I LOVE SEEING THESE,PENNY SINGLETON OWNED ALL THESE MOVIES ..SHE WAS PRETTY TO BOOT AND VERY SMART..LAKE WAS GREAT ACTOR.HE SHOWS THAT HERE AND THE TV SERIES..
These Blondie movies were so funny and sweet all at the same time. All innocent humor and they were able to tell the whole story in just over an hour in length.
Thank you for this. These films are eighty years old and they are still so funny. The humor is not dated at all. Larry Simms was an amazing child actor
Yay , this movie is on today on the Movies ! Channel 11-17-18. The Blondie movies used to come on commercial tv back in the day. It was on KHJ , Channel 9 , Los Angeles. This was what we watched after church , we didn't have Cartoon Network , nor Boomerang , or the Disney Channel. We had commercial tv , and after this was over , we went outside and played. We rode our bikes , tossed a football ,or baseball and played roller derby ( We didn't have helmets , or shinguards and we were bruised in a match game , mom always applied iodine to any wounds).
Yep. Use to watch it also after church in growing up in LA. And Monster Rally too. At first I thought Blondie and Dagwood only existed in the funny papers of the LA Times. Well, I suppose they all start off in the funnies before being in motion pictures, like Lil Abner, Heathcliff, etc.
@@SwarthySkinnedOne Blondie began in the funny pages in 1933. The comic strip was created by Chic Young and was so popular , in 1938, Columbia pictures made a movie about Blondie. The Blondie series starred Penny Singleton as Blondie and Arthur Lake as Dagwood. It was also an old time radio program and ran from 1939 , until 1950. It was also a TV series in 1957 , Penny Singleton did'nt want to play Blondie , but Arthur Lake starred as Dagwood. The comic strip Blondie ran in the Los Angeles Examiner , it was a Hearst publication distributed by King Features Syndicate
Don't you think that Dag and Blondie left Dumpling unattended a great deal? Like going to the Skycar while Dumpling is alone in his bunk. Leaving him and Daisy in the middle of the night while Dagwood and Blondie go back to the hotel. Leaving him upper stairs while Dag and Blondie go downstairs. I would be calling Child Protective Services.
@@shawnmalone9711 You're welcome, I'm going to watch it for sure on TV. Probably going to watch "Takes a Vacation" later later tonight or tomorrow. I don't miss cable TV and the bills at all.
I remember wondering the same thing a few years ago. Larry Simms (Baby Dumpling) died aged 74 in 2009 after a career working in oil in the Middle East. He lived and died in Thailand.
@Andrew Wanner *Yeah...people were still doing that until the early '60's in the suburbs of Detroit, like Dearborn...everyone on your block would know you were on vacation and would keep an eye on your house (people would leave porch-lights on so the neighbors could see anyone 'hanging around' at night...and if people next to you went somewhere, you'd watch their house...a neighbor kid would make sure the lawn was kept mowed to make $5 or something* (everyone used 'reel' mowers then!) *People took a huge amount of pride in having their own house then...they'd 'help a neighbor' with damn near anything because the people on your block all knew 'who lives where'...and if you were sick or something or had some family crisis, people would help because they knew they would need help themselves sometime*( *Not 'everything was great!' then...far from it!...but it was MUCH better than 'Now' in an era of random violence for the sake of violence* )
@@gerrynightingale9045 Its 2019 now, but my husband & I have been blessed to have built our home & raised our boys in a nice, middle-class community & lovely, safe, suburban neighborhood about 25 miles north of Cincinnati, Ohio. We've had the same close-knit neighbors in our little cul-de-sac for 20+ yrs. Our children, all boys (!), grew up & went to school together, played together & went off to college at the same time. Some are now starting families of their own. We always know when there's been a wedding, a birth or a sad event in a neighbor's family, when someone's on vacation, is sick or needs a neighborly helping hand. We still look out for one another & for each other's home & property. Perhaps our situation is unique today. But its for that very reason that we all feel so very, very blessed & are hopeful things never change.🙏💕🇺🇸✌
*So...essentially nothing 'bad' has happened to your family in 25-yrs.which proves what, exactly?**"GOD FAVORS US...and takes a shit on others He doesn't care for"...is that what you're implying? Because that's exactly what I'm reading with all your 'Blessed' nonsense of confusing 'statistical anomaly' with the reality of everyone else!*
Watching this again 4 years later. Notice how Arthur Lake grabbed Daisy by the collar to protect her from the bus at 41:37? Penny Singleton also got between Daisy and the bus, reaching down. I have a fondness for that dog because one my dogs, Elizabeth, looks very much like Daisy, even having an underbite like Daisy.
You think of old movies and think everything and all the people are in the dark ages as with intelligence. Well baby dumpling had to of been a genius and super high IQ in reality for he was smartest kid for as young as he was. He had to read and understand his lines as a young actor. He was so very smart. I wonder who trained daisy for she wasn't credibly smart too.
Yes there is a reason why they "couldn't make (a) bunch (of) these movies...today. Hollywood no longer has the talent it had at the time these movies were made. In addition, today's audiences are so cynical, jaded, and angry. They can only relate to ugliness, filth, and endless profanity. The standards have been so lowered that the public is served trash, and they eat it up.
