Me too !

Same here,

Our pleasure!

You certainty got that comment right. These old series and movies are so much better than those over the top car chases gun fights big muscle men etc. This is real life.

@@marirothbauer5407 Indeed ! I'd rather watch vintage stuff from yesteryear like this than most of what's produced today.

Well said!!!!!!!!

You said it!

He also did Sherlock on radio.

@@nedludd7622 Yes, I knew he did radio shows. I heard his charming voice on ''The Saint" when Vincent Price left.

Brother to George Sanders. The similarity is striking.

Thanks for sharing your story!

@ Aries Waters--- thats why we all watch these beautiful b& w movies. I would Love if we all had time machines and could pick a 50s movie theatre to meet at back when these came out and visit ahead of the start of the movie to get to know each other, then go watch the movie together back in the 50s.

Indeed ! I don't understand people who hate to watch movies & TV shows in black & white. I don't mind it at all. B&W actually helps me focus on the story more. I'm not distracted by bright colors. My favorite movie genre is film noir and B&W photography helps mystery story lines become more powerful. At least I think so.

Indeed ! I did not see that ending coming ! This is the second episode of the 50s crime drama that I've watched. Enjoyed them very much ! Was always a big fan of the late great Tom Conway. Good supporting casts on this series.

Sad but true. Chronic alcoholism led to Tom's passing in 1967 at age of 62. And five years later George would commit suicide at the age of 65 after years of failed marriages, poor investments & ill health.

Ironic that Tom’s brother died of suicide since this movie was about a man who committed suicide due to failed marriages. 🤔🤔🤔

Yes ! I laughed out loud at those puns at the very end ! 🙂

Me too ! I like this early 50s series, despite the low budget look. Good casts, especially the lead, the late great Tom Conway.

Welcome!

Maybe he was part starfish....

Billed as Fred Eisley here.

Yes indeed ! He played a lot of nogoodniks in the movies & on TV, including a corrupt cop in 1964's "The Naked Kiss", which was written & directed by the iconic Samuel Fuller.

Plastic bags didn’t exist, yet.

I grew up in those lovely, idyllic days. It’s nice to be able to revisit that time for a few minutes.

@@gfitz6001 That makes two of us.

@@gfitz6001 'Those days' were only "idyllic" when compared to the even-more-awful future that was waiting in the wings. The past was only o.k. if you had the means to survive it.

It was against the law in those days, as was hitting a cop with a pipe and stealing evidence, but anything for entertainment!

5:00 Or apparently not needing a search warrant.

I don't see how it can be if you're not intending to steal or commit a crime. All in the line of duty, but I don't know why they just didn't ask to see the receipts.

As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point. A big city police inspector probably made good money in the 50s, but I doubt they'd be able to afford a butler. But yes, as you pointed out, Tom's character may have had some money of his own (such as Amos Burke did on the 60s police drama "Burke's Law").

Many thanks!

Beyond belief as to the quality of the script and acting. This was a joy to watch, and the ending just so amazing. Why can they not write like this anymore, with the odd exception

Indeed ✔️

How right you are ! And in 1951 he took over the role of The Saint on radio from Vincent Price. Both men (and Tom's real life brother George) had WONDERFUL speaking voices !

Me too ! One of my all time fave screen stars !

Verne Smith has a great voice. Recall hearing him as an announcer on many radio shows. As for me, people tell me I have a great face for radio ! 😀

Bayer was one of the companies that joined the I.G. Farben conglomerate in the '20s: it put up money to fund the Nazi Party and Farben employed worked-to-death slaves in its extensive Auschwitz plants during WW2. Although the group's directors were identified as major war-criminals by the Nuremberg prosecutors, Farben has close links with sympathetic U.S. industrialists (like Du Pont) and with prominent politicians and social figures of German origin (even the two Wall Street lawyers who controlled post-war W. Germany had been Farben's representatives), so the various Farben (incl.Bayer) directors got away with it, as did the Krupps and other war-profiteers. It was mostly the Hitler regime's fanatics and front-men who did any real jail-time.

During the first World War, Bayer- and the rights to its name and manufacture- was acquired by Sterling Drug in the United States. It did not revert to its original owner until 1994, when Bayer acquired Sterling's drug products (from SmithKline Beecham).

Also a hotel house detective in a Charlie Chan movie "Murder Cruise." (1940)

Yes indeed ! His scene with Bogie & Elisha Cook Jr is short but sweet !

Yes ! Had a long life & prolific career. Appeared in films & TV from 1952 to 1991. Was especially busy as a TV guest star from the 50s on. I recall growing up & seeing him on LOTS of 60s & 70s TV shows !

She's no Marie Dressler, but she indeed is one lovely lady ! Hubba hubba !

@@jubalcalif9100 Now I’m gonna have to rewatch this to remind myself what she looks like.

I don't know if he played that role, but recall seeing him (actor Herb Vigran) in a countless number of TV shows as a guest star when growing up in the 60s & 70s. He was part of Jack Webb's acting ensemble, appearing many times on "Dragnet" & other shows that Jack Webb produced.

@@jubalcalif9100 thanks for the info!😊

Ha ! I'm surprised the sergeant didn't end the show humming that delightful ditty of yesteryear, "I Only Have Ice For You"....

I just loved y’all’s clever puns. Thanks 🙏🏻 for the chuckles. 🤭🤭🤭😅😅😅

Indeed he was. But the Russian Revolution forced him, his brother George & the rest of the family to flee to the UK.

Um, LBJ was 6'4" and had a strong southern accent

Thanks for the correction and interesting comment. We now list the correct title. 👍

I would like to know WHY he knocked out Saber in the first place. And why he came back there at that time of night

@@Boogaboioringale Danged if I can remember- I'd have to watch it again.

It was simply a joy to watch, and the turn, at the end, was something else.

Tom Conway played The Saint’s Brother and became The Saint.

Actually a lot of these old shows are probably partly responsible for a lot of deaths, they make it look like you can hit someone on the head with a gun butt or metal pipe and they are just rendered unconscious for a while and wake up with no side effects, when in reality you would be highly likely to kill them, or give them brain damage, not just knock them out for a while, people do take on board the things they see and hear in movies and on TV, especially if they see it in every movie they watch, similar to subliminal smoking, even in this show Mark Saber is often seen smoking when smoking has Zero to do with the plot, it is Subliminal advertising and it killed many millions of people who thought all the good looking sexy people smoked, every one in Hollywood smoked on screen....even if they were in fact non smokers in real life, in fact all smoking did was make them stink and be repulsive....but people believed it

@@georgemoore7186 Even Lucy smoked on her show, "I Love Lucy". Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble also did smoking commercials.

He felt guilty about nearly killing that guy at 13:20.😮

'The modern police officer' would be the one doing the hitting, considering how low police standards have sunk since 'the olden days'.

@@im1who84u Lucy's shows were sponsored by Philip Morris (q v.). Maybe the actors had to keep to themselves any feelings about whatever damage would be caused by the crap that their programs were helping to sell to the suckers who watched them.

Yes. Sanders did not speak to him because of Conway's alcoholism.Then,sadly, Sanders committed suicide.Two talented,successful people who could not cope.

@@renacorey5877 Sad but true.... 😞

Very perceptive! Everything lets go after death! ( I thought he might have jumped through the ceiling to hang himself.)😢

Very. Very short man. Exceptionally high ceiling. Cold feet. Heater on.
