Never saw the ending coming. Good turn of events, great cast, Kirk Douglas is very equal to Barbara Stanwyck. Teachers a lesson to all you cat haters! The old lady shouldn’t have beat the cat. I’m surprised that Stanwyck wasn’t standing in a sea of cats. Come to think of it, this would be a great movie for Mel Brooks to use as inspiration.
Thanks

damn you pwned that mutha
what is there to dislike? How could someone in 2011 “Dislike” a fucking film noir? Oh would you like us to remove all film noir from youtube so that you have to hunt a copy down over snail mail and video-store fax network?
no lo esperaba, no lo esperaba!

So Much Melodrama!
Oy Vey!
Like your post except I don’t agree with you assessment of Van Heflin looks.While I would concede he wasn’t ‘leading man good-looking’ he certainly had the rugged good look & is a long way from ugly. I did like the rest of what you had to say,I even liked ‘Bundles’,(cat) myself!! I also own a couple of copies of this,in case I wear one out. (Also while Barbara is pretty,I would’ve jumped over her to get to Lizabeth!)
Well I for one don’t think Van Heflin is Ugly & neither did Bobbie,Toni or Martha!!
Man, Judith Anderson is such a bitch – beating that poor kitty! Plus, funny how when she falls downstairs,she’s suddenly a blonde
Ur gau
Good movie. Thanks.
this movie reminds me when i was a kid :’)
Kids eating huskless bread at the start. :p
Lizabeth Scott…what a beauty.
1.This is a very good film noir. I own it, and was happy to see it here on YouTube in its entirety. Thanks for sharing this fine film with us viewers!!
2. There’s one head-scatcher in the beginning: How in the world they ask us to believe that gorgeous young Darryl Hickman would end up looking like ugly Van Heflin is beyond me. However, the kids playing Martha and Walter are both good representations of their adult counterparts.
3. Lizbeth Scott is great in this.
4. I love that cat!
notice the music is the same in every film of this period? As for B Stanwick being beautiful get a grip! She was mannish.
I used to watch these wonderful vintage movies so much that when my son was a baby and saw one coming on television he would scream “Mommy….here’s one of your shows” Grew up watching and this is particularly fantastic. Love it!
