- Jazz pianist Tom Stewart (Carlson), who lives on a Cape Cod island community, is preparing to marry his fiancee Meg. Shortly before the wedding, Tom's old girlfriend Vi (Juli Reding) visits and informs him that she will end Tom's relationship with Meg, using blackmail if necessary. While arguing on top of a lighthouse, the railing Vi is leaning against gives way. She manages to briefly hang on, but Tom refuses to help and watches her fall to her death.
The next day, Tom sees Vi's body floating in the water. He retrieves her only to see the body turn into seaweed. Tom tries to forget what he's seen, but over the next several days, all manner of strange occurrences happen. Vi's watch washes up on the beach and mysterious footprints appear in the sand. Before long, Vi's ghost appears and tells Tom that she will haunt him for the rest of his life.
One day, Meg's little sister Sandy shows up and asks Tom if she can see the engagement ring. As Tom shows it to Sandy, he's spooked by a disembodied hand that soon makes off with the ring.
Soon afterward, a party is held for Tom and Meg. Vi's disembodied head makes a small appearance in a photo taken of Tom and Meg, and when he's alone, Vi taunts Tom that she'll now use her voice to tell the world how Tom Stewart killed her.
To add to Tom's dilemma, a ferry-driving beatnik comes looking for Tom, intent on collecting the $5 Vi owes him for her trip to the island. Tom's haste to pay the fellow off causes the shifty man to stick around, where his attempts to blackmail Tom lead to the ferryman's death. However, unbeknownst to Tom, Sandy has inadvertently witnessed the murder.
At the wedding, Sandy keeps quiet about what she's seen, but almost says something at the point in the ceremony where the clergy asks if anyone "can give reason why these two should not be joined in matrimony." Before she can speak, the church's front doors burst open and the flowers all begin to wilt as the candles die out, bringing the ceremony to an abrupt and unpleasant end.
Later that night, Tom goes to the lighthouse, telling Vi that he's leaving the island. Soon after, Sandy listens in to what Tom says. When Tom finds her, he realizes that he's now trapped; Sandy knows too much and could possibly tell Meg and the others. A desperate Tom leads Sandy up to the broken lighthouse railing with the intent to push her over. But just then, Vi's ghost swoops down on Tom, causing him to go over the edge as Sandy watches.
Soon afterward, the islanders go searching for Tom's body. However, the first one they find is Vi's. Shortly afterward, Tom's body is found and placed next to Vi's body, which somehow manages to turn and lay its arm across his body. On Vi's dead hand is the engagement ring that was supposed to be Meg's, signaling that Tom is now stuck forever with Vi.

Timeless Classic Movies Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing this great movie.
Thank You so very much for all these excellent oldies. I subscribed a long time ago, and I highly recommend to everyone that has not done so; SUBSCRIBE!! It is far better than spending a lot of money to all the 'PAY' Networks.

I’m housebound, cannot walk, so these movies are wonderful for me during my day in my chair. Thank you.
Im sorry i hope you know you are not alone!❤💐
Me too! My spine and hip pain keep me in bed most of the time. A chair is limited. I love finding movies here to watch!!
Same here. Hip and knee pain.
Don’t watch Rear Window!
Hi Georgia; Me too. I love these old strange movies, they had to use scenery & going places. Did you know "Roman Holiday" is all filmed on location in Italy with all the Italian music. I'm not Italian but that music was really nice. It stars Audrey Hepburn & Cary Grant. Her first movie or her best or both I can't remember. You look so young to be housebound. God bless you and have a great day. wb.
There's something cozy about classic noir movies.
Yes they are all kool because thankfully they all smoked !!!!
I love noir movie's
You said it best! Throw in a rainy night PJ's fav blanket dark room & popcorn and we got a perfect noir movie night.
You said it!
@@theone1onhigherground496 Totally agree.....just no PJ's for me!
I really like the vintage classics of old. They are far better than the movies of today, as are the actresses and actors!! Thank You so very much for posting these oldies.
Ty for your sevice Marine. Hoorah!
Classic films.
Agreed! And they left things to the imagination which I appreciate.
Oddly, TV actors, are in their 90s taday
Better than most mega-budget modern thrillers. Thanks for the good, clean upload.
That’s not hard to accomplish these days.

Poor Tom
Poor George, on,
A PLACE IN THE SUN
I like the old black and white movies. I watch them on my laptop as I'm cooking in the kitchen. This one was fun, the voiceover, the constant sound of the waves, and the music, classic! Thanks for posting.
This is such a hoot of a movie!! Highly recommended for those who want to relax with some crazy stuff.
Your CZcams channel is better than Turner Classics Movie Channel. Loooooovvvvvve it. Much better movie selections. Great job and thank you so much for giving us movie classic lovers something to look forward to. Your work is greatly appreciated.
Absolutely Thx you😘
Much appreciated 👍
Love this CZcams channel. So sick of t v commercials although there show up here too but at least one can click through them rapidly
Turner Classics is obsolete...
This movie is a real Gem! No Joke!!! The direction, staging, cinematography and acting are all superb! And the detail that went into conveying this tail is just so on point! It's what I treasured of the great film noir of yesteryear!
This is the other side of
A PLACE IN THE SUN
I saw some really negative comments for this film on Rotten Tomatoes and I don't understand why. I really enjoyed it. Considering that it was made in the sixties, I think it was a decent horror film. I'm gonna give it a 4/5 stars. So glad I gave it a chance.
Agree
I agree - this is a good old fashioned, ghost story without blood, guts and gore. Also that is one mean, out to get vengeance ghost. I wrote this same comment above - never blackmail/strong arm someone in a deserted lighthouse. Cause of death: real bad planning.
The best channel for classic movie fans!
Good movie, good acting and good thriller. The actress who played Vi looked a lot like Marilyn Monroe. Very strong resemblance. Scary scenes too! I enjoyed it 🙂❤
Juli Reding. She died quite recently.
Good eats
The moral of this story is, never argue with a ghost.
This is without any doubt a good point :-)
HimJimRimDim 😂😂😂😂
Lol
A guilty conscience will do that
👍
This film actually manages to rise out of the realm of B-movie and becomes a minor achievement. Tom and Sandy's chemistry as actors holds the movie together and actually makes the finale genuinely disturbing. "You're not afraid of me, are you?" "I never used to be". Actually really creepy.
That does a lot for the movie. The child wants a brother-in-law who will be a semi-uncle.
i'm glad I read your comment, as I was just about to shut down the movie because the opening scenes were just soooooo badly acted. But your words encouraged me to continue watching...don't let me down!
Tom and Sandy's chemistry is creepy, especially by today's standards... Considering the year TORMENTED was filmed, obviously it was not a study of pedophilia
@@jamescameron8715it isn't creepy at all.
Watch, A PLACE in the Sun
I needed something vintage to watch tonight,thanks for the upload!
Enjoy
👍
I've been watching you Channel all day. it's Sunday and it's raining all day and I must admit every time I turn the TV on I turned it back off so I can watch another movie this channel is great. thanks for the update and I'm glad I found it. love the classics I have them saved as my favorite. I must admit my eyes are getting tired but I can't stop watching them! good job thumbs up!!!!
When I read the description, I thought this might be cheesy ... but I gave it a shot. I’m glad I did. This is a really good little movie.
Vi was in good shape for being in the water that long. Richard Carlson never disappoints an audience.
It was a supernatural story, not meant to be realistic. In real life, the fish would have eaten her to bones.
@@denisenoe7746 As hot as she looked she would have been eaten alive.
He led three lives !
I first saw this movie about 35 years ago in Spanish- it was called "Sangre en el Faro" which roughly translates into "Blood in the Lighthouse". I looked for it for a long time. Not as scary as I remembered but still worth watching. Thanks for uploading.
No cussing no nudity no cgi to rely on. It is corny but nostalgic, miss my grandma
I don't see it as corny. It's just normal? Lol
This movie scared me so much back in 1964 when I was in the first grade. The screaming and those footprints freaked me out.
I forgot to say that I Love You Timeless Classics, and thanks for all of these great movies you put on for us to watch! They're really great!!
watching old classic murder suspense, loving it thank you keep them playing:😀
Nice!! Thanks!! (Film was released in 1960)
Yes, sorry - was a "copy, paste mistake". Changed it.
Thank you T.C.Movies. Can't wait to get into this one, it looks really good.
I also wanted to give a big thanks for taking the time to give us the
detailed preface you present before each movie. It's very helpful when
deciding whether to watch the movie. Again ~ A big *THANKYOU!*
Oh boy, this is a real goodie!!! Thank you for uploading this for all of us!!!
That body looks amazing for being in the water for a week. No decay and looks fresh as a daisy.
She is just exhaling her last breath ...She'll be wilted in an hour or two.
Loved this movie. thanks a bunch.
I woke up early this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. Found this on CZcams. I found this a great movie! I always look for excellent ghost stories. Thank you so much.
I'm glad they showed Vi wearing the wedding ring at the end so we know she really was haunting him and that it wasn't just his imagination. I also like that Vi protected Sandy from Tom pushing her over the lighthouse bannister. Excellent movie.
Tom was a terrible person. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 He wanted to go back in time and be innocent. That's why he liked his fiance and Sandy and turned away from his former lifestyle of nightclubs and lounge singers. But he could not return to innocence again. He was in a world that didn't suit him when he tried to marry a young innocent girl and he showed his true colors by becoming murderous.
Not supposed to give out spoilers. That's a no no.
Thanks for ruining the movie!! This comment should have been deleted!!
@@chicagogyrl4846 Watch the movie first before reading the comments. That’s what I do. Duh !!!! When you rent/buy a movie or go out to see a movie at the theatre, there aren’t comments to scroll through. Treat CZcams movies the same way. Check the comments AFTER viewing the film. OMG. Some people are so petty. Grow up.
There is nothing like these great older films. A joy to watch and to see all the old places and things.
At the end when they find Vi's body out of the ocean you can see her still breathing if u look real close where her hand is & she is pretty well preserved for being in the sea all that time. These are movies for you, they'll get you every time.
Lol so true. Though, sometimes the scenes are so horrifying it's a relief to know that in real life they are still alive🤣 for when we get too deep into it
As I am an chronic fan of black &white Engilsh movies from very young age,but I was missing those old movies till now, thanks to CZcams that now I can full fill my desire to watch my favourite old movies!! Thanks once again to CZcams.
what a great little flick. Great script and simple means to tell a tale of tortured conscience. Remnants of Edgar Allen Poe transposed to Malibu. The end quite good, the whole thing quite nervewracking. love Richard Carlson, that whisky-n-cigarettes voice.
Oh, I do like this movie!!! Thank you for posting it.
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel cuzI love these old classics!! :)
Once he/she says it's over-- it is over. Know that or suffer the consequences---they not be this harsh, however.
Love your channel, thank you for all of your your wonderful uploads!
This was an enjoyable watch. Thanks for hosting it!
Excellent! Thank you again, and Happy New year!
Good classic thriller! Loved it! Thanks for the upload!
Good movie. Thank you for uploading.
One of my favorites; modest budget, atmospheric, with definitely creepy moments.
I remember being creeped out by this movie as a kid. Thanks for sharing! Seeing it as an adult, I think the woman's corpse is pretty well preserved, considering she was fish food for a week! LOL!
Well, it IS a movie.
Today, that lighthouse would be filled with transients 😢
Im so excited I came across this channel, thank u very much for all the awesome movies!!
You Tube is a treasure trove of wonderful old movies. I'll put up with all the ads you have.
Margaret I pay not to see ads. Extremely worth it.
If you have a smart TV (w/the CZcams app) & a smart phone you can stream the movies onto the TV & there aren't any ads! It's easy, you can watch on a much larger screen, & no ads! I love it!
In the movie
a Place in the Sun,
It was based on a true story
The girl who died
In real life, was supposed to
Haunt the place, where she died
Guy in real life, killed her, but In movie, they mafe him look awkward and shy
A blind Real Estate Agent!? A little difficult to describe a house to someone. Anyway, let me think… Vi or Meg? It’s like Ginger or Mary Ann. Changing the subject, I really enjoyed Tom and the little girl, Sandy’s relationship. It really sweetened up the sour of Tom’s torment.
Tom was going to murder Sandy because he thought she knew too much.
This movie is 10 years before I was born, never heard of it, but I was late for my doctor appointment because it was so entertaining, super fun movie, thanks for posting.
Thank you for sharing! I love all these movies in the "black and white" era. They didn't have to use sex scenes to sell their movie! They just have great plots !😉
Karan Ferrell Right
AND THEY ALL SMOKED !!!! IN FRONT OF CHILDREN TOO !!!! THOSE WERE THE DAYS !!!!
They had sexual innuendo tho
Synopsis is well written, thanks Timeless. I like to read summaries before watching; the year the film was produced is also a good additive.
I love the way the sailor talks! He keeps calling Richard Carson "Dad" Seriously, this tale finishes as a sad commentary on hman nature as Carlson contemplates killing the little girl, the one person in the world who loves him unconditionally and wants nothing from him.
That's the beginning of hippy talk.
@@e-curb Beatniks, actually.
They were before hippies, before beatniks there were hep cats.
Its a good movie even with the bad special effects and the jazz music as a backdrop..its still far better than today's films...
Thank you so much for these wonderful, classic movies. These bring back loving memories of my Mother & I having lunch together and watching these movies on Saturday afternoons! Bless you!😁
Really good classic 60's movie. Suspenseful all through.The man will be haunted by Vi forever. 🖖🏿👁👀👄👰🏼
He shouldn't be haunted. He didn't actually kill her.
@@carycoller3140 he could have saved her from falling. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
awesome movie for Saturday night. Thanks for sharing.
Any rainy weekend day.
I'm watching and it's Thanksgiving 2017.
Richard Carlson starred in many films from the 1950's and was well known to audiences on those famous Saturday Matinees.
Richard Carlson appeared in the film, the creature from the black lagoon. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Didn’t he also work as a double agent fighting the commies ….3 lives.
@@harperstacey9604 ….it was notable for a man in a silly fish costume.
@@allegra0 Richard Carlson's performance in the movie, tormented, was really marvelous. Who cares about the silly fish costume.
@@harperstacey9604 …can’t you take a joke…lighten up for goodness sake.
Great story...never seen this one. Thanks for sharing!
Loved it! I love these old black & white horror movies, they had a lot of style, and so did the women!
By the way, you can see one of Juli Reding (Vi) beautiful naked breasts at 1:03:03, when she appears as a ghost asking Tom to kill the blackmailer. Surely it wasn't intended by wow, that's a bonus :)
@@Zoydian L 😀 L thanks for the laugh May 27,2020
This was wonderful! Very engaging and suspenseful. Great storyliine and wonderful acting It draws you in... you will love it!
Another low-budget movie you should watch is carnival of souls. It's a spooky movie from 1962.
Thank you for this classic gem😘😘😘
I've lived on Cape Cod most of my life so I'm interested to see if there are any references to local places. At any rate, I love old movies so it's popcorn time for me. Hooray for CZcams. 👍
love this!! its so cool !! better than the garbage on tv today i love these classics!!! tcm is great!!thanks!!
The clergyman was played by Merritt Stone. He had bit parts in several movies in 50's and early 60's. Later in life, he co- owned a couple of movie theaters in Los Angeles. The Palms theater and The Meralta theater.
I remember this from MST3000.! Thx for sharing!!
I also saw this movie the first time at MST3000.
Good movie really enjoyed it thank you⭐⭐⭐😀👍
This movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. And I still can't look at it.
Man up and watch it
Good old movie, thank you for posting.
Good grief, what a yarn! Thanks for these great movies!
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL JUST SUBSCRIBED!! THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!!!!!!
Thank you for your nice comment :-)
Kept me on the edge of my seat...good movie... I'm a subscriber! Thanks for the great movies... 👍
Good movie, I always liked this one, but don't movie makers know that just because someone is blind doesn't mean they don't stare straight ahead and NEVER BLINK?! Lol.
Looks like a great movie! I was 6 yrs of age when this film was made; Love the scenery, characters, how they dress, themes and the music of this Era!!
Happy I have retired to enjoy!!!!
the Perfect Saturday movie,
thank you ever so much
First time I saw Richard Carlson as a bad guy, but I love Julie Reding. A real pleasure.
Watch
A PLACE IN THE SUN
it was based on a true story
However...the girl who died, was supposed to have died
Creepy, and well done. Tku for post.
That Vi was a real looker!
Last I read, she's still alive.
A Marylin Prototype!!!!
If I was in his place I would have chosen her than that plain looking meg.
She was beautiful and possessed great stage presence.
@@ed9763 Meg came from money.
Enjoyed... Thank you
I love Allied Artists movies and always think of Allison Hayes in: "Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman"! Then there's Zsa Zsa in: "Queen Of Outer Space"! Thank you for sharing!
This movie creeped me out almost as much as The Sixth Sense. Chilling.
One Of The Darkest Episodes In Mst3k
I guess in the end,he fell for her.
she finally got her man
😆😂😄
🤣🤣🤣
35:06- "The House on Haunted Hill" 1959- the same spooky woman singing in background.
I didn't realize that. Thanks, Mikesb69
Whoa! That kid is going to be having nightmares for the next thirty years.
Thank you!
Poor guy couldn't shake a clingy leech.
Keep up the great movies
And synopsis
Thanks
That was a good movie and yeah i miss my grandmother right now. (someone else commented this and i understand now lol)
I enjoy watching these old movies. Keep 'em comin'!!!
🍿good movie🍿
Very interesting and well done. Tku for post.
Ex girlfriends can be such a pain in the ass.
Even the dead ones.
Great movie. Never seen it before. Thanks.
I love old black & white movies. Suspense and romance especially. The movies were well written, acted and they did not needto take of their clothes to keep your attention. In addition the computer graphics in todays movie do norhing for me.
Very good movie!!!! Thanks
Good of you to share.
Thanks for these!!!
I love these old movies! subscribed!
Who tells a man something like that high up on a balcony overlooking ocean waters? Fool.
You should remember +margaret, she was a blonde.
Luv the movie but how did blind Mrs. Ellis pick those selected flowers?
Using her sense of smell. Other senses are heightened when one sense is lost or diminished.
adam woods you're right,she brought them*
Margaret A movie! 😲
Great classic! I love it!
Thank You!!!
Wow! That's probably one of the best preserved corpses (for being in the water a week or so) I've ever seen in a movie! This was a fun one to watch. Thank you.
I love these old time black and white movies. Such fun to watch!
