Unwed Mother (1959) | Full Movie | Robert Vaughn 

I enjoyed this movie very much. I'm glad I watched it. The old movies are so good.

Greetings from The UK! What a great film. Thank you! Robert Vaughn played the role of a love rat, really well and all the actors were excellent! xxxxx

Mrs Horton is played by Jeanne Cooper who play Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless.

I was adopted too, and my biological mum spent some time in a home for unwed mothers too!

The scene with the abortionist & his so-called nurse reminded me of a scene in "Love with the Proper Stranger," starring Natalie Wood & Steve McQueen, another amazing movie.

She neeed to give him the" Boot"‼️ This story is so real.😥

Oh my, I cried through the whole movie. I know how it feels to lose an adult son and never see him again. It's an empty space that can never be filled.

Omg I knew Mrs Horton was Mrs Chancellor from Y & R as soon as I saw her eyes.. her voice wasnt so gravelly then. She was a legend in that soap..RIP Jeanne Cooper 🌟 Enjoyed the film 🍿🍿🍿½/5

The truth a mothers love is beyond understanding. God placed that in a healthy moms heart.

I WAS HOPING THE OLDER COUPLE WHO WERE GOING TO ADOPT THE BABY WOULD HAVE INVITED THE MOTHER TO THEIR HOME TO LIVE THEN THEY ALL COULD HAVE SHARED THE BABY. THAT JUST MIGHT HAVE WORKED OUT. THE YOUNG MOTHER WOULD HAVE HAD A HOME WITH A SORT OF A FAMIY TO HELP AND NURSE THE BABY. WELL THATS MY OPINION ANYWAY. THAT WOULD HAVE MADE A HAPPY ENDING.

Awesome movie! Thanks so much for sharing it!

What memories remember watching these movies even in the early 70s..

This same year, Robert Vaughn received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar Nomination for The Young Philadelphians opposite Paul Newman!

Robert Vaughan was a scoundrel in this movie, just a year before The Magnificent Seven, times have certainly changed for women, this movie focused on unwed women and what they look like to society, that all changed in the next few decades.….now women can apply for welfare and low income housing. Thanks for the download…….

31:31 the theatre sign says Joel McCrea in The Tall Stranger. That was a western movie that came out in 1957😊

Robert Vaughn was such A snake in t his movie! He's such A good actor that he plays his character so hard hearted.

Actually finding the way RV is touching her up at the beginning of this movie very uneasy, but it is very realistic and only in the last decade have women grown wise to this kind of a situation.

Thank you for the great movie. ❤

Keep your baby ,this was a sad but a happy ending at the same time I cried what a good movie

What a world; WHAT a world....

Beautiful movie. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂

Adoption is difficult for the birthmother, the child, and the adoptive parent - an imperfect solution to the problem of unwed pregnancy.

Excellent movie 🎥. Seems like heavy subject matter as I was born in 1959 and for years people slept in separate beds and single mother pregnancy was never discussed. I feel so sad for this girl and the mental anguish she must have endured. This character in the movie is a piece of work. Such a con man and the lives he is ruining. 😮

Betty and the baby should have moved in with the older couple.

WONDERFUL, I KEPT THINKING HOW THIS YOUNG LADY REMINDED OF MERYL STREEP. THANK YOU.

That was dumb of her to give him her paychecks.

The couple could adopt an older child .

I really thought this would end badly but I was pleasantly wrong. Glad I watched till the end. Great movie. ❤❤❤

I'm an old movie buff and had never seen or heard of this movie before. The out of wedlock pregnancy situation depicted seemingly has become the societal norm & quite prevalent these days in the U.S. I'm so thankful Norma chose the route she did in the end, and that she came to her senses when she got out of the office of the abortionist & realized she'd be taking an actual life, the easy way out; love how she took responsibilities for her actions. However, what I didn't like is that she was charged with a crime she didn't even commit. Accessory? Norma didn't seem to know he was going to actually rob the theater, but the serious trouble she found herself in proved to be her much needed wakeup call. She was a very naive, gullible, "wet behind the ears" girl, who Robert Vaughn's character repeatedly took advantage of. What a great movie! Thanks for sharing it!

It was also wonderful that Mrs . Horton, after her own sad experience had the goodness to look after these Young unfortunate girls.

Things were different in those days. Life is always a better choice.

Splendid movie! Where’s part two!?

I love the background music in the old movie.

... the male lead here covers all the true creep bases.

Robert Vaughn always gave me the creeps I don't know why. Even when he was in The Man From Uncle.

From dept. store employee to secret agent, not bad Napoleon Solo !!

Wow look at the times a pregnant woman smoking.......practically unheard of these days

Not only is this a wonderfully cheesy film, but perhaps should be viewed by young women of today as a warning against sleazeballs like the main character as well as memorial to the hardships thrust upon women in such situations in 'the bad old days.' There are many hard at work right now at efforts to return to such.

Good movie!

thank you TSV , cheers from Italy,,robert!

A shame the ending was not portrayed as a loving beginning with the couple taking in Betty and Roger to fill their hearts with a daughter and grandson allowing them stability as well.

I felt sad for the potential adoptive parents, the mom got attached and now she will live without the baby she got her hopes up for.

Loved this movie.

What a great movie!!

great to see my old co-star Jeanne Cooper in this! :) The movie was better than I expected... (expected it to be cheesey with the title)

great movie

The last sentence made me cry

Great plot..

Had such a crush on RV! In this movie smooth as a snake.

This seemed a very effective screenplay.

This guy is a winner! To me he’s not more then a criminal.

I ❤Classic movies 🎥 when is well produced, with good actors

Love the old black and whites!

That Robert Vaughn sure played a creep!

While most people can recognize Robert Vaughn (The Man from UNCLE) and a young Jeanne Cooper (The Young and the Restless), most cannot recognize Timothy Carey as the abortion doctor, Dorothy Adams as half of the older couple who initially adopt the child, nor Norma Moore as the unwed mother who, barely, regains custody of her child. She was Mary Piersall in Fear Strikes Out opposite Anthony Perkins, which I will always identify her with, as she was impressive in my mind. As for the film, not a bad B-movie. Thanks for posting.

Robert Vaughn was a very believable louse, his character got under my skin.

Very sensitive subject😔glad for the ending🙏

Quite enjoyed this, Robert Vaughn excellent as the cad and petty criminal. Found it odd that the probation officer said he could keep Vaughn's character out of jail if he would marry Betty. Doubt they would have had the authority to make two people get married. Wasn't that abortion doctor creepy looking ? He was like something out of a horror movie. Not a bad B movie at all.

Wow Jeanne Cooper, the matriarch from the young and the restless!

Morality movie. Message: Don’t be this girl.

That home for unwed mothers looked like a sorority house.

The opening song mentions making "love" by the Rowan tree. Rowan is a Wiccan or Druidic reference to the Rabbit as symbolic of spring & indiscriminate play of lust & rampant sexual intercourse. .

I love her comment leaving the back door abortionist... “ it’s not mine to kill”!! As she ran out!! It made me cry so hard for all the women that have made that choice to get rid of their baby, and so many have such deep regrets. It breaks my heart for them

Joint custody would have been the best solution. Betty could have moved in with the Paulley's and create their own family with Betty's mom included in the group. When Roger is grown up if he wants to he could meet his biological father, too.

Vaughn looks like Edgar Allen Poe. Gerdy was in Home Alone.

I'm pretty sure the woman in the jail scene at 33:25 who says "I hear you're related to practically everybody..." is Mona McKinnon from "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

If she changed her mind about giving away her baby, they had no right to give it away without her permission.

The Last Supper picture is on the wall in Mrs. Hortons office.

Robert Vaughn, is creepy and a low life in this movie!

"Nothing so bad it couldn't be worse."

I don’t think keeping children was always the best choice, though the emotional effect of giving a child up seems to make people disrespect this.

The tv series Long Lost Families is one to watch is this subject is of interest.

My husband’s parents lost their only boy at the age of 37 to brain cancer. What he died we had only been married for 10 years and 2 months. I was barely 30 years old and was left without a husband and 3 children. A girl 9 years old, another girl 6 years old and a boy 4 years old. I’m 78 years old now. I never remarried and I live with my oldest daughter and her husband. 10 years ago I lost most of my tongue to tongue cancer. In a 10 hour surgery they removed the cancerous area and took skin off my left wrist and fashioned me a kind of a tongue. Due to radiation treatments I don’t have any teeth and my food has to be blended or soft enough that I only have to swallow, rather than chew it. I’m fortunate. Not too many years ago I’d have already been dead. Cancer is a mean disease and it doesn’t care who it strikes. Smoking cigarettes 🚬 killed my sister at a young age with lung cancer.

This movie should be a lesson to women.

This movie was in the 40's

"Cheer up honey. Nothing so bad it couldn't be worse."

I loved when the priest said “LOVE is never wrong “ “My son, Everything happens for your BEST interest “...A Course in Miracles

Vaughn, a true slime/weasel. 36.18>Veteran character actor Ken Lynch.47:02>Who else but the great Timothy Carey to play a butcher?

Mr. Bigalo....that's got TO BE play on words..giggalo

It’s not mine to kill. Great Quote and true! Life belongs to God!

Don is one player!

The Casanova Complex.

24 year old robert vaughn,,wow,,,,,

He had the audacity to be smug when he knew he had no other choice but to marry her. I am glad she left him to his prison sentence!

IS THIS INDICATIVE OF OUR TIMES IN 2023? THE DEBATE BETWEEN THE YOUNG MUMS IS A RELEVANT FACTOR AND VARIABLE IN ASSESSING WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG. IT REST WITH THE PARENTS' CONSCIENCE TO KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Important topic. Yet, Robert Vaughn's creepiness and Norma's lack of insight is probably why IMDb rated it a 5.o out of 10.

First, this chick is way too naive. Second, I understand, not wanting to get an abortion, especially back then, because it was super dangerous. Third, this movie reminds me of Two a Penny without Cliff Richard’s gorgeous accent and voice.

My heart broke for the adoptive parents. Because i know the same scenario happens still..but to give up your own child would be a very difficult thing to do. These days girls are having babies out of wedlock,4&5 dif baby daddies ,living off the taxpayer ,and some turn out to be really crappy mothers .ive noticed a lot of children being hurt and murdered lately in the news and its just awful to see. The surrender boxes are a great thing they have going, there just need to be more of them.maybe there would be babies who have an opportunity to grow up.

👍👏👏👏👏❤️

... the price of love ... for me Radu , Paul , Bogdan ... 💜

I recognize Karen from a different movie 🎥 I hope she has better luck 🍀 in the next one. 😊😊😊😊

Perhaps if I had seen a preview of my younger self, I could have avoided some of my choices. Young women still believe in fairytales.

If I were Norma I’d track down that worm, Bigelow and tell him ‘You still owe me $200!’

Robert Vaughn gave me the most uncomfortable feeling. Like ICK

Is this "Diana Darrin" Deanna Durbin? Deanna Durbin worked with Judy Garland as a very young girl.

Great movie! There’s nothing wrong with adoption either, whatever is best for the mother and the baby. That older couple should adopt an older child. Funny, though, in this movie, how all the women go right back to a tiny waist after having their babies!

The extreme patriarchal society a woman had to go through. Every minute of this movie screams men in control of women.

Why do the writers cast the men in such a contemptuous light towards women back then? Movie after movie the way its written with pure disgust in their voice when they speak to women.

Anyone look less like a sex symbol than Robert Vaughan ??😂

Wow... how does one begin to parse this movie? Do we read it as a Sirkian comment on American society? A gangster Noir? A "women's picture" weepie? A "scared straight" film to be exhibited to teenaged girls? A "women in prison" movie, replete with all that that implies...?
