Lilian Gish was 93 when she played this role. Bette Davis was 78.
This is a bitter sweet movie for me because I lost my big sister many many years ago. We use to talk how we would be two old ladies sitting on the porch in rocking chairs. Now I'm old and everyone in my family has passed on and there is no one to sit on the porch with me. Every now and then I talk to my sister and tell her "I'll see you one day again."
Thank you for posting this movie. 🙂
I know how you feel. 🥺
I have no doubt you will see her again… and you’ll have eternity to enjoy each other’s company. The blessing that comes from loving someone and enduring this life.
That is sweet
Good to see two great actresses, ageing gracefully, & looking their age and not Botox & filler ruining their looks we all grow old and it’s healthy to embrace it, growing old is a gift that only some can appreciate.
I loved to see people just chilling and having "a cup of tea"😊
This very meaningful movie (for various reasons) made in 1987 and to think that Bette Davis passed two years later (age 81) shows her tremendous acting abilities. I read her authobiography and she is my favourite actress ever. Her last movie was Wicked Stepmother in 1989 working to the very end of her life. Lillia Gish lived a long life to 99 years of age passing in 1993 the same year as Vincent Price. The Whales of August was the last movie she acted in. Thank you very much for uploading the movie !!
What a perfect gem of a movie, thank you so much. I thought Lilian Gish was brilliant, utterly convincing. The whole picture is a work of art, so very atmospheric, reminded me of summer holidays on Cape Cod.
I loved this movie but then I'm 85 years old and my sister is 86 years old. I've lived 23 years beside Nisswa Lake with a picture window and my sons loved to fish. With the rush rush of daily living the slowing up of age is comforting.
I'm 46 and also loved this movie. Sweet times.
Lillian Gish was a beautiful talented actress ,,,,,,she was brilliant ♥️
What this film thought me is that we have lost those beautiful manners, the importance and dignity we used to give to little events, little ceremonies of life, which ask for energy and care: lunches, evenings out, anniversaries. Him coming in a suit with flowers, Sarah remembering the anniversary of her marriage... Memories...
Agreed! And the ladies bringing out their fine clothing for those special occasions. Despite age, they still took time to look feminine
This is a feel good movie.The manners, the views of the ocean, all the old fashioned furnishings and traditions.
Peaceful, melancholic, gentle (I'm 81). Made all the more wistful by the cast.
Lillian was 93! Love to know her secret.
No bangs, no shoot ups no truth-twisting. What a change.
Lillian Gish never lost her elegance or her grace.
These iconic actors were already ancient relics when I was just a child. Now, I'm 75 years old watching myself in them as I too begin to fade away. What a good movie .. leaves me to 'think on these things' 🕊
yes
I too feel this way, more and more every day. Not sure how I like it! What I do love about this film is that it reminds me of my aunties! They were lovely women, of that generation.
well I'm 30 now and a new mom but I keep wondering how does it feel when one approaches that age when we have to face the inevitable...when my mom and dad would be long gone and I'll not have any old tree for shelter rather will be an old tree which will be expected to provide shelter...I keep on having panic attacks imagining my end but I just can't imagine how it'll be...
Ancient relics is not a nice way to refer to them..surely you could have found a less harsh description
I do enjoy movies featuring older people it gives a completely different vibe than most of the modern movies. So wonderful to see Vincent Price again.
how relations have changed. Imagine, having a disagreement without yelling or name calling. Getting your point across and letting go of the hurt in the same moment. If only everyone was so honest, empathetic and mindful enough to not only read a room but not be offended by it. If only more people admired and perfected these skills. Emotional intelligence.

I've lost one sister. She doesn't want me in her life anymore. I miss her so. But my other sister is with me. Im grateful she's in my life. ❤ thank you for this !
Same. I do y really miss the one who decided she hated us all including her own daughter.
Same. She hasn’t spoken to any of us for about five years now. I miss my little sister. 😔
I lost 1 sister to cancer and one that just doesn’t like me.Never did anything to make her feel that way.But I am thankful I still have my youngest sister.We are close.We are both in our 50’s.
Oh my heart goes out to you, I know how hard this is!!@@sharong8511
Pray…. It works
All my sisters are gone to be with the Father But it was so good having them in my life
Hugs
💜
That was sweetly said💕
You are very sweet not all sisters are like you.😊
God bless you!@@lunakat7020
These dear elderly actors had still got it.👏
I love Bet Davis and I recorded this film on VHS in 1993 it's one of my favourite films I have it on Dvd now it's a beautiful film with the great Lillian Gish and Vincent Price.
Thanks for showing this I hope people who watch it enjoy every minute of the film
Such a treat. Transported me to another world. Great to see these iconic actors in their later years. Thank you!
This is such a beautiful film, you forget that you are watching people who were truly screen legends. Bette Davis, Lillian Gish, Vincent Price, and Ann Southern and Harry Carey Jr. They are all just marvelous and this wonderful story is truly worth the watching.
Love Bette Davis the actress such an extraordinary career she has had
Two wonderful acctresses. Lillian Gish must have been 94 when she acted this. Amazing!
What a beautiful, understated film this is, so simple but encapsulate so much about a life time. At first I was like this film is just about nothing then it changed to being about everything. I love it, it actually makes me look forward to being old.
That was a most delightful movie. I’ve never seen this one with Betty Davis.
This is such a great movie, and I’m pretty sure it’s the last movie for both Betty Davis and Lillian Gish. For that matter it could’ve been for Ann southern and Vincent price too for all I know. My sister and I are pretty close but don’t live near each other. I hope when the time comes and we’re at that age, we could be together like this.
How about Harry Carey Jr. for added comic relief? Excellent cast & movie!
I didn't recognize Bette Davis at first but I did recognize her voice. Lovely story
Me too. I had to look up the cast. Such a wonderful film.
When you are old, really old, the only decent comfort is that which is found in fond memories. Some of my favorite players. It's refreshing to see them playing their age instead of having to use stage make-up. Bon voyage, 💋, one and all. As long as I am alive, I shall have fond memories too.
Age 81 # my memories are of much later date 20
A simple & pleasant movie about everyday life, not overly-dramatised, and quite a relief. Sweet, and even a touch of elegance every so often. So glad it was made and there ought to be more like these 💚💛💜🧡💙 The setting on the water is very serene and eloquent on the simplicity of natural life.
A very good friend of mine worked on this movie she told me how terrible Betty Davis was to Lillian she was very cruel to the lovely lady even though I know a lot of things about this movie I do love it still
Sometimes I wish I could project through the screen and sit down in their house and look at the pictures and all their nic ~nacs. Then wander around the garden smelling the flowers, and then go back in and have a nap. Great movie! Sad they are all gone now. ✌❤
That unmistakable voice of Betty Davis. 🥰. Sad and beautiful movie
Oh my goodness… such a treasure… thank you… the actors, the feel, the cinematography ahhh to sit on that porch ❤
They don't make movie's like that anymore the old ones are the best. Beautiful scenery great acting.💐🌹👏
I don't why iam crying, I really envy these two ladies. Iam just 20 odd minutes into this movie, and it is wonderful. Thank you for uploading it.
Charming movie reminds me of my grandma Jackson and her mulberry tree her garden was her pride and joy
I am lucky to have sisters and brothers and though we live on 3 different continents, we keep in touch very regularly. I cannot imagine myself without them
What a cast, and Vincent Price fishing in a bow tie.!😂
Beautiful film about family, memories, faithfulness and love - and about old age, which gives them all their real value...
Thanks for these old movies which reserve our old happy time and our beautiful past that we could forget as time goes by!
A adorable heart warming classic movie. My how times have changed,most now don't enjoy their time with leisure and laughter. Beautiful ole cottage home by shore. Thank you for sharing...
Gotta love the cast on this movie. A great story and a feeling of commitment
A great movie to me now that I am 71.
Lillian Gish brilliant actress
What s WONDERFUL story♥️♥️♥️♥️!!. I never missed a Betty Davis movie and must watch. I am so lucky to find this movie and couldn't her at old age. she still acted superb 👍♥️. She is my number favourite actress of all time
Lillian Gish, Bette Davis and Vincent Price! Omg!
I am 71 years old and this is my first time seeing a Lillian Gish movie… What a joy!
Looking at her pictures as a young woman, she was absolutely adorable, just as she is adorable in this film!
Thank you TH-cam for making this available❤
2 amazing ladies! Amongst the best actors ever!
Truly a memorable movie. Very special actors.❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love Bet Davis, this was one of her last films with the great Lillian Gish and Vincent Price. Bet Davis was a wonderful actress they dont make them like Bet Davis anymore she was so truthful maybe my wife was one of the last 😂
I have this film on dvd i taped it on VHS in 1994.
Please watch this film its touching its about old age and how we handle it . Some wait for it others just keep going to the END i am the latter 😂 i still have 40 years left ❤.....i hope 😅
🔥🔥🆙️
This movie is from 1987. Bette Davis 1908-1989. Lilian Gish 1893-1993. Vincent Price 1911-1993.
So a beautiful and gentle film...Truly a delight for the soul!
Life become harder as I aged, therefore, like the sisters, I reminisce about life and the bygone days.
I saw this movie back in the day when it came out mostly because I was a fan of old movies and their stars ever since I was a kid. Now I am an adult I can understand it and relate more to the characters.
So,lovely to see these great actors,Lillian Gish,the great Black&White movie actor and BettyDavis&the great Vincent Price act out a gentle,story of memories and old age…I lost my husband 8 months ago..and I understand the loneliness even though I’m some years younger than them ♥️🇨🇦
I'm so sorry.
Wow, what's of the past , Vincent Price, Betty Davis and Gish, 🥰
This is an amazing and wonderful picture. Bette Davis and Lillian Gish are excellent.
Thank you for uploading this beautiful film. I enjoyed it immensely. The feel of times past with the quiteness and respect the characters have for one another even when there is tension. Also the unforgettable Vincent Price character who was the "the last person in the world to bow" was wonderful. ❤
John McCormack singing "Roses of Picardy"......beautiful!!
Thank you for this fact, I have watched this movie 75 times and I was always stumped about that....

Oh thanks so much for uploading this film. 🙏 I really enjoyed it. Two legends of the silver screen, Lillian Gish and Bette Davies. ❤❤
this was a wonderful movie. well written and MEANINGFUL. I enjoyed it more and more as it went on. this old lady loved it
Did they ever mention what happened to the 3rd sister, Tisha? I missed the details on it, I guess she had already passed away?
A great find! A gem!
A must see movie with great actors including the legendary beautiful,talented and lively Bette Davis, in contrast a beautiful , sweet and serene Lilian Gish and a handsome and suave Vincent Price.
The story is about simple folk and is set among the rocks overlooking the placid sea .
There is a beautiful calmness that continues throughout making this film timeless .
Most enjoyable 🙏🏻
An absolute film treasure! One of my favorites 😍 Thank you for uploading!
The ónly honest thing in life is...We all die someday...Beautiful movie thank you
Life makes its 'imprint' on all of us; and then just as quickly, we are ushered away....
So glad this came up in my recommends. Such wonderful acting and beautiful snapshot of days gone by and sisterly love.
no adds now and a delightful,slow and gentle film.
Lovely movie. I could live in that house forever.❤

👑 Charles ( & Princess Diana ) arrive to the film premier of "The Whales of August" at Cannes Film Festival 1987.
Before the movie began, met with some of the film’s stars, Bette Davis and Lillian Gish.
This picture always makes me love my sisters even more; as if it was possible, ...indeed.
I've never seen this movie until today, I will try to add it to my Betty Davis collection.
What an allegorical film this is! Sarah and Libby time and again prove that the there is nothing to fear when we are alone👍
A nice story of two elder sisters walking out the latter years of their life together. A very pleasant movie.
Extraordinary movie. One of my favorites and thank you for bringing it to the forefront.
One of my favourite movies of all time
Oh that's Vincent price, I watched his movie when I was a kid, now I'm 56 good movie.
Beautiful and very touching movie Thank you and God bless you ❤
Two grand ladies of the cinema!
Ghastly Realtors, Politicians, Bankers & Car Salesmen make my skin crawl. Thanks for the movie.
I loved both Bette Davis and Lillian Gish, Lillian Gish was also excellent in " The Night of the Hunter" with Robert Mitchum.
@compsciguy Yes, that is the one! Robert Mitchum played that role so good
Through the gloomy silence and the falling snow
Comes a plaintive echo from long ago; “wait for me” it’s calling in a childish tone.
And I slack my footsteps till they match her own.
Life brings many changes with the passing years
Sunny days and shadows;joys and bitter tears,
And my cry goes wringing forth to Heavens gate,
“Wait for me, dear sister, just a little, wait”
“Reverse”- by Isobel Anderson. Written for her sisters.
💜
Thank you. This is lovely.
Wish I had a closeness with my sister like this, seen as we buried our other sister earlier this year😢
I like that idea. Red and white Roses. AND I thought yellow for friendship. But realized passion and truth so true all you need. For all aspects of life and spirit.
You are astute and Kind
Keep a spirit to share with all.
Ann Sothern was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar Nomination for this film. She should have won.
Harry Carey Jr. and Vincent Price are great actors too.
I adore Ann Sothern!
Reminds me of my Aunt's old cottage in Enfield. Long gone.
I have a sister who is 11 months younger we are close, I have a younger sister who doesnt talk to me I wish had a relationship before time slips away..❤
I have a younger sister and she don’t want me in her life anymore. Is painful 😣
Same here..
What a lovely picture. Thanks for posting.
LOVELY, REFRESHING MOVIE. WISH I COULD WATCH MORE LIKE THIS ONE. LOVE THE LOCATION SO VERY PRETTY.

Really nice film. Our relationships with family or good friends are what we are.❤
This is a beautiful film. Thank you so much for sharing it.
This house is in my dreams. The blueberry bushes, the fishing and crabbing. Watching whales.
Over the years, Vincent Price has grown on me. I like him in this movie. Great to see Gish and Davis also.
What a wonderful film & Betty Davis was just as radiant as in her early career.
