Hi Dawn, love the reaction. In real life, Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan knew each other before making it in Hollywood. Jimmy was madly in love with her. Sullavan thought of Jimmy as a brother! Jimmy Stewart was roommates and best friend of another classic Hollywood actor, Henry Fonda. He was the conscientious juror in "12 Angry Men". Sullavan and Fonda fell for each each other and got married. It didn't last very long, but Jimmy and Margaret never got together. Margaret Sullavan was quite the gal. She was the only actor who put the fear of God into one of old Hollywood's most feared studio heads, Louis B. Mayer. In those days they ruled like tyrants. Can't wait for your next reaction!

I think reacting to these older movies is great content. I know they get significantly less views but it's great to watch

@3DJapan Год назад

If you are liking these older movies I recommend It Happened One Night with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.

@tltatt Год назад

A fantastic recommendation, the 1934 film It Happened One Night is a romantic comedy which won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars and is considered one of the greatest films ever made.

The great Jimmy Stewart. I'm sure you have "It's a Wonderful Life" on your list. He made many movies, and was a Colonel in the Army Air Corps during WW2. Bomber pilot. Received many decorations for his service, was later promoted to Brigadier General after the war. Truly a Hollywood legend, and a hero, in real life, to many.

Another enjoyable reaction, thanks. Mr Matuscheck is played by Frank Morgan. He was in the Wizard of Oz. I didn't see Wizard of Oz in your list of videos, so I won't say which character. Jimmy Stewart was super famous. You'll see him some more. Your comment got me curious, so I Googled: "Pengo" money was used in Hungary between 1 January 1927, when it replaced the korona, and 31 July 1946. This movie was remade. "You've Got Mail" (1998) with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

The private detective was also in It's A Wonderful Life with Stewart. Charles Halton played Mr. Carter, the bank examiner.

Glad to see you get into old movies. One you should check out is “The Man Who Came to Dinner”, a comedy from 1941 starring Bette Davis, and Monty Woolley. It’s set at Christmas, rather than a movie about Christmas, but it’s really funny, and I think it’s the type of humor you will really appreciate.

@christhornycroft3686 Год назад

Jimmy Stewart was a terrific actor. A lot of people compare Jim Carrey's more serious roles like The Majestic and Eternal Sunshine to him. If you haven't seen it, a good one to react to for the channel for Christmas is It's A Wonderful Life. It's one of my favourite Jimmy Stewart movies, along with "Harvey," about a guy who has an imaginary friend. He was also a protege of Alfred Hitchcock and was in, most notably, Vertigo. Around this time it was customary from American actors to adopt a kid of mid-Atlantic accent or a stereotypical New York/gangster accent, but Jimmy was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, and never lost the accent. He was pretty much the "everyman" of film actors in his time.

@alansnow1129 Год назад

As an old man, I really congratulate you Dawn. So many young people (including youtube reactors) don't want to watch old black & white films. Many of the greatest films ever made were back then in the days before special effects, etc. They concentrated on the story, dialog & good actors. Many of today's films are actually re-makes of the old ones...like this one. I especially loved your appreciation for the Marx Brothers. They were unique....nobody can compare to them, in my opinion.

@andrewcharles459 Год назад

I always tell younger folk: I grew up in black and white. We got our first colour TV about 1975, and it was kind of neat for a while, but the novelty soon wore off for me. The very first thing I did when I moved out on my own about ten years later was buy a black and white TV, which were dirt cheap at the time. I have a pretty extensive collection of movies, and the majority of them are black and white - it's the only way to go!

@nealhoffman7518 Год назад

You've got mail is a decent remake, but this one is tough to best. Jimmy Stewart is a fantastic actor... and you have to see more. Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Philadelphia Story, Harvey.... The second Thin Man movie (After the Thin Man (best to see the whole series))... even his collaborations with John Wayne, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, and the Shootist

@deanjarva1373 Год назад

Margaret Sullavan and Jimmy Stewart were in 4 movies together, though this was the best one. The other 3 were Next Time We Love (1936), The Shopworn Angel (1938) and The Mortal Storm (1940).

"The Mortal Storm" is a Dark but Important Film! It was one of the very first Anti-Nazi Films!

I enjoyed your reaction and loved seeing your enjoyment of it. I recommended: "To Be or Not to Be" (1942) also by this director, Ernst Lubitsch. Actor Felix Bressart, who played PIrovitsch, the older store clerk from "Shop" is in it, too.

I was not aware of this Jimmy Stewart movie. His early career was very successful, and he won the Best Acting Academy Award for The Philadelphia Story. At the beginning of world War II he enlisted in the army and became a bomber pilot over Europe. After the war he returned to Hollywood and made a lot of really good movies even as he stayed in the Air Force Reserve and eventually retired from the Air Force as a general. My favorite early black and white movie of his is Harvey. I'd highly recommend it.

@mypl510 Год назад

Felix Bressart (the mustache guy) is a wonderful character actor of the era. I have never seen a film with him in it where I didn't absolutely love him. He always plays such nice, wholesome, likable characters. (At least, in the films I've seen him in!) One of my favorite Danny Kaye films is "A Song Is Born" (1948); Felix is in it, also. If you happen to love 1940s Swing music, you'll love this one. If you don't happen to be familiar with 1940s Swing music at all, this will teach you and you'll love it right away!

@melenatorr Год назад

He's also in another Lubitsch movie, "To Be Or Not to Be", which is another highly recommended one from me. This sweet, simple movie, based on a play, was a love project for the director, the great Lubitsch, whose father ran a small shop. You can feel the affection for theses people and their lives running through the script and the tone of the movie. Everyone is so real, so human, so someone-you-know. It feels perfect. It may not be, but I can't think of any way, offhand, that it isn't.

I love Felix Bressart! He was funny and wonderful in "It All Came True" with Humphrey Bogart and Ann Sheridan.

@rollotomassi6232 Год назад

Jimmy Stewart was not only a great actor, he was a greater patriot. Stewart entered the Army in 1940, just before the US entered WW2. After a year training new pilots in New Mexico, he was finally sent overseas to fly B-24 Liberator bombers over Nazi-occupied Europe. At a time when air crews were expected to be killed between eight and 12 missions, Stewart had flown 20. He was stationed in Europe through the end of the war, receiving two Distinguished Flying Crosses, four Air Medals, a Presidential Unit Citation and the French Croix de Guerre. Although World War II might have ended, Stewart stayed in the Army, and later the Air Force when it became an independent branch in 1947. He continued his service in the Air Force reserve, flying missions in B-52 bombers. He even flew as an observer on a bombing mission during the Vietnam War. He retired as a brigadier general from the Air Force in 1968.

That is Jimmy Stewart (my second favourite actor). Frank Morgan plays Hugo Matuschek, Morgan starred in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz in which he played six different characters. Other great black and white Christmas films are: “The Apartment” “The Bishop’s Wife” “A Christmas Carol” (starring Reginald Owen) “Christmas in Connecticut” “Come to the Stable” “Holiday Inn” “It Happened on 5th Avenue” “It’s a Wonderful Life” (as you said starring Jimmy Stewart).

@gerstelb Год назад

One of the remarkable things about this movie is that all the actors are so good, but for all of them except Frank Morgan and James Stewart, this is the movie that they’re known for. Regarding James Stewart: to add to the standard recommendations (“It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Harvey”) I would add “The Philadelphia Story,” “You Can’t Take it With You,” “Rear Window,” and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence.” I would also add that for all his “aw, shucks” persona in the movies, he was a Colonel in the Army (in the Air Corps, which wasn’t its own service at the time) who flew combat missions over Europe, and came home with a fair amount of what we would now call PTSD. 2:27 Bicarbonate of soda is basically the same as baking soda; you mix it with water and drink it to neutralize acid.

Jimmy Stewart joined the US Army Air Forces about the time this movie was made. Many of us airplane fans think it's among his best films, "Strategic Air Command" features lots of flying scenes, most especially, the astoundingly huge Convair B-36 bomber. If you dare to see it, you might try giving "Dr. Strangelove" another look because you get a taste of what the Cold War and SAC was all about. "Dr. Strangelove" was directed by the same guy who made "Full Metal Jacket," and remained on the top 200 list of best comedies for more than 20 years...

@michaelaudreson7761 Год назад

As an actor James Stewart's skill lets him do a wide range of parts, comedies in the 30s and after his war service gritty westerns and psychological thrillers. As this film appealed to you, you might like other films written and directed by the man who made this, Ernst Lubitsch. They were called having the Lubitsch touch. Ninotchka with Greta Garbo perhaps.

@SYLTales Год назад

Tom Hanks is sometimes characterized as the modern Jimmy Stewart: very versatile and occasionally brilliant. By the end of his career it was assumed that if you had Jimmy Stewart money, your movie stood a good chance of at least being good. Some day watch _The Shootist_ just to get your take on a later and much more famous Jimmy Stewart. The film is also screen legend John Wayne's final role. In any case, having watched Tom Hank's career from _Bosom Buddies_ to present, there's a very similar trajectory to Jimmy Stewart's. And yes, I'm so damned old that I saw _Bosom Buddies_ when it originally aired. No offense to any of the artists involved, but Tom Hanks was the clear stand-out. It was a sitcom that ran two or three years. The premise was a couple of guys dressing in drag so they could live in a women's college dormitory. How that show ran so long is beyond me, though I remember watching it offhanded at the time. As I say, Hanks was the clear stand-out, and it reminds me of early Jimmy Stewart. He was often able to transcend his material. Can you even imagine anyone else playing George in _It's a Wonder Life_ ? It honestly escapes me. I know a lot of Golden Age actors, and I can't imagine any young up-and-comers in the role. Can you imagine the film even working without him? Jimmy does that a lot in his early career. The fact that he was later given more complex material would have been no surprise to anyone. Just as Tom Hank's later career was no surprise to anyone watching _Bosom Buddies_ .

@andrewcharles459 Год назад

@@SYLTales It's funny you mentioned Bosom Buddies. (I also watched it first time 'round - if nothing else was on). When Tom Hanks started doing movies, I was actually amazed that he could really act. But yes, he is a sort of modern Jimmy Stewart - the guy everyone wishes was their dad.

@oliverbrownlow5615 Год назад

Jimmy Stewart appeared in five musicals. One of his earliest appearances was in a non-singing role in the Jeanette MacDonald - Nelson Eddy operetta *Rose Marie* (1936). His very next role was in another musical, *Born to Dance* (1936). This time he did sing, introducing the Cole Porter standard, "Easy to Love." In 1941, he appeared in two more musicals, again in non-singing roles: *Pot O' Gold,* and *Ziegfeld Girl,* and in 1954 he played big band leader Glen Miller in *The Glen Miller Story.*

I watch this one every Christmas time. I find Clara a little hard to like, too, and I was always wondering why he kept doing the things he did instead of just telling her the truth. But I’ve thought it over and I get it now. The things we find hard to like about Clara are the reason he did all those things. He had to come to terms with that fact that the woman he’d been fighting with was the woman whose true self he’d seen in those letters. But once he did that, he began to doubt that she’d find him as acceptable. After all, he’d nearly given up entirely before coming back. Suppose she walked off and never came back? And hadn’t she spent months tearing him a new one for everything from his looks to his mind to his job? He may have decided to look past her faults to see the person who wrote the letters but maybe she couldn’t. So when she made one last crack about his looks, just as he was about to tell her the truth, he chickened out and decided to make himself look a bit better by inventing Matthias Popkin… balding, short, fat, greedy, unoriginal Matthias Popkin. Once she thought she was being catfished before it was popular, by a guy who plagiarized in order to sound deep (which Kralik used to slyly confess that he’d ripped off a famous author or two), Kralik looked like a much better specimen.

Thank you so much for reacting to this. One of my two traditional Christmas watches.

@pencilpauli9442 Год назад

Think you would enjoy "The Bishop's Wife" with David Niven. Great Christmas movie.

@totallytomanimation Год назад

Yes, that is Jimmy Stewart, who also starred in "It's a Wonderful Life". He's in a lot of very good films - Try "Rear Window" or "Vertigo" both of these great Hitchcock films star Jimmy Stewart. As for another B&W film with Jim Stewart you'd LOVE... "Harvey".

@jimmywalker4884 Год назад

I totally agree with your comment about the 1920-1950 being in black and white in the real world, but I picture the old west 1860-1900 in color.

I saw this in a cinema in London tonight. Lovely film, with a dark edge XD

This story was remade several times, most famously as You've Got Mail (1998) starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Jimmy Stewart (Alfred Kralik) has been in many great movies, including After the Thin Man, You Can't Take It With You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Philadelphia Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Rope, Harvey, Rear Window, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, Anatomy of a Murder, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and How the West Was Won. Frank Morgan played Mr. Matuschek. You may have recognized him from The Wizard of Oz (in which he played several roles). That's movie I'd love for you to react to (assuming you haven't seen it). Bicarbonate of soda is just baking soda. It can be used as an antacid. Thanks for this reaction!

I recommended Philadelphia Story so she could see Grant and Hepburn too, but your suggestion of You Can't Take It With You is great. I'm not a fan of Capra's later movies, but I really liked YCTIWY...

@petequesada2936 Год назад

I was surprised to see you watch this movie. It has always been one of my favs. So happy you don't allow the lack of "color" keep you from enjoying gems.

I love how so many people love "You've Got Mail" but don't realize it's based on this movie...

@rumrunner5266 Год назад

A variation of this movie is 'You've Got Mail' (1998) with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan

@nolimitarcade2865 Месяц назад

This is a twist on "You've Got Mail."

@MFuria-os7ln Год назад

My favourite movieeeee!!! Actors,screenplay,and LUBITSCH!!!❤❤❤ I suggest you to watch two movies by the same director: "Cluny Brown"and "To be or not to be". I am sure you will love his sense of humour AND his deep intelligence.

@zaftra Год назад

Now you should do some silent films like' Sunrise (a song of two humans)', 'Pandoras box' or 'metropolis', 'Vampyr' is a good one to start with or the amazing 'Cabinet of Dr Calagari' (1920).

Jimmy Stewart It's A Wonderful Life. The store owner is The Wizard Of Oz.

@michaelsimpson6970 Год назад

I am glad you reacted to this! A great old Christmas movie!

@custardflan Год назад

I love that you're not afraid of old black and white movies. May I suggest The Best Years of Our Lives (`946), the best movie ever made about veterans returning from war.

@ronbock8291 Год назад

Wow. I feel like So few people know about this movie, even though You’ve Got Mail is based on it. It’s my second favourite Christmas movie, bested only by Scrooge starring your countryman Alaistair Sim. It’s also one of the very best romantic comedies ever made, IMO. It was directed by the celebrated Ernst Lubitsch, whose films were said to have ‘the Lubitsch touch’, the gentle, witty comedic flair based on real humanity. The scene where Mr Matsuchek goes off to treat young Rudy to a Christmas feast is perfection. I can’t remember if you’ve seen The Wizard of Oz, but Mr Matsuchek is played by the wizard himself, Frank Morgan. Another fantastic black and white classic romantic comedy that I know you will love is The More the Merrier from 1943, starring Jean Arthur and Joel McRae. Its not a Christmas movie, but it features the steamiest scene in Hays Code Hollywood history.

@joelwillems4081 Год назад

Wow! Few people ever know this one. Unless they are 70 years old or so. I don't think it's ever been put into a high quality print but I have a good quality of it myself. It's short, sweet and very character driven.

@robertwiegman1 Год назад

Great review!!! The Apartment you'll enjoy too. Set at Christmas and New Year, same with Bachelor Mother.

@-R.Gray- Год назад

For A classic movie you haven't reacted to, there is The Wizard Of Oz - and the boss in this film also plays an important part in that one.

Just one? 😁

I watch this every year at Christmas without fail.. Although It is hard to understand his attraction to her with how she treats him, those must have been some letters from her..

@flarrfan Год назад

Not a Xmas movie, but a lot of fun and three great stars, Cary Grant, James Stewart and Kate Hepburn...one of the great B/Ws, The Philadelphia Story. Think about it for next year! ETA reading the rest of the comments, so many great suggestions! James Stewart was an iconic actor for my generation and a couple of others.

@HuntingViolets Год назад

This was a sweet reaction. I love your little Santa hat too.

@Captally Год назад

Reactions to proper films, superb!

@johnmavroudis2054 Год назад

One of my all-time faves. Jimmy Stewart is great, as is the rest of the cast. You should check out “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”! Another Jimmy Stewart classic! …and for more intense b/w drama: “The Manchurian Candidate” and “Seven Days In May.” Cheers!

@mwflanagan1 Год назад

Such a sweet film. I watch it every year. Glad to see you enjoying classics. Thanks, Dawn./ / / / / / / / / I just watched this reaction again. I think it might be your best reaction. It wasn’t the funniest, but you experienced all the sweet emotions appropriate to the film.

@charlesspringer4709 Год назад

You've got mail. I remember being quite disapointed going to a theater to see "You've Got Mail" and realizing early on it was "The Shop Around the Corner" with AOL EMail instead of a postal service. Hollywood does this too often. Steve Martin did it with "Roxanne" which was a bad remake of "Cyrano De Bergerac" and he did it with "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" which is an inferior remake of "Bedtime Story" with David Niven and Marlon Brando. The Steve Martin version has an different ending and it just lets the air out of the whole idea.

@jean-paulaudette9246 Год назад

Never heard of this one, that I recall, but the tone of it reminds me of the '90s film, "Empire Records" -- with the ensemble cast, and extended family in the shop and all. I wonder if it was the inspiration for that one.

@uncleh5460 Год назад

The store owner played the wizard in "Wizard of Oz"

@sansabark Год назад

A little known Christmas movie you might like is Remember the Night with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck.

@danielg6566 Год назад

The Shop Around the Corner is such a cute movie. What you might consider watching are some other movies based on this one - such as You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. There's also a Hindi movie based on this one called Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge (it's most in English + subtitled). I recommend both movies anytime you might get a chance to watch them.
