Saw this movie twice before and watching again. These old movies are so much better than the ones Hollywood churns out now.

So glad these movies are still being watched.

Oh, the romance of black/white movies. I adore them! Pure class. Thanks. 😍

Another marvelous film. Peter Lorre was superb as always. Keep these oldies coming! I've been watching these films every day,,,,,

Even if it's a great movie I have to confess when I see "gowns by" it's a cherry on the icing.

There is an elegance to these films that is missing today

What an unusual and brilliant movie. All films are like a waking dream, but this is something else again. The use of battle fatigue as a plot device to facilitate such a narrative conceit as this is utterly audacious, and the director pulls it all off with dazzling aplomb. Amazing, strange, wonderful, complex - this is one of a kind. I'm surprised the idea hasn't been pinched a dozen times. Made only one year after WWII. Incredible.

When a movie would entertain you and take you away from the cares of life for a few moments .the golden age of movies and america

Everything was finer, the woman's face, hair, clothes, her figure, her demeanor, the men were manly. Nobody was perfect but people were more respectable.

I could feel this film. It was brilliant even for the second time. A million dollars is nothing compared with that sort of love between two decent and deserving souls. They will be together forever. Thanks sal.

Excellent film noir. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Great dialogue - crisp and to the point. Roman is the epitome of villains. So charming yet so evil.

Ah I love a nice noir thriller . Old movies make me feel so good

Amazing photography/camera work. When you consider the cumbersome equipment etc they did a fantastic job. Great film!

Michele Morgan is regarded as one of France's greatest actresses of the 20th century. Her movies in Hollywood were only for a few years from 1940 (when she fled to the U.S. when France fell) to just after WWII, after which she returned to France to resume her career there.

Michele Morgan was, I believe, living in the long-gone and beautiful home at 10050 Cielo Drive when making this movie.

I'm more impressed with the background scenes, the 'items', the old cars, buildings, it's like observing the past, even the art on the walls, and the fixtures, I like seeing what has changed and what hasn't in how people decorate things back then to now.

I love how they are written. People communicate in full sentences with excellent vocabularies. Maybe not like real life, but it is still nice to hear.

Loved every minute of this lovely classic old movie.

Loved comment below "... but people were more respectable." as Peter Lorre habitually spits after most of his lines, that he happens to spit out. Love these old movies, thanks!

Suspenseful movie Lorna (Michèle Morgan), reminds me of Cybil Sheppard -

I thoroughly enjoyed the oddness of that film. The gag with Roman controlling the car from the back seat was hilarious.

Good movie! The french actress Michele Morgan is a drop dead beauty!! And a fine actress, surely she makes the lists of most beautiful and talented classical actresses?!

In today's movie, the dog attack would be in full colour with gratuitous blood and guts. This old black and white version showed enough and yielded the same effect.

12:25 that 331 Cadillac engine getting some flight at 108 mph not even stressing 😊

I love that the lady decides to go for broke. She has decided to throw off oppression and live as she pleases, no matter what !

These old movies beat these new ones everytime. What a twist at the end!.......but is it?

Oh wow, this is such a great movie! The ending, superb.

Peter Lorre was a GREAT, yet hugely underrated actor.

Yes sir, there has been a cancellation, it's a single cabin .... with a piano

Peter Lorre was great as always. What a strange little film. It felt like the end was rushed.

Thanks for uploading. No spoilers but be ready for a 360 turn in the third act. The casting was brilliant , with the four leads all perfect in their roles. Michelle Moran looks so much like Cybil Sheperd in the mirror scene at about 1.20.00. Ignore the plot holes and enjoy a very well acted and ambitious noir from a smaller studio.

Robert Cummings was always great in every performance. Miss this kind of acting.

When Peter Lorre shows up in the first 5 minutes you know it's going to be good!

The dangers of backseat driving and Peter Lorre, the best wingman in b&w cinema.

Great film score by icon Michel Michelet.

Robert Cummings was taught to fly by his godfather, Orville Wright, and received literally the first flight instructor's certificate issued: certificate number 1.

That early scene with the man in the wine cellar is scary. Some diabolical people here. Thanks!

Sallis always spoils us with good movies ty

I love these old classics. Yes I agree, instead of the blood and guts stuff they let your mind fill in the blanks ....as in the dog attack scene.

what a FANTASTIC movie!!! and i love Bob Cummings!! thanks for posting.

another great noir.... and they had a piano in the cabin... wow thats first class plus!

A beautifully crafted crime thriller.

Peter Lorre steals every scene he's in, as usual. Steve Cochran plays a great creep, and Robert Cummings is his usual wonderful self! The music was great, perfect for this very suspenseful film.

Excellent story! Wow! Michelle was a doll! I loved the miniature scene too. Thank you for this!

I don't care what they say, Robert Cummings was underrated as an actor.

Excellent movie very well directed and acted. Thanks for sharing it with us all.

Cornell Woolrich was a prolific writer of both novels and short stories. His principal genres were Pulp and Detective Fiction and was rated highly by critics, being classed in the company of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Erle Stanley Gardner. His 1944 short story IT HAD TO BE MURDER (written under the pseudonym of William Irish) was the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW. He died at 64. Another notable figure had a supporting role in this film, Don Wilson, Jack Benny's foil and announcer on the Jack Benny Show. I recognised the name and face but had to do some serious digging to discover what his claim to fame was. Although he didn't have the figure for it, he was a champion amateur golfer. In 1982 he died of a stroke at age 81. This Film Noir is a touch above the average, with Michele Morgan outstanding in the femme fatale role. Robert Cummings has moments of inspiration. His opening scene at the diner window, hungry and penniless, could easily have been overacted but was accomplished with an uncharacteristic subtlety. The role and the dialog provided for him in DIAL M FOR MURDER gave him little room to show how competent an actor he could be. The big lady who sold the knife impressed in a small role, but once again it was underacting that did it. The drama was unsustainable in parts and those were where it depended on Cochrane and Lorre. I would, if possible, have cast Sidney Greenstreet as Roman and had Lorre's part re-written because he responds very well to well-written roles. Steve might have responded equally well to a role better written but his limited range of talent does not fit him for this role as it was. The camera work is justifiably a very good representation of how lighting can add to and support moments of high tension.

Peter Lorre combined the sinister and the languid in one character, in a quite unique style, always worth watching. I good movie with not a moment wasted.

That second time with the back-seat driving was ridiculous! And Peter Lorre trying to look scared - looked like he was experiencing the revenge of his lunchtime burrito, lol! Great movie though, lots of twisties 💖 🇨🇦

Good movie. I was very young but, remember when Lorre died. Excellent actor. The car stop was definitely hollywood!

Stellar performance by Robert Cummings and Michele Morgan and of course Peter Lorre. 32:05 to 35:25 minutes into the movie was perfection. Thanks for the upload.

Wow, the doubled structure of this plot line is fascinating--reminiscent of French New Novels.

Bob Cummings' godfather was Orville Wright, old family friend, who taught Bob how to fly. His father was a surgeon and his mother was an ordained minister of The Science of the Mind. (IMDB)

Really great movie. I’m a big noire fan and I had never seen this one. This has to be the first movie made about PTSD. Peter Lorie is so great in everything he did. Thank you very much for the movie.

Very well made movie with serious unsuspected twists. Fun watch, time well spent. Kind of movie you're not ready to end, it leaves you wanting to experience 'the rest of the story'. Not in an unsatisfied way, it's just that the story gets you involved.

I love Robert Cummings♡♡ He was so good and good looking! My favorite movie is Saboteur. What a great story! I even remember his tv show where he played a photographer. I love all the old movies! I would rather watch him or Joseph Cotton than most of actors today!☆☆☆☆+When he was young he wanted to take up flying. His godfather taught him how!! Let's see, the name?¿ Wright, Orville Wright☆ Norma Jean Morrissey

I like the way the gangster is such a sadistic control freak he has his own gas peddle in the back.Steve Cochran was well cast.

*Actor Steve Cochran, who played the lead bad guy, "Mr. Roman", also appeared in the 1959 Twilight Zone episode, "What You Need", which was one of the better TZ episodes. Robert "Bob" Cummings also starred in another Twilight Zone episode.*

I'm back to watch it again! So good 👍 Thanks

One of my all time noir favorites, it's such a serpentine story full of memorable characters. The scene where Edward Roman taunts & smacks his manicurist always makes me shiver. Peter Lorre's eye through the keyhole was a stunning "entrance." So much to love about this quirky movie.

An excellent film. I've never seen this before and really great!

I like its simplicity. I donot see much twistings here, neither psycologicalities...but I like kinda thriling mood in it. I love old movies.

"Silly law-abiding jerk!" Priceless.

Love these old films with a twist, so much better than todays crap with al it's so called 'technical wizardry', pure bullshit. Excellent film quality too, thanks a lot.

5:56 "I'm sorry Mr Roman but you moved" "But you didnt..quick enough" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wikipedia: "The Chase is a 1946 American film noir directed by Arthur Ripley. The screenplay by Philip Yordan is based on Cornell Woolrich's 1944 novel The Black Path of Fear. It stars Robert Cummings as Chuck Scott, a veteran who suffers from hallucinations. When he returns a lost wallet to violent mobster Eddie Roman (Steve Cochran), Eddie offers to hire him as a chauffeur. Chuck becomes mixed up in a plot to help Eddie's wife Lorna (Michèle Morgan) run off to Havana to escape her cruel husband."

Good movie. And the moral of the story? You live by the sword and you die by the sword. Thanks for the upload. Love the old classics. 🙂👍

When will movie characters learn that wastebaskets are not magic disappearing machines?

Love these old movies, talk about back seat drivers!!🤣🤣

I'm shocked with this movie wow what a movie and suspenseful. thank you

Who ever heard of running away from someone but leaves an address behind so you can be followed? Wow! Smart man!

These were very classy movies..

Tonight on Final Jeopardy: How many good movies were even better because Peter Lorre was in it? Answer: All of them.

Though I've probably seen him in a few things here and there, I'm not very familiar with Steve Cochran, but he sure plays a convincing sociopath as gangster Eddie Roman in this movie. He's truly frightening! Michèle Morgan is quite tragic as his abused wife. Solid performances for a second feature film.

The Nebenzal's also produced Fritz Lang's classic "M" in Germany which starred Peter Lorre and made him an international star.

13:08 good advertising for bendix brakes ..lol

the lady writing in cursive around #1:08, they don't even teach this art in schools now

One thing I learned about noir that was really interesting was that all the light and shadow was simply turning necessity into art. They were broke and had to make do with the lighting and sets they had.

Thank you for sharing another great classic,,,,,, I love the 40s....... I live in a black and white world

A really excellent psychological thriller, you are in for a treat!

So Scotty, suffering from PTSD, dreamed that Lorna was murdered by her husband's goons in Havana. Scotty is knocked out. When he wakes up the trip to Havana hasn't happened yet, but that evening it does, and the cab driver he dreamed of takes he and Lorna to the night club he dreamed of. And that's the end.

Thanks for sharing this..It's amazing how great the picture and sound is...Considering how old this film is its in better shape then many new films..

after reading about his personal life - i realized why Steve Cochran was so convincing as a psychopath. he wasn't acting.

Given this 'clocks' in at around 90 min, might there have been some scenes omitted here? to account for the 'what the Dickens' factor? Anyway, enjoyed the film, the acting, the Noir side of things, too. Just never saw Robert Cummings in a role quite like this before. Had played a comedic fashion photographer, c.1950s, also in B&W, in a TV series called 'Love That Bob' (or something like that, I think). Now, that Peter Lorre character, there's a straight man for you. Loved him in 'Casablanca,' before playing in those later horror films of the 60s. What an actor. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks been enjoying all the movies you have uploaded it's been great, love this nothing like an old mystery!

AT 52:25, when Cummings is hiding behind a door after escaping, a sign on the door says in Spanish, "quarantine virus"

Wow, now that was a good suspenseful movie full of twists.

In Miami, war veteran Chuck Scott, who has been struggling in post-war civilian life, finds a wallet belonging to Eddie Roman. Beyond taking a few dollars to buy a meal about which he is up front, he makes the trek to the upscale address listed on the identification to return the wallet and the money. On the surface, this act turns out better than he could have imagined as Eddie offers him a job as a chauffeur, with even the way he accepts the job putting him in Eddie's good books. What Chuck may have suspected but quickly learns is that Eddie, hiding behind the front of being a legitimate businessman, is a violent gangster who demands total loyalty and has bizarre means to show his control, with his second in command, Gino, doing much of his work as the heavy. What Chuck also learns is that Eddie's unhappy wife, Lorna Roman, had no idea of Eddie's life when they married and as such now wants out of the marriage taking with her materially what she brought in, namely nothing. Eddie will not and cannot allow Lorna to leave in she now knowing too much. She turns to Chuck to help her escape. In their time together, Chuck and Lorna fall in love. By the time that Chuck realizes that Eddie and Gino are after them, the nature of the pursuit changes with Chuck, partly out of the stress, not knowing what is real and what is all in his mind.

I've been watching these early Hollywood movies and they are so riveting and entertaining. 👍🇺🇸

A buck fifty for breakfast? It was 1946 when a dollar went a long way! Cummins must have had steak and eggs!

Fascinating movie, I think. Very modern.

I would have left the Cuba brochure in the garbage, then taken a cab to the train station to New York, then gotten on a train to San Francisco. While the goons are scouring Havana, we would be eating crab in Fisherman's Wharf...

this is a good you tube palce to find old moives like thiese

If he was going at 110! he could not have stopped in such a short distance. The old brake systems were very primative at the time.

The music was done so well in the film noir flicks....such great attention to even the slightest emotions and wonderful choices of instrumentation and orchestration to bring such character to each scene . Listen to those strings, oboes, bassoons, French horns, percussion and more laced with dramatic melodies and significant harmonies....and never getting in the way.

Hollywood can't make this good of a movie today!

Thank you for posting this under seen film noir.

What did I just watch?? Apparently I'm dumb!! I thought she was dead, and oh my, did it veer!! I thought he was just traumatized by the whole Havana experience.

The film had a lot of interesting moments. In the last few minutes most folks knew what was going to happen when the villains tried to out race the train.

Terrific film, thank you!
