- Henry Wood (James Dunn) and man loved and respected by his community has passed away. He was a hard-working, unassuming man, and it isn't until his passing that his children and the community realize what a treasure of a human being he was. A heartwarming tale, produced by the Protestant Film Commission. Jack Larson, best known as TV's Jimmy Olsen on "The Adventures of Superman," guest stars as Henry's son.
What a beautiful, wholesome film of faith and morality! Praise be Jesus!
This seems to be a picture of Spirituality and wholesomeness,...being a devoted Catholic myself,....I can appreciate it a lot........specially today when a lot of people have turned against .........BELIEVING.
Armando, Catholics are not christians. What I mean is, not Bible christians.
@@auletjohnast03638 Catholics are not Protestants but some Catholics are Christians.
You are not alone be blessed with God, stay safe my friend
@@auletjohnast03638 Attention all dummies and morons if you pray to Jesus your a Christian okay.
@@auletjohnast03638 Of course Catholics are Christians. We were the first Christians, all other Christian sects broke off of the Catholic Church, including pro-test-ants
Thank you. Never heard of this movie.
A lovely gentle film from days gone by with a very strong message!
was looking for its a wonderful life, this is great too. thanks for uploading!!
Thought it was the movie It's a wonderful life,
But stayed for the show anyway without popcorn, a good movie , and worth the trip.
Wow! Mr Wood prayed his prayer of thanksgiving in the name of Jesus!
And the pastor didn't. That's odd.
Yes don’t hear that in movies or in public general prayers. There was respect for the Lord God then.
No one cares what religion you practice at home. Only when you try and push it on everyone else in public.
YES! I was thrilled to hear that too!
And earlier in the movie the pastor said that Henry Wood didn't consider himself an especially "religious" man and yet his beautiful prayer in the NAME of the JESUS indicates otherwise.
It was a wonderful story. I loved it. Thank you for making it available. I just stumbled across it after watching
one of the videos of Jack Larson being interviewed, not that long ago. Thank you again.
What a wonderful drama love these , about life old dramas ,thank you for al you put into gathering,up dramas uploading and posting , just for thousands and thousands of people you don’t even no , but please reassure you bring a lot of joy , peace of mind ,laughs and that’s not to easy to do these days , and so much more , I want to thank you from all of those who forgot,GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ,from Canada , p.E.I.
Some years ago I was driving to Los Angeles from San Diego, and listening to NPR. The host of the show said that he would be interviewing librettist, Jack Larson. I said to myself, the only Jack Larson I know of (besides the textile designer and interior designer Jack Lenor Larson) was the actor who portrayed Jimmy Olsen on the old Superman TV show. This couldn't possibly be the same Jack Larson. Then "Jack Larson" began to speak, and it was the unmistakable voice of Jimmy Olsen. Finally, at the end of the show, the host mentioned that people probably knew Jack Larson best as an actor on the old Superman show. It turned out that Larson had given up acting and went into writing libretti for various composers, among them Virgil Thomson.
thanks for sharing that anecdote. Virgil Thompson was a unique fella.
Very cool
l loved James Dunn. He was wonderful in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and like his beloved character Johnny Nolan, he passed away too young and tragically, also. Thank you for honoring his memory.
I loved a tree grows in Brooklyn!! I think I'll TH-cam it after I watch this
@@jacquelynejohnson9127 I love the movie too and have it on dvd. I also have the book, which contains so much more of the background to the story.
I've loved James Dunn since viewing his early movies from the 1930's. There are many times I escaped watching early black and white films to cope with family problems, no matter how many long hours I worked, I always stayed up late to watch old black and white, long before the internet was created. Finding out that James Dunn battled with Alcohol, was unfortunate, as I tried to escape the dysfunctional mess my stepfather's drinking did to hurt my siblings and my mother. May those men and women, who have passed on , RIP .
Sweet movie and good message. Thanks
I absolutely love James Dunn amazing actor , his voice is unforgettable ., these are the old times of the greatest actors ever .❤️🙏🇨🇦
James Dunn, Exceptional Actor and a favorite! Ty for posting. 🎬
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL AND GETS MORE BEAUTIFUL AT CHRISTMAS 🎄💖💖🐈❣️❤️😻🎄🐈💓
Ana Marcaletty, How can it be wonderful with demoncrats👹 in control.
Great lesson, great actor James Dunn, thank you to share his movies!
I love James Dunn. I know him from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
Thank you for the interesting movie. Allene Roberts would reunite with Jack Larson on The Adventures of Superman in three episodes (2 in 1952, and 1 in 1954) on TV. Loved her in The Red House (1947). Had that pretty "girl-next-door" quality about her that I liked. James Dunn is best remembered for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and the three films he did with Shirley Temple in the 30's, including Bright Eyes, which introduced On the Good Ship Lollypop. Stand Up and Cheer, and Baby, Take a Bow being the other two. All three people mentioned were pretty good actors, and are greatly missed.
Thank you. It's a great and beautiful movie. I enjoy it.
How adorable this movie is! The good old days.
Great drama. Thank you for uploading ,God Bless you and your family 🙏🏽🇨🇦❤️. What a beautiful life's lesson ! Amazing film , please find moor like this thanks again !!
Henry is the man i wish i was.
I loved this movie. First time I've
seen this. I loved the ending.
His daughter understood. GLORY
BE tO GOD. AMEN. Please show more movie's like this one. Thank you.
It touched my heart, very deeply.
A short story about faith that I truly enjoyed.
That was wonderful. Thank you, James ❤️
I watched this to see Jimmy Olson.....
My biker foster dad told me It was his favorite movie. I watched it as a boy and now I show it to all the ladies I meet 😂works like a charm.
It’s a Wonderful Life Free 👍❤️
The message of this film no one seems to talk about, which foretells where and why America & the world is where it is today, begins at the 31:40 marker
This is the fist time I've ever seen Jack Larson playing a role other than Jimmy Olson in The Adventures of Superman on television (except for a cameo later in life in one of the Superman movies). If this film came out in 1950, it was before the Superman TV series debuted.
Rip Jack Larson 1928-2015

The old saying is true; "You won't miss your water until it's dry!"
Your Idea is great!................but the saying is................"You don't miss your water until the well runs dry".......I could be wrong...but that's what I've heard all my life.

Our country has demised so greatly in teaching children and people to be ashamed to be patriotic, to be ashamed of being of working hard, to be ashamed of just being an American ..,the disgrace of child trafficking and drugs pouring into this country is beyond anything could ever have imagined! Our children are our future. We’re not only need to love them, but protect them from the horrific evil that is being done to this country. ! we so need uplifting movies like this and we need to start believing in our faith in God ! this can be great country once again, and not just for ourselves, but to be able to help all countries all over the world! Beautiful movie!!!❤ so let’s all stand proud that we are Americans. Let’s stand tall and start fighting back so we can keep this great country, strong.
And let’s fight for our freedom❤
Enjoyed this a great deal.
Yes what a sweet gentle film.. with a wholesome Christ centered message...
Jack Larson would later appear with Allene Roberts in episodes of "The Adventures Of Superman."
Because of it's title and it's similar message I shared this to my new group page for the film It's A Wonderful Life and for one of it's surviving cast members. It is It's A Wonderful Life ~ The Karolyn Zuzu Grimes Fan Group. Yes, at 6 years old, she played Zuzu in that 1946 classic film. She's 80 now and a lovely lady. She's a member in the group too. Please check it out and join her and us there. God bless you. Bud Lehn
At 7 she played in the Bishop's wife too.
Thanks for sharing that
@@leeboatwright8262 Thanks.
Awesome
This character was very sefless! He put others before himself.
Allene Roberts was a dear friend of mine, and she so wanted to see this picture!
Such a pretty young woman. I remember seeing her first
in a couple of "Dragnets."
We're the most blessed people on earth in the U.S.,
and we probably do the most complaining!
Matthew 6:20-21 See also, "Reaching from Heaven,"
1948 with Hugh Beaumont
We do the most complaining. Sincerely, Polish people. ;)
@@tigartsy Well, okay, but maybe you folks have more genuine things to complain about !🇬🇮
@@tebelshaw9486 Maybe that's true.
BTW There were studies done about complaining in different countries, and you folks are the least complaining nation.
@@tigartsy I also understand that places like Denmark are the happiest, because their expectations are lower!
@@tebelshaw9486 Or maybe it's all about culture. For example you come as the least complaining people in studies/polls, because of your attitude towards life. The typical american answer to "How are you?" is "Great!" instead of "OMG. Terrible. FML." ;)
16:15 Driving ain't natural! It turns us all into crazy people!
Love James Dunn
Awesome channel thank you
Great name, James Dunn. I like that name.
This part of the movie really struck a chord within me . I even related it to some of the problems now in our Universities .🕵🏻♂️❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼👍🏼🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏
Birthed into the afterlife will reflect what we do in this life. We will reap what we sow.
“Everyone must die once, and after that be judged by YHWH. In the same manner our Hebrew Messiah also was offered in sacrifice once to take away the sins of many. He will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are waiting for Him.”
Hebrews 9:27-28
Arthur Shield's brother was the great Barry Fitzgerald. They looked so much alike.

Jack Larson and Allene Roberts would both appear in the Adventures of Superman episode The Haunted Lighthouse just a year later than this movie.
Charming
WOW!!
Wow. has america changed. I was 9 when this film was made. I watched the destruction of the core of the America Culture and the perpetrators of its end. It was slow death like the boiling frog. It began with LBJ..........
American culture changed in he 60's. True. But LBJ's "Great Society" was only a part of the change. Vietnam and the British musical invasion led by The Beatles were a part of that change. Moreover, America was never like this film, more like it than than it is today or in the 60's and 70's, etc. This film represents what we'd like to be, an idealized version. Great film though; I love it and like the values presented here.
erdingtown it began when JFK taken out. Many of those beaurocrats and politicians are still alive. Damn mob is what career politicians are.
@@cindydufala7646 ,
Progressivism reared its ugly head in the late 1800s. All governments go through growing pains with ups and downs.
Some feel the most pivotal year was 1913-1914, when the federal reserve got its strangle hold on the monetary system. World war II sent boys to all corners of the world and farming and a local community lost its luster when they came back home. Women were put in factories to work like never before. WW I was a nail in the family coffin and WW II cinched it. Even with the baby boomers on the way, societies degradation from wholesome family values was well on its way. The government in the sixties was behind the drugs , sex and rock n roll culture furthering the decay. Legalized abortion solidified the moral decay. 1945- 1963 were the best times that the nation as a whole appeared to benefit from. . Each decade since the Civil war has contributed in some ways to the decay of America. There have been some positive strides but not enough to keep the glue of a healthy society in place.
Beth Elle greed is the root of all evil. Causes trouble, and every war. Lust and slavery is a form of greed. 10 Commandments such simple society guidelines. Peace to all.
@@cindydufala7646 ,
Yes, the 'golden rules', really are just that. I know many today don't believe in a loving Creator and have made themselves their own gods in that manner of thinking. But Jesus Christ made it clear that if we put God first than others, then ourselves, society would benefit and flow. Rarely is that belief system followed. We are in a world of shallow morals and shallow thought processes. If people REALLY meditated on the principle of God first, then your fellow man, every step they take in a day would change the course of that day for the better for others as well as themselves. Even simple 'thank you's ', or 'have a nice day', seem to be out of the natural realm for many. Sad times are present but I believe that after a big ,'storm', better times are ahead because of a very necessary, Divine intervention!
Have a great day! 😀

THANK YOU PAPA GOD cause YOU can depend on ME! 🙏🙌💞
I always put myself before myself.
Other country maybe don't know how to calm them hair and brush them teeth but they never put dirty feet regardless with expensive shoes on 😁or "not shoes at all" like said in the movie, on the table at the lunch time for example. Obviously the ones who do have a tables🤐 maybe because they've been here little bit longer than USA... And it's wasn't t
USA who made first alphabet hah? .... 😁

Please don't be blaming people it's just an unfortunate event a misunderstanding no division no political nonsense it's about being a human being that's it - a wonderful life for me is watching somebody else's life and certainly not anything to do with myself - sir that's like holding hands it's unimaginable - with of course only my girlfriend or wifey that's it sir don't be offering that fish to everybody else and twisting things around that's Ronny swapping files and dirtying over the real analytics sir - let's just not get into it it's like hearing a broken record sir - just quit oozing goodness - my heart is smashed and broken that feeling just doesn't go away sir in fact it's been a long time and I'm broken hearted still and still and again and again and again and again sir chuck he's got the podcast the oath and he's fair and honest and refreshing sir - that's my peoples - those five officers could if taken two minute breaks and switched places with one another and reassessed the situation sir - of course you want to hear from the criminal and his excuses under the penalty of perjury sir - do the right thing - quit breaking my heart 🦄🤷♂️😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 that's the heartbroken emoji

Not to be confused by the James Stewart version
The James Stewart movie is "It's a Wonderful Life." This film is just entitled "A Wonderful Life."
39:25 JACK LARSON
3:00
like JimmyOlsen in superman
This is not the wonderful life that Jimmy steward was a star in. I never heard ir.
42:55, a great ending! From here, Mary gets to be treasurer and diverts funds into the Mary Needs a New Fur Coat and some Jewels to go with Her NEW CAR Fund. Great plot twist! I saw that wink from her.
God Guns America 🇺🇸 🙏
Why would you watch this. You can’t improve the original! 🤨
Why would a polio sufferer wear high heels trying to descend a flight of stairs? Oy vey.
lol
woke rubbish has ruined christmas! bring back the classics.
Later, The shoe factory went to India. The daughter was thrown out of the church for dipping into the Henry Fund. It was rumored that she had more shoes at the time of her disgrace, than Imelda Marcos. Junior Olsen, faired no better. He was killed robbing a liquor store in K.C..
Are you saying that things weren't always as perfect as portrayed in 1950s films of this type?
Chump. Word about town is about the guy who drives the old, old car will give you a lift and all his money if you give him a hard luck story. Henry Would give you a lift and you can take him for a ride. Yada, yada, yada. Give until you die before age of fifty.
Abundance in life means a long and healthy life with ample financial abundance to live well in the community that you live in.

I hated the 1950 trite and start of anti communist movies, and push for religion. Uggh too bad actors had to succumb to this trite to make a living.
I think you meant "this tripe", and I'm sorry for you. You need to study politics and to get to know God.
