Yes, she was the best of the best, not only in her looks, but in her acting, too. I just hope she knew that. I'm just thankful for technology, that captured these movies, which always make it seem like they're still alive. I never think of them as dead. I'm sure in their mind, when they made these films, they knew they were making a timeless classic, that would help the future generations ✌
Dorothy Dandridge The most beautifulness women in the world. Her grace elegance natural beauty the world Truly misses Dorothy Dandridge she never got the recognition she deserved and still don't. We love you and miss you
What an amazing movie starring the lovely "Dorothy Dandridge"! Her beauty was beyond breathtaking! She was an amazing actress, wife, and mother, and the world truly misses her! RIP beautiful lady!
This is my favourite Dorothy movie, she played a lovely role here. Sometimes I like to think her life was just like in this movie. That in spite of everything she went through she was a lovely teacher and had a meaningful life. It'd be great if this wasn't a movie and this was just the way she lived. Because Dorothy had such a harsh life.😥😥😥😥😥
You're my HERO for putting this up! I've loved this movie since I was five years old. This and "Carmen Jones" are my two favorite Dorothy Dandridge films ever made. I love the Dandridge - Belafonte duo!
I had the privilege of bringing The Late great Mr.Belafonte bags dwn at the hotel i once worked at..we discussed the other film 🎥 he made with Dorothy...Island in the Sun
I watched the full movie on TCM recently and found it to be very good. One other thing I discovered: Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge are two of the prettiest people God ever made. The movie is worth watching just to look at them.
My children actually like the movie at first they said this movie is old mommy! but after they watched it they said this was a good movie mommy !then we had time for decusion about the movie!this is a good movie to watch with your children especially for the times we are living in today!5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My mom was teaching at the time that this movie was made. The school in this movie is possibly a Rosenwald School built with funds from the Rosenwald Fund. Mr. Rosenwald was the founder of Sears. My mom dressed similar to Dorothy Dandridge heels included.
I taught grades in a private school from pre-k to 7th grade, but I never had a student like CT! They were strong willed like him, they even had an air of confidence at a young age, but CT is like an "old soul"! A child that thinks like an adult without the emotional development! A child born to do "great things"! 💞
This is indeed one of my all-time favorite movies next to Carmen. Dorothy Dandridge was just so, so pretty. I would love to see more Native Black and Brown Children in film today.
Dorothy Dandridge, a beautiful butterfly that got lost in a storm. Seems like everyone wanted to crush her wings and destroy her. Some People are so mean and evil .
I grew up in the 60s era, a very fun time, in my life. I've just been watching black movies, from that era, not only because it reminds me so much of my childhood years, but also to see if I can catch a glimpse, of something we can apply to the kid's betterment nowadays. I know back in my youth, in the summer times we played all day OUTSIDE. Full of fun, and adventure, and we were healthy. Didn't have fancy toys, we would climb trees, jump ditches, even putting a string on the leg of a June bug, and flying it like a plane, was cool. Even getting the glow end of a lightening bug, and smearing it on our shirts, making the first glow in the dark shirt. We just MADE our fun, and it wasn't ever a dull, boring day.✌
My mom was teaching about the time that this film was released. She had a wonderful effect on many of her students. And I still run into some of them and they do miss her a lot.
I imagine a lot of children felt the same way about school and just didn't make it known. :-) I don't recall being so fond of it, either, in elementary.
100% AGREE with Sepia Rose!!! Wanting For Years To Watch It Again!! Saw It One Night on TBS in the 1990's ... Some Black History Month - Black Films Special ... Loved It!!! Thanks For The Upload!!!..
The little girl at 7:47 Barbara Randolph would go on to Motown. she was briefly considered as a replacement for Florence Ballard before Gordy settle on Cindy Birdsong.
Thank you for uploading this gem. I have it on D.V.D. but it's easier to watch it on TH-cam. Dorothy Dandridge's sister Vivian Dandridge makes a brief appearance as a fellow teacher during the faculty meeting. She is the one who says she had C.T in her class last year. This role as the kind, demure school teacher is in complete contrast to Miss Dandride's next movie "Carmen Jones" for which she would win an Oscar nomination. It's hard to believe it's the same actress She is sublime in both films. Also in this movie, both she and Harry Belafonte get to display their vocal talents in song. As an actor, Mr. Belafone is very good in his film debut.
DOROTHY DANDRIDGE....HARRY BELAFONTE ...If these two great actors where around today at the time of this film at their young ages...racism or not....they would be '' SUPER STARS ''
I was watching this movie on TCM last week and was dumbfounded that when the children said the pledge "under God" was not in it. Does anyone know was it in the original version? I can't imagine in 1953 that it would be taken out.
I saw this film with a friend yesterday. A sweet, charming, and classic film. Does anyone know if the main kid actors Philip Hepburn and Barbara Ann Sanders are still living? Did they act in any other films.
Well, at least they recited the Pledge of Allegiance correctly. 4:06 . ...Fully within the spirit of Article Six, clause three, of the U.S. Constitution.
They knew better back then. ....The United States of America - the world's FIRST secular nation-state. (The first nation-state with no official cult or priesthood. Religious belief and organization PURELY a private matter. The concept that protects YOUR right to worship as you believe, and keeps the state from foisting "religious education" on you, as you'd get in a British or German school, is the same concept that protects all of us from state-sponsored religion.)
actually president Eisenhower was the one who add under God the reason he wanted that in the pledge was to Make us different from communist country. before his term as a president I believe there was no under God in the pledge. so depending in when this movie was made there saying it right.
Oh CT ... Yes sum?..... Lovely Beautiful woman, However I admit I'm annoyed by alot of her movie role choices back then. Not changing my opinion on this either..... Oh and Harry Bellefonte so Dam FINE!!
what other roles do you know that she was offered and refused? how many choices did she have? this was the time of the separate water fountains, waiting rooms etc.... context
@@jewelj7507 right black women including Hattie McDaniel, Lena Horne, Dorothy D, eartha kitt, hell even Dorothy own mother weren’t afforded the same roles as Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor considering it was Jim Crow during these times
If only we could as teachers kept the zeal to keeping teaching, especially grabbing teacable moments,Life is a lively lesson enjoying gratitude and nature🌹🫂✌️🌈👑
For the first time, I see children singing in church and not engaged on their cell phones. LOL!
That's because there wasn't any
There will never be another one like Dorothy Dandridge.
Dorothy was a timeless beauty
Yes she was. I know she dealt with alot of issues but she is my favorite singer and actress
Agreed!
Yes, she was the best of the best, not only in her looks, but in her acting, too. I just hope she knew that.

This is so underrated. I watched this the first time on TCM. It's an example of how a kid just needs one person to believe in him.
One the prettist woman ever Dorothy Dandridge.
Yes she was
What a talented group of young people.
Rene Beard- who played Booker T., was Matthew "Stymie" Beard's brother.
Harry Belafonte and Dorthy Dandridge!
Two of my favorite actors of all time!
💞
What an amazing movie starring the lovely "Dorothy Dandridge"! Her beauty was beyond breathtaking! She was an amazing actress, wife, and mother, and the world truly misses her! RIP beautiful lady!
Teachers today would love a kid this "difficult." He's a piece of cake

CT does not seem "backward" at all. He is the only one who is not a blind follower.
Very moving..... interesting production- brilliant talented sensitive African-Americans & Jews created a film with real integrity and humanity.
she was soooo pretty oh my WORD!!! DOROTHY DANDRIGE
The children are so beautiful and cute.
My mom was teaching at the time that this movie was made. The school in this movie is possibly a Rosenwald School built with funds from the Rosenwald Fund. Mr. Rosenwald was the founder of Sears. My mom dressed similar to Dorothy Dandridge heels included.
I've wanted to see this movie again ever since I saw it when I was a little girl. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Every teacher should watch this.
Óscar Academy please give Dorothy Dandridge an honory Oscar please
I taught grades in a private school from pre-k to 7th grade, but I never had a student like CT!

@@charleBerglund Thank you🤗✌
BEAUTIFUL movie!! just as Dorothy is. thanks for the upload.
The humble times when children had respect for adults.Many old movies reflected Christian values.
Man I miss those days
My mom was teaching about the time that this film was released. She had a wonderful effect on many of her students. And I still run into some of them and they do miss her a lot.
Dorothy Dandridge was so beautiful

You are black royalty for posting this I love you whoever you are and thank you so much❤️🐝🐝🐝🐝
I was so happy for months ago, that this movie was on TH-cam. Now it seems most of the movie has been removed. Luckily, I do have the movie on D.V.D.
CT had was ahead of his age and see for what it is ......real men in a boys body ....he seem wise to me
C.T. said he had coffee with his breakfast. lol! I recorded this one about eight years ago during black history month. I thought it was a sweet movie.
This was actually a good movie
DOROTHY DANDRIDGE WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.
I was watching this movie on TCM last week and was dumbfounded that when the children said the pledge "under God" was not in it. Does anyone know was it in the original version? I can't imagine in 1953 that it would be taken out.
I saw just the ending it seems to have been a great movie
I love this move
Anyone knows the song the kids are singing when they are walking home from school
This is great! Where is part 2
I saw this film with a friend yesterday. A sweet, charming, and classic film. Does anyone know if the main kid actors Philip Hepburn and Barbara Ann Sanders are still living? Did they act in any other films.
Ila Hilda Sissac barbra sanders had a music career back in the day, unfortunately she died of cancer in 2002 or 2003.
I read she died in South Africa in 2002 I believe, on MovieChat.com. But I did not know the cause. Thanks.
I was looking for this movie
I've used to look at that all the time when I was a little girl in the 60s it was wonderful who was the student that died on the show the little girl
I love this film💕💕💕🥺
What did CT's friend die from? The doctor mentioned a virus I think, Did she get a bad case of the flu? Since she was coughing, I thought it was TB.
Rejoice In Paradise Mr. Belafonte - when we all get to heaven.
Golly Gee Wizzers! She's more Prettier than a Plate of Catfish And all the fixing's.
Harry Bellefonte was soo handsome
Well, at least they recited the Pledge of Allegiance correctly. 4:06 . ...Fully within the spirit of Article Six, clause three, of the U.S. Constitution.
UNDER GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:01 Hey Look, Yoann Perrier Sound Effects For Birds
Where is the rest of the movie
Where can I find part 2? It seems like a good show.
Oh that’s wonderful movie
In the pledge of alegence they skipped the line, "under God" 😢
This was good
D Jones You appear to be a very BEAUTIFUL LADY.
Where's part 2🙄?
I thought they took 'under god' out of the pledge of allegiance recently, but i noticed they did not say it here.
actually president Eisenhower was the one who add under God the reason he wanted that in the pledge was to Make us different from communist country. before his term as a president I believe there was no under God in the pledge. so depending in when this movie was made there saying it right.
The movie came out before "under God" was added to the pledge.
@@burgernfries9720 In "Evan Almighty", Morgan Freeman appears as God during the Pledge, saying "one nation, under Me..." Evan passed out!
where are they? Dorothy and the principal, Harry Benelfonte acts as Charles Houston, sup actor.
In His Image refers to our mind and will. Too bad the movie left out accurate, and in the case of CT, comforting, freeing truth.
I got to get this movie
Oh CT ... Yes sum?.....
Lovely Beautiful woman, However I admit I'm annoyed by alot of her movie role choices back then. Not changing my opinion on this either..... Oh and Harry Bellefonte so Dam FINE!!
what other roles do you know that she was offered and refused? how many choices did she have? this was the time of the separate water fountains, waiting rooms etc.... context
Do you mean about Carmen Jones? Well I think Carmen was a very selfish character and not a good woman. Yet she did an amazing work in that movie.
@@jewelj7507 right black women including Hattie McDaniel, Lena Horne, Dorothy D, eartha kitt, hell even Dorothy own mother weren’t afforded the same roles as Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor considering it was Jim Crow during these times
Why is God deleted from the pledge of allegiance ?
God is not "deleted." The "under God" part was added later. What difference does it make?
why did they leave our 'under God'
What year is this? What year was this made?
1953
nice..
*Bright Road* STARING ME
4:15 they left out "under God"
good and historically correct.
A lovely movie, except it would've been right to leave "under God" in the pledge of allegiance.
You don't know justice squat i was there
they were in our freak daydream or nightmares our bridge not vast jan
Do kids still have to pledge allegiance to the flag today?
You dont
