I truly enjoyed this movie. Mom introduced this to me when I was a young child & I throughly loved it! I really miss her being alive with me. But she went to her rest. I’m hoping to see her again someday soon in a brand new body & completely healthy mind etc. We’ll see.
This video is so well cut that Peter Lorre always suits any music ...How can there be such lovely people in the world? Thank you for your work. It's a combination of romance, cuteness and naughty.☺️
Didn't know Madame Tussauds is in Baker Street until I saw the Holmes statue and put two and two together in 2013. Sadly i I didn't know at the time what house number Holmes lived in.
Oh, my God. I like this song. It's cheerful and makes people feel good ... I feel better after reading it, and this music is in line with Peter Lorre's funny characters.
I really love these classics. And thanks to your channel I discover more gems of films and learn so much about them❤❤❤❤

I remember watching this when it first came on television in 1977. ITV showed it on 3 consecutive Wednesdays in December of that year. Louis Jourdan was excellent as Dracula & Frank Finlay was excellent as Van Helsing
Very interesting thank you he was such a talented man never really given a shot I’m sure he’s looking down from heaven and happy that people remember his work thank you again God bless you and yours
"(...) and that is why Jewish Hollywood understandingly hates German mythology (...)" To interpret the movies from a 'politically correct' moral high ground - gained from post-war Transatlantic literary critics - will grasp little of it's actual cultural background (e.g. 'Arts and Craft', 'Youth Movement') or the 'progressive' tilt, Lang may have given the medieval and Romantic material (e.g. dramatizing *the tragic fate of blind 'Nibelung Loyality'* - a topos that would be naively engraved in the 'Hitler Youth' and 'Schutzstaffel' ceremonial daggers). In the end the movies tell a tale of the Burgundians - *_Romanized Germanic speaking peoples_* - turning _perfidious_ by Western learning and craft - foreshadowing operating 'concentration camps' with American punch cards along a rational ideology of natural selection.
@@vintagesoup79 "My videos are mere surface level histories." Fair enough. We all have to start somewhere. You got a feedback, dissenting from a mainstream narrative - if it resonates, play with it.
Attori GRANDISSIMI i films che hanno interpretato restano nella storia del cinema ancora oggi esercitano un interesse e un fascino intramontabili.Sono i films che insieme ai Western Preferisco ed amo di più. Straordinari e mitici.
What a lovely tribute to two wonderful, charismatic and intelligent actors! I also love "Dimitrios" and "Three Strangers". As a tiny difference of opinion, I don't feel that Johnny West is conventional in any real sense as a romantic lead or a hero: he's an alcoholic dreamer, led into a terrible situation, needing protection he's lucky enough to get. He's philosophical; good but rather weak; clear-sighted but unable to take real action. While it would have been fascinating to see what an actor like Errol Flynn (undervalued as a dramatic actor), I'm so glad the role went to Lorre, so that we could see both what he could bring to the character and what the character could feed to him.
This is a great video very informative and fun great job and your accent makes you more endearing. I read the cinematographer Curt Courant was of Jewish decent so he had to hall ass out of Germany. I was thinking of how the dude felt knowing what horrors he avoided
Fascinating analysis of this classic movie! May i ask which sources you used to make this video? Did you watch the documentary "Remembering Dead of Night"? It's absolutely riveting!
Thanks for the comment. yeah, I was appalling with sources and am still a disorganised mess which is why I haven't made as many of the videos lately. three books I used were "The Secret Life of Ealing Studios" by Robert Sellers, "Devils Advocates Dead of Night" by Jez Conolly & David Owain Bates and "Forever Ealing" by George Perry. Yes, I have watched Remembering Dead of Night and used some of that as well. I was too disorganised to continue making videos though I hope to remedy that soon.
@@vintagesoup79 Thank you for listing the sources! I'll definitely have to explore them, Ealing is such a mythical studio, and is unfortunately quite underrated and overlooked in film history, it's such a shame! Please don't feel pressured to make new videos, take all the time you need! We will always enjoy your insightful analyses and retrospectives whenever they come! As a film student, your videos are truly a treat! Thank you for sharing your passion with us :)
My favourite movie of all time Dr Mabuse is my hero Nobody answers a phone like him It has car chases, gunfights, gambling, seances, stock market manipulation, murders, suicides, kidnapping,every time I watch it I see something new For instance in the robbery on the train if you look you can see the briefcase is actually thrown from the train and bounces down the embankment. Extra credit for calling the 1911 automatic pistol a revolver, the British used to call any handgun a revolver, vacuum cleaner Hoover situation, but this is not often seen now

I'm currently reading a book by one of the architects involved in the stage design and he tells that they paid their people in the morning and they rushed to the markets because by noon, the money wasn't worth enough to buy food. Anyway, Kriemhilde, both in general and her depiction in this movie is one of my favorite characters ever. God forbid women do anything...
@@vintagesoup79 It's "Der Schatten des Architekten" by Erich Kettelhut. I don't know if there's an English translation, though. It also contained a lot of what you told in the video.
I’m boarding on tears 😭🥰♥️it’s incredibly beautiful! We really truly need these absolutely gorgeous/beautiful musicals back! But there’s literally NOTHING LIKE THIS; LIKE THEM! Oh, dear lord please create the same kind of content/art! But without precious Gigi & Gaston they’d probably never be quite the same as the real thing! Simply put. Ahh, Gigi! ♥️👏😢 👈due to the words sung. I certainly agree with the sentiment stated below 👇

My favorite is 1951 with Alistair Sims.My favorite animated is 2009 with Jim Carry. The first one I could remember was the animated one in 1971 version. It would always come on Thanksgiving day because as a child, I'd watch it at my grandma's house. Great video!
Back in the forties after the success of The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca, Greenstreet and Lorre were billed as the “fat man and the little man.” They were unforgettable.
Dwight Frye was probably the first method actor, brilliant, totally absorbed in, and gave his all in every character he portrayed. He steals every scene he's in and has made me a lifelong devoted fan. Dwight you're the best character actor to grace the silver screen.
