84 years later this movie is very much worth the watch it is very suspenseful and terrifying on a level that modern movies no longer seem able to capture excellent acting too
and yet you watch the modern movies?
@@peacenow42 What are you, 12 years old?
I'm 62 and have watched a ton of movies. Many times I try and get out of my comfort zone and watch, say, a modern teen movie. Not all movies are for everyone, and dissing other's does not make your own choices look smarter imho.@@wheretonow3106
Oh, and Joan Hickson as the maid! 50 years later she starred as Miss Marple in the BBC series. Life may be short but it can encompass so much
Agatha Christie wanted Hickson to play Miss Maple, she was the best one.
@@saran3214 agree!!
@@saran3214 Isn't it true that Dame Agatha saw Ms. Hickson in the stage production of this show and told her she wished she'd play "her Miss Marple" someday?
@@kassistwisted I know she saw Hickson in a play, it could have been this one, and sent her the note saying she wanted her to play Miss Marple. You may be right.
Thanks for that info.
Basil Rathbone was perfection in anything he was in wonderful actor, I think he came back to England to make this film, very good watch just lovely to see these old films.
He wasn't born in England.
There hasn't been a modern day so called "Blockbuster" that can hold a candle to this film. Thanks PF
Basil Rathbone makes a fabulous lunatic killer. What a good old British film.
Great film Ann Harding at her best matching wits with Basil Rathbone at his best. Superb!
It is one of the masterpieces created by Agatha Christie. It is short but the last part was breath-taking. I wish there is a way to see this in high definition.
Did she actually poison him??
Ann gave the performance of her life in this one; she is every bit as great as Basil in this. Repressed and quiet, she's holding in terrified emotions and does it so very well (in the last 20 minutes, I mean).
Excellent acting by all. Ann Harding didnt get big super star billing but she could act better than most that did. Basil Rathbone gets to show his range. Variations of pace in film are just right. I hope this gets the full restoration treatment
Good movies and basil outdid himself! Anne was spectacular too!
I love this film. Ann Harding and Basil Rathbone together, what a team!
These two were absolutely brilliant. The whole cast took me on such a ride.
Here was an Era when “going to the movies” was worth paying for.
Never trust a stranger. Or anyone else.
Amazing how Basil switches from charming to pyschotic in nothing flat. Oh my he is giving her a lovely scarf that he'll likely use. The frenzy of the music. What an actor. Wonder if he was friends with the extremely multi talented Christopher Lee. Thank you.
Woah, I didn't know that! Thanks for the fascinating fact! 😄
To find an Ann Harding film I've never seen...you made my day. 🌹
Basil was so terrifying in the last 30 mins of this film!
Bazil Rathbone, from psychopath to Sherlock Holmes... A great actor. The British of the era were all great
Basil really was a veteran of the trenches. He knew first hand the horror, so it wasn't much of a stretch to imagine the madness it could induce.
This movie took me by surprise. Holy cow! Some serious acting going on in it. Harding and Rathbone go toe to toe in a scenario that is altogether too modern. I was slowly taken in, just as was her character, found myself wondering and at times making excuses for him, then BAM! I have not been that transfixed for any movie in a long time. THANK YOU for posting!
DID SHE PUT POISON ON HIS COFFE? OR HE DIED OUT THINKING HE HAD BEEN
POISON??
@@marthamendoza8731 he died thinking he'd been poisoned
Well said KE, I basically echoed you just to vent. That became a riveting movie as it went along, Wow is right!
@@eannh4928 Brilliant!
I love Ann Harding and Basil Rathbone together ! Thank you for this wonderful film !!!!!
This is what is meant by “... a dish served cold”.
I’m watching this movie again and it’s still as good now as it was when I first saw it.
Another Rathbone masterclass.
It took me a few minutes to realize I had already seen this, but I love Ann & Basil & remembered it was a REALLY GOOD movie, so I watched it again, which I seldom do. Thanks, PF!!!
The Peer Gynt (in the hall of the mountain king) music when he is in the cellar adds a lot for the drama. Great acting by Basil and Ann! They both really sell it.
What dramatic acting. Agatha Christie really could write a great story.
What performances, quite talented! ❤️ Have never seen Basil cut loose like this! 😲
the last 2O minutes are worth the price of admission.
Girls, listen to the way this guy , played by Rathbone, is soft-soaping the lady. of the house. Take heed and warn your children, especially your daughters. Waxing romantic has it's place only in Romantic Novels and Poems. The rest can be said with flowers. 1937. 80 yrs ago. Times haven't changed much.
Ann Harding...What a sweet angel she was!!
Lovely movie featuring the much under rated Ann Harding and the wonderful Basil Rathbone in an unusual romantic role
He was in an early movie as a romantic role with Constance Bennett.."Sin Take A Holiday"
Christena Smalls I’ve watched it, that’s a great early Rathbone movie!
I have never heard of this movie, but it was excellent!! Love Ann and Basil What an ending!!
I can't believe how scary this movie was. And they didn't have any special effects, just 2 magnificent actors.... I shouldn't watched it late at night. I suggest not to read brief description of a movie beforehand, because all the while you will be in anticipation of bad thing coming...Basil Rathbone never disappoint!
Money changes everything. The Peer Gynt song "Hall of mountain king" adds a perfect, crazy touch. Basil was amazing actor.
Fritz Lang used the same music in "M". Something eerie in that coincidence...
Love getting on the Flix time machine.
I truly admire the fashionable hats worn by the ladies of England in the late 1930's. I would enjoy seeing them re-created.
That really held my attention, there is a later remake of this film, but for me this is the best. Again thanks so much Pizzaflix, takes my mind off the present world❤️ Yes remade in 1947. With John Hodiack and Sylvia Sidney.
I never knew Basil Rathbone could be so absolutely creepy!
Basil Rathbone, Bad Guy ! Wacko too ! Very unusual ! TNX 4 posting !
Basil Rathbone will always be Sherlock Holmes to me ...
I've heard/read more than once that he ultimately regretted "being" S Holmes because he became type cast & had trouble obtaining other roles. Personally, I would watch him in ANY role---such a fantastic actor!!!
I have always enjoyed watching Basil Rathbone
Basil Rathbone creepily like a cross between Rees-Mogg and Lee's Dracula with a dash of Hitler in this 😱. Interesting for some archive London footage, and also Hickson (famous on British TV only about 50 years later!)
BRAVA to Basil and Ann. Kudos to the Co star's!!
What a pleasure to see acting and actors act!!
Such a treasure to see Thank you 😊 ! Enjoy the Show Folks 🍿
Dude 34 mins in and I just realized this wasn't a Sherlock Holmes movie. God I am silly.
I thought this was a little known Sherlock Holmes with Rathbone starring, LOL but I wasn't disappointed!
Wow, I didn't see THAT coming! Good flick!
Ann Harding -- Excellent Effort
Thank you P F. Great film 🎥 very much appreciated 👍🇬🇧😊🙂
Oh my gosh. She was so smart to keep talking!!!!!😨
What wonderful performances!!!♥️
This movie should be Restored. Excellent plot acting directing and cast of characters. Loved it. A-1
Music by the adorable Great Britten (Benjamin). Love him & his music!
Am I being picky, to say I wish some modern technology could clean up the sound and eliminate the distracting hiss?
With today's cinematic advances, wouldn't it be fantastic if someone could take wonderful old movies like this and clean up tiny imperfections and re-introduce them.
Based on her story Philomel Cottage. Different, less glam setting but spooky! Great story!
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
@@PizzaFLIX 😄😆
Around the 58:00 minute mark, did anyone catch when the doctor picked up a book and asked Basil's character if he "... had an interest in Criminology?" This was a year before he appeared for the first time as the great Criminologist (and Detective) Sherlock Holmes, alongside Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, in "The Hound of the Baskervilles".
What a movie. I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing it
This has got to be one of the most remarkably wonderful movie,the final science is just top notch.Thank You so very much for sharing😎😎😎👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼😎👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👌🏻
I can't believe just how young Joan Hickson and Basil Rathbone are !!
I just felt this classic 80's song & the lyrics were almost tailormade to fit this eerie film.
another great old fim, "that's when we go to the fair" .... somehow creepy ...
whoever gave this movie a thumbs down is a major nincompoop
Joan Hickson, the simple maid, would have no doubt looked back at this and thought "despise not the day of small things." (Proverbs) when she played Agatha Christie's female sleuth - Miss Marple - many years later. A London friend who ran a vintage clothes 'barrow' in Brixton market from the 50's to the 80's appeared as an extra in many films. The casting people used to ring her up and tell her what they needed..."3 of your friends and yourself in full 30's outdoor attire,middle class..." etc etc. Not only did she get the extra fee but a daily hire rate for the clothes! I took a photo of the TV when she appeared next to Elizabeth Taylor on the staircase in front of the picture of the Madonna and child in "The Mirror Cracked." Rita was always used as a stand in for Miss Hickson being the same height, build & having the same hair style. Rita's son, also now with the Lord, turned his hobby of collecting old (war) medals into a business. He created and reproduced whatever was required by the film and stage companies. No doubt - as he always made a few 'extras' just in case any were lost - there are many that ended up on "Bric-a-brac" stalls on their way to antiqueier stalls & shops. Now in "Collections" everywhere. Maybe you have one ! (Priceless)
Fascinating. No the usual kind of reply. Thank you.
We've just finished performing this! What a great version this is! The names are all different, but what a perfect performance from Basil Rathbone!
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
Kayleigh Knox we are going to perform this play in May. Any tips?
@@PizzaFLIX Is Ann Harding still alive ??
@@MrCraigblaze the wonderful stage and screen actress died age 79 in 1981. You can watch her screen debut here:czcams.com/video/4YtQS6U-Zuk/video.html
Love Rathbone!!
Do you think you could post Basil Rathbone's other movies THE MAD DOCTOR, THE SUN NEVER SETS, THE DAWN PATROL, THIS MAD WORLD, A WOMAN OF SCANDAL, and THE MARK OF ZORRO?
Excellent film. Thanks for posting.
Also known as A Night of Terror, in case you want to look it up.
This movie is famously entertaining
Excellent...thank you
Rathbone goes nutty like in this movie in The Son of Frankenstein made in 1939 and using the same Director ,Rowland V Lee ..
I love seeing Joan Hickson in a bit role at any younger age outside the Miss Marple range...
Che interpretazione, mamma mia ti tiene in tensione fino all'ultimo. Bravi entrambi poi adoro l uomo, Basil Rathbone ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Basil uses the usual conman trick. They are called confidence men not because they ask for your confidence but they give you theirs, well at least at the beginning.
Brilliance!
I like movies where where the 'text and speech 'are understandable and grammatical; so much more enjoyable...
Just like reading a book. ..
Hurray for diction.
Hurray for the gift of articulate speech. Finally for good literate writing.
omg I clicked this thinking it was a trailer and it took me a minute of absentmindedly scrolling through the comments to realize it was the full movie ahah
Ann Harding has a certain softness not seen very often....she had trouble "slimming", and kept her waist length hair....I think she was a great actress....
I love Basil Rathbone, but he is creepy in this movie. He makes an awesome Sherlock Holme.
Etta Alston-Burgess Praise Rathbone!
He even kind of looks like the man Holmes was based on.
I agree with you, he was totally creepy in this movie. The way he pulled off this performance as an enigmatic, silently crazed killer really terrified me!
The way he executes his roles so convincingly is proof of how good he was.
And Joan Hickson a great miss Marple.. XD
Basil made many many creepy movies ...SON OF FRANKENSTEIN etc. etc......
I'm so lonely and chilly in my room. Lol.
Ountie looks like a proper hippie
Hey PF. Can you pick'em?! like Kymberly says below, took me by surprise as well. Thought if was going to be a happy ending romance. Seemed a bit light for Basil's ability but true to form he delivered a powerful transformation and performance and again as Kym says Harding went toe to toe with him in powerful transformation from love to fear to challenge and defeat. They should both have got awards = = for that one.
Never read Agatha Christie but understand her fame now. Top flight writing. jo ah yo (Korean/ it's good)
Holy Mackerel!! What an ending! Super Flick all around. A chilling portrait of descent into Narcissistic Madness.
Thanks Soooo much 💜
Awesome suspense!!!
Thanks for the Upload 👍!!
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Excellent!
Rathbone, pronounced as Raybone - meaning silent killer. So said my Law Prof yearssssss ago
Φανταστικη.I love Basil Rathbone
Me, too, he was an incredible actor and especially in this movie.
This was after Ann Hardings A pictures and decline in stardom. Quite a few silent stars past their prime went to England and did the same thing.
sherlock holmes looks so young here!! LOL :D
Still Excellent
Great movie!
Excellent film.
Thank you Pizza flick Zowie!!
Where has this movie been all my life?
Very good ending 👍
Excellent
Brilliant
Good early thriller
