Colorization is in it's nascent stage, so one must learn to appreciate the efforts being made by the colorization team to helped put this nice piece of colorization together. Quibbling is very easy, but colorization takes hours of concentrated labor to color a film. The hardest part is to correct all the errors and color aberrations that the algorithms generate. Still maintain that Home Town Story is a fine piece of colorization.
I thank you for this and the colorization is really ‘believable” . When I was a child I thought the world had actually been black and white in the past, watching the TV shows and movies with my parents.
Les premières images... Tous les personnages, le bon et les méchants ont le même tailleur, le même chapelier ?!!! En plus, leurs habits ont tous la même couleur ! ... heureusement, le chauffeur de taxi casse le stéréotype ! Merci pour cette diffusion que seulement les vieux cinéphiles apprécient ! PS Tous les journalistes aux ordres devraient regarder ce film pour voir combien leur métier a régressé grâce...à l'achat de la conscience de leur intégrité professionnelle !!!
Cult Cinema Classics: Some guys get it and some don't. I'm referring to the great colorization job done on this film. It's bright, airy with great clarity and definition in all scenes and sequences and you certainly got it. Monroe looks lovely in her early days and proves that she could also be a nice straight actress when given a juicy part she could bite into. She wasn't pushing her sexuality in this film though it was very much in evidence , but doing a fine job as a secretary and being respectful to one of the male co-workers who was overtly being fresh in a subtle way. Once again great colorization job and I wish you would kindly consider colorizing the 1962 film "Night of evil" starring Lisa Gaye and William Campbell. Look forward to a positive reply and thanks in the meanwhile!
The colorization as it pertains to skin tone is so poor, it takes away from the whole colorization. If skin tones could be so much more realistic, it could really enhance all the other colorization. I guess for some, the colorization involved overall, they can live with subpar colorization of skin tones, but imo, it just doesn't cut it. I'd still rather view as b&w in that situation. Hopefully with AI these days, colorization can be vastly improved. Having said this, there are moments in this movie where the skin tones are actually passable (scenes in evening/night where it's darker overall.) It's the daytime/more light scenes where the colorized skin tone suffers.
I would have liked to see more authentic engagement between herself and the charming, respectful Slim. Otherwise, this was a propaganda piece to defend big business.

Aside from the fact that the colorization is identical to just about every other second-rate job ever done, and that the colors have very little relationship to reality (brown orange juice that looks like chocolate milk and gray school busses that should be yellow), and that the colors squirm and change with any movement in the scene...again like every other second-rate colorization job...and as another commenter said, the skin tones are awful...yeah, it's just great.
Отличный фильм! Шедевр классического Голливуда 40-х, 50-х годов! Актёры сыгравшие по настоящему в живую, талантливо!!! Правда, Мэрилин Монро здесь в коротких эпизодах. К сожалению сейчас в наше время, таких талантливых актёров и актрис в Голливуде уже нет и не будет, и фильмов в том числе!
MM does a respectable job in this movie. I cannot image one person and 30 children on a field trip but, that is the movies! Donald Crisp as usual takes the scene.....great actor.😊😊😊❤
Hugh Beaumont takes the slug at the start of the film... in just a few years he would be lead actor in movies himself and forever "Ward Cleaver" from "Leave it to Beaver"!
La película tiene un buen argumento actores que se destacan en el filme y ver a Marilyn Monroe como actriz secundaria todavía no era la famosa Marilyn. Ricardo Alegria Zambrano Popayan cauca Colombia
I thought the opposite. Never thought she was a good actress but I thought she was good in this movie. She carried out the "lowly office worker" role very well. 😍😍😍
Sure, but profits to the customer doesn't explain why profits to the shareholders have to be so high. A bit less and you could save even more lives with that clever machine of MacFarlane's. P.S. I think that Iris chick could go places.
There was a movie made with Kirk Douglas where he's a seedy tabloid reporter looking for a kind of "Geraldo" story to milk. That movie was so much better than this one was called, "Ace In The Hole". A great movie!
I'm only part way through this movie, so my judgement may be premature. this is an excellent (if imperfect) example of the sort of morality tale absent from our present time. It's theme is pro-capitalism, American-style. You may notice the absence of any mention of labor unions, which eventually negotiated for improved wages and conditions throughout the 1950s. The monologue delivered by the character, Mr John MacFarland is the essential message, (38:12). While the protagonist, Mr Blake Washburn, is an ego-maniac and failed "pink-o" politician, he is slow to understand the constructive application of power, which is properly-regulated capitalism, and totally blind to power that is corrupting him. Like Don Quixote charging at windmills, Blake charges at local employers, making baseless accusations. Blake uses his powers of the press to inflated his own importance in hope of another chance at "the big time", maybe the presidency. Before the drama is over, he will learn the error of his ways. Frank Capra would not have made this movie. The "Red Era" of Hollywood had ended. 1951 was the height of the McCarthy Red Scare period. Hollywood producers would serve themselves well by distributing movies with such pro-business messages, as their studios were under scrutiny from the House Un-American Activities Committee. I hope viewers will take away a sense of history, as well as a glimpse of future American symbols, Marilyn Monroe, (when sexual harassment was normal), ideal American patriarchy, Hugh Beaumont, and the Skipper, Alan Hale Jr. OK, roll the credits, I am not surprised nor disappointed. Propaganda? Well. perhaps yes. But there was plenty of socialist propaganda in the 1930s, to which few socialists would protest.
40:47 There was plenty here back then. There were many civilizations, people, systems of living, here. They just didn't involve massive destruction of nature, which is what this character values as "something".
I'm sure the Senator from Wisconsin had a hand in this one. A very confused attempt to defend the profit system, with private ambulances, planes, oxygen tanks, pump motors, and hospitals thrown into the mix. No understanding of social usefulness, common need or labour value. The production values were good as were the performances including that of the young Marilyn.
He visto por segunda vez la película. El tema es la crítica a la acumulación propia de un sistema capitalista, que el periodista descubre, pero no logra consolidar la crítica por un evento en el que todos los medios propiedad del industrial se procuran para una causa benéfica. El problema no es la ganancia sino las condiciones laborales y la repartición de la utilidad entre los trabajadores. No olvidemos a Robert Owen un industrial con iniciativa en atender las demandas de los trabajadores. Por eso la pregunta de uno de los diálogos…¿A dónde van las utilidades? ¿Quiénes se benefician de ellas?
Didn't age well did it considering US citizens can't pay for things like insulin and even Denny Laine had to start a "gofundme". Not to mention no warning or barricade on the mine from the copper co. For starters.
40:50= "...when this country was first discovered there was nothing here". Someone who reasons like this could only eliminate first nations populations and destroy nature to bring "progress"= floods, forests burning, tornadoes, etc.
40:49 "Remember Blake, when this country was first discovered, there was nothing here. Now look around. Everything you see is profits." So the main message here is that without capital and profit there would be nothing in North America. Except that there were billions of tons of natural resources that nature took billions of years to produce without any help from anyone and without which capital alone would be nothing more than an idea in the minds of some talking monkeys. And actually, there were also people already living there, before the country was "first discovered". Interesting to hear that they counted for nothing, although, we already knew that given the way they were systematically slaughtered. Having said that, it was nice to see Marylin Monroe years before she became a pathetic victim of profits and politics.
Даже здесь у мерлим походка сксуальна просто прошла документы положика а как красиво эта походка мерлим на все ее года когда она жила жаль что не оценили мерлим зато в наш век она популярна это здорово
Монро восхитительна оворожительна молода свежа если бы она могла свою судьбу по другому перевернуть думаю по другому пути пошла бы но то время обстоятельства окружения короче судьба не переедиш не обойдеш прелесть на неё смотреть
Да то время интерестно смотреть другой мир знали бы они что у нас сейчас есть в шоке были жаль машины времени нету все просто мерлим цветочек восходящий ❤
Сегодня я посмотрела этот фильм и быстро понял. Оказывается(это мой бред) у меня украли детей. В 50-х годах я была счастливой женщиной. Мэрилин Монро (я точно не знаю) украла. И я плакала, долго плакала, доплакалась.
@@sergioferraro3644 I sottotitoli non servono. Se devi leggerli, non guardi i volti, le espressioni, le azioni dei protagonisti. In altri termini, non ti godi il film.
