Now this is one of the best ones I've seen in a long time over here. Never heard of Lee Bowman, but he's great.
Took me awhile to remember where I had seen "Susan". Finally remember she was Sam Spade's secretary.

Wow! That is why I am a crime noir films fan!
Since rhe beggining this movie got my attention and interest without technologies, nudity, long scenes and complicated ones as they do it now. Just in one hour and 20 minutes the crime is solved with an interesting plot and logical deduction from the character. And of course, I love the classy fashion of the time...
Thanks for sharing and Iooking forward for another one!

A wonderful movie with a very strong Christian message and a search for an artistic masterpiece of Joshua and the fall of the walls of Jericho. This I a movie that was made when many Biblical masterpiece have been produced in Hollywood like The Ten Commandments, Ben Hur, The King of Kings, Samson and Delilah etc. Thank you for uploading this gem of a movie. May Our Lord and God Jesus Christ Bless you and us all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love watching old movies for the nostalgia. The clothes, hair, settings, props. But that had to be the ugliest sofa I've ever seen, I've never seen another like it.

The movie is a mystery thriller in which the reporter protagonist functions pretty much like a private detective. Along the way the reporter meets with a variety of disquieting or grotesque villains, such as a male/female couple of pseudo-preachers well-equipped with revolvers. The plot is ingenious and convoluted, though not very plausible. Still, the movie does offer a number of clever finds and sharp-tongued quips.

Very much worth watching. Satisfying to the end and filled with great actors.

The Musical Score by Marlin Skiles (did I read it right?) is so beautiful 🙆
Sometimes I listen to these clássic movies' soundtracks over and over again 💛

[johngalvin]

That was worth watching. Thanks for sharing. I know it's b/w but a tailored suit always looks so stylish. It seems that this is a time when everybody dressed smart & it always appealed to me.
