Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard are such phenomenal actors. This movie was made in 1939. In six short years so much had changed. Millions of people died and the world had changed forever. God bless the souls of everyone alive in 1939
I can't help thinking that when I see the dates of films made just before war broke out - we know what lay ahead of them and it is so very poignant and terrible.
When Jimmy walks in after his college reunion... the look on his face is so completely devastating you feel it in your bones. Actors like Stewart are precious. People like Stewart are precious. Hollywood promoting families is long gone. This was such a wonderful film. Thank you, PizzaFlix for preserving and sharing this.
Hallelujah! The power of prayer and the mercy of God to the rescue! This movie brought me to tears. I truly enjoyed it, as it touched my heart in a special way. I'm eternally grateful to the Lord for His listening ear and wonder-working power in my life. Thanks for this movie, PizzaFlix!
These old black and white films were so well written because they didn’t have the special effects they have today. So the writing had to be well written and it was. I love watching them.
some b&w films were well written. A lot were absolute rubbish. Some modern films are very well written. Some are also absolute rubbish. so nothing has changed much writing wise.
splitpitch One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. LOL! One thing my wife and I have found over the years is that some movies of the past 40-50 yrs have scripts where the obscenities really detract from the overall acceptance of the film across the spectrum of audiences. We’ve remarked that we wonder why the writer & producer seemingly added in obscenities after the fact. This because the film would be better all around without the obscenities. Its like those words don’t seem like they would come from the characters as they otherwise are in the film.
Judy Evancic As a spin-of to your comment: «And artists a few centuries ago, like Michelangelo, could paint this well because they had to; they did not have photo/film, so their handwork had to be superb to get as close to reality (or improving it) as possible.». Films had more family values back in the 30ies - 50ies, all the way untill the culture revolution in the 60ies that rebelled against all set norms of society. And did this experiment of «freedom» improve the level of happiness?
@@Cambell777 What? It was one medium at their disposal. I lived in NYC and attended the Art Students League and one can find many artists who can now copy the technique. They painted "that well" because they knew their craft and were "inspired" and had the insight (as did many others of their time and of our time) by higher influence. Meaning not the mundane. At that time since it took decades to develop the technical skills, students were children. The worked with and under other "Masters" of their time. (unfortunately the Church ruled and dictated what could or could not be produced). Reality. Meaningless. Each species sees differently. The eye perceives but the brain sees. Cats see motion against a field of grayish green blur. Eagles of course see in the following manner. "Of all the eyes nature has ever produced, those of the eagle - with its large, hooked beak, pale yellow iris and powerful talons - may be the most extraordinary." "Embedded on either side of its face, an eagle’s eyes give it nearly panoramic vision. If you were an eagle, you could see a rabbit running from three miles away. If you had an eagle’s ultraviolet light perception, you could track a tiny vole from the sky by the UV rays reflected from its urine." "And while most humans have 20/20 vision, eagles are blessed with an astounding 20/5 vision. That means that what looks sharp and clear to us at 5 feet is just as clear to an eagle from 20 feet away". No wonder we use the term “eagle eyes” to describe superb vision. ................................ Some fish and most insects see in other rays we humans can not see. Some such as Mosquito see "infrared" light (reason why they find you in the dark". It is fascinating as to what other species consider "reality" and shows that each is adapted to their own environmental needs. ................................. All of the great art of that time (and other periods) was based on Sacred Geometry - there were mathematical equations applied to the art. If you know art and learn to really see you can realize this. (torsos were elongated, landscapes equally "improved" upon and so forth). Camera's can be included today if one realizes that much can be done in the dark room. The technique is one tool, what one does with the image is the real result. See Ansel Adams. The "real" world did not look the same as his final images. He did much work in the dark room. That is what makes it art verses a Polaroid. (one can use many other techniques - lens so on).
I'm 57 yo. Even as a child I just loved B/W movies. They are so pure, so wonderful. THANK YOU PizzaFlix for making these lovely movies available to the public. Many many thanks.
I can tell you why I watch the old flicks. No superheroes...nobody overcomplicated storylines with you left feeling like, WTF? Just excellent performances from people who took their careers and their responsibilities seriously.
haha, I totally get the "wtf" feeling from some modern films over the last decade. And it'd make me feel like I was the only one saying/feeling that way.
I think Jimmy Stewart was a brilliant man with uncanny ability to focus 100% on perfection in whatever he was doing. His military career in the middle of his movie career proves it. Forever funny and humble man, polite and kind. Agreed the old black whites were written very well. Any color picture remake would be a hit today and yet maybe not as good, depends on who remakes it. ( Bradley Cooper ) Lol
Were I ever to study the art of acting, I would religiously watch Jimmy Stewart. Quintessential Preformer. Carol Lombard gave the craft true genius. And it's very refreshing to experience, for too long now, that there truly are things in our lives incredibly more valuable than any amount of money. A very-rich film. Thank You.
I so enjoyed this movie! Made me cry to when the medicine arrived for the baby. That pilot was a hero. It didn’t show it but he should have gotten high recognition for what he did! Wow! It’s that old Chivalry that we need now!
One of my all time favorite classic films from the Golden Age of Hollywood! 1939 was the year my late parents got married and the bassinette in the movie is the same one my parents bought and family babies have slept in it the first three months ever since 1940. Still have it after my three babies slept in it as well. Love the New Years Even celebration too and the late great Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard, the Queen of Screwball Comedies! What a great loss when she died in that plane crash at the age of 32....she was marvelous! Thanks for sharing~
Such a treat to watch both Carole and Jimmy in a wonderful display of talent...And the Story line and atmosphere - everything was there to make it enjoyable. Thanks so much PizzaFlix!
Totally Tragic, dying in those circumstances, and at such a young age, So awful, and such a waste of a person , and also wonderful tatent, RIP Carole, xx
@Mac intoSser I don't think the comment's premise was tied to categorizing this particular movie as film noir. Rather, the thing unifying them was into the common category of being an "oldie." Abgela Sinclatr was just describing herself/himself as being "a film Noire buff" [SIC].
Wow am only 35 but this movie is amazing, I just love old movies, know I understand, why my grandad use to love them so much, greetings from kotli ajk pakistan
Where has this movie been hiding, and how come it doesn't get more acclaim? Maybe because 1939 had so many great films? Excellent film, with three legends, Stewart, Lombard, and Coburn. I've seen so many of the old classics and have somehow missed this one until now. Lombard was absolutely endearing, loved her in this. Really appreciate the post.
Young Jimmy Stewart was so cute and funny - but also really natural and professional which made him an excellent actor. Carole Lombard is perfectly cast opposite him in this ❤
OMG !!!! Those last twenty minutes had me suffering. When he came in and said "Happy New Year, darling !" I was doing what she was doing , crying and laughing like a fool . What a masterpiece !
Carole Lombard was a huge star and the highest paid actor in Hollywood at this time, the late 1930s. Hard to believe she would die three years after 'MADE FOR EACH OTHER' was released, at the age of just 33, in January 1942. She and her mother died in a plane crash as they returned from a War Bond tour. Lombard was married twice, her first marriage to the actor William Powell lasted from 1931-1933, and she married Clark Gable in 1939 the year this movie was released. Despite re-marrying twice after her death, Gable chose to be interred beside Lombard when he died in 1960, aged 59.
@Thao Brewster You're so welcome, I'm glad it was of interest. I'm a journalist so when I stumble on an old movie like this one, I can't help researching interesting stars like Carole Lombard - it's a compulsion with me! I was immediately struck by how modern/contemporary she is in this film. The movie is a bit dumb in places, but her performance is fresh and believable throughout. She was clearly a superb actress. I knew she died young but couldn't recall the details. When I looked up the sad story I was shocked - her life was short, but far more dramatic than most movie plots. I'm glad Carole Lombard found true love with Clark Gable, it's very touching that they were finally interred side by side, despite his subsequent marriages. God bless, stay safe & well. X
I loved the cashier at the hospital and then the cop on horseback immediately after. Both scenes were heartwarming and both those actors were such a lovely part of the film.
C S today's movies are Trash ....so are the so called actors. Back then when these movies were made, they story lines band great acting. Can never be like that now...too many idiots calling themselves real actors. In reality....they are nothing but foul mouth ...dopers ..it's a shame what Hollywood has become .....smh
Jimmy Stewart was one of my favorite actors. He still is. A real man in every sense of the word. Carole Lombard was really good in this role. I need to watch more of her movies too. This is like the third time I've watched this movie in the past year.
Unlike the cowardly John Wayne, he fought in WW2 as a bomber pilot in US Army Air Force over Germany, over 20 missions. Hero. The Air Force then was under the Army until 1947 when it became distinctly independent like RAF.
This is a wonderful movie. It really tears at my heartstrings. And I love Carole Lombard, in the movie, she stood by her man no matter what! That's the kind of woman I want...although the chance of that happening is remote. They don't make women like that anymore. 😥
Everett, I think the same about Gentleman like Jimmy Stewart & my Granpa...It seems as though all true Gentlemen are either dead or married. 🙄😢😜 God bless the happily married and God rest the deceased precious souls, like the endearing Mr.Stewart and my wonderful Granpa ...My old soul was truly born in the wrong era...May you find your Carole Lombard...Happy New Year to you and your dear ones. 😊 HUG

@@territina5365 Hi again! Glad you didn't mind the kisses. I was thinking you'd have the Me Too movement bearing down on me before long. Just kidding! 😂 You made my day hours ago...that's why I sent them. To answer your question, no I'm not on Facebook (or twitter). I am not a fan of these two social media platforms.

Even though Jimmy Stewart matured as an actor, I think he was at his charming best in these early starring roles (Mr. Smith, Destry, Philadelphia, Wonderful Life, Magic Town and so on).
I really enjoy watching this channel! I've only been watching for a few weeks and I keep coming back to watching these great movies that are never offered on any of the multitude of channels elsewhere! Thank you!
My parents married after two months of meeting - ran off to Las Vegas, and through (much) thick & thin, were married 55kyrs before father passed. This brings fond memories of my mother relating the post-WII/Korean War years in which it wasn't so looked down upon to marry after just meeting...they grew up during the Great Depression and subsequent years of not knowing when / if your sweetheart would come home from war, much less survive.
now not looked down on to have a kid after just meeting (at a local bar, or on the street). Sad for the children these days of such alley cat behavior.
Jimmy Stewart--he was Hollywood's "good guy". What a class act he was. He was great in "It's a wonderful life.".. The all time Christmas classic. Carole Lombard looks so much like Greta Garbo.
Since I did not know Carole Lombard I was wondering how Greta Garbo could possibly be in this movie. Well, I knew it could not be her, but the resemblance is astounding, like an identical twin.
That sweet little baby actually did say "Daddy." I read lips and that's exactly what he said. Watch his lips closely and you'll see it too. This sweet movie is filled with fine actors, including the precious baby!

Very good movie .....such a beautiful family drama....marital love and subtle real feellings, problems, responsibilites, quarrels implicit inside it.....wonderfull playing of characters by wonderful actors.....so much relevant srory till today's time... its really classic......
My god.... what a FILM! An emotional rollercoaster One of those life changing films. And Carole and James are such a perfect pair. Thank you for the upload, I never knew this film existed!
I can feel their heartache @ 1:10:58 Such good actors makes you forget your own troubles & feel heart sick for them at such a personal level... Man! They're Great At Their Craft ~ Bravo! [edited time]
Thank you very much for this wonderful old film!!! Good story, acting and directing + wonderful photography throughout - seen in a very good quality video.
I was but a child entering this world without ever seeing, not hearing of these actors and actresses such as Stewart and Lombard. Suffice it to say I even never heard of the greatest movies they appeared in!!! Therefore, at my age now, I cannot begin to tell you how very much I appreciate those who made those films possible! I lay here, in my bed, every night now, looking forward to them and those who worked so arduously to bring HOLLYWOOD into my bedroom each night. Just one question that has haunted me for months now..... "Did Clark Gabke, the husband during his wife's rise to stardom, EVER APPEAR WITH HER IN ANY OF HER FILMS?" SHOULD anyone know the answer to my question, I would be much obliged to learn the answer when it is posted on this app. Thank you!!!!!
Lucile Watson played Jimmy Stewart's mother, a wonderful actress who was also superb as Norma Shearer's Ma Mrs Morehead in THE WOMEN, made this same year, 1939. I think Lucile Watson cornered the market in indomitable mothers in the 1930s and '40s. She was born in 1879 and died in 1962 aged 83, leaving a legacy of great character movie roles. Really enjoyed this movie, thank you so much for the upload! Jimmy and Carole made a handsome couple, her tragic death in her prime in a plane crash (along with her mother) was a sad loss. It's easy to see why Clark Gable never got over her, despite re-marrying, and was buried alongside her when his time came. Just discovered you and subbed - PIZZAFLIX must survive! XXX
@@saran3214 Thanks - she had a very memorable voice didn't she, I can 'hear' it as I type this! She may not have been a household name or headliner, but we are still discussing Lucile Watson in 2020 thanks to her work onscreen, nearly 60 years after her death. That's a form of immortality in my book. Good chatting with you, stay safe and well. XXX
I adore the classics...I was raised by my Granny & Granpa and these lovely films captured my heart from a very young age...My old soul simply feels every tiny bit of them...If anyone would like to know some of my favorites, I would be happy to share with you...Two that come to mind right now are Remember the Night, from 1940 (Christmas theme) with Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray & Beulah Bondi playing MacMurray's Mom, the superb actress who played Jimmy Stewart's Mom in It's a Wondrrful Life and also Of Human Hearts, from 1938 (very rare) with Jimmy Stewart, Walter Houston & again Beulah Bondi, once again playing Jimmy's Mom...Both EXCELLENT films~~~🥰❤
'I hope it doesn't plunge Judge Doolittle into bankruptcy' - a quip by mum after the baby receives his first $10 gift, from Dad's employer. Really enjoy James Stewart films. This is another good one.
Carole was gorgeous. Clarke Gable was a lucky man for a while before tragedy struck with her being killed in a plane accident. They say he never really got over it. Incidentally, both Jimmy and Clarke were in the USAF with Jimmy giving distinguished service.
Ironically, the Black servant seems to be the only happy person, "the best servant", babysitter, personal comforter the stay-at-home lawyer´s wife ever had. The maid just lost her job and still comes by to bring food to her former nice but down-on-their luck bosses. They don´t even ask her in after accepting her gifts but she´s still happily smiling as she leaves. And of course, watermelons and chicken are also part of the conversation! This movie, although a well-done classic from a filmmaker point of view, is also an example of the white privilege enjoyed by people who considered themselves poor in an era where Black people had to play these kinds of "Step and Fetch It" roles to even get a chance in the movie industry.
Beatrice Karbaumer-Jones I believe the actress who plays the black maid is Louise Beavers, from the original version of Imitation of life (1934), if so, I've seen a video where someone said she wasn't that fat until she realised it was easier to get jobs in movies that time if she that profile, sadly
I really enjoyed this movie with Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard, (Made for each other), I'm glad I can watch descent movie's with great actors, thank you.(+_+)
Seeing that pilot crawling through the snow after bailing out of a burning plane in a snow storm finally making it to that cabin on the outskirts of where ever, what a script... Good Show!!! May God Bless Him!...
Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard are such phenomenal actors.
This movie was made in 1939. In six short years so much had changed. Millions of people died and the world had changed forever.
God bless the souls of everyone alive in 1939
The year (1939) my great n loving mother was born.
My mother was 12 years old and my father was 16. They were living in Greece. WW2 broke out in 1941 and their lives changed forever.
I can't help thinking that when I see the dates of films made just before war broke out - we know what lay ahead of them and it is so very poignant and terrible.
Funny, I thought the same thing
My Mom was bored April 5, 1930. So much has changed for sure.
When Jimmy walks in after his college reunion... the look on his face is so completely devastating you feel it in your bones. Actors like Stewart are precious. People like Stewart are precious. Hollywood promoting families is long gone. This was such a wonderful film. Thank you, PizzaFlix for preserving and sharing this.

@@seltaeb9691 You're an idiot.
Yesss
James Stewart was an incredible actor. Love all his movies. Thank you
Carole was one of a kind. You never question her loyalty and devotion. But she is one tough, beautiful, smart and talented blond.
Clever how they start signing their real names to a marriage license. Makes it feel even more real!
This is a wonderful movie. It really tears at my heartstrings. And I love Carole Lombard, in the movie, she stood by her man no matter what! That's the kind of woman I want...although the chance of that happening is remote. They don't make women like that anymore. 😥
Everett, I think the same about Gentleman like Jimmy Stewart & my Granpa...It seems as though all true Gentlemen are either dead or married. 🙄😢😜 God bless the happily married and God rest the deceased precious souls, like the endearing Mr.Stewart and my wonderful Granpa ...My old soul was truly born in the wrong era...May you find your Carole Lombard...Happy New Year to you and your dear ones. 😊 HUG
@@territina5365 I love your comment! Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 💕 I wish you a happy, healthy and safe New Year...and every year thereafter! And hugs to you, too! I hope you don't mind that I am also sending you kisses! 💋 💋 💋
Everett, Awww thanks bunches and right back at~cha!😚💋 Are you by chance on fb?
@@territina5365 Hi again! Glad you didn't mind the kisses. I was thinking you'd have the Me Too movement bearing down on me before long. Just kidding! 😂 You made my day hours ago...that's why I sent them. To answer your question, no I'm not on Facebook (or twitter). I am not a fan of these two social media platforms. TH-cam is the only platform for communicating with fellow hobbists about trains (note my usepic/avatar), classic movies, music, etc. Hope you don't mind one more smooch. 💋
This movie had me on pins and needles!! I loved it! Hope and Love and Faith in God are all you need for a happy life
Robin Richter . So true. That is until the new Hollywood moguls kicked God out of the scene and replaced Him with mediocrity and The Big Money.😣
Robin Richter, so... are you a gentleman or a lady, please? ~Me...I'm a gentleman.

So much better than the tacky stuff we see these days on tv..
no comparison at all. we don't have classical writers......baloney not New York strip.
Vera Witteveen i agree.
So true ! These old films are how my autistic son learned great manners in the little he said an did. With others. He spoke antiquated an proper :)
Mable Bloom ...👍👍👍👍👍❤️

Mr Obvious..Carole is unequaled in beauty,class,sexines and acting prowess.
Overall perfection personified!!!
Even though Jimmy Stewart matured as an actor, I think he was at his charming best in these early starring roles (Mr. Smith, Destry, Philadelphia, Wonderful Life, Magic Town and so on).
I really enjoy watching this channel! I've only been watching for a few weeks and I keep coming back to watching these great movies that are never offered on any of the multitude of channels elsewhere!
Thank you!
Today’s directors could take a cue from these old movies.
Yes, they had a story line, dialog, etc.

My parents married after two months of meeting - ran off to Las Vegas, and through (much) thick & thin, were married 55kyrs before father passed. This brings fond memories of my mother relating the post-WII/Korean War years in which it wasn't so looked down upon to marry after just meeting...they grew up during the Great Depression and subsequent years of not knowing when / if your sweetheart would come home from war, much less survive.
Lol - would add; mother strongly recommended knowing someone more than a few months prior to marriage :)
Nice comment, Lisa
now not looked down on to have a kid after just meeting (at a local bar, or on the street). Sad for the children these days of such alley cat behavior.

So well-put, indeed.
Jimmy Stewart--he was Hollywood's "good guy". What a class act he was. He was great in "It's a wonderful life.".. The all time Christmas classic. Carole Lombard looks so much like Greta Garbo.
Since I did not know Carole Lombard I was wondering how Greta Garbo could possibly be in this movie. Well, I knew it could not be her, but the resemblance is astounding, like an identical twin.
That sweet little baby actually did say "Daddy." I read lips and that's exactly what he said. Watch his lips closely and you'll see it too. This sweet movie is filled with fine actors, including the precious baby!
That baby is someone's grandpa or great grandpa now.
Such GREAT STORIES, Such GREAT ACTORS 👍 Ty for circulating these Greats🙌👏
Such a marvelous movie. We need this kind these days
Due grandi attori. Carol bellissima e bravissima. Janes veramente eccezionale. Grazie del video davvero prezioso.
Carole Lombard was a Real beauty in the day. Thanks for upload

Stewart and Lombard were casted beautifully.
Just as I thought it might be getting a little dull, it riveted into gear with a vengeance. Delightful tale. World class actors.
Thanks for these old movies, I love them.!!!
So sweet!! I loved this! Good old fashioned values!
Very good movie .....such a beautiful family drama....marital love and subtle real feellings, problems, responsibilites, quarrels implicit inside it.....wonderfull playing of characters by wonderful actors.....so much relevant srory till today's time... its really classic......
Thank you thank you Pizzafllx. these are the only sense of goodness i find these days. We really appreciate your films. Thank you!
Yes indeed...
My god.... what a FILM!
An emotional rollercoaster
One of those life changing films.
And Carole and James are such a perfect pair. Thank you for the upload, I never knew this film existed!
I can feel their heartache @ 1:10:58
Such good actors makes you forget your own troubles & feel heart sick for them at such a personal level... Man! They're Great At Their Craft ~ Bravo!

Love all the James Stewart films great actor
1920 man snd women are dress up beautiful in public
2020 look at women and man in public ! so bad !
@@thandtvnguyen8665 You are soo right .
De
Love this old film and James Stewart with Carole Lombard were superb
Thank you very much for this wonderful old film!!! Good story, acting and directing + wonderful photography throughout - seen in a very good quality video.
A man measuring himself by what he has and has accomplished rather than who he has become hasn't accomplished much.
Well said! Sums up the whole film very well.
Great old fashioned movie. They sure don't make m like they used to. Thank you so much for posting. This was really fun to see.😁
Rest in peace Carole...such a great actress
he death destroyed Clark Gable.
I was but a child entering this world without ever seeing, not hearing of these actors and actresses such as Stewart and Lombard. Suffice it to say I even never heard of the greatest movies they appeared in!!!
Therefore, at my age now, I cannot begin to tell you how very much I appreciate those who made those films possible!
I lay here, in my bed, every night now, looking forward to them and those who worked so arduously to bring HOLLYWOOD into my bedroom each night.
Just one question that has haunted me for months now.....
"Did Clark Gabke, the husband during his wife's rise to stardom, EVER APPEAR WITH HER IN ANY OF HER FILMS?"
SHOULD anyone know the answer to my question, I would be much obliged to learn the answer when it is posted on this app.
Thank you!!!!!
I am referring to
CLARK GABLE OF COURSE.
MY FINGERS SEEMED TO HAVE GONE ASTRAY.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR INDULGENCE IN THIS MATTER.
You did a great job uploading this film and I agree James Stewart was a very handsome man!
I cried more than I cried in Titanic, what a classic movie with lots of human and family values.Fantastic performances too.
Thank you so much Pizza Glix for this excellent movie ,I enjoed it very much.❤👍
Such a beautiful movie. I cried a lot . Lovely classical movies .👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lucile Watson played Jimmy Stewart's mother, a wonderful actress who was also superb as Norma Shearer's Ma Mrs Morehead in THE WOMEN, made this same year, 1939. I think Lucile Watson cornered the market in indomitable mothers in the 1930s and '40s. She was born in 1879 and died in 1962 aged 83, leaving a legacy of great character movie roles.
Really enjoyed this movie, thank you so much for the upload! Jimmy and Carole made a handsome couple, her tragic death in her prime in a plane crash (along with her mother) was a sad loss. It's easy to see why Clark Gable never got over her, despite re-marrying, and was buried alongside her when his time came.
Just discovered you and subbed - PIZZAFLIX must survive! XXX
You are right! She played such a great mother in The Women and such a terrible one here. Good catch!
@@saran3214 Thanks - she had a very memorable voice didn't she, I can 'hear' it as I type this! She may not have been a household name or headliner, but we are still discussing Lucile Watson in 2020 thanks to her work onscreen, nearly 60 years after her death. That's a form of immortality in my book.
Good chatting with you, stay safe and well. XXX
Another great old movie, made me laugh and made me cry.
Loved this. Thank you very much 😊
Just love Jimmy Stewart' movies!❤️
thanks for the old movie.
Such sweet movies. Love this era.
Thank you! Loved the movie!
All this and Ward Bond too! Thank you!
Just wonderful..thanks for sharing 📺📽🎞🍿🥤😊
Great Movie, Thank you! 🌹
This one & Penny Seranade- just THE best in every way. 💘💔💕💖
I adore the classics...I was raised by my Granny & Granpa and these lovely films captured my heart from a very young age...My old soul simply feels every tiny bit of them...If anyone would like to know some of my favorites, I would be happy to share with you...Two that come to mind right now are Remember the Night, from 1940 (Christmas theme) with Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray & Beulah Bondi playing MacMurray's Mom, the superb actress who played Jimmy Stewart's Mom in It's a Wondrrful Life and also Of Human Hearts, from 1938 (very rare) with Jimmy Stewart, Walter Houston & again Beulah Bondi, once again playing Jimmy's Mom...Both EXCELLENT films~~~🥰❤
Thanks for the recommendation
@@bonniekeller6552, You're most welcome, ENJOY! 😊
Yes, thank you . Definitely enjoying these old movies.
Seeing Carole with the baby on here made me so sad. She wanted a child so bad with Clark before her death , but it just didn't happen.
James Stewart is so good in this sweet melodrama
Thank you for showing a great movie 🍿👍
Good movie! Love Jimmy Stewart. Thanks for posting!
Thank you! Great movie!
Filmes Excelentes.
Excellent films and all the actors. Gratitude for posting
'I hope it doesn't plunge Judge Doolittle into bankruptcy' - a quip by mum after the baby receives his first $10 gift, from Dad's employer. Really enjoy James Stewart films. This is another good one.
Carole was gorgeous. Clarke Gable was a lucky man for a while before tragedy struck with her being killed in a plane accident. They say he never really got over it. Incidentally, both Jimmy and Clarke were in the USAF with Jimmy giving distinguished service.
Heartwarming, innocent, beautiful...James and Carole...just a joy....
Ironically, the Black servant seems to be the only happy person, "the best servant", babysitter, personal comforter the stay-at-home lawyer´s wife ever had. The maid just lost her job and still comes by to bring food to her former nice but down-on-their luck bosses. They don´t even ask her in after accepting her gifts but she´s still happily smiling as she leaves. And of course, watermelons and chicken are also part of the conversation! This movie, although a well-done classic from a filmmaker point of view, is also an example of the white privilege enjoyed by people who considered themselves poor in an era where Black people had to play these kinds of "Step and Fetch It" roles to even get a chance in the movie industry.
Beatrice Karbaumer-Jones I believe the actress who plays the black maid is Louise Beavers, from the original version of Imitation of life (1934), if so, I've seen a video where someone said she wasn't that fat until she realised it was easier to get jobs in movies that time if she that profile, sadly
I really enjoyed this movie with Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard, (Made for each other), I'm glad I can watch descent movie's with great actors, thank you.(+_+)
I loved it!! Thank you!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Well they pulled out all the stops on this one...including the parachute... Lovely lockdown afternoon 😃 Thanks 👍

Seeing that pilot crawling through the snow after bailing out of a burning plane in a snow storm finally making it to that cabin on the outskirts of where ever, what a script... Good Show!!! May God Bless Him!...
