- Random Harvest is one of my favorite movies so I did this little tribute for it :) it may spoil it if you haven't seen the movie, in that case see the movie then come back and watch this ;P haha, seriously, watch the movie! :D
I made this with a different song, "Left Behind" from the musical "Spring Awakening" but it was third party content so I had to change the music so now it's the theme from "Legends of the Fall", I hope you'll like it anyway :) Enjoy!
![On Top of the World [Classic Movies]](/img/n.gif)
I watched this for the first time just a few days ago. I've watched movies from the 30's & 40's for about 60 years, and it takes a lot to really impress me. This movie took my breath away. I feel so lucky to have seen this incredibly touching story, portrayed by such fine actors.
I cry every time at the ending, so very sweet. After all these many years!
My mother, who passed last year, saw this in the theater when she was about 13. It was the first movie she ever saw in a theater; she went with her older sister. They were both blown away. My Mom was not really a movie buff; she rarely remembered the details of most of the films she watched over her lifetime. But she always remembered this one and how much she loved it.
Coleman and Garson--such a classic film couple--an intelligence beyond beauty--something beyond the stars---love the music--a touching tribute--thank you.
A rare film. They certainly don't make them this way anymore. Mostly, integrity and honor have lost its place on stage in many modern day movies.
Magnificent Tribute to one of the greatest romantic films ever made in Hollywood.It is also one of my personal favorite love stories.Superb direction, acting,and script.The movie was based on the novel by James Hilton,who also wrote "Lost Horizon".Greer Garson would also win the Oscar for Best Actress in 1942 for "Mrs. Miniver",and Ronald Colman would later win the Oscar for Best Actor for "A Double Life" in 1947.Sad that Hollywood no longer makes great romantic films like "Random Harvest" anymore.It only chooses to make films emphasizing the dark nature of mankind, rather than the power and glory of love.My own personal Top Ten List of the greatest love stories to come out of Hollywood are these: "Love Letters" with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotten,"Random Harvest" with Ronald Colman and Greer Garson,"Shop Around The Corner" with Margaret Sullivan and James Stewart,"I'll Be Seeing You" with Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotten,"The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison,"Portrait of Jenny" with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotten,"An Affair To Remember" with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr,"Lilie" with Leslie Caron and Mel Ferrer,"Tammy and the Bachelor" with Debbie Reynolds and Leslie Nielsen,"It Happened One Night" with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert,"Breakfast At Tiffany's"with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard.
Such a beautiful, pure minded film showing how true love conquers, even in the face of adversity and loss. The ending always has me in floods of tears, as well as many other scenes. For example, the proposal at the picnic, Paula looking after Smithy with such heartfelt tenderness when he was suffering from the 'flu (major pandemic in 1918) and much more. No sex, violence, foul language or abuse of any kind. This film set such high standards which are hardly ever matched these days.
Thank You, what a beautiful moving movie! Greer Garson one of my favourite actresses! Nothing can compare to these old movies of the past! So glad we can still see them!
If you love great movies, this is in the top five. New films can't hold a candle to
this. Almost like walking in someone else's shoes through a lifetime...tears and all.
The best love story I ever saw , and the plot is remarkable. Love Random Harvest
I just watched this for the first time, and I truly believe it's one of the most romantic stories ever.
The pure love, adoration, loyalty, and compassion that they both have for each other shines in every scene and line in this movie. The lengths Paula goes to in order to try and make her darling husband remember - and the selflessness to make him remember on his own. She didn't want to force him, to make him resent her by just plainly telling him. And my god, the strength it took her for YEARS to be near him, be next to him, to watch him nearly marry someone else, to be left completely alone after their only child passes away, my god. And still she never gave up. And he never gave up, either. Always knew there was something missing, someone he should remember. Their love was so strong that it literally transcended time and memory.
I just love this movie so much
What a film! That last scene between Paula & Smithy gets me every time. Permission for chin to wobble Sir!
Thank you very much for this tribute. Greer Garson is a beautiful actress, the story is very nice from a novel of James Hilton (author of Lost Horizon). In my opinion, everyone could like this picture because it's a timeless love story.
I just have to tell you what a lovely video you put together! Random Harvest is one of my favorite films too and I loved watching Ronald and Greer interact silently in this vidoe and then actually hearing the "Smithy!" part at the end. Truly lovely job!
Happy Happy Birthday Greer Garson! I love all your films. You were one of the best actresses whoever graced the screen! You were so very beautiful and I love the sound of your voice. My only regret is that your films in the 40s were not in color. I love this film! It is my favorite of all your films! I am so very greatful that it has never been remade. In the end when Ronald Coleman put the key though the door and you say 'Smitty' and he turns, I am crying buckets and buckets of tears. it gets me every time. They don't make them like this anymore! Nor do we have actresses like you! We are the poorer for it.
Beautiful homage. The music used , though not period of the film, is very respectful and fitting. Allowing the dialogue and music at the end is so sensitive an poetic. Thank you. Youd have to have a glass eye or heart of stone not to cry at the end. Fortunately I have neither.
Greer Garson is so beautiful that it makes me want to weep. There s just something about her or many things...her beauty, the sound of her voice, her presence. She is ethereal. What a lovely film with a very talented group of actors.
She also possessed a really stunning figure.
Absolutely correct - a magnificent actress
I haven't seen the movie for years and I forgot how sweet and how moving it was. I must make sure to look at it again. Thank you for doing this post.
One of the best endings to any movie ever ... the look on Ronald Colman's face at 4:42 ... realization, shock, disbelief, joy, clarity, and love all in one smile ... my word that man could act!! ... I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't feel a burst of satisfaction when Greer Garson whispers "Oh, darling" as it hits her that she finally has her true love back ... their chemistry in this film is off the charts ... Thank you so much for including the original ending at the end of your gorgeous, amazing tribute ...

One of the best films ever loved it
One of the great romantic films of all time. Thanks for posting this tribute and for using the actual soundtrack and words in the ending.
One of the best love stories, and mystery story, I ever saw. The ending is magnificent.
I never get tired of this video, you made
Watch Outlander. It’s comparable and lots of war battles that are long but forgotten. Until brought to light in films and stories of this nature. Can be a bit graphic but reminds of the power of this film especially the season 5 grand finale. My wife and I power-watched it during the pandemic. Who doesn’t want this in their life. Great story indeed. They should remake it with Catriona Balfe in the lead role.
This ending makes my eyes tear every time.
I've watched the film several times. Wonderful presentation. Thank you. So glad you included the dialogue and original music at the end. I can go straight to that last scene when Smithy opens the door, turns around and sees Paula -- and I am deeply moved time after time. Rare love....rare...
Random Harvest is 80 years old. If we had US politicians that looked after the public interest instead of greedy rats that buy the copyright and control this piece of art in perpetuity we might just be able to view this masterpiece without having our pockets picked into the next century. This film should be in the public domain.
Thanks so much, Sara. I love that movie. You've captured a good part of the feelings, taking us right back into that world. Bless you!
It is a treat to watch old movies like Random Harvest. When I first saw it few years ago,I recorded it and since then I dont know how many times I have seen it. A truly classic movie,and a part of my collection.
It was a favourite of my Mum's - the melody for it was played at her funeral. This and the boys singing in The Bishop's Wife" [the original], I weep like a bairn. EVERY time.
Thank you so much for letting the real sound of the movie at the end! It was a wonderful surprise. This is my favorite movie of all time. It has great sentimental value for me.
She is one of my favourite actress's.Mrs Miniver is a great film too.Loved her in both.
I love this movie so much One of my favourite movies of all time
They were compatible with each other on and off screen.Their star signs matched perfectly.Greer Garson a Libra and Ronald Colman an Aquarius.Had they married it would been one hell of a Fourth of July.
When they starred in "Random Harvest" in 1942 Colman was already 51 and Garson 34.
ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER MADE. I USED THE WEDDING MUSIC FOR MY MOTHER'S FUNERAL
That was beautiful!!! Well done!!! Greer Garson was a very gifted actress and a stunningly beautiful woman! I just watched this movie a couple of days ago for the first time...I can't believe I'd never heard of it before! Wonderful movie and this was a wonderful tribute that you put together. The music is breathtaking.
Same here. I only got to watch half of it, but seeing this, I at least know how it ended! I agree, great movie, perfect performances!!
What a beautiful tribute. One of my favorite films of all time
Watching this again, I can see how well you have brought out motifs such as the key and the beads. I particularly like the wayy GG plays with the beads while sitting in bed: so elegant yet affectionate! I never wanted to be a set of beads before but I do now.
Excellent Movie That Cannot Be Redone By Anyone In Hollywood Today !
There isn't anyone of class or style to do it without making it vulgar.
Perché non succedono nella vita vera queste cose meravigliose ? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Greer Garson's face in that last shot: that's the face of happiness
It's true. She deserves the happiness; she had to endure so much heartache alone.
I could watch that ending a million times. It's beautiful
+dandy7989 I wonder what the book was like; they always say that the book is better than the movie. I can't imagine it being so. I always wished that the baby didn't die and when he regains his memory, he realizes he has a son. I often wonder if the book is different. Guess I will never know unless I buy the book.
The book is also good. With out video you don't know the Secretary he marries to help his political career is His lost love till the last page. They could not do that in the movie
One of the greatest movies ever..Classic!
Absolutely magnificent heartfelt film!
I can't get enough of this video.
what a great love story,love the ending thats the best.
Brilliantly put together little five minutetrailer. I love it today too.
This one of my favourites movies!!! The story is so touching!!
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful movie!!
Absolutely beautiful tribute to my absolute favorite movie! Gorgeous montage and glorious music! Thank you!!
Extraordinary movie...
This so beautiful! This movie always makes me cry.
Sara, you did a wonderful job with this. Normally I would not want modern music with these old and dearly loved films but this music is a perfect compliment to Random Harvest. I listened to the alternative music you tried to use but I think this is a much better fit. Well done!!
Such a beautiful face, Ms.Greer. So beautiful with shining eyes and captivating and heavenly presence
One of the best weepie movies ever made this one and Waterloo Bridge are my favourite 💕💞💖❣️❤️💘👌👍💟
Excellent compilation - great film! pure emotion and there are few films like it - What great voices!
Thank u for putting this together, great job. Recently seen half of this on TCM, but missed the second half, so u helped me know what happens at the end. Will definitely have to rent this one!!! Thanks again 😊 great job!!
I've always loved this movie. Thank you for this beautiful tribute. : )
thank you for the montages that you do. they are precious and charming. thank you.
A perfect movie. Understated, mature, love story. Just beautiful. I can't stand most chick flick movies. THIS is not one of those.
lisa boland good assessment.
Released in 1942 during the bleakest time for the Allies during World War II, Random Harvest was inspirational fare for both deployed service members and their separated loved ones back at home. Two British film stars in Hollywood giving it all they had to make a contribution to the war effort. In real life, Ronald Colman was a World War I veteran that had been wounded in battle and afterwards carried a life-long limp.
My all time fave movie, it reminds me of being a 7 year old, sitting on the sofa cuddled up to my mammy.......happy times.
+Jillian Dennis Greer Garson my all time favourite actress. Not only was she beautiful and a great actress she had a voice that conveyed sophistication and kindness at one and the same time. I know we do not know the inner workings of people but seeing her on screen i could not imagine her ever having a nasty or a malicious thought
Hi John, i have to agree, she was a lady, beautiful and elegant....and what an actress. I adore random harvest....i always cry when she holds the " cheap little beads", wanting smithy to come back to her. Fabulous.
Blood,gore and sex seem to have become salient features of film making now a days.
Hence we have to dig deep and find out gems such as random harvest and a host of other classes. Thanks to you tube channel from super seniors like myself.
Emotionally, it reminds me of "Somewhere In Time", starring Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour. I don't think any actor ever spoke the English language as beautifully as Ronald Colman.
That ending makes me cry
i just watched it again. It's fabulous
私が忘れる事が出来ない映画のベストに入る映画です！アップありがとう😃
In my top three favourite films love it
Who's cuttin' those damn onions!
I think I've watched this video more times than there are cherry blossoms outside Greer's cottage. If I were a blossom, always hanging around outside her door, I'd parachute into her flaming red hair as she passed underneath. A death to die for! Anyhow, isn't she wonderful! This and P&P are my favourites among her films, oh and GBMrC, and Mrs M. I love them all.
What a beautiful tribute to this wonderful film!
It's on my list of 'must see' movies! :)
Dave Mercer It's a wonderfully touching film. I get all sappy and sentimental when I watch it.
Nothing wrong with that at all - I have a list of movies that make me like that... :)
Dave Mercer It's definitely good for the heart. :)
I'm a big ball o' mush... ;)
One of the movies of my life. One of the masterpieces I will remember when I go to the grave.
Love this film. For years I called it smiffy cos I didn't know the real title til my mam told me years ago it was random harvest
It's 2015 and this film still hasn't been released on DVD in the UK!!!!! Considering it stars 2 of the biggest British film stars of all time, it's a crime! MGM or Warner or whoever own the rights, should be lobbied for the unlawful hording of rights to films in which they do not honour and disservice.
Robert Hicks Amazon.com has it. That is where I purchased my copy.
Such A Rich Excellent ( Could Medically Happen) Love ❤ Story.Garson And Colman 👏👏👏🎉
I remember a few years ago seeing the whole movie on UTube in chapters...where did it go??
I adore this movie!
thank you so much for this tribute :") that ending really had me crying and i almost never cry for movies
That last scene always gets me teared up!
I love Random Harvest! I have it in my collection; everything about this movie works for me. Love Greer and Ronald together. Although, I wasn't too fond of the role played by Susan Peters. I always felt they needed someone else to play that part. Still, I love it.
This movie brings out all the romantic instincts in me. I own it too. Also see A portrait of Jenny with Joseph Cotton. Not as good as R H but excellent never the less.
+dandy7989 I saw Jenny; it was a good movie. l have some other favorites: the Foresyte Woman w/Greer Garson, Errol Flynn and Walter Pidgeon; Blossoms in the Dust w/Greer and Walter; Mildred Pierce w/Joan Crawford; The Magnificent Andersons w/Joseph Cotton, Dolores Costello, Tim Holt and Ann Baxter.
+Linda Kemp Sorry, I meant the "Magnificent Ambersons" and "Joan Crawford".
Thanks for recommending these movies, I will write them down, I always come back to this video, I am so drawn to the ending. I'm glad I bumped into your reply. Be well, David
+dandy7989 Thanks David; please share your thoughts on the movies once you've had a chance to view them. Take care, linda.
Thank you!!!!! I just adore this film. Your tribute was beautiful.
The real tear jerker oh my goooood
My very favorite movie with my beloved Ronald Colman! I cant express how this movie makea me feel!
ポーラとスミシー、何度見ても素晴らしい名作です。何度見ても最後は涙あふれ号泣します．二人の表情がとても素晴らしい。動画の音楽がとてもマッチしていて素晴らしい。ありがとう。
「ひまわり」「哀愁」「シェルブールの雨傘」いずれも戦争絡みの悲恋だけど、「心の旅路」だけは最後に救いがあった。
最近始めて見たけどめちゃくちゃ面白かった
奥さん健気すぎる
Thank you. One of my fav movies
Esses dois...
Sensacional !!
Assisti em um bom tempo atrás,
Voltei a ver o filme depois de anos !!
Bela edição, Sara !
Adorei a música...
Haven't seen this movie since 50 years ago on TV when I was a kid, but clearly remember the theme. Saw this movie yesterday on TCM, but as I had to take a phone call, I missed the part on how Paula find her husband Smithy when he did not return to her and their baby son. How did she end up working as Charles' assistant? Can someone fill me in? When I returned to watching the movie, I was able to catch the ending. When Paula called out to "Smithy" and he turned around and finally recognized her and responded "Paula!", I lost it and the tears flowed to no end. Funny, Ronald Coleman's character had amnesia twice! I love this love story!
Beautiful! 💗
Nicely done, just watched it for the first time a few days ago!
Very nice tribute to a wonderful movie.
great movie
What beautiful film. Random harvest. They never show the film. What a pity. It’s a really beautiful film
Aaaaaaaw - what an amazing tribute, Sara!!!
I've just watched the movie again - and it's quickly becoming one of my all time favourites...
Random Harvest is my second favorite movie after Frank Capra's IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. THEY definitely don't make them like these anymore!
Perhaps my favorite. I wonder who wrote this instrumental track? Love it!
2:23 The shockingest scene in the history of cinema!
It’s a beautiful movie Greer Garson and Ronald Colman are well matched in this movie
Simply Grand !!
one of my favourite hollywood actresses.....I like Greer Garson very much...such a stunning beauty....🤩🥰🥰🥰
I've been trying to find this movie for years. Alas, it isn't available anywhere for free. It used to be, though. Such a great film.
I got it at the library. priceless film
I love the way he says Paula oooooh
there couldn't have been a dry eye in the house when this was first shown--
Can you imagine the collective gasp when she walks through the door into his office?!❤️
大好きな映画❤
I have never read the book, but watching the movie on TCM, Robert Osborne said that in the book, Paula and Margaret were not identified as the same person until the last page in the book, meant to be a surprise ending. This could not be done in the movie of course.
I wish all blsck and white could be like this
Truly elegant .
What a perfect romantic movie!
