Argh ... I keep waiting for the full movie to show up on You-Tube. This is a great movie. No one is going to make any more money off it, and it has little market value. Someone please put it up. I love Ronald Colman movies, not to mention Myrna Loy.
If you have a library card you can watch it for free on the library streaming service called Kanopy! They have tons of really good films - its way better than netflix. Thank you local library!
@@missyb898 Thank you Missy, I will look into it. In my local town we have a theater that plays exclusively old movies going back almost to the silent era and Pre-Code films on up the modern era and I got addicted to those old movies. So many of them are just wonderful. I think I will have to renew my library card.
'm in a corps that stood before the King for half a day, I've the pick of all the ladies, and I'm very pleased to say, They all threw kisses mixed wi' smiles, they get me on the dot, But there's one called Daisy, she's the dearest daisy of the lot. She is my Daisy, my bonnie Daisy, She's the sweetest sugar candy and she's very fond of Sandy, And I weary For my dearie, I would rather lose my spurs than lose my Daisy.
1) good entertainment, lite-romance blended lite-comedy. 2) classic/ideal tempo for a pre-code film. 3) strong performance by ALL supporting actors. 4) the so talented young Loretta Young. 5) Ronald Colman. 6) idiot dog. 7) did I forget anything? ;)
That is her real voice. Also, while publicists at MGM liked to pin her as Irish..actually her heritage was Scottish. See interview with her in early 1980s here in You Tube. Part One..she talks about her background..and also that she and her grandfather were fans of Harry Lauder.
This was filmed during Bob's Chrstmas engagement at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska (which also included the "Ginger Peachy" sketch), and originally telecast on December 28, 1956.
@plethora77 No, it wouldnt be. It would be nothing short of a travesty and a slap in the face to the director and all the others involved in the production of this masterpiece.
Where did you get this clip? I bought Bob Hope's Christmas DVD with this show but it does not include this clip it has a different one when Bob discovers gold and Ginger plays Ginger Peachy after his gold mine. I like the clip!
GSN rebroadcast this 1960 episode in March 2009. It featured Eddy, still looking very romantic and a game involving the owner of a pickle packing plant. Audiences usually find pickles funny for various Freudian reasons. This game, however, spun out of control. The panel drifted out to sea; Bennett got visibly upset with John's obtuseness; some of the questions nauseated John. I find this episode funny even now, but I bet the director nearly pushed the censor button on it.
Nelson moved to Philadelphia at age 14 but always stayed true to his New England roots. I`m glad that he always retained a hint of his native New England accent. I too loved the "Ayuh". Lorraine Lorraine
Delightful to see Nelson on What's My Line. Got quite a chuckle over the "Kookie" imitation (a la 77 Sunset Strip's Ed Byrnes--a popular show at the time). Nelson had a grand sense of humor as well as a magnificent voice. Thanks for this clip!
Nelson looks wonderful. Loved the "Ayuh" (he was born in Providence, RI). His nightclub act was very popular and he toured extensively for several years. Saw him perform in 1963 and he was terrific. Thanks for sharing.
Sadly it's not Rupert Holmes' call. He'd love for the show to get onto dvd but AMC keeps dragging their feet about everything in regards to the show...
I LOVE THIS SHOW! I agree, the way it ended was decidedly the worst in history. Still hard to believe, in fact. How on earth can we get this put on DVD?? I would buy it SO fast.
