What an excellent movie - as soon as I heard Monty's voice I knew who it was (didn't look at the credits). Ida Lupino is fine - what a mind, what a heart, what a face - triple threat! Thanks for posting this 💖 🇨🇦
Why did she turn to alcohol? Howard was also g. reat. Did his being blackballed affect their marriage? He played Same Spade with great understayed humor. Love that about him.
@@jongirard2753 @Jon Girard Word to the wise: turns out there's two "They Drive By Night" films, one made in 1938 in the UK starring Emyln Wood -- I just watched that one in vain, wondering when Ida Lupino would float onscreen. It can be watched here: th-cam.com/video/tbb35n5BKQg/w-d-xo.html The one with Ms. Lupino was made in 1940, and harder to find free on YT. The trailer is here: th-cam.com/video/p78XR5BbSJk/w-d-xo.html Both have truck driving and crime noir in them, so I'm still happy :)
Great little movie, wonderful script and fantastic acting !! Those days are long gone with all the crap they produce these days for movies..... Thanks for posting much appreciated. *******
Awesome movie came here for Monty Wooley, but left with all the other actors in my heart. During the holidays The man who came to dinner is a must see in my household, the kids love, love it 💝🤗
They'll enjoy. 2. BIGGIES. Most likely! 1930 s NIGHT Work. And all will also enjoy. Judy Garlands. Gay Paris. ' Pare' " so awesome features. JulieKilburn
Ida Lupina was an amazing actress! She was never one of my favorites until recently, watching her movies on TH-cam. Extremely talented unlike today’s actors! Thank you fo this lovely movie 💕
Thank you for this! never saw it or even heard of it - love Ida Lupino and Monty Woolley, both. Agree with comment below - great script and acting. soooo nice! thanks again :)
I think Ida Lupino and I have the same old moto: "Work like a Dog, think like a Man, and act like a lady." Jackie Kennedy did, too. Both accepted that it would be a "man's world" for a long time, but they were too smart to waste energy bellyaching about it. Ida opened her own studio, IdaLou, rather than succumb to being owned by the studios. (Imagine having to get permission to marry, and if you didn't, you were finished). Wilde was so young and handsome, a fine actor and by all accounts, a good person. He has 'good Eyes'. TY for posting this gem!
When Monty Woolley belches at the beginning when he is in Santa's chair, and says "what did you expect madam; chimes" has its roots in a true story. Woolley was attending a dinner party one night and belched rather loudly. One woman was so appalled she glared at him and he glared back and said that line. The other guests were so amused that he insisted the line be written into his next movie, which is this one!
Thank you , I TOTALY am amazed ,one I haven't seen , thank you pizza flixs just a loveing gester I absultly love the 30 s and 40s melodramas , I think I've see them all ,the classics any way. ,just INCASE you find a lovely hear worming it would be very welcoming!
Lupino & Wilde were great but oh how supporting actors Woolley & Allgood have stolen my heart. Love Cooper & Demarest too. Sad story about the love of a child for her alcoholic father but he is clever enough to know who to marry.
My 2nd time enjoying this film. The multi-talented and lovely Ida Lupino was deeply in love with her first husband and Actor Louis Hayward! They were a right match for each other, but WW2 happened and he joined the Marine Corps and came back with 'Battle Fatigue' or 'Shell Shock' as it was referred to back then. Thus, causing their divorce after she tried hard to save it.
I thought of the couple when I saw the name of her production company, IdaLou. Both were excellent actors in any part large or small. Probably not considered great film but in Duke Of West Point there is a touching scene between Sara Algod(sorry misspelled her name) such small body and facial gestures and soft gentle voices that make it a great scene. Imagine what a powerhouse couple they might have been.
Some top acting credentials here. Monty Woolley was a professorial fixture at the Yale Drama School for many years. Ida Lupino's family had been actors going back to Renaissance Italy. Primarily known today as a respected director of feature films ("The Hitch-Hiker," "The Trouble With Angels" ) and TV ("Twilight Zone" "Gilligan's Island," and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents") Ida Lupino was also a highly rated actress, lending her sultry beauty and clear diction to parts ranging from a femme fatale ("They Drive By Night") to broad comedy ("PIllow to Post"). Though it was not generally known, she had had polio in her late teens, and though recovered entirely, the experience must have lent a special dimension to her role as a lame woman in "Life Begins At Eight Thirty."
The Fog Cutter is a vintage tiki cocktail frequently attributed to being invented by Victor Bergeron that calls for a mixture of several liquors (rum, brandy, gin), the juice of lemon and oranges, orgeat syrup, and cream sherry.
Boy, piano playing must have been the talent of one and all seeing how nearly every one of the 3 dozen golden oldies movies I've waded thru in the past weeks has a piano in every apartment and hotel room the story was set in. 😂
Both Cornell Wilde and Ida Lupino appeard on I Love Lucy episodes. That was the first time I'd ever seen them. I had no idea they, along with other actors that appeared on I.L.Lucy were in movies. So glad I can now see them in their glory days playing dramatic parts. So impressed with Lupino being both a very talented actress but also a director. Good for her, breaking through the glass ceiling so early in motion picture history!
Be. Wise Ida and her husband, Howard Duff, appeared on a Lucy Desi Comedy Hour special, which was after the run of the original show. It was set at a lakeside cabin. There were several specials, all filmed at the studio: Fred McMurray hunting for uranium in Vegas, Red Skelton in Alaska, Fernando Lamas at a ski resort, Edie Adams and Ernie Kovacs (the finale). The saddest one was when they ran into Robert Cummings in Japan. Sad because Lucy had filed for divorce during the filming.
I love that he says to his aunt; "Where did you get that hat?, Rosalind Russell?"... ;))) I love "Rosalind's" taste in hats. She can make something that you'd think you'd be uncomfortable in look fabulous, she was definitely a person who could start a trend!(BostonRachel)EDIT:+SHE HAD GREAT TASTE IN CLOTHES, PUTTING OUTFITS TOGETHER...GREAT TASTE IN GENERAL!
Sara Allgood was also the mother in How Green Was My Valley. I learned a line from her in that movie, “Oh, Go blow it out your nose”. I say quite often now
40:49 ..as she's reminding him only to drink lemonade, and he remarks: "How sharper than a serpent's tooth" ... is from Act 1, Scene 4 of King Lear, the same play he's protesting about. The full quote is: "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child".
@Sharon Andrews: Ever seen "The Man Who Came to Dinner" with Monty Wooley, Bette Davis, Billie Burke, Ann Sheridan, and Jimmy Durante? If you like Monty Wooley, you should not miss "The Man Who Came to Dinner." He's the star--his role is bigger than Bette Davis's. She plays his secretary. Excellent movie that one can watch over and over.
Good. I, too, like his professor character in "The Bishop's Wife" but for my money, "The Man Who Came to Dinner" is his best role. ONe of those movies that we can watch many, many times and enjoy it just as much as the first time. I think that must be because of the pacing--the rapid pace at which the story progresses. It's almost frantic, but that's part of the hilarity. Anyway, glad you've seen it.
Absolutely! His delivery is very arch, and every line fairly drips with irony. What he could do with the tone and intonation of his voice was a marvel. A laugh a minute, especially with that fast pace. Worlds of fun! Every time. Cheers!
What a GEM to find hidden away here in TH-cam. I am a "fan" of both "Monty Wooley" of the Whiskers; and a "fan" of "Ida Lupino" and to find these two delightful Actors combining their talents in the One film, which was released way back in 1942, beginning with a Christmas setting.

Hollywood's visuliations of real life tragedy. It's not at all pure fiction. As alcoholism as with other forms of drug abuse can wreck other people's lives both emotionally as well as physically. I do not mean the occasional drinker. I mean real alcoholics.
@@MikeGreenwood51 I did not know the central theme of this film, even as I have avoiding viewing Ida Lupino movies, as, so often, they were too painful. Too, late into this film, I still can't handle it.
Thank you for upload. Wonderfully acted High Class cast with serious acting credits and a very good story line. Alcoholism or addiction was not understood well medically & sadly people didn't know a addiction. What's the time you heard exactly what she says oh Maddy you know that's just Maddie. Sadly that's kind of the way people still are today. and unfortunately the medical community has convinced people that they have no ability to cure themselves. Well the first thing you have to do is make a choice that you will no longer be an addict whatever it is Etc. You don't say I'm going to,, you say I won't. Life is a series of choices. We all make choices every single day some of them are harder than others. Until you make that choice you will never get over whatever it is you're trying to overcome. you are the controller not it controlling you. and it can be anything not just alcohol drugs or food. The strive for perfection watching too much TV playing video games when you should be doing other things possibly because you don't want to be where you really need to be Etc. We have to look at our own life and decide what are we willing to be responsible for and, If you're not willing to be responsible don't mess up other people's lives by sticking around in theirs.. I don't mean committing suicide, and never solves anything, and causes more harm. I mean you move away so that you don't make people feel obligated to care for you or stand on your own two feet dig footholds and climb out of that hole inch by inch. I know what it takes, you don't need the answer why to start working on getting well. You just gotta believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel even if that end of the tunnel is 30 years down the road Remember Inch by inch Life's a cinch Yard-by-yard Life is hard Ukn
What a lovely hopeful, along with life's ups and dones , but it's all how you look at it ,,,,,,,is your cup half empty, or half full ! It's all in how you look at things !!
Like going to Wikipedia checking out the actors in this movies. I was surprised of Ida Lupino who's married to Howard Duff for almost 31 years. I guess I wasn't really surprised but that's part of the fun of going to Wikipedia to see who these stars were married to. And checking out if their children became actors.
when i was a kid, i thought it was so great that she and Howard Duff were together. i thought it was a great match - they just seemed right together. when i was older, i thought the same for Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin. well, so much for the thoughts of kids - i guess i was a real romantic - and still am. i enjoy looking up actor's lives, too. Yule Brynner had a son - 'Rock' Yul Brynner, who became a writer and many other such things. people who are artists often have kids who stay in the business one way or another. :}
I saw her in 1951, a movie she made with Richard Wimark. George Wu, ARCHITECT, A.I.A., NCARB 2018-9-18 And after that I only read about her name as a director, acting no more.
I love these old movies. Thanks for posting.

Ida was a fabulous actress and an amazing woman.
What a wonderful film!
Of course although I'm 62 I consider Ida Lupino one of the most talented female Actors, Producers, and Directors of her time..
Why did she turn to alcohol? Howard was also g.
reat. Did his being blackballed affect their marriage? He played Same Spade with great understayed humor.
Love that about him.
She came from a show business family in Italy.
My heart be still=Cornell Wilde and my heart be still with affection as Monty is so like my father in this film. Thank you for sharing this film!
This is the third Ida Lupino movie I've watched in the last two days. Thank you very much.
If I may suggest, find her movie, "They Drive By Night". One of my favorites of hers. It also stars Humphrey Bogart, George Raft and Ann Sheridan.

Monty Woolley that's enough for me. One of my favorite actors ever.
I for one, am hooked on this channel. Love these old movies. I have had not so good experiences with new ones.
why are there only two movies on this channel? Do they put others on here periodically?
What a fabulous movie, super dialogue... Poignant!
A very young Cornel Wilde. Another film I have never seen before. Ida Lupino was terrific.
Thank you for this! never saw it or even heard of it - love Ida Lupino and Monty Woolley, both. Agree with comment below - great script and acting. soooo nice! thanks again :)
Did you happen to notice the great Cornel Wilde?
I love Ida Lupino. She didn't fight for her rights as a woman. She just believed they were hers, lived accordingly and nobody dared to oppose her. LL
that's the way.
Exactly! Well said!
She was too smart to be 'handled' by some studio big shot, hence she started IdaLou Studios.
At this point she wos a remarcable woman
@@harmoniabalanza I don't know a lot about Ida because I was born in a later time period but she seems to be a good actress.
Enjoyed the film. Ms. Lupino was a very lovely lady, immensely talented.

What about the racism. Let me guess you are caucasian.

"Because I want you for my wife."

The strive for perfection watching too much TV playing video games when you should be doing other things possibly because you don't want to be where you really need to be Etc. We have to look at our own life and decide what are we willing to be responsible for and, If you're not willing to be responsible don't mess up other people's lives by sticking around in theirs.. I don't mean committing suicide, and never solves anything, and causes more harm. I mean you move away so that you don't make people feel obligated to care for you or stand on your own two feet dig footholds and climb out of that hole inch by inch. I know what it takes, you don't need the answer why to start working on getting well. You just gotta believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel even if that end of the tunnel is 30 years down the road Remember
Inch by inch Life's a cinch Yard-by-yard Life is hard

Everyone was great, but Sara Allgood is a treasure. 🌹
Ida looks so young here!
She was only 24 when this was filmed.
What a lovely hopeful, along with life's ups and dones , but it's all how you look at it ,,,,,,,is your cup half empty, or half full ! It's all in how you look at things !!
Like going to Wikipedia checking out the actors in this movies. I was surprised of Ida Lupino who's married to Howard Duff for almost 31 years. I guess I wasn't really surprised but that's part of the fun of going to Wikipedia to see who these stars were married to. And checking out if their children became actors.
That's one of my favorite pastimes as well. I like to read the credits to see how far Hollywood Royalty goes back. Hollywood is very incestuous.
In the 50's they starred on Tv in Mr. Adams & Eve.

She was also one of the first, if not the first female director and she was a genius writer. I admire her hugely.
when i was a kid, i thought it was so great that she and Howard Duff were together. i thought it was a great match - they just seemed right together. when i was older, i thought the same for Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin. well, so much for the thoughts of kids - i guess i was a real romantic - and still am. i enjoy looking up actor's lives, too. Yule Brynner had a son - 'Rock' Yul Brynner, who became a writer and many other such things. people who are artists often have kids who stay in the business one way or another. :}
@@barbaravick5634 you're right. i forgot she was one of the first women directors - thanks :}
Very good 👍
as a former actress, I am so down with 8:30. The magic no one can understand, unless they've been in theater. Only in these times it's 8:00?
A rather sentimental 1940s view of alchohol addiction. But a good movie, non-the-less.
He wasn't an alcoholic, he was sprayed with ant pheromones and he became confused and psychotic..🙉🙉🎅🎅🎅🤶🛸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👸👸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🤶🎅🙉
I saw her in 1951, a movie she made with Richard Wimark. George Wu, ARCHITECT, A.I.A., NCARB 2018-9-18 And after that I only read about her name as a director, acting no more.
Superb.
This movie is like Arthur and Bad Santa rolled into one.
Thanks you
