@@miapdx503 I just saw that one the other day for the first time too. I thought I saw every movie there was with Stanwyck and Taylor. Don't know how I missed both these movies, but they were great.
1964 I was 16 years old. I saw this at the movies. I was taken aback by the storyline, Shelley Winters is magnificent. Sad in many cases but nevertheless a movie I never forgot and it’s 16 it really made a unique impression on me. The song itself became a song I truly love through the years and obviously sung by others. It’s funny how certain things just get stuck in your head And you never forget
I was 17 in 64! I agree on how certain movies, songs all made impressions! I can hear an old 60s song and remember where I was when it was playing. and what I was doing. and friends I was with stayed with me! 🤗
A House is Not a Home is my all-time favorite Bacharach-David who are my all-time favorite writer, arranger, composer, lyricist of any era. So much nostalgia and emotion in the song. Burt does it solo on TH-cam at age 92. I'm 77 and it tears me up every time I listen.
I can't believe that I hadn't ever seen this movie. I am 59 and love all of the old movies . What a treat thank you for taking the time to find hit and download and sharing. I have really enjoyed it , I will be calling my mom and telling her about it , she will be 79 in September . Thank you Jesus for letting her be with her loved ones .
I remember Kaye Ballard from the 60's tv show The Mother in Laws. I was recovering from appendicitis surgery in the hospital and I tried watching it and thought I was going to rip my stiches open. It was hilarious.
It doesn't have to continue defining her if she can get past it. Self forgiveness and self acceptance goes a long way. Your past is part of your past but YOU ARE NOT your past. Profound movie. Loved it!
Yeah you are. Because you have to live with the CONSEQUENCES of the events of your past. Also, you talk as though you have no conscience. You are saying you can beat up another person, put them in a wheelchair, and then you can carry on living your life happily because of “self forgiveness and you are not your past”. Sorry, but what you say is just not true.
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree yes, i kind of agree.... go back to what anyway, the light side of depravity rather than the dark side of depravity, which is a truth that is revealed to one on the dark side of depravity... there is salvation possble, but only in what Christ taught us... not in so-called respectable society.
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree Its you who said something that's not true. This movie is not about some violent lunatic who beats people up and puts them in wheel chairs. When you accuse someone of saying something they didnt say then claiming they don't have a conscience says something about you.
Yeah, that Frank was just a big, old, pi. mp. He controlled people throughout the entire movie. Casey needs a stronger, self-assured person to marry, not Polly.
The opening song is beautiful - I'm singing it in my head the way Luther Vandross remade it!! Beautiful!! RIP Mr. Vandross - One the best singers of all time!! ♥️
As good as he was brook Benton had a much wider range he sings this well not to mention the million other songs he did not to take away from Luther but I think even he'd put Benton up as a n influence
This movie was simply incredible; it was intense, hard-hitting, the girls were beautiful, well written, superbly acted and true to life. I plan to watch it again...one heavy film...
"We don't know enough about life to fear death." So true. This is a remarkable film touching on many aspects of life, the fears, the longings, and the love.
I just came across this movie in lockdown. I lime shelly winters. I think that all young people should watch this. Ive never done drugs except wine lol, but seriously these ol movies were the future!!! I lose myself in these movies as very depressed in lockdown. Im stuck in England and my Sons are American. . Thank you so much if you are still alive for posting this movie ♥️
LOVE , LOVE , LOVE ANYTHING , SHELLEY WINTERS.............................this is a movie , I had never seen before and I've seen many . this is AMAZING..........black and white , no special effects , no overt sex sceenes and no over the top violence . just great acting , scripts , costumes and sets ............... this " flick " was definitely ahead of it's time . THANK YOU , FOR BRINGING THIS TO US...............
Thanks for all your wonderful movies Chris. Also appreciate the short forwards you provide too, makes it easier to decide if the movie's my cup of tea or not.Thanks again.
I so agree I’d rather watch these movies instead of the crap they have today being born in the 60’s I got to watch these kind of movies with my mom always makes me sad because she’s no longer with me but she’s with me watching these amazing classics
If you people can’t find a good, current, movie to watch, then you’re not trying. It’s just lazy to say that there aren’t any worth watching. Nostalgia is a trap, taking you to a place that never was.
This movie is like glue...you just stick to it to find out how it is going to end. Nothing dull about it! Shelly Winters played the part perfect. Worth watching everyone." A real Film Noir!".
Shelly Winters and Shirley Booth are two of my favourite actresses of their time. So sad that now a days they are not given their dues. These older movies have a heart that most movies these days don’t have, money driven as opposed to story/ quality driven.
The opening song is just one of so many great songs wrote back in those days, my Parents danced in our Living Room all the time whether it was in the morning or at noon and at night and that great Music playing and making all those memories of watching my parents dancing and kissing and it made me so happy my Parents loved each other so much and they had tons of records and that is what made our home and I always sang like my Parents did and it fed my soul and made us grow and become real people my brothers and I were born in the 1940's , 43, 44, 45. Those were better years then you think and people had jobs and cars and could buy a home and have nice clothes and kids and go on vacations and eat good food. My Mom could buy a steak that hung over a dinner Plate and look what you get today for one the size of the palm of a hand. So thank god I was born in those times we had a lot to be grateful for and we were.!!!!!
Her body of work in the 60s alone is astonishing: A Patch of Blue, Alfie, The Chapman Report, The Scalphunters, Wild in the Streets, Lolita, Buona Sera, Mrs Campbell, Harper and The Balcony.
@M M And won her SECOND Oscar for "A Patch of Blue" ! A wacky personality at times off screen but she was one gifted actress ! She's spell binding in 1951's "A Place in the Sun" !!
Jubal Calif Agreed. Thank you for your excellent comment ....and Polly Adler’s book on which the film is based is well worth a read, or reread. Take care. It’s chaotic here in midtown manhattan.... nobody knows what the hell is going on with the imbecile at the helm. Miss Jenny
@@joyceellis7612 I found Let No man...to be almost campy with Little Nicky and the legless guy Wart and Jean Seberg seemed out of place. Watch another B/W Shelley Winters film The Young Savages (1961) with Burt Lancaster it was directed by John Frankenheimer and has some great on location shooting in NY's Spanish Harlem; it's about juvenile delinquency and gang warfare. There's a great copy of it on TH-cam!
A friend recommended A House is Not a Home to me, and it looks great. I’ve subscribed to your channel and want to thank you for such an outstanding selection. Your work is appreciated!
Shelly remarked it was like a sin to be POOR, in the 20's & 30's. BEING POOR IS AWFUL IN ANY ERA OF TIME. Great movie. Shelly, may she RIP, was one of my favorite actors.
LS: Perhaps you and MM need to move in more diverse circles and expand your knowledge base. It seems, based on you comments, you're stuck in a certain demographic and have your own perception/definition of "poor". "I have worked with 'poor people'. " Wow, just wow! SMH
That was one of my favorite lines in this movie too. I think what she meant is you're not loved or respected if you're poor. It's sad that some people turn their noses up at poor people. It's even worse when you go to church and someone whom is supposed to be a Christian turns their nose up just because that poor person didn't have nice clothes or a nice car. To me that's heart breaking. I don't think women should be treated like this ever. I believe in God and I believe in the devil and demons .... and believe me for a man to treat a woman like this all they are is just evil perverted demons. This is a sad movie to me. Although Shelly Winters is a phenomenal actress in this movie. She was one of the best actresses ever . May she RIP .
Fab movie! Thought I'd watched all of Shelly Winters films but this was a classic! Enjoyed all of the acting and think the story line was NOT predictable! There were certainly enough surprises to keep me very interested. Thanks for posting & sharing. You have a remarkable collection and I will always look forward to watching anything in your collection in the future.Thanks again!
I just heard of Polly Adler because someone wrote a book about her that's coming out now. I googled and found this movie. Thanks for posting! PS: I have always loved that song "A House is Not a Home". Never knew it was written to be the theme song for a movie of the same title!
For some reason, TCM will not come in for me lately so i searched this out. I'm so glad I did. Thanks so much for uploading these. These are all the m0vies TCM doesn't play. I haven't seen many of these. I thought I saw them all.
Wow! Powerful movie.., I went in having no idea what it was about and saw Shelly Winters and figured it'd be good. Love a movie that surpasses expectations. Not to mention, it used the original Burt Bacharach - and later Luther Vandross CLASSIC!
Heartbreaking how girls are still doing the same “tricks” with the same devastating consequences No girls grows up hoping to be a prostitute... too many are abused at an early age, I pray for the hurting women who feel they have no other options and just wish I had more money to open a safe place for them , to be protected from those who profit off of their bodies
always loved shelly winters .she was so beautiful and talended she was great in night of the hunter ,but she was good ineverything .thanks for sharing .that is the way of pigs
The Hal David / Burt Bacharach title song was written for the movie. Beautiful song. Touching movie and performance by Shelley. And casting Winters as Polly couldn't have been better.
im 39 y.o. regular guy and I agree fully with all those folks that say THIS was real cinematic entertainment! The movies satanic Hollywood puts out today are vile, awful, BORING garbage!...TY @Chris Johnson for posting such a gem!
Just now I know the meaning of this Song a house is not a home ..I just heard is from olds singing this song and behind it there's a movie a story😄 nice people so classy and the posture the way they stand as actors so natural.
Uau... finally somebody had unpload this movie. Shelley is excellent as allways she was. The future star Raquel Welch as one of the Polly´s girls. And... the beautiful stand Bacharach/David´s theme sung by Brook Benton.
My big sister and mother took us to see this at the local drive-in (Manahawkin, NJ, LBI Mainland). Dad was pissed for its inappropriateness. I was only 11, my brother, 14. Can remember any of it. From 1964. (This is Oct. 2019) That was over 55 years ago.
A little uneven at times but still a very good movie overall . It can be very very Hard for most people who become "tarnished" or corrupted, to obtain redemption . A bad reputation is difficult to wipe away or overcome in this world. In that sense the film is very realistic so definitely recommend this movie as 'worth watching'.
All this time up until now i thought that song was a original from Luther Vandross, wow amazing, i still love the way he did it and this rendition is good as well i really love that song.
That is sooooo true! These people and their fake chiclet-white veneers look ridiculous. If I were young I’d go into Dentistry, there’s going to be some fallout from all these whitening techniques.
BROOK BENTON singing the original recording of this BACHARACH/DAVID classic which has grown in stature to become a vocal yard stick that great singers measure themselves against .
In the 60s alone she appeared in this film as well as Lolita, Alfie, A Patch of Blue, The Mad Room, Wild in the Streets, Harper, Buona Sera Mrs Campbell, Let No Man Write My Epitaph, the Scalphunters and The Chapman Report.
The man at 46:33....isn't that Broderick Crawford? If so, I saw him when I was 6, or 7yrs old. I barely remember it, but he came to my home town, in S.C.. He was at the Chevrolet dealership..signing autographs, on pictures of himself. He was shooting this pistol..which had blanks in it. He did a lot of talking about some role he playing. I still don't know why he came there, since it was a very small town. Mama kept that picture a long time, but I never saw it again after we moved to Florida. The thing I remember the most...was him firing that loud pistol.
I know a woman who is 99 right now, I keep her company by reading stories to her. And she was a child when her mother ran a rooming house back in the 20’s and 30’s. And she was saying back in those days all the little guys were greasing palms with Some of the police officers, some of the gangsters, and some of the politicians. This rooming house that her mother ran used to make bootleg liquor, and the desk sergeant at one of the police departments will call her and let her know when there was going to be a raid. Those days sure were something, and I love hearing the stories!
I just turned 71, and I NEVER saw this. MARVELOUS movie! It made my month!!
Have you seen Walk on the Wild Side? If you like this you'll LOVE that one.😏

I grew up with the Dionne Warwick version. BEAUTIFUL!!!
I agree, Luther made this song his own.
I also love Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick's version of this wonderful song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
Agree
Wow. So intense. Don't understand why i'd never heard of this movie before. Everyone should see it. Thanks so much, Chris Johnson!
Very sad. No family support or
this is the first time I've watched this movie and I love it and I am a fan of Shelley Winters!!!!!!! Great Movie

How right you are ! At home I more watch vintage flicks on TCM or vintage shows on those retro networks then that new stuff being produced !!

Brilliant movie thanks 💯💞
I looove black and white movies!!! Thank you Chris for your effort, it makes so many of us so happy! Thank you again😘
B and W have a good story line and not much sex, crime and violence
Especially the "pre-code" movies. Movies were a lot more lively back then. th-cam.com/video/BVQFQBluIV0/w-d-xo.html
I have a notion to second that emotion !!
Burt Bacharach composed the marvelous them song and Ms. Dianne Warwick sung this most amazingly in the world... Thank you for uploading the movie...

1967 is the Summer of Love. 1969 is Woodstock & Charles Manson
Wow, wasn’t expecting something so heavy, great film, thank you!
This is gritty stuff. I hadn't seen it.
Ms. Winters is amazing. Glad to find another of her films. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
That was an amazing movie! Thank you!!!
Tear jerking ending. Shelley Winters deserve more awards and reputation for her range of acting.
Thanks for the spoiler.
Wow, I have never seen these old movies being that I don't watch much TV and I am really starting to enjoy them. Simply Amazing.♥️💯
Nice lol movie. Thanks for sharing! I love the old black n white movies. Everything was so different.
Great movie. Never heard of it before now. Thanks for the upload! ✌️

Thank you again for another great classic 💜💜

Absolutely fabulous actor's. All at the top of their game. Taylor has aged , by this time . Still he looks good.
Great film ! Thank you for posting.

Her given name was Pearl which is what she have been called in the beginning of the film, Her LATER friend nicknamed her Polly

The struggle is real and it is timeless. Great movie.
Heartbreaking how girls are still doing the same “tricks” with the same devastating consequences
No girls grows up hoping to be a prostitute... too many are abused at an early age, I pray for the hurting women who feel they have no other options and just wish I had more money to open a safe place for them , to be protected from those who profit off of their bodies

"Night Of The Hunter"........a fascinating work of art!!!!
Sad story but great movie!
The Hal David / Burt Bacharach title song was written for the movie. Beautiful song. Touching movie and performance by Shelley. And casting Winters as Polly couldn't have been better.
Another great song by the incredible Bacharach and David.
An old film now but surprisingly modern in its themes. Excellent.
EXCELLENT MOVIE.ONE HAS TO FEEL SAD FOR THESE GIRLS,THEY DONT HAVE IT EASY.THANK YOU

Can you point out where Raquel appears? I couldn't spot her.
I could not spot her either and she is not listed in the credits........ YES SHE IS....MY MISTAKE.............
mizfrenchtwist...She's listed, as one of Polly's girls.
oh....... o.k. I see her name now .... thank you so much...........great movie , they don't make 'em like this anymore , a shame really............
I got a glimpse of Raquel Welch but I think she was only in one scene. She had short dark hair.
R.I.P. Kaye Ballard (1925-2019). She appears at 4:24 in the sweatshop.
Kaye was the BEST !!

All this time up until now i thought that song was a original from Luther Vandross, wow amazing, i still love the way he did it and this rendition is good as well i really love that song.
you should never give anyone such a strong hold over your life!! whatever decisions you make you should make them because you wont get hurt or lose
We don't know enough about life to be sad about death.......
Thank you Chris!
2:17 am I watched this movie when I was 12 yrs old and I never forgot it and how sad her choices made her. I love the song no matter who sings it
So many awesome 1960s Character actors. Even Dr Bellows! Great movie. Ms Winters should've been nominated for an Academy Award Best Actress
my late mom loved any movie with shelley winters. that's how i fell in love with her movies, thanks. mom. rip.
Wow this really kept my attention!!!👍🏾
First time seeing this one. Shelly was such a versatile actress. Never seen her so elegant.
How nice to see stars with perfectly normal teeth!
And not inflated lips!!!!!
That is sooooo true! These people and their fake chiclet-white veneers look ridiculous. If I were young I’d go into Dentistry, there’s going to be some fallout from all these whitening techniques.
I never even heard of this movie up until now. I checked this out on line and topic of this movie was pretty risque for those days.
Wow 👏 what a film! Thx.,,
Just read a great quote my Shelley Winters..."I'm not fat I'm just 9ins too short!".
Great quote!! Thanks for sharing that!
What a brilliant movie made in the days when they new how to
produce quality films actresses and actors.
The theme song is oh so sad. I'm even crying over even as I type this in.
My favorite version is Barbra Streisand's, but I also love what the 5th Dimension did with it.
Love Brook Benton, and Shelley will definitely tear at your heart strings!!!!
This was early in Welch’s career. And I have a copy of Adler’s book.
🤗you have the book?! i have wanted a copy!!
BROOK BENTON singing the original recording of this BACHARACH/DAVID classic which has grown in stature to become a vocal yard stick that great singers measure themselves against .
Wow, Life is really a story. But true love is always a teacher.
Shirley Winters played on the original 'Poseidon adventure'. She was a great actress.
In the 60s alone she appeared in this film as well as Lolita, Alfie, A Patch of Blue, The Mad Room, Wild in the Streets, Harper, Buona Sera Mrs Campbell, Let No Man Write My Epitaph, the Scalphunters and The Chapman Report.
The man at 46:33....isn't that Broderick Crawford? If so, I saw him when I was 6, or 7yrs old. I barely remember it, but he came to my home town, in S.C.. He was at the Chevrolet dealership..signing autographs, on pictures of himself. He was shooting this pistol..which had blanks in it. He did a lot of talking about some role he playing. I still don't know why he came there, since it was a very small town. Mama kept that picture a long time, but I never saw it again after we moved to Florida. The thing I remember the most...was him firing that loud pistol.
He was the star of "Highway Patrol" the series lasted a long time, very popular.
This is my second viewing. A great story, portrayed by a great actress. Shelly Winters was top notch. This was definitely one of her better films.
I know a woman who is 99 right now, I keep her company by reading stories to her. And she was a child when her mother ran a rooming house back in the 20’s and 30’s. And she was saying back in those days all the little guys were greasing palms with Some of the police officers, some of the gangsters, and some of the politicians. This rooming house that her mother ran used to make bootleg liquor, and the desk sergeant at one of the police departments will call her and let her know when there was going to be a raid.
Those days sure were something, and I love hearing the stories!
The original song is Beautiful ❗
Serenityafterall I totally remember that song.
