I LOVE THEM TOO. THEY TELL A STORY. THERE ARE SO MANY TALENTED ACTORS MUSICIANS AND ENTERTAINERS IN THEM IT'S AMAZING. UNLIKE TODAY'S MOVIES THAT ARE MOSTLY GARBAGE. IT'S REFRESHING TO WATCH ENTERTAINMENT THAT ISN'T CRAP.
People were so Classy and elegant back then. Not like today’s world. Just love this movie. Well worth a watch.from a byegone age no Botox or plastic surgery in sight in those days ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thankyou for posting
What a wonderful and beautifully innocent movie. From a time when the heart was more important than an electronic device. I miss those days. Thanks for the upload. :)
Just a comment regarding the segment of his "show" at about the 11:50 mark of the film where Tom Breneman interviews a lady with the name of Marie Edgedaw from Cherry Valley. She was portrayed wonderfully by the actress Sarah Padden and I found her dialogue fascinating since I grew up in Southern California and was very familar with the area talked about Beaumont, Cherry Valley, Banning. If you're driving to Palm Springs, you would pass this area and the dialogue is exactly right about the geography so I definitely knew what "Marie Edgedaw" was saying was true! It's also very sad that Tom Breneman passed away not long after this film was made and in the prime of his career and life of an apparent heart attack at only 47 years old.
Mrs. Cartwright is Glenda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz. And, Nat King Cole was one of the most elegant and refined men of his time and one of the best from the early Jazz Age.
Cole was yet another smoker who paid for it with lung cancer (at 45). When he left hospital (briefly) after losing a lung, he quipped: "they'll be calling me 'One Lung Cole' from now on" but he only had weeks left.
I love this movie because, is featuring the great Nat King Cole.He was the coolest black man in Hollywood at this time. He even had his ownTV show in his latter years. He was a great singer and musician .
Very sweet; "new" fashioned and old fashioned. Wonderful expose on Nat Cole's piano talent and trio. Could have watched him and Spike Jones all night. Thank you.
OMG....Hedda Hopper @ 21:45; Gary Cooper's mother @21:51; and Joan Crawford's mother @22:08! I have seen pictures/cameos of Hedda Hopper before; but to see Gary Cooper's and Joan Crawford's mother was a real treat!
I love love love your channel. I'm watching this cute movie and realized the young navy man was Stewart Granger. He was a wonderful actor. And yes it's awesome to see Nat King Cole in this movie also. I love movies from 30's up to the 60's.
They sure don't make them like they used to I like watching old movies like these even though they were before my time I enjoy watching them today without all the chaotic that some movies produce thank you for sharing
PizzaFlix, thanks for uploading such a delightful movie. The singing and music were delightful. Gosh, people sure did fall in love quickly in these old movies.
Great movie, really loved the cameos with Nat King Cole. Had no idea he played such interesting songs! Here's some lyrics if you're curious: It's Better To Be By Yourself | Nat King Cole It is better to be by yourself It is better to be by yourself Love is made by two, it don't include a third. 'cause you'll lose your chick and then you'll get the bird So it's better to be by yourself Never trust a gal Who puts on weet dialouge Never trust a pal 'cause remember that man's best friend is his dog So it's better to be by youself It is better to be on the shelf Be just like a hermit living in a cage You don't get much lovin' but the dough you save Makes it better to be by yourself There's a story that's told about a man's mate When his change run out she said "i'll see you gate'" Now he works all day and come(s) home at night, Instead of little bitty pettin' all she wants to do is fight, So it's better to be by yourself, boy It's better to be by yourself, oh man It's better to be by yourself, boy Thanks for the upload 💖
I don't see why 31 people didn't like this movie. It was silly, good music (The Wishing Ring) that was romantic. Everyone wanted to look their best, and the lady really loved her doggie! 😺🐾🐾🙃👍🏻❤️
Thanks Pizza fix, I totally love Beulah Bondi what a sweetheart, she loves that dog, like I love mine. & Za Zu Pitts what a gal. Such a wonderful movie. Sad tho, I love hearing Andy Russell sing, what a beautiful voice. And those songs he sang, were excellent. Between Za Zus hat & Heddas ,it would be hard to choose which ones are the worst, or the best. Lol Thanks for the wonderful movie. I never expect anything less than good movies from you. You always deliver the best !
Worth it just to see Joan Crawford's and Gary Cooper's mothers. Andy Russell sings Amor Amor wonderfully too at the end ... fabulous dahling ... encore encore ... 😅
@@bambinoandmore46 No-ones upbringing is perfect: she became a Silver Screen Queen and SS Queen mother all that has pressures attached to it l imagine esp when you got appearances to upkeep and a PR Agent to keep happy and you don't know if you can pay them unless you get the next starring role...
55:23 "Can't you see I don't want to talk to you" would be "Get the hell outta my face" and "Pardon me, lady" would be "Watch it, bitch" 74 years later. If I was born American, I would die to have this era back by just watching this movie. Thanks for posting. A wonderful movie. 1:22:13 37 years later it becomes th-cam.com/video/CRA9l1Inpas/w-d-xo.html
I have a couple old postcards of Tom Breneman's Breakfast in Hollywood, and have wondered what the show might have been like. A sappy but sweet and likeable old, forgotten film. It is certainly understandable why it's been forgotten, but it's nice on occasion to remember such forgotten things as this.
At the time, Tom was on ABC's weekday schedule at 11am(et)/9:30am(pt). The format was an audience participation show, with him going around the room talking to ladies and other members of the audience at their tables, with musical performances and "stunts" as well.
To have old postcards is wonderful. If we only knew then, what we know now. I would have bought up every post card in the store. I've got some very very old postcards and wouldnt give them up for anything. They are a slice of history !
Upon seeing this movie a few years ago for the first time, I researched it. Evidently this Breakfast with Tom Breneman's was an actual happening in Hollywood during the 40's-unique idea.
This was fun, I really enjoyed it; Thank-You! Everyone was excellent, and it was a lovely surprise to see/hear a young Nat King Cole performing with his group the ‘King Cole Trio’!!
The Mad Hatter hat aside, Zasu's skirted suit and sensible shoes look smart. Especially as she drives, her no-nonsense expression primly intact, from the back seat.
What a wonderful movie.. I am so happy for the first time in my life. God has answered all of my prayers, and everything going on, I know he loves this world he created, just not what man has done in it. I watch this PizzaFlix channel throughout this past year when I discovered it. But saw the anniversary notification, I guess I never clicked on playlists. Or maybe you have uploaded more since.. anyway, what a time to live. What a wonderful view of how things used to be. I sure wish I was as skinny as those ladies.. lol.. thank you so much. I really have a hard time sleeping and these movies really help me. Congratulations!
1)The woman portraying “Mrs.Annie Red” also portrayed “Martha Corinne” on the tv show The Walton’s. 2)The man reading the newspaper in the bus station portrayed the mayor on The Andy Griffith Show.
This was the film that introduced me to the music of Andy Russell, one of the first major crossover singers. You can see and hear a number of his performances in Spanish here on YT if you search his name.
@@cocoaorange1 Andy Russell was one of the first crossover singing stars in the US, very popular singing in English and Spanish. His best-known hit was "Besame mucho." His US career peaked in the early 1950s, after which he did most of his sininging and film/tv work in Latin America.
'Lady! You are a bad girl. You're not putting up a fight at all!' ' I've been fighting for 82 years. ... To win a battle, you've got to have something to fight for.' 'Now you're talking through your hat. We all have work to do, and we have people who need us.'
Everyone loved their neighbor? In what mythical universe? The Zoot Suit Riots and Belle Island Riots occurred in 1943. The US military was segregated until Truman issued his 1948 Executive Order. Most major cities were also highly segregated.
@@duke9555 I don't live in the States so maybe in that country people always hated, but in the early 1960s we knew all our neighbours and mothers always talked over the fences on laundry day. Neighbours actually were there for each other, feeding each other's pets when on vacation, giving rides when necessary, etc. Not everyone was sociable but far more than now. I think it is necessary for people now to think that world did not exist in order to actually keep their sanity. The dissonance would kill them if they thought about the cesspool of a world we live in now. Apparently the States has always been.
I think we can all acknowledge the general mainstream culture of the era leaning more towards biblical principles like, love thy neighbor. There's always exceptions because humanity in general is not "good" without God. You won't find a truly peaceful time in history. That's unrealistic.
Spike Jones was the Frank Zappa of his day. Totally out there. Check out some of his recordings that aren't "movie" work to get a better idea of his extraordinary talent.
@Bea Plum I love those old Spike Jones records, used to have some of his 78s. The rendition of "Glowworm" in this movie is hilarious but the old recording was even better. Edit: Later I got them again, collected on LP, so I bet they're available on CD or in some electronic format now.
My parents called into the tv room, interrupting homework to see him and I almost threw up laughing so hard I was unable to breath. Truly bizarre in those days, I see the Zappa part ...
My wife and I are so stuck on wheeler and woosley. At least once a day for the last 3 months. What s hidden treasure. To me they surpassed all the rest. 👍🏻
Love Bonita Granville, She's adorable. Terrific body, especially looks good in the blouse she wears in this movie. I get her mixed up with Billie BUrke tho, and apparently I'm not the only one, according to comments.
Bonita has acted since she was a young girl, a Very pretty lady. Billie Burke was the good witch Glinda in the Wizard of Oz. Billie has been in many many movies. All the Topper movies. All her filmography is amazing. I dont know where she found the time, or energy to do all she did. She was also.married to Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. he was a Broadway producer & he also had the Ziegfeld Follies.,He was quite a showman back in that day, and quite handsome. Some of the stories of these actors and actresses are wonderful to read. Some have had good times & some bad times. Proves we all are human & that we all share in the human experience .We all have ups & downs just like everyone else.
Thank you PizzaFix Just seeing in the opening credits that Spike Jones and King Cole Trio in this is enuff to hook me. Then seeing Nat King Cole playing such a great tune with trio. Solid Potato Salad, whewww! Looking forward to watching this tonite.
A really silly show, more of a vehicle for singers and actors in cameos than a plot. But I would give ten modern, overburdened, heavy toned, and oversexed modern flicks for one of these innocent pieces of frivolity. Loved the electric car!
An unexpected delight! Opens with the King Cole Trio's incredible musicianship (plus a longer segment toward the end). Then after some ZaSu shtick, Ms. Pitts leaves in an electric car! Then Hedda Hopper, and two performances by Spike Jones and His City Slickers If you can tolerate the treacly sentimental ending (not unusual for 1946) don't miss the four Nordic-looking beauties singing "bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong" in the movie's final song.
Can't get enough of the black and white classis. Loved it

So great to see the incredible Nat King Cole and his trio featured in this film. This was early in their career, and brilliant as always!

I wasn't born even close to that era and never heard of " breakfast in Hollywood". Know know what a great radio show it was. Sweet romantic movie.
What a wonderful and beautifully innocent movie. From a time when the heart was more important than an electronic device. I miss those days. Thanks for the upload. :)
My sentiments, exactly!
Spike Jones and the City Slickers .
A very very young Nat King Cole! How amazing is this! Wow!
I did not know he did movies in the 40's.
I agree with someone below. Bonita Granville was gorgeous. 😍 She enlivens every movie she appears in.
Nancy Drew grew into quite a beauty .

Billie Burke was the good witch ❤
My apologies, Mrs Cartwright is Billie Burke.
Hedda Hopper was 51 in this film. She looked exquisite!
Great to see Nat King Cole young and vibrant. I remember his tv show. Great voice.
Thank you for sharing this lovely movie! The Old Lady with the dog was wonderful,- and so was her pup!
Zasu Pitts is always great. Thanks for good upload of a very enjoyable classic. 👍
Just finished watching this wonderful movie. Loved it.
Also the scene at 6:08 of the lady and her dog..very sweet. This show is Full of famous peoples, comedic lines and good music.
The Spike Jones band in this movie I saw when they came to the Omaha Orphium theater when I was about 4 years old. I remember it well.
So enjoyably. It has taken me away from all the bad of this year. 2020 has been ruff.
I love this movie because, is featuring the great Nat King Cole.He was the coolest black man in Hollywood at this time. He even had his ownTV show in his latter years. He was a great singer and musician .
It seems the Cole t.v. show had to fail, just because he was black and it couldn't get bookings.
Later*
Black shouldn’t even be a part of the description! Good grief
He had the first mainstream TV shoe headlined by a black
@@CoExist64 Good grief, were you born yesterday?
Very sweet; "new" fashioned and old fashioned. Wonderful expose on Nat Cole's piano talent and trio. Could have watched him and Spike Jones all night. Thank you.
And that camera close up on Nat Cole's hands was a marvel to behold!
OMG....Hedda Hopper @ 21:45; Gary Cooper's mother @21:51; and Joan Crawford's mother @22:08! I have seen pictures/cameos of Hedda Hopper before; but to see Gary Cooper's and Joan Crawford's mother was a real treat!
If you will (and some won't), "Grandmommie Dearest."
I will......LOL!
It's so nice to watch these movies at night & then curl up & go to sleep!!

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
@@PizzaFLIX Granger not in this.In 1946 he was a star,aged 33 and making british films.
That was definitely NOT the British actor Stewart Granger.
My grandparents loved the Breakfast Club. It was a great way to start the day.
With Don Mc Neal ...that was a long time ago...Iwasjust a kid but I remember it
@@michealfigueroa6325 Its like another world today. You lived in good times my friend.
King Cole Trio: 1:11:12. " It''s Better to be By Yourself." Outstanding.
Cole was great at the piano:I prefer those trio performances to the big band stuff that iften drowned his talent.
@@None-zc5vg I agree.
i love Nat King Cole singer . He had a wonderful voice
Beulah Bondi was James Stewart's mum in Its a wonderful life.
They sure don't make them like they used to I like watching old movies like these even though they were before my time I enjoy watching them today without all the chaotic that some movies produce thank you for sharing

Thanks for uploading with original video & audio format.
PizzaFlix, thanks for uploading such a delightful movie. The singing and music were delightful. Gosh, people sure did fall in love quickly in these old movies.
This was so sweet! Lots of fun, a good story, good acting, and some great music! Thanks! 🌈🌈🌈
This is just a charming old movie with some lovely performances, especially by Bonita Granville, who shines bright in this one.
Nice movie. Not only do you get to see Spike Jones and His group , but the Nat King Cole trio as well.
What a delightful movie. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
this is like such a beautiful story and i absolutely love the love, different sorts and ages throughout the film, and the music...
What a load of sentimental heart wrenching foolishness AND l wouldn't have missed it for the World. 😍😂😢Thanx for uploading.
Great movie, really loved the cameos with Nat King Cole. Had no idea he played such interesting songs! Here's some lyrics if you're curious:
It's Better To Be By Yourself | Nat King Cole
It is better to be by yourself
It is better to be by yourself
Love is made by two, it don't include a third.
'cause you'll lose your chick and then you'll get the bird
So it's better to be by yourself
Never trust a gal
Who puts on weet dialouge
Never trust a pal
'cause remember that man's best friend is his dog
So it's better to be by youself
It is better to be on the shelf
Be just like a hermit living in a cage
You don't get much lovin' but the dough you save
Makes it better to be by yourself
There's a story that's told about a man's mate
When his change run out she said "i'll see you gate'"
Now he works all day and come(s) home at night,
Instead of little bitty pettin' all she wants to do is fight,
So it's better to be by yourself, boy
It's better to be by yourself, oh man
It's better to be by yourself, boy
Thanks for the upload 💖
I really did like it !
Many thanks for posting !
Intoxicating with heady emotions and events. Sweet movie of 40s.
At 21:49 Gary Cooper and Joan Crawford's mothers! That was so cool and unexpected.
This was a true gem..I so enjoyed it..cute and sweet..ty 😁
Nat King Cole......1:11:29....... Second song in this movie.......so much talent...."Its Better to be by yourself"
No one could touch Nat King Cole, in class all to himself.
What a great little movie. I loved it. The characters were beautifully cast and so gently played by the cast. Yes, a treat.
I don't see why 31 people didn't like this movie. It was silly, good music (The Wishing Ring) that was romantic. Everyone wanted to look their best, and the lady really loved her doggie! 😺🐾🐾🙃👍🏻❤️
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
It's because of B&W cinematography, that, and nothing is blowing up.
No real ending. Story just quits . We don't know what the little old lady says to the couple to get them back together
Now this was a fun movie to watch. I have always loved Nat King Cole and Beulah Bondi.
Nothing for Zasu?
@@babydriver8134 I love Zasu! There wasn't enough for her to do in this one but she did the most with what she had.

If you can tolerate the treacly sentimental ending (not unusual for 1946) don't miss the four Nordic-looking beauties singing "bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong" in the movie's final song.
Wonderful film! Maybe with one location shot of Hollywood would have been a plus.
Great vid. Lovr Spike. He was light years ahead of the others.
The hats! And the mother. Dying laughing glee
