Tom Neal also 'accidentally' but fatally shot his 3rd wife, Gale Bennett, in 1965. He did 6 years in prison. He was released in 1971 and died of heart failure in 1972.
So much fun! I first saw this on Amazon Prime, but it's been rotated out. Many thanks for this upload! Look for Kristine Miller as the cigarette girl at 4:04, and again at 4:33.
Thanks for posting this favorite "cult" classic! I lost my copy years ago due to VHS failure. I wish the Disney studios would re-create this movie using a Disney World Grand Hotel and the same music. The movie did have a lot to say about relationships and love. Thanks again!
Children, that's the way mama does it! Buddies, that's the way daddy did it! Bravo, Edgar G. Ulmer! I read his interview with Bogdanovich and appreciated this director as a simple man even more! By golly!
22:48 - that's that way mamma likes it or do it. Real talk, it makes a difference where we get our information from, she don't want a man but she wants a companion to just drive her around and she pay for his services, just like the book Maintenance Man, the women characters find it easier to "play footsie under the table with other men" and tell all their business to other people in the club man/female it don't matter when you have money because you pay people for their time...and people think that they doing something different and it's not do people learn anything or do they just plant the seed and be a wanna be, no creativity or self-awareness. Geeshhh
There was a ton of this out there then but certainly this act is in that very same vein. Check out a guy a little earlier named Miguelito Valdez, he was one of the pioneers. His " Blen Blen Blen" is .... Suavacito ! Don't know if he was in movies but some great songs of his are free on CZcams.
+Jackie L SO? Rita Hayworth started this way, as did Carmen Miranda, and Abbe Lane, and Charo, etc. Every fresh new talent needs a break in show business. You want to keep them a secret? I am enjoying this movie. It is well done and you can't beat the time period it was filmed in, for the high standards from fashion, to manners, to articulation and intelligence,to the tasteful decor, to the absence of technological contraptions of all kind, we have to suffer, today. Not to mention no one in the film is fat, has grotesque tatoos, or is wearing a baseball cap backwards, while immersed in a cell phone conversation. I bet if these people could come back today, they would have something to say about our slime bag society?
+Jackie L Look at it this way. It has a good ensemble cast, interesting little 2-person and 3-person scenes (don't the glasses on Mrs. Cavendish's children make them look like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie or TV teleplay?), good musical numbers, and it clocks in at 64 minutes. And Margaret Lindsay would star in a better and bigger-budget film directed by Edgar G. Ulmer the following year - namely, HER SISTER'S SECRET. In between this movie and that one, she would play an important co-starring role in Fritz Lang's SCARLET STREET. She would go on to appear in prominent roles in some more good movies, including CASS TIMBERLANE, THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE, EMERGENCY HOSPITAL, THE RESTLESS YEARS, JET OVER THE ATLANTIC, and PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES, as well as quite a number of appearances in TV dramas and dramatic and comedic TV series episodes in the 1950s and 1960s. I think that she does a very good job in this film; she makes the most of what she's given to do as Rosalind Linaker, and she turns in a very good, thoroughly professional performance - as always, whether in drama or in comedy. And for Edgar G. Ulmer, HER SISTER'S SECRET would be followed by CARNEGIE HALL in 1947, then RUTHLESS in 1948, and a quite a number of interesting films in the 1950s, including three science-fiction films (THE MAN FROM PLANET X, THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN, and BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER), a good offbeat comedy (ST. BENNY THE DIP), a good low-budget Western (THE NAKED DAWN), and what proved to be the last film for Tom Neal's former innamorata, Barbara Payton (MURDER IS MY BEAT).
@@robertbonter1190 You can have that racist 1945 past! At least in 2021 I wouldn’t be in jail or lynched for being married to a Caucasian woman for the last 24 years!
rlweineke. Depends on what kind of sleeping pills it was, though I think barbituates were common then & using those with alcohol is very risky. Till into the '70s the fast-acting type of barbiturates were commonly prescribed for insomnia, although risk of death was higher than with other 'downers' both because barbs are absorbed much more quickly into the bloodstream & even with a normal dose it's very risky to mix with alcohol. A friend of mine used to take phenabarbital daily to prevent epileptic seizures & although this type isn't as dangerous as the 'barbs' prescribed for insomnia, she often had blackouts if she drank, losing consciousness in bars & later having no idea how she got home. I think Mickey Finns often included one of the faster-acting barbs, much more dangerous than phenobarbital (a slower-acting barb), because once it's absorbed into the bloodstream it's useless to have your stomach pumped. As for the accuracy of showing the character's reaction here, you're probably right that she would've been beyond such a fast recovery merely by walking it off. But the film doesn't let us know how many she took or even if it was a barbiturate. She shook out the sleeping tablets into her palm & downed them with two gulps of water. We're not allowed to know how many were left in the bottle when she grabbed it or how many had been in the prescription. Still, it's doubtful she'd have recovered that quickly (unlikely) & it's highly unlikely she'd have felt that good that soon. Poetic license. Contemporary audience members familiar with barbiturates would've known her fast recovery was unrealistic, as they'd have known how hung-over a typical dose left you the next morning. (That's why steady barb-users often ended up getting on amphetamines, developing an addiction to both.) In the '70s & '80s another downer, similar to the earlier sleeping pills, became very popular; called qualudes, these became a popular drug for combining with booze, a potentially deadly combination but popular because the two together caused the user to become very uninhibited, carefree & pain-free-- so much so that users wouldn't feel anything if they burned a hole in their stomach by dropping a lighted cigarette on it as they passed out, waking up the next day puzzled as to how they'd ended up with a raw hole burned into their flesh. Alcohol & other drugs can be dangerous enough by themselves, but the mixture of alcohol with these drugs greatly increases the danger of overdose & death. Many in western society don't think of alcohol as a serious drug so don't think twice about combining drugs & alcohol, don't see the danger of greatly increased addiction to both alcohol & other drugs.
Love the music and old clubs of that era.
I met the Latin singer, Lita Baron years ago in Palm Springs where she lived til her death 4 years ago. Beautiful woman from Spain.
Edgar G. Ulmer must be the king of public domain movies, with the notable exception of Universal studio's "The Black Cat'.
Cute movie with the happy ending thank you
Love these BEAUTIFUL NIGHT CLUBS of the era!!💚why did they ever go away !?😢..lets get them back!!🇺🇸🇺🇸💚
GOOD STUFF!!!!!!! THANKS 4MILLION UPLOADER.
Thanks for sharing this movie. Not a bad little story and well worth watching.
......... Edgar G Ulmer!!! Wonderful stuff. Thank you.
Tom Neal is probably best remembered for his portrayal of Al Roberts in the 1945 PRC classic "Detour."
Well yes, as far as his movies go. But the Tom Neal - Barbara Payton - Franchot Tone scandal was international news, in fact only the career of Tone survived it.
John Barry ...come on what was the scandal about?......

Mr99Boxer, You should've transfer it to dvd.
Great movie, thank you for sharing.🌻🌻🌻

love this old stuff

The music is great south american style.
Gracias por compartir!
Wonder if old Desi Arnaz got some of his 'babalu' inspiration from this. Great trip back..1945? (Let's see, I would be born three years later..)

Scott Walker on Tilt from 1995 has that Desi A. phrase. "Babaloo" in track "Bolivia". Wondering if he meant something deep from these Ulmer films ...?
🔵BESAME💋 MUCHO WAS WRITTEN AND RECORDED BY THE BEATLES.🔴

ULMER 🙋
Great Movie
good one
Lita Baron was so pretty, a small package of dynamite and future wife of Rory Calhoun
Margaret Lindsay oye vey
Ladies powder room attendant got plugged by Kay francis
Did this movie have any purpose other than to show-case new, at the time, Latin-American talent? Margret Lindsay was in it strictly for name value.

OD on sleeping pills prior to dosage regulations: coffee and walking it off, don't think so
What do you know? Nothing. Just a big mouth.
