Yes indeed...

Didn't read a single comment about that but I have to say I loved it. It gave me the opportunity to read some french and try to do it quick enough. There was also some parts in french.

Jeff Eastwood another good film

What complaints? You just want to be a snot.

shut your piehole.

And no tattoos on the bare skin..

Perfect analysis.

Yes, I personally liked Marshall's voice more than even Colman's

@@scotnick59 Marshall was always the gentleman, the real McCoy: you couldn't accept him as a baddie.

You sparkle yourself Jim! ":)

Agreed- she's one of the greats. And yes she should hav received an Oscar.

Remember that the Oscars are made for Hollywood. It didn't care what the public thought about who they chose as a winner.

Was she ever even nominated for an Academy Award?

Good. Movie.

To think that baby is someone's grandpa now. If he is still living.

I have no fondness for contempo movies, but not bc I think that HW today is any worse than it was back then -- it's differently bad, but not worse. It really annoys me when ppl make these lugubrious and completely untrue statements about the past, bc it shows that they aren't doing their patriotic duty ( = get a lifelong education) and instead are falling back on easy. false platitudes -- lazy thinking, which is why the world is a mess today. So, do your duty as a citizen, and use yr damm brain! Btw, romanticizing HW of yore makes no sense, and I say this as someone who loves HW movies from the 1930s thru the 1950s. Most were highly unrealistic and at least somewhat preachy, and the stars were kept on such a short leash by the studios that they cdn't live their lives authentically. And, fans were fed a steady diet of twaddle about them. Falsehoods weaken a society, and the large-scale propaganda machine of classic HW was deeply problematic.

@@dw999 Not sure I understand all your babbling but Hollywood, when it was run by studios and men who knew movies particularly from the 30's through the 40's was a machine that produced an amazing quantity and quality of films. Each studio had the best directors, writers, producers, set directors and designers and they cultivated their own stable of movie stars. To say that one is romanticizing and that it was all unrealistic and preachy shows a huge ignorance and lack of knowledge of films of that era. When the studio system finally ended during the 50's Hollywood went on and blazed new trails with some great film for the next 40 years until the end of the 90's when corporations who now owned many of those old studios completely killed Hollywood in favor of profits over quality. Since the 2000s Hollywood has been reduced to mediocre films and 'blockbuster' super-hero films that all have the same mundane story lines. The Oscars which were once one of the most watched yearly events have continued to decline to historic lows in viewership. The red carpet is now a parade of 'who's that?". You seem easily triggered.

Yeah that true I love bette Davis and Kona Crawford and Katherine Hepburn y'all so beautiful I love y'all acting

Cedar Romero played his role well... All of casting on point. A mother's love...Yes a gem of a 🎥.

I wanted her to marry the count. She could then be friends with both Phil and Jim and see Roddy often. Living with the count would have been a much more cheerful arrangement. At the end I envisioned a sorry life for all of them except Roddy. Just sayin....

@@smcfall3 The count would always be chasing other women. Such a drag...

They certainly don't, and they respected and revered mature actors back then.

I loved it also.

Donna Paulin 1@11

Yes Definitely hard to find good clean films these days

I guess us gentle souls just don’t make enough noise or have the financial clout to change Hollywood. I adore these old feel good films and good acting by respected actors. I never tire of watching them... bless KZfaq, and TCM.

Nice comment.

he was nice -young ..but older like in big valley she was a bitch

Madden Master I disagree. In Big Valley she was a strong woman who didn't take guff off of anyone. I like the way she played a wide range of roles. That is a sign of both courage and talent. She certainly wasn't typecast. She could do drama as well as comedy. She was the only who could have put across the ridiculous line, "Show us some of Tom Barkley's guts!" (I figure they were in a jar on a shelf.) :)

she was gay wasn't she

I LOVE the way you describe things...are you a writer? If not, you should be!🤗

Christine Dunn I’m happy times have changed. I’m older but can remember my mother reading that book to me.

Ty for saying that!! She has lots of fan on this channel who all agree she was a real actress...meaning you can't tell she's acting oops enjoy 😸

Her realism is astounding -- she is entirely genuine. She humbles me as an actor.

@@stevefrasier8269 If only life was this smooth!

Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

Not only him but the women in the dressing sallon... no one could look down the steps back then. They had to keep their eyes straith foward. Its not easy to walk steady knowing so many steps are there. The child was what many children were back then: very meticulous. He step out the staircase never looking down. FANTASTIC ACTING FROM EVERYBODY!

YES! He's positively precious. I just lost it/ cried when first Margot realized he was her son.

He also starred in The Blue Bird with Shirley Temple. Another beautiful movie 💕

Casar Romero was so handsome i saw him o the Golden Girls he was in his 80 and still handsome

Its also the story that holds it that way. Lets not forget the director. The script! This is a perfect REAL, human story that was very well delivered, almost without the maneirisms people liked actors to do on camera.

She was so beautiful and a wonderful person .

Have you seen him in "The Enchanted Cottage" with Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire? He plays a similar character, but in a much more limited sense. He plays a pilot who was blinded when he was shot down in World War One. Robert Young is initially engaged to a very selfish woman at the beginning of the film. He enlists in the Air Corps to fight in World War II, and is disfigured when he is shot down. He goes to stay alone in the cottage that he'd originally booked for his honeymoon, and it is there that a friendship blossoms between Young and McGuire, who was done up to be homely in the film. Herbert Marshall, through his blind eyes sees Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire for the beautiful people they really are, and is a kind of guide to them. It's a beautiful film, and worth watching over and over again.

WOW! I am amazed. HM has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. I never, ever, even saw a hint of his misfortune. Thanks for the info. And the great dialogue belongs to the writers... wish they were around today. Thanks.

I think this is one of the best among Zanuck's productions. What a lovely story!

Herbert Marshall used to visit service hospitals during WW2 and talk to the guys who had lost limbs giving them tips about getting around etc.

writeract2 La Principessa Anne, so sad that it very much seems that way. I keep hoping one day, at least for my daughter she will meet up with someone like Herbert Marshall's character.

Amen to that 🙏🏾😢

writeract2 La Principessa Anne Are you saying you aren't like that and don't know anyone like that? If so, that is very sad. Perhaps if you moved you would be with a better group of people. There are many good ones where I live. They work in the schools, in the hospitals and clinics, in the fire dept, in the businesses,.... They volunteer to help others, give generously to charities and those in need, and can be relied on to do more in an emergency. These people give until it hurts and give some more. In fact, strangely enough, I've found people like that wherever I have lived. Maybe that's because I also give and help. Beware cynicism. It makes you believe that the world is an ugly place with selfish people and there is no use trying to change that. That's what the few horrible people want you to think so you won't get in their way. Find those who are optimistic and caring and your life will be transformed through knowing them and becoming like them yourself.

@@653j521 AMEN

MELA exactly. In real life men have never been all that gallant unless it served some purpose for them.

Thanks for sharing your story, Suzita. Blessings upon you, your Mom, and dear Dad of happy memory.

Maybe say SPOILER first next time😡

Really …..damn no need to finish movie.

Lol @ people complaining of spoilers. Anyone who reads comments on a movie before watching it deserves what they get.

stoical silence when you lose your only child might make a good story but - you MUST be aware - it's damaging all round in real life. Secrets just aren't good for us, they create misery and shame and it has always been worse for women.

@@elinannestad5320 oh for cryin' out loud it's a movie. Bet you're a hoot at parties.

Yes, Jim such a Wonderful man to take her in and care for her when she was so very fragile but Roddy was her choice not even Phil, selfish . Hard choices but I feel like Phil, should be told! Otherwise always a missing hidden sadness. Janice Harley

@@vickiegveg why are you so hard / We know this is a Movie! Sometimes people have a point they want to get across Losing a Child is very hard! For the strongest person! Janice Harley

@chachalacojm: That's a ridiculous statement. For as far back as records exist (and probably for centuries before that), humans have been driven by the same emotions, and have grappled with issues surrounding how we live with others in society. I challenge you to name ONE moral value in this movie that doesn't exist today. You can't! In addition, anyone who thinks that the films of classic Hollywood are at all reflective of society needs to get an education; the two-dimensionality of mid-century HW characters is no more real than, say, today's reality-TV participants are. Throughout history, some ppl have been bullies, some have been targets, some have striven for a better world in which people treat others well, some have been grifters, etc. Human nature hasn't changed, and societal values haven't changed since this movie was made. Human rights have been expanded, meaning that women are no longer relegated to wife-and-mommy-only -- which is a good thing for everyone, including the children who suffered bc their thwarted mothers tried to live vicariously thru them/ PLEASE don't make reductive statements. PLEASE use your brain; we're facing existential problems today (the climate crisis; the attacks on democracy in many nations) bc ppl do not use their brains!

Cesar Romero also played in a lot of the old movies he was a great actor

Kind of overlooked but very solidly good

Christine

He was a very nice foil for Bette Davis in 'The Little Foxes' and a devoted husband in, "The Letter'.

Yeah ~ There’s something soft but sexy about him I thoroughly enjoy!

@@jeffmay7358 His performance in TLF is brilliant.

Susan, have you seen "Sorry, Wrong Number"? Definitely one of her best performances.

I applaud what you wrote about KZfaq. Its a treasure. These great movies are now given another lease and seen by a new generation.

Hello Alexa, How are you doing ?

CR = substance too never got due credit always in backdrop

thank you for revealing part of the film--an important part

Hey Tawyna, ever heard of a little something called a spoiler alert?

It should, you mis-typed it. Tried to edit and add "spoiler alert"... But also noticed the not so nice notifications of telling me so. Have a good life, with that behavior. Plus, what was "revealed" was not a surprise it's what the entire movie was about. The imagination of the writer was in the "how." The movie is very mush well written, directed, and acted. Could you imagine the "trailer" for this movie!?!? Sheesh... Plus, what a revealing initial comment I've typed. Maybe best practice would have been to be kind. I apologize up front to those who are kind in notifying me of my unintentional mistake. To the rest, you are ineffective. To all - Have a good day... Blessings.

shhh

I concur (-_-)

Agree. (Maybe if she could tell the truth a little sooner - of being the real mother of the little boy - to the adoptive father, maybe this one would have been comprehensive to let her see the boy every day, like an aunty, for her and Jim to keep their true love too).

Totally - I'm trying hard to think of an ending with a better distribution of pain.

He did a wonderful job, yes he did, i agree!

Poor back-projection effects at 54.50

Please tell me you've seen Sorry, Wrong Number.

@j.j.cagney There's a good one here on YT called Lady of Burlesque 1943

Yes, but in the hereafter all things will be made right, if we just do what's right in this life, like this mother did. Though she should have never made the mistake of giving up the baby in the 1st place for adoption, then she probably would have had both her baby and the guy she loved eventually.

I agree. I wanted to take a twirl on the dance floor with the Count. And oh, how He and Barbara did the tango !

He was so dashing too. Quite a figure.

She could have married the man she loved . Also, why was Romero in this film--??

Christine Dunn Fortunately, the man she loved understood her and her feelings. This was not the kind of film where the heroine gets everything. Romero was here to add some fun, and fun he was!

If you're referring to unwed pregnancy, fairly common theme in the early '30s.

avant garde

+soapbxprod Me, too. Le's have a party!

+daniel stanwyck There's a great group on Facebook dedicated to Babs: facebook.com/groups/1538287426439352/

He liked more cows, even if he was great and very wise: You know there will be always trouble after few years of marriage. Routine life will erode all sympathy and love between 2 persons in love. Cows are more simple to understand.

your icon is my hero. that psycho guy from the noir films. what can i do to help?

And that goes for you too.

Julien Radoff Have you seen the fashion show segment from "The Women"?

I thought the very same thing.

Yeah, now we've even done it to outer space

LOL - you obviously did not notice Barbara throwing the telegram overboard at the beginning of the film. I suspect we'd already started turning the ocean into a garbage can way back then.

@@anaderol5408 I did notice; but the telegram, as paper, would readily and harmlessly biodegrade unlike the plastic (then hardly invented) which we currently and very harmfully throw into the oceans etc.The other issue is the volume of waste - in 1938 the population of the Earth was less than a third of what it now is. Until we reduce the human population dramatically, all resolutions to make a meaningful difference to the global environment are so much (additional) hot air; the zero sum game must apply on a finite planet: the prevalence and concomitant aspirations of one species necessarily means less space/habitat/ resources for others; cut it how you like, and shy away from the truth, the obvious fact remains. Attitudes of concern, and even actual practical care by well-intentioned people are both largely useless gestures until the root problem is addressed. You can sentimentalise individual humans, but this predictable tendency will not save the species, nor indeed any other species unfortunately. I don't think anything effective will be done, so the situation will continue to deteriorate in practice, technological 'fixes' and international 'targets' notwithstanding - the immutable physical laws of nature, by which we ultimately survive or die out, are the only valid arbiters, and by that yardstick there has been continuous and accelerating failure. Sorry about that.
