@@eugenekozma2697 I wish we had actors and writers and directors today that could create movies like this again. No CG , no nudity, no excessive graphic violence and language you could listen to with your children and not be embarrassed. Where all the characters were either a man or a woman and you knew which was which , lol. They would probably be popular classics 90 years from today, like these are.
@@kennethlongsr4009 yes I agree.mickey rooney and his likes as well as the creative people who worked behind the scenes are the likes we will never see again.they were one of a kind like the artistic movies they created.oh Hollywood's golden age.
I haven't seen this movie in a long time and it's still as good as I remember, even if it was hard on Mickey Rooney. A very warm-hearted family style movie that brings out a lot of excellent values and some good fatherly advice. Thanks for posting it. Joe S
Wonderful movie. A glimpse of how kids grew up with two parents who took the time to love them and offer guidance. Kids back then were mostly decent and respected their parents and other adults, unlike some of the lazy, know-it-all millennials today.
Your analogy is a little off. It's an illusion world. This is made for the movies life. I grew up with 2 parents but there was no love, An illusion family. Never a family meal together. A father who'd rather be at work than home and a mother who rarely made breakfast before school or dinner after. Try going to school with socks with holes if you found any and they weren't poor either.
I think there's more than one with Judy Garland as "Polly" if I remember correctly, I used to watch them as a kid in the early days of TV in country Victoria, when there wasn't much else to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and I had blown all my pocket money and couldn't go to the Saturday Matinee's at the local movie theatre.
Many Hardy plots revolve around some financial dilemma. Per 2020 conversion, that jacket would cost $821, contest prize $1060, business partner profit $1200. Given their true ages, the Kittridge age difference was only 10 yrs. So impressed by the accomplished Dorothy Ford, 6'2"; surprised I never noticed her in her many films, some iconic. Husband of 30 yrs, Mike Ragan, was 5'9".
Sensible flm depicting all the sorrows, joys, disappointments of this mortal life,played by consummate, polished actors who can turn prosaic dialogue into thespian interest. Good strong intelligent philosophy in a middle-class Mid-Western family with.all the stresses and conflicts of modern life.
I CAN HARDLY REMEMBER WHEN HOLLYWOOD MOVIE'S REMINDED US HOW IMPORTANT FAMILY VALUES WERE *** WHEN CHILDREN HAD THE ABILITY TO HAVE BOTH PARENTS TO RAISE THEM UP TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE HARD WORKING ADULTS *** THAT COULD ALWAYS TURN TO THEIR PARENTS FOR GOOD ADVICE THAT WOULD LEAD TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE ***
59:35 Andrew (Mickey) lives so kind that a big girl named Coffee come to be alive again, loved by guys for dancing. I like this character, good-nature Mickey Rooney better than a mischievous gangster. Thank Heavens for sharing kindly posted by Mr. PizzaFlix. Arigato. ありがとう Thanks a lot.

Egbert Crawford I’ve worked on period costume work and it was two things - on the one hand simple construction - a very stiff 1940’s style shirt collar had to be treated separately from the actual shirt, requiring either an extreme starching or a celluloid insertion, so having them separate from the body of the shirt made this simpler. On the other hand, and still a laundry issue, how often shirts were washed - cuffs and collars were more prone to soiling, so you could get away with wearing the same shirt but adding clean, starched, cuffs and collars more easily than washing and properly laundering a full shirt. Edit: this related mostly to formal wear by this period.
And what sensible idea it was. Ive had to throw multiple dress shierts out over the years because the cuffs or collar started to fray. I've often thought it would be a great idea being able to have standard cuffs or double cuffs for cuff links
'These are not ideas. These are truths..... You're not going to South America to fulfill a lifelong ambition. You are just running away from a girl. And, what's more important, you're running away from your first defeat. Now, that's true, isn't it?'
*AHHH! They used the old "somebody closed the door right behind Mickey Rooney...but stayed out of sight" routine, eh?!?! That didn't fool anybody back in the day and it's still DUMBER than a sack of pink Martian potatoes today!!!!!!!*
