeline]

I thought is was a really good movie. Thanks for posting.
