Yes, it was a delight.

Those days just before the 2nd World War were also quite stressful for a lot of people, specially the Jews.

@@grip2617 and the poor and destitute and disabled and casted aside and mentally challenged and families of murdered victims and and and.......but yes, GODS chosen people who turned away from their true messiah truly had it sad. Pray for Jerusalem.

In the 60s, I heard him described as, "suave and sophisticated". All 3 terms are correct, but he stands out because he was no snob- he drew people to him with the same qualities that turn most of us away. He's definitely one of the larger 'gems' in England's actor-studded crown.

GREAT INFO! THANKS FOR SHARING I HAD NO IDEA! WOW🙏❤️

@@Stardustpal25 It is easy to hypnotize rabbits doves and small animals. Howard Thurston used to hypnotize a large duck and made a big deal out of it in his live show. It is also Paul LePaul that hypnotizes the rabbit, and does all the hand close up slight of hand.

Has any magician ever jumped out of a plane in handcuffs?

Niven and Young work well together n svrl movies, n fact.

When I was in elementary school we had magicians come to our school.

Not so happy for the second husband and Lola.

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you. 🍕🍕🍕

Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.

David Niven looked enough like my father to be his twin brother.

She could play a role, too.

@@PizzaFLIX Always a pleasure 🌹

me too - arden especially. niven aint bad either

I hope you don't think David Niven as a lady 😀

Nice catch. I never knew that Billie Burke played Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. BTW, that "Good Witch of the North" also played Mrs. Topper in the movie Topper with Cary Grant and Constance Bennett.

@@bobw222 I love the Topper movies and the tv show too. How could you not love a martini drinking ghostly St Bernard dog? And I adore Billie Burke and her unmistakable voice. Like bubbles in a glass of champagne. She was in so many of the early b&w movies. It’s always a joy when she pops up. Happy viewing and a safe and happy new year!

Bean David That voice we can’t forget

Thx for the info , I love these old films.

Billie Burke probably has THE MOST distinctive voice in all of Hollywood.

I was just starting movie and paused to see if anyine would nentiin the good witch from oz...i saw& recognized her..just scanning for interesting precodes this sonebody mentioned more hollywood publicity for someone .poor dorothy poor drug world of fame took that dear sweet girl i watch darker more interesting but saw my childhood dream a fairy godmother 3 or so years since your comment. 23 now awful fun NOT these are rough times..so were early times. Narcotic i watched last night old very riduculous drug scene..women using needles cocaine..i actually thought it should be seen by more people..just for really intense scene& some bleak fake chinese dude reminded me of a bad opium using Leanard Nemo..well tmi but addicted to really great old movies..ines that teach me something..Glinda was well helping them thru drug enhanced bad dream. Post covid is a bad dream. Prior to covid i had just begun persuing well made or cultish b movies...but did love oz. Oz was kinda like todays world flying monkeys druggies& strange magical creatures who cannot be called out for being heartless or brainless or fearless..well fear full tmi ..sorry.TMC was my fav channel watch tons every chance i get. Anyway watching for the good witch and if its boring ty for long 3 years ago answering a question i had tonite! magic indeed( must be inspired by magic ..god knows we all need a good witch in 2023!)

Beverly Hintzen it made me laugh, and then cry at the end.

Not so happy for the second husband and Lola.

Very sad how he lost his first wife. She died very young.

one of the very best!!!

@@danielstanwyck2812 I wonder what she thought of Joan Crawford!

One of my favorite actresses. She some great lines in Midred Pierce with Joan Crawford.

Janet Hartwig Bishop's Wife cast

Not a Loretta Young what?

@@randywhite3947 Fan.

yeah, no really, you should get off

I am dying to find out who the screen legend suffering from syphilis was.

Humphrey Bogart suffered from Type 1 Diabetes. He wasn't diagnosed or treated and a complication that led to his death. I

I really enjoyed his books too. They are definitely to be recommended.

Too bad she had to hide an unplanned pregnancy.

@ Tom Hawkins-Rita Hayworth??👍

Lainie Slaght I

I agree, Highway Patrol!

Broderick Crawford

Flora Bunda My grandparents attended the 1939 New York State's World Fair and I have a souvenir tray from there. I had a souvenir coin but it was stolen back in February when my house was broken into. It broke my heart they probably didn't get anything for it even on eBay it was only going for $35. It just happened to be in with the coin collection that they stole.

@@suzannejensen275 any recovery? Advertise online you're looking for one. Catch a thief?

long before but He took a break as he returned to Britain to serve in WW2. Which meant he lost his star status for a time. Famously as he was leading a patrol of scout cars across a dangerous bridge he rallied his men by saying "Its alright for you ,you only have to do this once. after the war I will have to do it over again but with Errol Flynn!"

Yes ... but he was rather good equipped .. with a silken fairy scarf . to wear on patrol 😊

Good catch. Thanks.

Billy Burke's voice is the most unique & sweet voice I've ever heard. As a child, I really believed she was an angel.

@@barbarabowman3328 Yes her voice truly is unique, as soon as I heard her speak, I knew exactly who she was, who could forget Glinda, a role she made famous, and that voice so sweet and a child-like innocence to it. As a child, we all would think her the epitome of goodness, and even now, nearing my seventies, there is still that child saying the world is not so bad after all.

Meliapan today’s women even in their 20s are fat and fat! I go to the supermarket and of course they’re the ones wearing tight shorts or are they tight because their legs are bigger than mine. Many actresses were actually quite vivacious! Need I mention a few? Actually, Loretta Young maintained the same figure through her entire acting career.

Yes, they are astonishingly thin, and would have been even thinner in real life as the camera would have put weight on them. At one point in the film David Niven estimates he is 175 pounds, which I guess is still slim for a man over 6 foot.

The studios wanted their leading women to be slim and put them on diets. Niven was naturally slim as was James Stewart, who, if I remember correctly, was put on a banana diet by the studio , to make him put on weight. They wanted the leading women to be very slim, but they didn't want men to be too slim.

Glinda

Wasn't she interfering..

That is the tune of Big Ben's chimes in London. The tune is much older than Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Completed: 31 May 1859; 161 years ago as of 2020
