Wonderful movie - no violence, nudity, or foul language. A welcome relief to say the least. Excellent acting and screenplay as well! Thank you kindly for the upload.
i agree. im old too, and it wasnt till half through the movie i remembered ive seen it before. six months from now i will have forgotten again and enjoy it a third time! 🧓
This was an excellent movie and quite funny. The newspaper headlines before and during the trial were hilarious. 😂😂 The movies that Hollywood churns out these days just cannot hold a candle like excellent ones this one was.
Monty Woolley was a marvellous actor. His patrician and gentlemanly manner together with his velvet, polished voice, graced several films. A truly great actor who dominated the screen.
It’s difficult to believe this is Gracie Fields. She’s certainly altered her accent and behaviour from the more famous films I’ve seen her in. It’s a revelation to see her in a different role. A proper actress!
Excellent film. Not at all what I expected. Clever scrip .and the humour is gently surreal .Gracie fields gives a fine understated performance. A tonic!
A charming and probably somewhat forgotten gem of a film. Adorable. Monty Wooley is forever fascinating on screen and is perfectly matched by Gracie Fields.
Absolutely LOVE the movies of the 30's, 40's and 50's and all the marvelous actors and actresses that make them what they are. Cannot stomach the movies seen today, so I am thankful to find these precious gems❤❤❤
You are sooooooooo right. I detest the movies of today. No grace...No charm.. No femininity or gentleman-liness. Thank God we can still tap into it all in the old movies....💋💋💋
Hello Tammy, I agree with you! Most especially the British films that, to me, perfected the subtle "eyes show a slight surprise" or "shoulders slump" and you know that there person is affected by what's just happened. The person may not even have their face towards the camera! It is TRUE ART! I'm grateful for these films. This is a gem that I'd not even heard of until 2 weeks ago! For 76 years this beauty has been hiding (at least for my life of 61 years) from repeatedly viewing!
What a delightful match. I just read in a letter my Father wrote in Europe while serving in the Army during WWII, that the men watched this movie So of course I had to see it, too!
Eric Blore appeared in over eighty motion pictures. He began his acting career playing mostly military types and bluebloods, but it is portrayals of butlers, valets, and waiters that he is best remembered for.
As an artist/painter I always look forward to films based on artists/painters. There are hardly any films based on art, painters, artists. Most are highly romanticized and inauthentic.. unreal... but this is so real in so many ways... Way ahead of time.. 1943!!
@animeshroypainter Look up an old 30's-40's movie with synopsis of a homely painter that falls in love with a con artist who turns the art into a done-by- this-gorgeous-woman cash cow and eventually, murder. The level of reaction to the quite odd style of art if even for a movie was most amusing.
The glorious Gracie Fields who, in the 1930s, was the highest paid film star in the world, so popular was she with British audiences thanks to her marvelous comedy timing, endearing personality and beautiful singing voice. Only the briefest sound of that voice in this film, but a good, unusual script and great chemistry with Monty Woolley. It's a pity they only made one more film together, and that Gracie didn't make a lot more. And also Laird Cregar as the art dealer who died tragically going at 28.
Love, love, love (all) of Gracie Fields movies. I watched Molly & Me twice, and I would watch it again and again. She can sing, dance, and her comedic timing is perfect!
Thank you for this delightful film, nothing disturbing, each word clear English, leaving one with a feeling of lightness , excllent acting ,this is what entertainment was all about .
Wonderful "gentle", English-style movie...watched this a couple of times...very under rated. Great plot, excellent acting from all these wonderful character actors. A must see! 10 out of 10 stars
❤️❤️❤️🎭one of all time Great Actors. Can watch this movie again and again. Great sense of humor and timing! Wish they could have made more movies like this.
What a delightful and clever little film. Just saw it for the first time ever. In fact I didn't know about Gracie Fields until this film. Very familiar with Monty Woolley, Gracie Fields, Una O'Connor, Laird Cregar, Alan Mowbray, and Melville Cooper from other works of art. Such a smart wife, how she complemented him. A gem worth watching with someone you love.
The first time I saw Woolley in a movie was his role as the professor in a Bishop's wife with Cary Grant and Loretta Young. He turned a small part into a masterful role. I think Iwould have liked him in person. Just a fine way of carrying himself.
Wow that was good. These old movies are so entertaining and they do it with out offending. Hollywood needs to review their formula. Thank you for the upload.
What, no buildings blown up, no bombs and flying body parts, no sex and drugs? Goes to show that a movie can be good with just a well planned plot and good dialogue. Yay!
that was all the old movies prior to the satanic dystopia that are movies today and prior to satanists taking control of every media and industry in the world - they are everywhere and control everything now.
@@writeract2 It’s called demoralization. It’s been in the works for decades by the globalist communist. It’s the first step in destroying any society. If one watches these classic movies such as this one like I do, one can quickly see how far we’ve fallen. Sad.
@@jetpilot3714 This is my rant and my postings on Sm every single day of my life - it's unconscionable and unbelievable HOW MUCH they have degraded and demoralized society.
these were the type of people my grandmother had as neighbours when i was a very small girl in the 1960's. I always loved visiting their house, full of art (painted by him), a wonderful garden they worked together that felt like fairyland whenever you came inside their gate. And music. They lived next door to a saw mill, but they created their own little bit of paradise anyway. Vale Reggie and Louise
Gracie Fields and Monty Woolley - two of the greatest stars of yesteryear together. Movies don't get any better than this - superb acting, wonderful characters and a marvellous story.
Thankful for Monty Wooley and Gracie Fields, crispy dialogue, havey cavey plot twists and in the end the incontrovertible truth was out! Thank you for sharing!
My mom was a housewife. A wonderful mom. I give my mom all the credit for my life and the fact she raised me with God given values. She gave me those values to pass on to my children. Her unselfishness is unfound today. That’s the problem in families. Can’t find ppl willing to give of their life for others especially their children. What a gift.
I had the same upbringing. My mom was amazingly dedicated. I look back at the things that she did and now I cannot even imagine how much work she put out for decades to take care of five children and her husband. We were constantly on the move. My father's job brought us to a move every year to two maybe three years at the most. She handled all of that as well as dealt with a physical ailment that she had. She was an amazing woman. I wish I had spent more time with her than I did.
I've seen over 40,000 films so far and this is one I hold dear to my heart. I have stored it among others of similar quality in a safe place on a computer "stick" which I refresh every 2 years.Every plaudit it receives here and elsewhere is thoroughly deserved.There must be a special place in Heaven for actors and film makers of this calibre.🙏
A sweet and poignant comedy of errors. Well acted, well written, and enjoyable. Thank you for finding and sharing another gem with us, Chris. Sincerely, Laura-Lee
I can't thank you enough for uploading this gem. I only have a very worn out VHS copy taped off TV and VCRs won't be around forever. Thanks to you l can enjoy it here. Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦💓🍿🎥
She would have , but was black balled for marrying an italian man. They plugged vera lyne who in my opinion was no where near as good as our Gracie. That's the establishment for you
You mean other than 36 notable songs, 11 movies, many tours for soldiers during the war, owning her own theater and performing in theatre and TV including singing on her 80th birthday and being given a Dameship by the Queen three years before her death? She was also ranked in the top 10 favorite British actors for many years. Her first stage appearance was 1905 and her last appearance was Merv Griffin 1979. Oh my, that is a short career! And what a little known treasure! She was famous to all Britain and had a four movie contract in the US. I left out many other awards and notables!
Thank you for this amazing gift I grew up in the 60’s and me and my mom always watched these classics together I miss her so much and you have given me a gift of this amazing movie I feel she’s watching it with me I don’t remember this one so it’s a treat for me just wish she were with me to watch even though she probably watched it without me lol thank you so much 💜💜
Brenda, this was one of my mother's favorite movies but I didn't remember the name. She was a huge Anglophile, particularly of this sort of wry humor. I too felt akin to my mother again while enjoying this.
Thank you, @Chris Rogers, for this film. I enjoyed it very much, particularly the first five minutes with Mr. Leek (too bad, he had to leave us so soon in order to make the basic plot work) and later the court room scenes with the miming of the judge and the lawyers. But why only praise Whoolley, Whoolley, Wholley, Fields, Fields, Fields ad nauseam? Here is to the unsung hero Laird Cregar (1914-1944 (sic)), who played the art dealer Clive Oxford in this here film. In 1942, he was the very impressive (treacherous) go-between in THIS GUN FOR HIRE, one of the best classic films noirs ever, with Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd. The script was based on Graham Greene's novel A GUN FOR SALE (1936). Despite his beard(s) here, I recognized Laird Cregar immediately, first by his voice and later even by his face. So sad he died at the age of 30.
Enjoyed. I have seen these 2 together in another movie. There is good chemistry between them. They treat each other with respect and affection. The plot was well played out
Khay I do not usually like remakes, but this one was very good. Both Miss Gish and Miss Fields were charming, but I think I liked Mr.Wooley more than Mr. Young.
I’ve seen this awesome old classic MENY years ago , and I enjoyed it again today as if it were the first , thank you for sharing you wonderful classics , it’s been a terrific get watching them takes you away from this time and date to a better different in life time !
Surprised this gem hasn't more views. Excellent film with excellent players. Always love Monty Woolley and Una O'connor. Have seen Gracie Fields in only one other film and think I wouldn't mind seeing more of her. Thanks, Chris Rogers, for this most appreciated upload. 6/2018
Thanks for uploading this. It’s interesting to compare it with the earlier movie based on the same story, “His Double Life”, with Roland Young and Lillian Gish, which is also very good, and on TH-cam!
This is my favorite movie with Gracie!! The energy between her and Monty Wooley is so special . It just goes to show that a movie can be made without sex and violence that depicts the transcendent love between a couple who lo v e and support each other just as they are!! ❤🎉
@Chris Rogers Thank you very much for sharing :) Such a charming and well-written story :) The cast is superb. I love Gracie Fields and Monty Woolley to bits :)
"...is there anyone in this court who is not an expert? " What a wonderful woman you are Ms Fields, a shame more folks don't know about you in the U. S. Oops, spoke too soon, sort of, Ms Fields was well known in the U. S. according to Wikipedia. And it would seem she was just as wonderful a woman inreal life as she is in this movie role.
I love any film Monty's in. I really love this film because it's exactly the way I would love to spend my Twilight years . As a painter myself , and a gentleman , I found a kindred spirit I Monty's character here. I have the same dream . To find a good intelligent woman who is as loving and kind as his wife in this film. And of course having peace and quiet away from the neverending noise and problems that is the world outside. By the end our friend and his wife looks content and peaceful , as he paints and she continues to look amazing. That's how I would love to retire
Brilliantly rendered by the actors this Arnold Bennett gem Buried alive is as good as Alec Guiness The Card. British film maķing at its best. Thank you so much.
I would rather watch these old charming movies than anything put-out today!
100 percent truth
I never thought I'd live to see the day I find a movie with Monty Woolley and Franklin Pangborn both talking together.
I've enjoyed seeing Monty Woolly since first watching him in The Bishop's Wife. Such a distinguished gentleman.
not in real life he wasn't
Wonderful movie - no violence, nudity, or foul language. A welcome relief to say the least. Excellent acting and screenplay as well! Thank you kindly for the upload.
Couldn’t agree more.
And no CGI!!! Saw this years ago - most enjoyable...😸😸😸
"Understatement!"... but I cannot think of anything more accurate.
SUPERB!!!...DELIGHTFUL!!!...Absolutely NOTHING! comparable today!...(btw, I'm 70 yrs)...THANKYOU!!!...Enjoyed IMMENSELY!!!...Will view again!...(and again!)...👍😊

All true...except Monte was not "gentlemanly" (on purpose) in "THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER". He had some memorable insults.

Got to be one of the best Gracie Fields films.
It was Gracie's favourite films of all the ones she made, thanks for the lovely comment.
My goodness - it is 10 months since I last watched it!!

Monty Woolley was such a very good actor, so handsome, distinguished and funny.
I looooooove anything with Monty in it but I’ve got to say I am giggling at his man servant. Hilarious lines and brilliant execution.
His manservant is the brilliant & very funny Eric Blore! Blore was in some of the Astaire/ Rogers films too. ❤
Eric Blore appeared in over eighty motion pictures. He began his acting career playing mostly military types and bluebloods, but it is portrayals of butlers, valets, and waiters that he is best remembered for.

The other movie was called “Molly and Me”.
interesting thank you
Highest paid in the world? IMDB says in Britain.
😂. She had a voice like a strangled corncrake.
Love, love, love (all) of Gracie Fields movies. I watched Molly & Me twice, and I would watch it again and again. She can sing, dance, and her comedic timing is perfect!
It is a rare thing to not fast forward a TH-cam movie. This is one of those special films. The performances are brilliant
I love Gracie Molly films- no cussing and or killing, just a great family movie
Thank you for this delightful film, nothing disturbing, each word clear English, leaving one with a feeling of lightness , excllent acting ,this is what entertainment was all about .
One of my favorites of both the main actors..such a pleasure to see them both married to each other in this❤

Just finished watching this sweet movie. Thank you for sharing this!! And a special “Thank you” to Robert Walker for the suggestion.👍🏼

Gracie singing "Christopher Robin is Saying His Prayers" to Roddy McDowell is enchanting!!

Mere toooooo! 🎥🎬😀
She did quite a few in the UK she was also Star of the music hall.
Gracie was a huge star of the 30s and 40s in the UK. She was a down to earth type from the music halls.

This looks like a remake of 1933's "His Double Life," with Roland Young and Lillian Gish. So wonderful.
Khay I do not usually like remakes, but this one was very good. Both Miss Gish and Miss Fields were charming, but I think I liked Mr.Wooley more than Mr. Young.

Monty Woolley , what a great actor. First time seeing this film, I loved it. Thank you so much.
Thank you for old films....they render life so much easier....
👍👍👍
lovely an old fashioned gem!
This took me by surprise. A lovely film!
49:00 coming back to watch the rest later! very funny understated British humour, love it
wonderful ending! love the cockatoo at lunch( in the ''late afternoon'' sun!) love from Australia
Loved this wonderful old movie!’
I love any film Monty's in. I really love this film because it's exactly the way I would love to spend my Twilight years . As a painter myself , and a gentleman , I found a kindred spirit I Monty's character here. I have the same dream . To find a good intelligent woman who is as loving and kind as his wife in this film. And of course having peace and quiet away from the neverending noise and problems that is the world outside. By the end our friend and his wife looks content and peaceful , as he paints and she continues to look amazing. That's how I would love to retire
Delightful movie.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I EVER SAW
Brilliantly rendered by the actors this Arnold Bennett gem Buried alive is as good as Alec Guiness The Card. British film maķing at its best. Thank you so much.
