- It's murder on wheels when a trucking company loses several vehicles in a series of mysterious crashes--and a company honcho dies in a road accident that is equally inexplicable. Company driver Robert Lowery soon finds himself enmeshed in the whodunit, which involves a café truck stop, an ex-gangster mechanic and indications of sabotage.
Director: William Berke
Stars: Robert Lowery, Pamela Blake, Michael Whalen, Dan Seymour, Clem Bevans

The 'B' (or less) pictures back in the day are far better than today's blockbusters. Now, mediocrity abounds.
Back in the day scriptwriters were literate people, well versed in the classics of literature. Some of America's greatest writers were employed by Hollywood to craft scripts. Nowadays the beancounters rule and the bottomline is the only concern. And so it goes.
This movie has more twists than a pretzel, but no carbs! Terrific!
Well...actually, the trucks had carbs...carburetors...lol..!!
Simple but fun little film…. Unusual in who the culprit is.
@@marbleman52 No fuel injection for them! 🚚
Love the opening montage of ridiculous accidents🤣
Hence the name….Highway 13.
Yep. That’s how the population got so big. Accidents
That creme colored coupe just launched into space. Cool fireball😂😂😂
The immediate post WW II Era in our country was our best days. It's been down hill ever since. Last time I saw this on TV was in the early 1960s.
That's true. WWII was thw part of the plan,where the final phase of the destruction of humanity,where the depopulation would continue with more measures and not just wars,as also the point were they developed the technology,that would made their plans viable. TV and cinema were their first tools,to program and manipulate humanity.Then they added internet and digital technology,to completely destroy everything and everybody. Every poison they add to their weaponery,is addictive and they advertise it,by making it a fashion. Tatoos,Smoking,drugs,videogames,internet,tablets,pcs,mobiles etc etc.
The best noirs 1944 - 50 single best year 1949.
Agreed frankchary
For white middle class people, yes. Not so great for the black soldiers that sacrificed and spilled their blood for our freedom then came home to use the “Coloreds Only” water fountains and sit in the back of the bus.
An innocent time with nothing to worry about!
Always liked Robert Lowery, maybe because he reminded me of Victor Mature and having similiar roles.
I like Victor Mature.
Nice to see actress Mary Gordon here in 1948 playing the cook/wife of 'Pops'.
She played Mrs Hudson in the Basil Rathbone days of Sherlock Holmes a few years earlier.
Good movie and cast actors, thank you! Ron PTL USA
great old film....bravo
Good movie. Thanks for sharing.
Short and sweet. Good film.
Enjoyable movie.
Always fun to see an oldie as I'm one. Glad Micky Rooney or Jack Carson isn't in it. Good to see all the old cars and trucks. Can't hear well but this movie came through clear as a bell.
Pops (Clem Bevans) at 68 has to be one of the oldest murderers in movies! He sure looked older than 68!
His first movie of any note was a Henry Fonda one. He did so well the offers came rolling in. Over the next couple of decades he was in 40 or so movies.
Fellow actors loved him. Nice life.
Thanks for the spoiler.
@@charlesroberts8242 Do you really read comments before watching? My sister used to read the last page of novels and I thought that was weird.
Anhhhhh thee late 1940s😂 If commercial drivers then could have imagined what luxurious tractor trailers we take for granted these days. Their minds would be blown
Lyle Talbot, hardest working man during this time.
What picture didn't he show up in?
GOOD MOVIE THANK YOU
Well done!
Interesting movie 🍿
This is a movie, with people and things. I'm hoping there will be more things.
Thanks!
Great flick with some clever dialogue. The old man, however, keeps swallowing his lines, or maybe I'm just going deaf. But this is a cool flick, no doubt about it.
Stanley Price was the dialogue director. I don't know if he was related to Vincent.🦹🦇
They never seem to stamp out their cigarette butts. They just chuck 'em away. No wonder Smokey is pissed!
Good movie
Good film!
1949 movie, actually.
Really? Thanks, I didn't know that.😒🙄
Love Dan Seymour
unbelievable amount of ads. they start before you're even through the credits. what a shame!
We have appealed to CZcams to decrease the number of ads. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
@@kitparker9448 Good luck with that one! That's how CZcams makes it's 💰....thru ads.
We do have a say in the matter of # of commercials; please continue to watch our movies as there should now be less commercials. Keep me posted.
Adblock for CZcams works fine for me on my pc. I can't get anything to block ads on my Apple phone.
I only saw one short commercial in the middle
👍 Tnx
VERY nice way 2 end poetic justice, two perpetrators got instant barbecued a way should be! Kudos to the script writer!
While it is great that people take the time and effort to post movies, I wish that they would put them on at above minimum volume. I have my speaker at max in order to hear the dialogue then the adverts come on and Boom. They blow the doors off.
I am sorry you are having problems with the audio. Are you having this issue with our other movies? We've not received any negative feedback about the audio on this film. The fact remains that you did, and we want happy viewers. Kit, The Sprocket Vault
@@kitparker9448yes me too I love your channel the vintage movies ,& I'm a subscriber .. but I too have the same trouble ..I have excellent hearing...but can barely hear your movies. Even w my vol turned up on high ...thanks!!...great movie ,sad ..but good ole movie I great actors & actresses. Mary Gordon🤎,Micheal Whalen was in Shirley Temple movies !!Lyle Talbot.....to name a few......the lead Man was great also. ... hubba hubba...that generation of Man .....whew 👍😘😘& tough as nails
Same here, volume is low, great movie but i haft to pause film when my furnace comes on because i cannot hear the movie.. Thanks for posting, i did enjoy the film., This was made a year before i was born.
Sorry for the tardy response. We're working on this problem, but are at the mercy of CZcams. Keep watching!
Insurance covers our losses". Very tactless comment consider loss on Henrietta.
I remember those Nash cars.
When I was old enough to reach the pedals on my uncle's '48 Ford p'up I was driving for his farm doin' anything to make a $.
It's not too obvious at the 13.20 mark that the crashing truck is a toy!
Robert, Actually, it was 13:25.
Meh - With the exception of how the guy got out of jail and not mentioning the deaths and injuries in the news article on the trucks and suspicion of foul play, no surprises. He is miraculously found not guilty at the end. It was better than nothing.
Any idea who distributes these films for television in the United States or are they public domain?
Yes.
Robert lowery, ABC News, London
I guess the color leaked out of the film
No Runaway Truck Ramps like they have now. Another toy car goes off the cliff at the end!
That ambulance toward the end was almost another!🚑
No hill side was harmed during the making of this film.
Doris didn’t deserve Hank. She never trusted him when he told her something until she saw with her own eyes 👀 and that shows that she had to have her own proof. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Only a naive girl would take things at face value, women should be sure before they marry .There seemed to be many odd things about Hank .
You can’t expect psychologically sound character studies. In these movies characters do what increases tension, drives the plot, or makes the audience dumb how stupid the character is.
😮
This had to be one of the sorriest movies I’ve ever seen, and I’m a classic movie buff. Just watch and you will see it’s what the girl didn’t do in the end which had my saying this is who you picked to Marry she’s useless.
I know, I know, but the movie was made in 3 days, so let's give them credit for at least trying! Comments are always appreciated -- good or bad!
This was a good movie 🍿 except for one ☝️ thing, Hank never 👎 did get his pie 🥧 ala mode 🥧🍨😋😋🥰🥰
Maybe Mrs. Hudson threw it at him.
Warning: massive number of model trucks and cars destroyed in this film…
27:56 Pie a la mode can make anything better, even negligent homicide! 🤤
And before that, he didn't even eat it. Only took a couple of bites of the oatmeal. (8:00+ -)
US Highway 13 runs from Fayetteville, NC to Philadelphia, PA. There are no cacti or deserts, as in the opening titles. Someone needs to learn a little about geography before employing this title !!
True. None the less unlucky. '13' where ever it was.
@@craig4867 I'm from 1948 and I'm ticking like a " Timex " but yeah I was a baby and these people are dust . Still a pretty good movie . The opening was a drawing someone did who did'nt have clue where it was .😊 Boss said , Flunky I need a come on for the Saps , and there you go , Boss happy 😊
Actually, it runs from Philadelphia to Fayetteville.
@@90FF1 Don't walk under ladders, watch out for black cats, and don't break mirrors. How are you with the number 666? Never understood how people could believe in such nonsense.
THE SCOTTISH LADY WHO POKED HER HEAD OUT THE KITCHEN WAS ALSO MRS HUDSON IN THE BASIL RATHBONE SHERLOCK HOLMES FILMS 1939 TO 1946 🙈🙊🙉
can't hear it.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write. I just checked it on my computer and the audio is okay. Do the other movies on our channel sound okay?
corporate corruption way out in California!
B movie.
Umm... Thank you.😒🙄
The only good thing about this are the crashes. Pretty unbelieveable plot and dialog.
You're partly unjust: though the plot is somewhat questionable, I must say, the actors are brilliant and the thrill is pretty there, too. Now, the weakest spot in a plot (nice rhyming!) is the fact that Frank, himself raised the suspicion when nobody else didn't - he could've continued with the scam since everybody believed those were accidents, not having a slightest reason for "rocking the boat"...
DIALOGUE
🔵BUT MICKEY MOUSE🐭 DIED😢🔴
I'm done. Eleven minutes in and already two comercials.
I don’t know 🤷♀️ what you might be watching this movie 🎥 on but I watch my movies 🍿 on utube and I don’t get the commercials on them. The only ones who have the commercials are the audible radio 📻 shows.
@@winonamassingill7895 you tube has commercials unless you pay a monthly fee.
@@winonamassingill7895 CZcams definitely has ads, that's how they make their 💰...you must have either an app to take out ads or premium CZcams service. Just sayin'
@@judibiggerstaff8054 I watch youtube on my pc and absolutely never have any advertisements whatsoever and I am not paying any fees.
I see no ads on you tube
