I don’t understand why most people don’t watch these old movies. Riveting! Thanks for uploading these for people like us.

Man! These old movies sure take you right out of your surroundings and meager problems. Your worries just take a backseat to your new environment....there in the middle of all the action! Excellent movie. Thank you for posting it.

This year, my television has been mostly replaced by classic films of all eras that I've found here, like this gem. Yet another '50s movie I've never seen or heard of, with great acting, and suspense that kept me anchored in front of my 'small-screen' until the bitter end!

What a gem from 1952 which I had never heard of or seen before. Broderick Crawford is superb as the newspaper editor and the supporting cast is very good. It shows how with good writing and acting a film can be full of drama and suspense even when we know who "did it" from early on in the piece. Donna Reed and John Derek are very good too. I loved the line up of drunks and there are good New York street scenes. It saddens me to think that most people watch today's Hollywood output with its CGI and massive budgets and know nothing about these excellent films from 70 odd years ago. I give this one 9 out of 10, thanks so much for uploading it here.

The old black and white plots are more interesting then the ones of the day

The Drunk line-up was cinematically great and Harry Morgan, "I'll never touch another drop again"

Magnificent ! This is a masterpiece. I say this a lot about these old films, but it's a fact that the writing back then was so much better than the trash you see mostly in the movies now. Crawford was one hell of an actor. I only knew him from my childhood as Matthews of the Highway Patrol, but the few times I've seen him since taught me what a great actor he was . And Donna Reed was a beautiful lady who added quality to every movie she was in . I'm glad I watched this ; it enriched my life even more .

Man...I have watched this movie a dozen times...and I never tire of it! The cast was excellent, and the storyline riveting!

This is a great movie from the early 50's! Absolutely love Broderick Crawford, Highway Patrol (one of my favorites from the 50's), and Harry Morgan, Dragnet (another one of my favorites from the 60's)!! You just cant get any better than this! Needless to say, I am a baby boomer and these old movies are such gems! 💎 Thanks for uploading, keep 'em coming please!❤️🇺🇲❤️

I didn’t want to watch this at first, but when I saw the actors I thought I’d watch a few minutes and see if it was worth my time. It was! Great acting and excellent script Thank you 😊

For some undiscernable reason these black and white age movies intrigue me. I am fanatically interested in history stuff. That seems to be part of it. When some 10 years ago I moved to this country the US when the first time my TV put up one of these movies, I unconsciously felt the interest. I live alone and work full-time. Such movies are my bedtime fun!

So much about this film to admire, from the camera work to the editing to the performances to the dialogue. And Donna Reid, of course. Couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you for making it available!

Donna Reed... the Donna Reed show... how many people remember that show??? ONE great movie!!! Thanks Ms. Reed...

Watching Steve coming to the realization of his folly in that final showdown is painful in its sincerity. That is acting at its finest.

Donna Reed, class and beauty. This film grabbed me from the first scene. That was a New York where my cousins grew up in three room tenement apartments, but went on to raise children who are living the American dream as professionals living in mansions.

An outstanding storyline, Broderick was in his element, playing the tough, heartless bully. The suspense grows with each turn of events, making you wonder when the truth will come out. Don’t expect to sleep through this movie…😅

I love the bar scene. All those wonderful faces and the comment being "That does it, I'll never touch another drop for the rest of my life."

Broderick Crawford was amazing in this movie. You can feel his tension. A very underrated actor.

This is a movie that you will never forget. I love it.

Great movie and Broderick Crawford did some fine acting in this movie. First playing a confident, ambitious, larger than life, newspaper editor and then becoming a scared and trapped rat with the walls closing in around him. A list acting.

An excellent noir. All the actors are first class. Sometimes one does find such gems and it is a treat.

love the old movies . John Derek was my favorite actor during the 50"s i had a scrap book whit lots of his pictures . in 1968 i meet him and his wife at the time Linda Evans we had a great time. i will never forget how done to earth they both were.

Great performance by Broderick Crawford in this one. The plot keeps you watching, the character bits keep you involved. i love it when the charater actors get decent screen time, the scene in the bar with all those drunks and the dialogue there just can't beat by today's Hollywood. All those faces, Sergio Leone would have been in hog heaven.

Great stuff. Donna Reed, John Derek, and the mighty Mr. Crawford. One can never get enough of the big man.

Am addicted to old gems.am not really sure if this new age movies will ever interest me anymore.

I grew up watching 'Highway Patrol" with Broderick Crawford. Many in our generation loved him so much that when the fledgling SNL had him as a guest host, it was a thrill. Also love him in 'Born Yesterday'.

This was exceptionally good and worth 82 minutes of your life ....

That was a really good movie. Big stars, twists and turns, everything you want in a noir classic.

The music plays a great role in telling the story too! 💚it!

Wonderful acting, solid script, and great filming! This is a top notch drama.

I can say it felt great to watch a movie with substance.

After discovering so many american classics, I've now started to seek out the British oldies, thanks to utube❤

I love black and white movies x

A great movie and storyline!Always looking for gems like this.

This was one of the best movies I have ever seen and I'm 73. It is an allegory about how our crap media got where it is without ethics, honesty or truth. Just WOW! THANKS Chris T!

John Derek was a CHILD. He sure was gorgeous, what a terrific film. They just can't make films this way at all anymore. SUCH a great film.

I'm glad I scrolled it down and found this film ... Scandal Sheet , this film is marvelous . Especially Broderick Crawford's excellent performance . Good mystery .

🎉 these Old black n Whites are the BEST !!!! The actors are amazing 👏 too

Wow, I'm impressed with this film. Great actors, great story line, they just don't make them like this anymore.

An excellent film, acting was real, not plastic like they churn out today. Thank you ,Hollywood no longer makes films of this genre

Excellent and engrossing movie. Worth the time spent.

A young Harry Morgan! What an added treat! Great movie. Great acting, a story line full of irony, great dialogue. Thanks for the post!!!!

Who speaks faster, or snaps back quicker than Broderick Crawford???? Love his acting 🤗 can't believe I haven't seen this one before.

Sadly nobody makes these stunning movies anymore ...now days!

Simples: this a classic! Bites into you from the opening sequences and never lets go until the climax. Do not miss this! Bravo Chris T for making this possible!

DAMN! That was great. Hitting the 750,000 in the last frame was genius.

Summertime is perfect for noir cinema! 😎

I could not take my eyes out off this film. Great film. Thank you for uploading it.

John Derek the movie camera 🎥 loved his face, handsomely photogenic, good actor.

I have a personal anecdote about face-to-face recognition. Several decades ago, I was driving taxi and was stopped at a red light. There was no other vehicles or pedestrians around as it was late on Sunday night and I was on my way home. I sat quietly, just waiting for the light to chanfge when I heard a sound and just had enough time to look up to see the head lights of a pick up truck bearing down on me. The next moment , I was getting out of the back seat as the truck had struck my car hard enough to submarine me into the back seat. I called the police and when they arrived, they arrested the driver of the truck for being intoxicated. Cut to about 9 months later and I was working and arrived at a call at a club for a specific person. She came out and stumbled into the car. When she gave me her address, I recognized it right away and said nothing. we began our journey and she began to tell me about how badly her life had been the past while, with the police charging her with drunk driving after a cab driver hasd turned her in. She looked me full in the face and tols me she would never forget his face. I somehow managed to not laugh at her or tell her how my whiplash was aching at that moent. I don't recall if I goyt a tip or not but I did get this story.

"...thanks for the coffee, kitten". A great way to end a scene, with fine direction and Reed's subtle reaction to what she absorbed; a superb movie moment, indeed.

Great film. Thanks for uploading.

Excellent excellent excellent 👏 👌

GREAT STUFF! Broaderick Crawford ougta win an Oscar.

There's no glass in that office door of Crawfords!! Great classic...Thanks!!

Excellent. Crawford is always good value, with a useful supporting case.

Excellent film with a great storyline and talented actors. Unfortunate that Hollywood has gone astray from the golden days. Thanks for posting and be safe 🙏

Broderick Crawford played a very good bad guy and he played a very good cop in the TV series, Highway Patrol. I never missed an episode. This was another of his great movies - I enjoyed seeing Donna Reed so young, too!

This Flick left me speechless and Am a PERSON of many words. Bravo

First, i thought it's based on Nathanael West novel Miss Lonelyhearts(1933), but the credits says it's Samuel Fuller! You sure learn new things every day!

Great Movie! It Reminds Me of The Turner Classics "Noir" Black & White Films. I'm a HUGE Fan of Turnet Classic Movies.❤❤❤👍👍👍

Never had seen this one before, but since it was headlined by Broderick Crawford I knew it would be good-- legendary actor! Great script, cinematography, and Henry Morgan playing the photographer!

It reminds me of the old time radio show "The Whistler", thumbs up!!

What a terrific movie....thank you so much for posting it😁...the movies today don't have a patch on the oldies!!! 💥💥💥🇦🇽🌷

Agreed with all the comments . Each actors fit their role to a Tee . Even when Donna Reed open her blouse , I thought "Give me some more" Always had a crush on Ms. Reed . The old adage "If it bleeds , it leads" . Excellent , thanks Chris T

Broderick Crawford seemed to have little difficulty playing a very authentic bad guy in movies. In the movie,"Born Yesterday,"he played a similarly brutal character who liked to manhandle his woman. Thanks for posting this great movie!

Phil Karlson from a Sam Fuller novel. That's all I need to recommend it, sight unseen.

Great movie and actors. Suspense holds attention right to the end. So youngJohn Derek got old and married Bo Derek. I did not recognize him here.

Loved the opening titles, in the newspaper - much better than just a plain page, or in a book form ...

Thank you.

Holy cow, what a great cast of characters. Harry Morgan, John Derek, Broadrick Crawford, Dan Dureya. Donna Reed, Plus many others. The oldies are new again, as long as they are shown. Thanks for this one. Absolutely excellent. Show more of this caliber

Thanks!

Utterly gripping. Excellent acting by all. What a plot! Thank you.💜👏

This noir had great acting as well as a compelling storyline. Loved it!

It ended the way it should have, I like that about movies of this era..

I always enjoy Broderick Crawford (his work always had an certain, unique, edge) and Donna Reed (she's always fun and flirty). So, this flick is somewhat of a departure for both of them (Crawford the bad guy and Reed the hard journalist). [Never really cared for Derek, even as Joshua along-side Heston.] Very Noir, unpredictable, and riveting. Thanks for posting!

Great movie with great actors! Always love Broderick Crawford. Thank-you for the upload!

A well-paced film noir, which was compelling viewing ! Broderick Crawford was a fine actor, even though most of his characters tended to be unpleasant and unlikeable. I can add that the drunks in the seedy bar were most convincing and were excellently casted. Film noir has always combined realism with a welcome lack of special effects, this one being no exception. Thanks for this offering, Chris T.

That's one of the best Crawford films I've seen. Thanks a lot.

Really good. No idea what ‘Mark’ was planning on doing if it went that far. Good writing, acting. Thank you Chris T

Great Great movie. Strong cast and remarkable acting. Keep you on the edge of your seat. 👍👍👍👍

Thrills, escapes, news. In that order today too.

Really enjoyed this film, good plot and good cast. Can recommend for original entertainment.

John Derek is so good looking I can hardly pay attention to the movie! And…. as he aged-he got more gorgeous

The gorgeous Donna Reed!

Man what a Great thriller and Crawford at his best . Thanks for posting it .

Wow! Another good one, and one that I have never seen before. I am in Classic heaven since I found your channel Chris T. Thank you again for another good one and deep too!

I had assumed this was a remake of the 1931 film of the same name, which starred George Bancroft and Kay Francis. But this one was quite different - and both are excellent. What a great cast here - two Oscar-winners, plus dependable character actors O'Neill, DeCamp, Hale, and Morgan, and John Derek in the best performance I've ever seen from him. Terrific show!

Anything with Broderick Crawford is worth seeing...a great presence and powerful actor

Captivating to its best genre film noir!

What a fantastic film!!

Excellent & believable performance by Broderick Crawford.

Wow! What a story!

I was gripped from the start! Thank you

Hey the first time I've seen this video to me the old movies are the best..... Crawford always were a great actor

A really taut little thriller. Good work by everyone in the cast, but absolutely topped by Crawford.

Simply excellent!

Love Donna Reed too!

Top film Broderick Crawford was made for these roles,a good actor

"COLONEL POTTER ", what a delightful surprise!
