Frank Jenks can steal every scene he's in. He's terrific! 😆

Best line in decades "Well, what a nasty individual HE turned out to be!!" GREAT dialogue, ALWAYS fascetious n slightly snide, but humorously true, ergo, the person hearing it can relate to it from experience which makes it so humorous!!! Film Noir genre is my favourite!!! The best black n whites with the snappiest dialogue, the most elegant n classy wardrobes, furnishings, cars, n the total ambience of the movie resonates a time gone by that had a mist unique n stimulating hue or feel n look to the entire film!!! Thanks for posting on this lonesome chilly n rainy Saturday night 🌃 🌉🌃 tripping down the comfort n exciting memory lane!!!👍🤩😌🎉🌈🌚💋👏🌠🌘🦩🥂🌆🎑🎩🪄📽️

Another great old movie! Perfect blend of drama and comedy...

I must to see this movie at least 6 times
but you know this the kind of movie you could never get tired of
thank you for uploading it I really enjoyed the movie

Just imagine the amount of metal that went into those cars.

Just an observation : "Mike" the (perhaps) Stage Manager is a very convincing natural actor. Esp at 26:49   Its the little parts that make a big picture.

@19:21, the background music is Boccherini's String Quintet in E major, Op. 11 #5~ in case you wondered : )

Well done! These old movies always have good stories and good acting. Thank you for posting! :-)

love these great films. thank you

Now this mystery got me. I never even suspected. Wow. Great flowing through.

Thanks for this also. I lived in the Big 🍎 for more years than I can count. (Math was never my métier. I try to stay out of the double digits. I don’t, I end up hopelessly lost or in trouble... or both.) You can put book on this when I tell you that I’ve seen the Phantom of 42nd Street. Or rather one of his offspring, anyway, this movie having been before I was a gleam in my old man’s eye. He used to hang around the penny arcades and the peep shows and the burlesque houses and the Orange Julius stands and the Nathan’s Hot Dog joint and he’d oogle — no, not Google — ogle — all the good looking dames he’d set his 👁 👁 on and make comments to them what you wouldn’t want to repeat to your mother. A real creep. Course this was before the Big 🍎’s sanitation dept went in there with a jumbo sized bottle of Lysol and a mop and cleaned house, you understand. And don’t ask me how I knew the Phantom of 42nd Street hung around the penny arcades and the peep shows and the burlesque houses and ogled all the good looking dames. I just know, is all. At any rate, the Big 🍎 used to be a lot more interesting than it is now.

I am not going to pull your chestnuts out of the fire 🔥 Haha 😂

It is always funny in old movies that the driver of the car gets in the passenger side and slide to diver side. Very strange

That’s gonna be one expensive tab for  monopolizing the cabbie thru the whole movie,haha

Love these movies made during the war
Such a paraell

fin movie of old new york............cheers

"Cassius waits without, Sire."
