It's 1942 and rubber is a valuable commodity. Private detective Eddie Delaney swings into action when his father, a police sergeant, is gunned down by rubber racketeers! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Fantastic Film played out perfectly by great Actors! Nice to see Comissioner Gordon of the 1960's Batman Series.
Thank you Pizza Flickr for the wonderful choice of movies !
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
I recognised the voice instantly , but couldn’t place it , thanks for reminding me
I wish there were still cozy little restaurants and bars like in these old movies instead of franchise joints and dive bars with rap blasting out of the jukebox.
Part of the demise of the current civilization....You can still find quaint in second world countries, small, touristy towns in the US, parts of Europe, and Island nations.
Boy do I also.
That is by design. Covid was a cover for putting independent business out.
Wish they still had amazing actors like this!
For those of us who lived through The war, this was clear and current for the period.
The thoroughly great and competent actors made this great fun and memorable!
Homefront WWII movie, our country kicked butt. No wimps invited ! Great cast and storyline.
Good movie and Helen Parrish was lovely.
Really well acted B-and well written suspense. Would have been a TV movie or a Mannix type show in later years, but certainly diverting entertainment. So fast-paced is also a blessing. Thanks.
Wow, what a cool juke box, never seen one of these before. Thanks Pizzaflix, another gem.
Love jukeboxes! I played Floyd Cramer.....my dad looked for Leichtensteiner Polka or Tennessee Waltz (early 50s). Nothin like fun music and a cheeseburger❤
I really enjoyed this movie. These are what I grew up with. Thanks for sharing them with us. Sincerely.
"Lady, this is a hack, not a P-38..."
These old classic movies are great and in this 1 the hero gets the pretty girl.

She said "maybe there's a REWARD!!" That was priceless!!😂
Women in the 1940s were something else. They had real beauty. They carried themselves in a way that most women dont today. I think the women in all those old movies are more beautiful than anything ive seen today.
Many of today's women seem to opt to airbrush out their facial features and skin variations, then draw or paint them back on leaving them to look like avatars. They all look alike and rather blank. I find it both sad and disturbing. I also sound like an old fart!😂
"Awright sister, if you're that tired sit down." Don't you dames with great gams just love these old lines?
Sure do. The delivery of lines in these movies was great. Lauren Bacall: If I slap you, you will stay slapped. Rosalind Russell: I am the last of the broad-shouldered broads. Bette Davis: I would love to kiss ya honey, but I just washed my hair. Barbara Stanwick: Where did you learn to drink like that. Answer: Pittsburgh, whats it to ya. They don't write lines like they used to!

I am sorry, my gams are big, short and fat, so I don't enjoy these lines!
Yes, we dames, with the gams, do love it 🥂
Aww, this was good..!! .and because of the amazing character-actors that fleshed out this, & and soo many other excellent films.. I know Damian O'Flynn only from "Crack Up" (1946).., but, jeeez, Robert Homans, Vince Barnett, Anne Jeffreys, Dick Purcell, Jack La Rue, Esther Muir.. It was a TOTALLY different time.., & these REAL people made these movies accessible and engaging.., I LOOVE watching these folks do their thing..!!! Thank you for posting it..!!!

Wow, what a cool juke box, never seen one of these before. Thanks Pizzaflix, another gem.
Well it was 1942.
yeah great movie. they don't make them like that any more. great story and great acting
Thanks Pizza. Interesting to see familiar character actors of yore. Also, like looking at the furnishings, autos, etc from that era.

This is the second film I've seen on YT that featured "live" juke boxes as key plot elements. Apparently they were pretty popular through WWII, and at least one was still operational in Pittsburgh in 1996!
aadamtx I thought I knew of all the old Wurlitzers and juke boxes with remote displays at each booth. _Live_ juke box?
@@robertansley6331 I found an article that refers to them as "live." From what I gather, they were just like in the two films - you'd make a selection and a girl at the other end would spin the disc.
aadamtx With the crude state of phone lines back then this amazes me. So the girl spins the record and it goes down phone lines to the bar? The juke box is so big but all it really is is just a giant speaker phone! I saw an image on Pinterest of another shorter model that must have been from the same manufacturer because it had that same speaker on the front. It was clearly from another film noir movie, maybe the one you saw. Imagine if we could go back in time and show them a cell phone!
Same here... I nearly never watched it because I thought seen it before...I wonder how many more have telephone jukeboxes 🤔
There's a Charlie Chan movie with a jukebox as part of the plot.
NOW THAT'S HOW TO MAKE A GREAT MYSTERY, JUST WISH THEY MADE THEM LIKE THIS TODAY THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
Sticking to him til the end! What a sweetie!
As it’s meant to be ..... ♥️
Early for a true noir but damned if it does'nt succeed!! 1942!! wow....great film. NB
These old black-and-white films just get better and better
I love how the cop picks up the phone on the dead man's desk, eradicating any prints that might have been on it. Great police work! And why does Delany need Underwood to sign the check he's going to mail him? Wouldn't he sign it before mailing it? And I love how the girl immediately falls for an accused murderer with no proof at all that he's not guilty. Women in these movies are always such saps. "He can't be guilty! He's hot!"
Nice, At least it had A Story Line 😊.
Thanks for posting! Fun movie.
And then he went off to war and got killed.
DAMN! Commissioner Gordon sure weathered the years well....20+years later on Batman he pretty much kept the same jib.
Lol, a jukebox, with real people on the other side playing music for you. Amazing.
Amazing juke box, I've only seen the likes in one other movie.
The angel with the voice Linda, played by Helen Parrish, sadly passed away age 35. Very sad indeed.
Jack LaRue and 'B' movies go together like peas and carrots
thank you. great script. great acting.
Pretty Darn good.!👏🏾 🎥
Cool how they got movie piped in
This was great!! Sad bout people killed but good suspense & ending...what a generation back then!!...i think " b" movies are wonderful..tfposting!!!!.🇺🇸🇺🇸☺☺
From the early 30's on, Neil Hamilton was ALWAYS working. No matter what the part, he was always reliable.
These old movies are the best they just don't make them like this anymore
I was sad to learn that Helen Parrish who played Linda, died of cancer at the tender age of 35 😟😞
Thank you from Manhattan ©2023
This was a super cool movie
Thoroughly enjoy this.
Ok I'm back ...Super film...,.in those days they were called.a .,... MOVIE !
ALWAYS Loved seeing Jack.....Jack LaRue of course ! !
Nothing like topping it with all the PizzaFllix that can be found !
Not where I came from. Lol they were and still are, called films.😁
Finally managed to find a thriller from the 30s or 40s that didn’t have a newspaper reporter solving every crime in sight, rooting out corruption and defying big corporate interests. Drama queens the lot of them...
Hi Steve....
Hey, I personally call them Drama Trolls ! Don't you like that better? I find it more discriptive of what they really are, don't you think so too.

I love watching YOU watch them! 🌷
Bogie and Betty and Peter Lorre could have done more with it.
Hurry ..hurry it's Jack.... it's Jack ! Gotta go watch Jack ! See when film is over !
Just found you pizza flix, your name is my guarantee of a really good film!
Blackout! Lights out!
Yes, Neil Hamilton, aka Commissioner Gordon, was also a movie actor.
Love you, @Pizza Fix #pizzafix I'm here for my fix, mah pizza fix that is.
this is good film noir. great camera work and lighting. very artistic, thank you.
Great black and white contrast in this film, filmed really well. It's a great pity Helen Parrish died so young. Damien O'Flynn and she made a terriffic film couple.
Good one, thanks.
Awesome movie 💖
what a great old movie thanks pizzaflix 🎥🎥🎥🥂👍🍕
He doesn't seem too upset that his father died x
Noticed that myself....not a bit shook - up.
put another dime in the jukebox baby 🤠
great movie
Listen flatfoot you’ve got the wrong guy
Its a good thing they didnt smell people's hands för gunpowder residue after the Shooting.
Enjoyed that
Excellent
One kind of crazy juke box is that ?
Never could stand Vince Barnett in any movie. Robert Homans always played a cop or a sheriff. Dick Purcell died suddenly in 1943 of a heart attack. Esther Muir was more attractive than appears here. Jack Larue was a versatile character, usually playing the villain. This is really an understated and underrated film overall. I was quite young during the War years, but I was aware of much of what it was like then. And even today that was a better time than we're living in now. At least there was a reason to live.
And then there was Helen Parrish, who was a lovely girl and whom I wished had done more movies.
Good movie
A good wee movie
Shyver Multiphone used to play music in the restaurants...
How cool first time in all my Vintage& antique experience , seeing that..!!! Dont remember Granmom or Mom ever mentioning it...bit sooo neat...
Who?
I'm the dependable type lol, plus I miss making the old fashion prank calls and finding out the girl on the other end is a beautiful person
Weird thing, there is another movie with the same name ( made in 1931) from the same source material, in which the actress playing “Linda” is also. She plays,” Young Gloria” in that one.
At 5:35 Inspector Gordon from Batman (TV).
Yep, Neil Hamilton actually started out in silent pictures, but his voice was always so distinctive, I'd recognize him even if I couldn't see his face.
thank you
don't know and never heard of any of these actors. Gonna rely on the film.
Commissioner Gordon from TV's Batman was one.
anybody recognize the mayor of gotham city from the batman tv series?
I never liked the Batman character, even when I was a kid back in the early 1950's. Batman? The only REAL Batman is Dracula.
Neil Hamilton
No shit Sherlock
Oh my gosh "Commisioner GORDON was it ?! His voice so nice recognizable
@@leelarson107 thats interesting
33:41 He said "jimmy" instead of "jemmy". Minus 10 points.
Good noir!
Fun!
At 34:25. Here's a guy accused of double murder and comes upon one of the dead men, and he just decides to go to sleep.
Wow another great film! Thx for posting it. Underwood, not a bad looking fella. His line, "...just mention my name." It could have been, " .. just mention my hairdo." Poor guy :). What about that jukebox ?
is that live juke box for real? cute.
46:01 “can’t you go any faster” “lady this is a hack not a p-38” lol 1942 ?..at war..the lighting was very new and even faster..too funny
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning introduced in 1941?
@@xmillion1704 First flight: 27 January 1939..wiki..
@@flyingcatsofthesalishsea. - Maybe I misunderstood your first comment. It seemed that you were saying that the Lightning was faster than the P-38. Aren't they the same plane?
("First flight", of course, is not the same as "introduced", which I take as meaning, "introduced into combat".)
@@xmillion1704 hey Xmill, In the movie (1941?) I thought it notable that in the script of the movie that a charachter commented on the P-38 Lighting as being "I am a hack not a p--38 lighting" during the early war years. Only 2 years after its development...you would think ...it being a little classified..lol no? The first Lightning to see active service was the F-4 version, a P-38E in which the guns were replaced by four K17 cameras.[63] They joined the 8th Photographic Squadron in Australia on 4 April 1942.[36] Three F-4s were operated by the Royal Australian Air Force in this theater for a short period beginning in September 1942
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning
German Bf 109s outperformed the P-38, and added to better-skilled German pilots, the P-38 losses were high in every confrontation with German fighters. Only the Japanese patrol planes were sitting ducks to the P-38s.
jolly movie!
Better than a poke in the eye. Not a very plausible plot or story line.
Don't be scared! Listen to the patsy!
I never knew those juke boxes existed.
You put a nickel in the jukebox and a miniature girl inside takes your request?
Never heard of it before but have seen it in a couple of old movies now. The other was a Charlie Chan movie.
Shyver Multiphone
She’s life size, but only size 4
Did call-in juke boxes really exist?
I wish there was a way to know if we already watched the movies on CZcams. You'd think CZcams could do that us?!?! they make so much money and seem to IGNORE a very IMPORTANT Feature. While NETFLIX has a way.
In youtube, the thumbnail will have a red line on the bottom of the picture. That way it means viewed already. If you "liked it" the "like" will be highlighted.
You can always delete it.
They robbed him out gangster style
what a juk box
I was think that, but is it really a jukebox, ? Not automated if people are in it.
Ya that thing is way cool .Telephone jukebox, Some entrepreneur probably had a dozen or so spread around the town
1:18 Dial a Record, I wonder if such a Service existed ?
It looks like somebody was using this movie to promote it as a business. And it can serve as a public emergency notification system too.
YES.
Good B movie
It is a federal offence to move tyres even if they're frozen. What ?!
Is it because there's a war on?
gavin Reid yes. Rubber was being rationed, along with other goods, during the war. Since most raw materials for rubber came from Asia , It created and instant black market for everyday items that used to be taken for granted. Rubber, gasoline, steel, aluminum all became valuable until industry could catch up with demand.
In 1942 all existing stocks of tires were put into bonded warehouses and could only be sold with a government priority . If you had a car, the serial numbers on the tires were registered with the government. When they wore out you might be allowed to have them retreaded but new tires were almost impossible to get.

Great Juke Box but can't find anything about them online
Presumably because it is not a jukebox...

Telephone music services were quite common in the U.S. prior to WWII.
