I wasn’t born till 71 but I just love this era..There are two American actors I loved too watch growing up..One was called Kirk the other was Clint..It has been my life’s dream to visit your beautiful country but as yet I haven’t made it..Sending love to you all from Leeds England and thanks for this excellent movie 🎥 ❤
Hi Mick, so glad you love this movie and time in history. And thanks for your kind comments about our country. I've been to England several times and its the best!
Brilliant film that tugs at the heart strings. This was made in the days when plot and dialogue were valued, unlike many modern films in which the actors mumble through their unrealistic lines without any emotion or feeling. And so nice to see women who were naturally attractive, both in appearance and within themselves. No tattoos, no piercings, just plain old fashioned beauty. A film to be watched more than once.
A truly great film. I ate at the Albatross with two friends one evening. Sat at a table overlooking the ocean. The wait staff was excellent. We didn't have a lot of money so the waiter and kitchen staff improvised and bought us a grilled cheese sandwich we have never forgotten. It was served on an impressive long white dish. We also ordered three cokes, all of it for less than $6.00. It was 1966. I'd love to purchase one of the restuarant's menus issued in 1966. I keep looking at eBay. We have a postcard that features what the Albatross looked like in the 1960s. Kim Novak was so beautiful.
I enjoyed reading your comment and remembrances. I absolutely love this film and the beautiful music composed by George Duning. Yes, Kim Novak was beautiful and a wonderful actress. Thank you.
Another one with Kim , Ernie and Jimmy Stewart was Bell Book and Candle. The whole theme, cast and scenery, was something to watch over and over. Growing up in that time period brings back nostalgic memories of a great era.
I am definitely going to have to buy the Soundtrack to this wonderful movie, because the music is so dreamy, soothing and beautiful, and I Love it !!!❤😊
I remember being in my bed as a little girl when my parents were having a party. They had a hifi and played Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, Judy Garland, Andy Williams, and others. I remember hearing Sinatra singing this song.
This movie and the music takes me back to this time exactly in Southern California. A more innocent time if you can believe it! But, naïveté does not always define innocence. I remember my parents giving parties and inviting friends over. I remember this era of parents ( mine as well) growing up in the early 1960s. As a baby boomer we were all like this growing up listening to Sinatra, Mathis and I remember going to the supermarket with my mom to buy groceries. Oh my goodness I’m a sentimentalist.
@@GeneRogers-di6cl You couldn't have said it better!!! I am watching it quite often. Remembering the dinner parties dressing to the nines!!! Everything in that movie is what happened back then...❤️❤️❤️❤️...
i've seen it several times too, there's something about it... it feels like we're there watching it all happen in real time, the ambiance is superb and the acting feels natural. there's nothing like california in the golden days.
Love this movie, Kirk Douglas is magnetic, Kim Novak stunning, love the white dress and pale blue cardigan in final scenes. Let this movie be a warning...forbidden love is crushing.!!
Another movie with great acting all around, filled with adultry, deceit, heartbreak and agony.. nice encouragement to break up families and sadden God. Hellywood at it's finest.
@ Please don’t try and correct my spelling it is not important and irrelevant to the message I’m conveying. People speak in free style a lot nowadays on social media. So there’s no need to use up your time unnecessarily correcting everyone’s spelling. Thank you.
There will always be better looking women and men out there who may be more interesting and even kinder. But when you’re married you have promised to be faithful to your spouse and I personally believe that you must honor that promise, if not, you lose all dignity.
Kim Novak is such a beautiful actress just made for film. And her acting is fantastic in this film.... she adds such depth to what could have been a sleazy nympho type character. Actually this film is a good companion piece to Elizabeth Taylor's BUtterfield 8 released the same year.
The completed home in Bel Air was valued at $250,000 in 1960 when the film was released. Hollywood legend has it that the house was to be gifted to Kim Novak and the films director Richard Quine, who were engaged at the time. The relationship fell apart and the home was sold to someone else. The sold in 2013 for $4.1 million and is estimated to be worth over $9 million today. I think the real star of this film was the house.....just saying.
It, the house, is the only lasting thing about this piece of celluloid. Human emotions, dissatisfaction, “you deserve better”, once an unfailing formula for Hollowood. Their mantra? Let’s kick aside carefully though, every restraint to make ME so important.
That house has not a single feature that is beautiful. Like the false patina on this film…the partners are the villains, and our love supreme! Oh, wait! We must sacrifice the greater for the lessor…No wonder Hollowood has slowly lost its audience…Which is the greater, which is the lessor?
I love these movies of this era. Lots of duds in the 60s after this but also some great ones. I just wonder what attracts people though. I can't even get a text back.
You need better friends. Their behavior says more about THEM than it does YOU! RUDE people leave you on ‘read’ or not opened at all. If you want to work on your skills of attraction Joe Beam has a book called the Art of Falling In Love - There’s also lots of help on YT.
Sexual repression back then. Lots of movies had the same archetypes; the good girl, the girl next door, and the overtly sexual woman, the temptress. Seems like the temptress was always a blonde. Except for Doris Day who was blonde and I think always played the good girls.
Moral of the story: With the time and energy that relationships consume, you can build an entire city! Jus' Kiddin' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kim Novak left this movie like a boss lady! She was carrying so much emotion EVERY SINGLE SCENE of this movie and played her role sophisticated and understated. It is almost spiritual - as if she knows her destiny and accepts it in dignity! This is what charisma and class can do for an actress! She slyed and left me gaaaaged!
Wow. I am an old-movie buff from way back, and rarely expect this level of honesty even in a contemporary film, especially where society's business-as-usual pervs are concerned. But the '60s is where this sort of realism was finally starting to take shape.
This movie is about suburban life after the war when everyone wanted to live safe suburban lives. They started getting restless and questioning religion and the Pill was available a few years later so sexual experiences were possible for women like never before. Divorce happened more frequently. Setting the stage for the sexual revolution and the hippies. Where are we now? The internet and communicating with computers.Since the pandemic perhaps less human connection.
Ernie's two daughters also would lose their lives years later from being in a car crash; His daughter, Mia Kovacs, died at the age of 22 on May 8,1982. Mia also was on the verge of beginning her own career as an actress. Her sister, Kippie, died on July 28,2001 at the age of 52.
Wow, that theme music at 1:13 almost makes me cry, thinking about the good old days of being young and watching this with my mum, plus being reminded of that glorious era. Here in Australia, Channel 9 was the first tv station to go 24 hours, and this movie was played semi-regularly.
@@s.ebright7620 Of course he did. But she wasn't responding to his flirting and he didn't like it. He wanted a reaction, as all men do. Because, naturally, it's all about him.
Perfect portrayal of the double standards of the times. Kirk Douglas expects Kim Novak to pure as the driven snow as he cheats on his wife with her. Great architecture and cars.
Did you see the movie? In the movie Novak had cheated on her husband before. Remember she was getting phone calls from her previous affair. Yes, the movie portrayed her husband as not romantic and I agree with the movie. Of course as a baby boomer this was not necessarily so rare.
The movie opens in American small town / suburban utopia / nightmare. There isn't a fricking sidewalk anywhere. People and small kids have to walk on the roadway. And those fabulous cars with the huge rear wings! Of course -- no airbags, no safety belts, no headback support in the seats. Boy, oh boy, how we miss those nostalgic, wonderful days.
Truly the pains of a marriage, or any relationship, when 2 adults forget that the other is a human being with needs, wants, desires.... A great book to read is from Gary Chapman, the Five Love Languages.
Listen. When a man Stares and says, “you’re not so pretty “ you certainly are and everybody who is anybody has been saying so! He’s smitten and lady - here comes trouble and way too much fun. Gorgeous dialogue. Brilliant screenplay.
Had it been done earlier, Charlize Theron could have definitely, played Kim Novak in a Biography, they look so much alike. Kirk Douglas was so handsome, I can't stand it, loved him in all of his movies. I first remember Kim in the movie Picnic, she was a Bombshell, such a lady. Kirk and Kim were double trouble, as they would say back then, A PANIC 🥰
Not quite Sirk, but everything comes together, production wise, in this late-decade, mid-century-modern-marriage melodrama. George Duning was Columbia Pictures' resident composer for the studio's music director, Morris Stoloff, and his gift for melody is a real asset to this movie, just like it was for PICNIC. Domesticity is so last century, especially back when America was supposed to be great, and the concept of marriage and brats hasn't gained much momentum since then either, whether you're a man or a woman. People just continue to not admit it. The ending is absolutely terrific. Sadly, no soundtrack recording has ever existed.
I don't think that's what upset him...I was annoyed along with him that she took those sleeping pills. Well, maybe you're right and he cared that she wanted an affair with the boy, which is hypocritical. But I don't think he sought her out specifically for an affair, per se. I don't know. Man, Maggie's whole mentality was so screwy, though, the way she judged her mom for the same mistake of adultery she was actively committing. Except she used sleeping pills as an excuse...Weird
Maggie chose to escape from personal blame by hiding in sleep, pretending she didn't want the guy. Douglas was right in his assessment of her motives. She was a coward. But actually, there was probably more to his reaction than just that.
I haven't seen this movie in years. It's a beautiful film, so well done. As I watched this time almost immediately in that first scene with her husband, I thought, "He's gay." ?
In the book it talks of his childhood where his mother put it in his head that sex was shameful and dirty. The book ending was also different. The book has Larry getting killed in a car wreck while on his way home to tell (Kim) he was going to leave his wife and be with her. 😮
@@songbirdyThanks for sharing this thread of information. I didn’t know this was in a book. Strangely, it would be Ernie Kovacks who would die in a car crash as I recall .
The building site in ritzy Bel Air. Wow, a year later, remember that huge Bel Air fire when most of the residents had to evacuate from their homes? Including former Vice President Richar M. Nixon.
The end is heartbreaking, all because of Christianity insisting on monogamy. The Old Testament and even the early Christians practiced polygamy like Muslims do today. Polygamy is a panacea against promiscuity. Though this may come as a rude shock to many I hold monogamy as the leading cause of homosexuality nowadays.
It's always a dead end, with devastation no matter what choices are made. Trust is undermined, lives are changed, sometimes destroyed. It's the 7th commandment.

I haven't seen this movie in years. It's a beautiful film, so well done. As I watched this time almost immediately in that first scene with her husband, I thought, "He's gay." ?
Having an affair with another woman or man.
I thought the same thing!
In the book it talks of his childhood where his mother put it in his head that sex was shameful and dirty. The book ending was also different. The book has Larry getting killed in a car wreck while on his way home to tell (Kim) he was going to leave his wife and be with her. 😮
@@songbirdyThanks for sharing this thread of information. I didn’t know this was in a book. Strangely, it would be Ernie Kovacks who would die in a car crash as I recall .
Much obliged for this movie
Kim Novak is 91 now
找到了这部，柯克道格拉斯所有影片都看了，哈哈哈。

Awesome Library, Zaur !
The building site in ritzy Bel Air. Wow, a year later, remember that huge Bel Air fire when most of the residents had to evacuate from their homes? Including former Vice President Richar M. Nixon.

Lookin' for Love in all the wrong places. Price to pay for stolen moments too high.
The end is heartbreaking, all because of Christianity insisting on monogamy. The Old Testament and even the early Christians practiced polygamy like Muslims do today. Polygamy is a panacea against promiscuity. Though this may come as a rude shock to many I hold monogamy as the leading cause of homosexuality nowadays.
Was hoping for a moral ending to the story, or more of one. Adultery ruins marriages and lives and is a sin against God. Not to be glorified.
It's always a dead end, with devastation no matter what choices are made. Trust is undermined, lives are changed, sometimes destroyed.
It's the 7th commandment.
That’s why it is better maybe to MARRY at 35yrs and NOT before …for MOST PEOPLE.
@@denisefarmer366 Yes, ADULTERY is DEVASTATING on ALL LEVELS.
Oh GEEEEEEZ I'M NOT SURE I CAN GET THROUGH THIS. ugh. No wonder women stay single and get a cat.
Oh my! I saw this years ago and now in 2024 this is tame! I saw this film as a young teen.
