Stars: James Stewart Carole Lombard, Charles Coburn Director: John Cromwell Young lawyer meets and marries girl after knowing her one day. Takes bride home to meet his mother who disapproves of the marriage.
I have seen yesterday and will remember for a long time - I hope. Beautiful story showing us in real life. Imagine, more than more than 80 years passed and we can see in excellent condition this film. I am so glad to live.
@@65drummer1 John Wayne made 2 of the best westerns ever made. The Searchers and The Shootist. The Quiet Man is my favorite non western. But James Stewart was my favorite because his portrayals were always understated. He was a common man who was usually thrust into situations that made him heroic.
A Combat B-17 Bomber Pilot and Squadron Commander with the 8th air force during World War II also and finally Retired a General in the Air Force Reserve.
🤷♀️THIS is why old movies were so GREAT! When the answer to the _horrible life threatening issue_ was to *_PRAY!!_* We’re always wondering _WHAT HAPPENED_ to the world, where did we go wrong?? _WHY_ did things used to seem better?! THIS!! _THIS IS WHY!!_ No one PRAYS or even RECOGNIZES *GOD* ANYMORE!! If _anyone is listening?_ PLEASE *_PLEASE_* PRAY WITH ME to *_INVITE GOD BACK IN!?!!_* 😇🙏🏻 *_GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!_* 💋
This is a much more positive message than most Christians give ...thank you for not assuring my place in hell. I'm so tired of those sanctimonious religious people who make religion sound as appealing as a cane whipping.
🤷♀️Also TY Sherie Cooper for acknowledging that it’s not *MY* place to deem where anyone is _”going”_ ... i feel my duty is just to try to _HELP._ So it ends up that _YOU_ made ME feel better about things instead of vise versa. 🤦🏼♀️ Appreciated again, *_TY for that!!_* 😬💋
why? why do the best have to be taken from us so young?? it's saturday morning and here i am on youtube because there is NOTHING on the tv where people actually act!
the first time I saw this movie years ago I wrote down Lily's words....don't let the seeds spoil you enjoying the watermelon....just spit em out...jus spit em out......still good advice I think!
You gotta love Lombard. She was so attractive. Not gorgeous necessarily but you could tell that she was one loyal woman. It breaks my heart to think of what her death did to Clark Gable.
@@SciFiGirl007 True. I'm sure she was no saint. She worked in Hollywood for crying out loud. I don't want to think what she might've done to get these roles
I'm in Boston, and I think Massachusetts has a waiting period to get married, from the time you both go in and apply for a Marriage License. Not sure how long it is, but usual is at least 3 days. Could be as long as a week. I'd suspect, that since this is Massachusetts, and not much changes in the Law, that it hasn't changed since 1939. I think you may have to have a blood test too. Not positive cuz I've never gotten married (Thank God!!). So they couldn't have gotten married, in Boston, after 1 day.
Have the laws possibly changed since the time the movie was made? It's MOVIE! It's for ENTERTAINMENT!! It's for ENJOYMENT!!! It's NOT supposed to be a documentary with all of the facts and figures. Just ENJOY!
Bob Parker Yeah, but I hate it when Hollywood gets "lazy". They should be factually correct, and certainly at least correct as to legalities. Would it have killed them to have done it right? To have complied with the law? Would it have altered the substance of the movie? As I said, this is Massachusetts, old Puritan, Victorian values and laws. So I doubt the law has changed since 1939. I could research it, but I don't feel like it.
MsG. Now did I not say "I think.........Not sure.............I'd suspect...........Not positive cuz I've never gotten married........."? Didn't I say all that? Yet this James Simpson guy comes back with a "Memoranda of Law" as though I was stating Fact, and that I was certain. Where did I ever say that I was certain? I only threw out the "possibility" for debate. So thank you Attorney Simpson for your Legal Research and Brief, in this case, before the Court. But really.............who gives a flying F***!!! Also, I said in my 2nd comment... "I could research it, but I don't feel like it". Didn't I say that? Then this Simpson guy is lashing out at me in his comment for my NOT doing something that I specifically said I could have done but simply did not feel like doing, couldn't waste my time, and frankly don't really care. But apparently he does care, and he has so much free time to waste, to research this stupidity. Wow!!! P.S. I'm not even going to waste my time to click on the site he provided to verify what he said. Cuz again, I don't care!!! I think marriage is stupid anyways. Serves no purpose. Back in Victorian Days, we use to have here (well, technically we still do) what was called a "Boston Marriage". That was when 2 women lived together for a long time, and never got married to a man, and never dated a man. Everyone knew that they were Lesbians, but that word was never spoken in proper society. There were a lot of "Boston Marriages" on Beacon Hill and in the Back Bay, and amongst prominent families, so the women were often well off financially. There is an area of Boston called "Bay Village" (which we all call "Gay Village), it is located off of Stuart Street and Charles Street South. It has been the living area for Gay and Lesbians for decades, going back to the 1940's anyways, if not even earlier. There has been a Gay NiteClub there, "Jacques" I think it is called, forever. Former Fugitive Irish South Boston Gangster James "Whitey" Bulger (finally captured, convicted, and in a Federal Pen in Florida, at 84 or 85 years old now, not sure) use to "hussle" gays at that Club and in that area as a teenage and in his early 20's before he went into the Air Force (he is bi-sexual. Supposedly he had sex with Actor Sal Mineo one time, way back when, before Sal got murdered.). I think one of the things Whitey use to do was "blackmail" the wealthy young lesbian gals coming down off Beacon Hill to "Jacques" and other places. Threatening to tell their parents that they were Lesbians, etc.. But I don't believe we ever had a special term for two men living together in such a way. Other than to call them "fags", "fruits", "fairies", "queens", "perverts", etc.. But Boston has had them for along time, long before this Liberal Puke Justice Marshall (I think that is her name) of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court made HER Ruling that said same sex marriage is permissible in Massachusetts. She isn't even an American. She's from South Africa for Christ's sake. She only did it, cuz she needed a "cause" to head up, cuz she was retiring from the bench. So now she's made Millions of $$$ giving speeches and writing about same sex marriage and gay/lesbian rights, etc. That was the only reason that she did it. Isn't Liberalism wonderful? Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!

35:15 Jimmy: Jane, don't you think he looks old? Jane: What do you mean old? Jimmy: Jane, don't you think he kinda looks like Edward G. Robinson? Didn't you tell me you knew Edward G. Robinson? Jane?.........Jane?
Wow, this is so different than today it is unbelieveable. All a woman was for was dinner parties, and she didn't even do the work, she hired people for it.
Tina Crawford : Not true at all, omg closed minded people. Women worked damn hard back then, are you nuts? Maybe rich people hired help, but certainly not, the everyday middle class woman! My mother's work was never done, she worked from early morning, scrubbing cooking ironing, until late night. You name it she did it, along with millions of other hard working women. They had no time for parties. They were too damn tired. Gee Shallow mind, judging off of a movie. That is how much you know? Which is Nothing ! Some people can't tell the difference between real life, and fictional people, places, and situations! Go get a book, expand your mind.
@@LukeLovesRose I totally agree, some people are just hopelessly shallow. Women worked very hard back then , my Mother was only one of the many millions of women, who did. Thank God I took after my Mom, God rest her soul. She taught me everything I know, about hard work.
trina crawford And what a shame! Being an energetic & intelligent part of your life makes the journey more meaningful ~ whether you have money or not...
55:00 OK after taking a 25% pay cut i say he needs to fire the cook/maid and start charging mom rent or make her start pulling her weight by cleaning the nappies and doing half the cooking.
+aja mazin She's responsible for Stewart's character being such a loser. Smart move to marry someone who never met his mother, the bitch. No chance to learn how weak he is (worst thing for a trial attlorney).
🙆🏼♀️Wow women’s attitudes back then. “I want the platinum diamond ring 💍 the mink coat🧥 and EVERYTHING that’s coming to me ...” And this was a _pep talk!!_ You can have all that shit right now sweetheart ! *_GET A JOB!!!!_* 🤦🏼♀️🤷♀️🙄
I certainly enjoyed Stewart & Lombard together...but frankly the movie was quite simply boring all the way through and it only became worse when the had that rushed montage at the end to try and tie it all together. Two great talents, very badly wasted.
🤷♀️Can you actually run a commercial and interrupt a program soo _ANNOYINGLY OFTEN_ that you’re gonna cause me to *NOT* feel sympathy for the “woman with metastatic breast cancer” *_OVER&OVER&OVER_* ... *_C’MONNNN!!!!_* 🙄😳🤦🏼♀️
The maid/cook needs to be launched to the moon......... alone..... she's only human....James is skinnier than a bean pole, no chest at all, likely biceps the size of my wrists......... boy he needs to eat something.
+Gohot229 He was scary skinny. I saw in the very 1st scene. He must have been hit hard by the Depression. That 1st maid was a beast. The moon is too close. A gas giant that would suck her in, far far away.....
I've been watching these old movies a lot lately. It's terrible that whenever they mention their college days, college classes, reunions, etc, it's always only reference to men! Never a woman. There are always references to the first woman this or that in the 18__ whatevers. And the first female to graduate was in 1911, etc. Yet there are few references to females in college, and none in law or medical school. I did not even notice this when I first watched these in the 1970s-80s. More aware now at least, but no wonder women were nowhere when I got my first job--literally, they had never seen a woman who was not a secretary, and would not het me in or out of buildings without an escort. That was 1978. I'm getting it now. The last century was a huge change. These movies document that! And they create a fictional history of extreme wealth where it never existed, privilege where it never did either....
+cyninbend Why, may I ask you did you bother to watch this move or any other "old movies"? They reflect the times of the day in which they are set - not for everyone but for the majority of people. Perhaps LEAVE IT TO BEAVER should feature June going out to work and Ward at home preparing Dinner?
If they did Leave it to Beaver today, Ward would be a moron and June would be a stripper. Wally would be gay and Beaver would be in trouble all the time with the law.
society will utimately form roles and the balance of power, for the survival of everyone. back then motherhood was elevated and respected, life was better then. now women commute to stress filled jobs and the family is fractured. feminism is a tool used by the world's elites to destroy the family unit and impose their own order on society, but most people fall for their media driven lies.
