I remember my grandparents having their own separate rooms but yet they were very happy together
In those movies, they spoke each word so clearly.
orientlover1 without foul language
@@marybruun9621 now that F... word almost comes naturally from leading characters.
There were dialogue directors who taught actors how to speak in standard accent and shun their regional accents.
@@orientlover1 that's so interesting
Yes, every coma, question mark so clearly awesome.
Funny how television portrayed married couples back then. Not just separate beds, but separate rooms! Which in reality isn't necessarily a bad thing. "Everyone needs time away, even lovers need a holiday" 🎵🎶 😉👍
no. civilized people had separate bedrooms. it was normal.
@@anastasia10017 my grandparents had separate bedrooms
That's why marriages last long in those times.
Very good idea, together but separate.
All the long-lasting marriages I know (25+ years) have separate bedrooms. A good nights sleep makes every-day annoyances easier to tolerate!
You don't know what you've got til it's gone..my husband of 39 years died 2 years ago and I miss so many little things..I never knew just how truly much of "one mind " we really were...
😟
🙏🥀🕊️💛🕊️🥀🙏
Memories remain
Its sad
I'm so very sorry for your sad loss ... and totally understand what you say x
So true .... I am so very sorry for your loss xx
Crazy Bella Kim... My heart goes out to you. 💔 I'm going through the exact same thing. 🤔 I knew I'd miss him but this is ridiculous. We knew each other's bits and inside jokes that only we found funny. We were 2 peas in a pod, partners in crime, soul-mates, besties .💔 Sending you hugs and healing vibes. I make it through only with God's help. 💔
I appreciate these films so much, a whole lot better than the crap we get served daily..
Vera Witteveen Hitchcock rules! 😂🥰
@@KDL861 absolutely! ❤️
You don't have to "eat" what you're served.
I agree. So happy for youtube
You are So Right :)
I love Barbara's soft, sing-song voice.
Kinda "Ms. Elllie-like". Lolol
Funny how he doesn't trust his wife in his study but has more faith in the maid. But then wants his wife to trust him by drinking whatever he brings her....What joker
A domineering chap living a fantasy reality.
Narcs being narcs, and sometimes psycho killers as well.
It’s a film !!!
This wife is like the sweetest thing on earth. Yet surprisingly bright. The husband is obsessed. I do love the ending though...
Don't be fooled ... 😁
Barbara Bell Geddes is the best actress of the 50s/60s and dominated as Miss Ellie in the 70s on Dallas! Fabulous actress who was amazing in Vertigo, another Full length Hitchcock masterpiece!
70s/80s on Dallas
I never liked her until I started watching the Dallas clips on FB. Her very subtle anger and firmness make her good to watch. Shes gentle, but has almost as much business knowledge as Jock or JR. Its impressive. I am Miss Ellie fan now.
Hitchcock was a genius🙌
Sometimes, you don’t know what you got until it’s gone😂
I love her voice , so sincere, so patient and understanding. And clear, too. I sure love her acting talent. 💜🙋♀️
She was in Hitchcock's Vertigo, and also played the matriarch on Dallas
Her voice is so distinctive-even in radio plays it’s clear who’s speaking.
Ssse
Barbara Bel Geddes was also in I Remember Mama with the great Irene Dunne.
Don’t mess with Miss Ellie!
I love how if you say "darling" enough times its ok to talk about the decimation of your partner..
😅
Ahh; she was too good for him. (*actually, she's too good for most
guys. A lady, and a babe*)
Aaahhh @ her death gone gone he realizes "I should have said I love you"...she met all his self-centered needs perfectly...
That husband makes me sick! What a drama queen!!!
I was JUST Thinking...
Gawd! What a Drama King...
Questionable Acting...
He is isn't he?
I would love to kick his ass.
I agree with 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌✌
If I was an Actress, I would've loved to be under the Direction of IDA LAPINO!! What a genius!
Absolutely! she also directed a few Boris Karloff Thriller and Twilight Zone episodes, too. I remember the TZ episode she starred in but don't remember the name. Will have to look up. She played aging movie queen who longed to return to her past. "Sixteem milimeter" something.
So. What caused the wife's death?
I agree! She directed movies too. But it's Ida Lupino.
@@sharonzimmerman5558 The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine. It's my favorite now because I want to go back too. I just put it on.
@@susanb2015 ha! I hear you!
LOL. He actually wrote down his murder plans in his diary, just in case he forgot...
I know. What a selfish idiot.
That Was a Stupid Thing to do !! 🤪
Yes, the enunciation was flawless. Barbara Bel Geddes - what a great actress. Try to find her in Hitchcock’s Lamb to the Slaughter written by Ronald Dahl.
Roald Dahl - to correct autocorrect. . .
@@barbaramoore6111 That's why it's actually called "auto complete." It's not always correct. Far from it.
Vertigo
How clever, Sybilla...the female Oracle's of Greek mythology
I'll always remember Barbara Bel Geddes for her performance as Midge, Jimmy Stewart's artist friend in "Vertigo." A hard role to play and he did it masterfully.
Miss Ellie on "Dallas"
the lamb to the slaughter with Ms. Bel Geddes is my very favorite episode this is a good one too
I loved the one Alfred Hitchcock episode when she clubbed her husband over the head with a club of frozen lamb cuz he was leaving her for another woman while she's pregnant
That is my favorite!
And she served the lamb to the detectives investigating the death of her husband, if I remember correctly.
It was also an episode of Tales of the Unexpected recently on Sky Arts.
That episode was entitled, "Lamb to the Slaughter" aired in 1958. I actually heard of that in real life too many years ago. I don't know if it is true but it could happen- eating the evidence. That episode was one of favorites too.
@@margaretkearsey734 Right. A lady actually got rid of her hubby by clubbing him with a piece of frozen meat. Was in the paper in the States.
Of course this man would want to leave the perfect wife. Some are never happy.
…BTW the background music is everything
Actor Alexander had an amazing voice and was one of my favorite actors from this time period. He narrated the ENTIRE KJV version of the bible, which is my preferred selection of bible study and reading on TH-cam.
Alexander Scourby - great narration voice.
We never know how much we really have until we lose it...
Directed by the great Ida Lupino 🤩
Lost spouse of 34yrs. I relish the dreams that the ole family scripture calls visions. So very grateful these have morphed into ' real life' experiences.
Aren’t they the best films ever 💯💯👍
Dora Gibbons Ditto
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
Always
👌💯
They sure are dora well said
The music in this is outstanding! And so much story in 10 minutes!
This show was on TV when I was a real little kid, and it really scared me.
I recognized Alexander Scorby’s voice before I recognized his face. His voice is incredibly famous for narration of the entire New Testament on tape.
How ironic that here, he narrates the tale of a villain.
the entire Bible (KJV) narrated by him is on TH-cam
Scourby, not Scorby, for anyone who is going to look for his narrations.
Inkyguy, That's Alexander Scorby? I didn't recognize the voice at all. By the way, he does the entire bible. Not just the New Testament.
@@mildredpierce4506 Me neither and I have listened to him often
I think it was a beautiful story...sometimes u can have a wonderful person in your life, and not realize it.
Not realize it? He tried to kill her!
It wasn't beautiful, but it hopefully teach people to take no one or nothing for granted.
@@JaneEva He didn't realize how good of a wife he had until it was to late. Did you watch it until the end?
U r funny!🌝🌞
Oh now I get!
He was suffering from paranoid delusions, and his wife figured that out, and tried to help him. No sleeping meds anywhere. No drug addiction. Truly a good woman. He finally got it.

FINALLY A SHOW I CAN WATCH..... I'm so tired of the mainstream TV that tries to push woke diversified shows that are not funny and suck !!! I'M not racist just want to see good shows.....and the old ones are so much better.....thank you uploader !!!!!
It's not just the garbage mainstream TV, it's commercial stations pushing worthless programming, it's the constant commercial interruptions. Frankly, I used to feel that the only way I could explain the programming was to think that a dump trunk unloaded a truck load of manure every night into the TV set. For that reason, I haven't watched mainstream TV in three years. I can find plenty of alternatives on Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Sport's channels.
Donovan Primm yea the only mainstream media I really love is TCM.
I recommend The Jeffersons then. Great TV. Just a bit diversified.
@@OrangeTabbyCat I loved the Jeffersons & Sanford & Son...those are great clean entertainment.....those were nnot forced upon us....we warched & loved them....but today everything has to be so Diverse and forced.... its not funny and I'm sorry but not every family in America has 1 black , 1 white , 1 India , 1 asian , and 1 LGBQTRSP.in them....or 2 Moms or 2 Dads...and all the children are different races & they're all gay.... This is the sort of things im talking about.....the majority of families are one color ....or have a mixed parent.... they are trying to make us all confusingly mixed and at least half of them are gay or Trans.... OH AND EVERYBODY IS WOKE IN THOSE SHOWS ( Theyre total crap ! ) Thanks for your comment !... Have a great day !!!
@David Hargreaves Really ???? That is so sad.....sorry to hear ....I figured UK telly was way better....Question is when & why is the 3 % Controlling what we watch & say & do in this world?? I know the government or the ELITES started indoctrinating our children 2 -3 decades ago but GEEZ ...is that all it takes to ruin a Country is 20 to 30 years ????? I have never seen so many people ...especially in America be sooooo Dumb so fast !!!! BTW Thanks for your comment ...have a great day ! And yes im in America 🇱🇷
I’ve never watched her in anything before she was Miss Ellie in Dallas! That’s a great video! 👍🏻
Barbara Bel Geddes was in many episodes. She was in Vertigo also...
You out there in unhappy alliances 🤔 sometimes its better to get a divorce
Somebody should have told Scott Peterson that. It's scary how many women never suspected their husband would prefer murder to divorce.
Or Christopher Watts
Sometimes that isn't enough.
Isnt that lady who played d character of bobby ewings mother of dallas?
She refuses a divorce he says so in the beginning
Love Alfred Hitchcock!!
And he would have loved you right back if you'd been a blonde young actress.
Geesh
the wife is the same actress who played on Dallas as the mother
Miss Ellie
Miss Ellie.
I knew I recognised her. Thanks.
tlc tlc yes we know..
@@mejuffrouwvandalen, they're just trying to win the grand prize on "Trivia For Dummies"!
Barbara Bel Geddes did several Hitchcock shows. Her Most memorable, I think, was "Lamb to the "Slaughter ". Anybody Remember That One? I think that episode won an Emmy Award.
It's a great epsiode.
@@ConnieM777 she always did great Hitchcock episodes. "Mourning of the Bride" was another. I just think "Lamb to the Slaughter " was best known. It's s actually been referred to in other TV shows over the years.
sharon zimmerman That was great! I love the twist.
I love her
Vertigo. She was jimmy Stewart's friend in the mov
I love Barbara Bel Geddes. Just a wonderful actress. If you haven't seen "I Remember Mama", look for it.
David Yes! Thank you for saying that. With Irene Dunne. Wonderful movie way before Dallas for sure.
She was in Vertigo with Jimmy Stewart, wasn't she?
Elaine Fifield yes! She was in love with Jimmy Stewart and he was completely oblivious.
Thanks. I was wondering if she was from Dallas.
Wifey was so nice and polite. If only he knew this of her. Now he sad🤔.
I Love this one !
All she did, was to Love
Him ! 💕💕💕
I love the old style, the furnishings, the two-button light switches (yes, I remember them), but I wonder how someone would make a copy of a diary before photocopiers were invented?
Electrophotography was invented in 1937.
"Oh, I miss her. Miss her as I've never missed anyone. The way she had of always being there when I wanted her. And of disappearing when I wanted to be alone. She was a perfect wife." Yikes!!! 😒💀😐💀
How to drive your husband insane and convinced your out to kill him? Be the perfect doting caring wife!
Yes. Until my husband realized that I'm just a sweet person to those close to me and have good manners in general he didn't trust me at all (way before we were married). His parents have a hateful marriage though and both sides of his family are full of narcissists and weasels, so he grew up exposed to it from all sides.
Wow, never seen Barbara Bel Geddes so young & beautiful with lovely long hair. She’s wonderful in Vertigo as the smart, yet lovelorn Midge, yearning for Johnny/Scotty, who was infatuated & obsessed with the mysterious Madeline.
She's younger but, for some reason,. Barbara Bel Geddes always looked middle-aged to me. She didn't stand a chance against Kim Novak in "Vertigo".
@@jonwiley2592 We’re used to seeing Barbara in her most popular role as Ewing family matriarch on “Dallas”. Yes, poor Midge. Men always go for beauty over brain. But even after Scotty lost Madeline twice, he still returns to Midge, but broken-hearted and tormented for life.
@@jonwiley2592 I thought the same thing.
Also with Richard Widmark in
PANIC IN THE STREETS
@@devydu not me
I just love those old movies!!!
Movies? Or television shows?
This episode is so heavy in truth even if a bit exaggerated but part of everyday relationship realities, the paranoia, lack of perspective and questioning we experience sometimes just in our head only when sometimes it's too late till we notice what we have or had right in front of us. The ending is stunning.
Paranoia and gaslighting are not part of everyday relationship realities. You might need to talk to a psychologist about this.
I thought I've seen them all... I don't remember this one...
miss elie
Well he was crazy. He was pretty mean to her. Smh. She was pretty smart.
Barbara bel geddes was so wonderful. What a woman! Most people know her as Ms Ellie from Dallas.
Excellent! What a treat to have in my morning recommendations! Thank you for posting with such good quality, too.
THE ENIGMA: A MAN HAS TO BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE IT TAKES A WOMAN DUMB ENOUGH TO LOVE HIM TO BE A PERFECT WIFE FOR HIM.
Yet he is not contempt
Social constructs may have made her a loyal, dutiful wife looking after her husband's needs before her own.
@@shebastinson7813 *content
I can’t hear you ?
A WEAK* MAN
Barbara Bel Geddes episode LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER was another classic where she was a perfect wife...
Barbara Bel Geddes was a wonderful beautiful lady. She seems the perfect wife in this episode. He should have devoted his life to her happiness.
Another good one, I love Barbara Bel Geddes. Good actress, even on Dallas, thank you B
This was soooo good!
Moral of the story....... You never miss a good thing until it is gone, sometimes your absence if all the punishment of a lifetime, especially if you KNOW who you were to a person. Stay good, good people 💯
Barbara bel Geddes was a fine actress. She had a pivotal role in Vertigo
The 2 men best known for the twist: Chubbey Checkers and of course Alfred Hitchcock
What a good short film and unfortunately it's so true. We're all when lose someone who was truly love us too late to see how we were so wrong to not love them as much as they are loved us .
Barbara is smashing here. I previously only have seen her in much later productions. I never realized the episodes of this show were only 12 minutes running length. It has been ages since I saw it on tv.
This is the craziest thing I have ever seen! 🤣 But I loved it!🤣
This was a great one.. one of the best
Just came across these and watched a few, love them! Always loved Alfred Hitchcock...id sit w my great grandma and watch him, she introduced me to his spooky unusual taste
He was considered a directing genius back in his day and much of the principles he developed and practiced are still used today. He was known as the master of suspense.
I don’t blame her for having separate bedrooms
Love 💘 these old shows.
Bring back tons of great memories
The twistiness of Hitchcock lives on!
Lord Alfred Hitchcock.
short but sweet. I loved this.
How sad. =( don't know what you've got till it's gone.
And then she went on the become the matriarch of the Ewing family.
Has anybody noticed how many episodes have used the same bed? I have seen at least 7 and the reason why is it is unusual looking french provincial.
Ty,for the upload!
This is an episode I’ve been searching for!👀
Barbara G.,also starred in Dallas A hudge success TV series for many yrs.
Most of us know that!
......and your point is?!
As usual, perusing comments before the story begins.
Its not bad thing at all.
But sometimes is great to jump into black water hehe
I do this all the time lol
Hehe
Great episode. Barbara Bel Geddes, such a beautiful lady and lovely actress. 😊
She was in another Hitchcock episode "Lamb To The Slaughter" where she kills her husband.
I watch Miss Ellie and the rest of the Ewing's on Dallas almost ever other night.
Yes i also remember Barbara Bel Geddes, years later on the show "Dallas".
Wait! Is this Miss Ellie 😳
@@user-rd6dh4hq1j it sure is!
@@user-rd6dh4hq1j
Yes Miss Ellie! 🙂
Love Barbara Bel Geddes!
🙏🥀🕊️💛🕊️🥀🙏
Not just twin beds but separate bedrooms? No problems in this marriage!
This ending makes me almost cry 😢 so sad. They should have had more trust with each other. That’s the key for a good marriage. That’s how mine is for the past 26 years. BTW, it’s unrealistic when in the 50s and 60s films never showed married couples in the same bed in the same room. Especially when the spouse is ill, you’d think the partner would be in the same bed, as close as possible. This is what my husband and I do when either one of us gets sick. Nowadays in films even unmarried couples share the same bed. It’s not taboo anymore. Thank God !
God isnt into unmarried sharing a bed.
@@sheliapea1387 OMG. Who is this? What are you talking about ?
These two are married
Wealthy people usually have their own rooms.
This is like a Readers Digest condensed version of the full story.
I have not heard those words in a very long time. I loved reading them
Love AH ! I love how the piano gets really low when smthg bad is gonna happen!
Fascinating. I vaguely remember this from long ago I think in the 80s.
Never seen this episode until just now with this upload.... looks to be one of the tragic ones. Another sad episode features Clu Gulager as an escaped con who makes his way to the home of a lonely middle aged woman who, unbeknownst to him, had been his lovelorn pen pal whom he corresponded with while he was in jail ; she had sent him a photo of a beautiful young woman claiming that it was a picture of herself. The audience, likewise, doesn't discover this until the very end of the episode. Barbara Bel Geddes originated the role of Maggie Pollitt in the original Broadway production of "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" opposite Ben Gazarra as Brick.
This is one of my favorites. I've dvr'd Hitchcock & watch 2 shows every day. The twist at the end always gets you. Definitely entertaining..
Twist?
Are you a nerd find a life

Jock would never get so upset with her
Barbara Bel Geddes was also in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo with James Stewart and Kim Novak. She was also in I Remember Mama, and another movie with
Henry Fonda, I don't remember the title.
This movie was from 1960 and apparently then they knew spouses can commit murder yet so many decades went by where no one looked for spouses who supposedly just disappeared. I don’t understand why he was trying to kill her in the first place.
Other than "Dallas", I remember B.B.G., I REALLY loved her in "I remember Mama", (1948) I ABSOLUTELY loved her.....along with Irene Dunn (Mama), Philip Dorn (Papa), Cedric Hardwicke & my favorite character, Oskar Homolka (Uncle Chris), Ellen Corby (Aunt Trina) & Edgar Bergen, (Candace Bergen's real life father) (Mr. Thorkelson) & Barbara O'Neil (Jessie Brown). This is a FANTASTIC MOVIE !! It takes place in San Francisco 1900.
Fiddlesticks to anyone who watches this and does not "get" the plot. It was perfectly understandable AND entertaining - kinda like a great snack between lunch and dinner!
An Edgar Allen Poe gothic, yet O. Henry short-short story with an ironic twist ending.
The pre and post Donna Reed as 'Miss Ellie' !
Barbara Bel Geddes was nominated for one Oscar for her supporting role in I Remember Mama in 1949, but she didn't win.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Chris N Think I met Bel Geddes once, an apartment
dweller as Louise Fletcher
was. I liked that humility.

If Barbara Bel Geddes was still alive, she'd turn 100 years old on October 31 this year (but she died in 2005). Good actress, although I never watched "Dallas," so am not familiar with her acting there.
There when I need her, she disappears when I want to be left alone: The Perfect Wife. haha
