Whoever had the foresight to marry this song, with this touching montage tribute to film makers that passed that year, deserves the highest praise. Its poignancy delivers apt shivers. There will never be a more perfect background composition to spark sorrows and joys and awe, as these fleeting images of our icons pass before our eyes, knowing that their towering brilliance has gone out, only to reemerge in our own spirit! May this elegy always be available for generations to treasure. Thank you.
Lois Maxwell - Miss Moneypenny in the Bond films - is followed by Barry Nelson, the first actor to play Bond (the US TV series 'Climax' adaptation of "Casino Royale"). Brilliant editing.
This is my favorite "TCM Remembers". I am a huge fan of Betty Hutton and I love this song, so I have returned a number of times to keep watching this. I never realized until now that Lois Maxwell and Barry Nelson are shown back to back; Miss Moneypenny and the first man to play James Bond!! I am a major fan of the James Bond films and should have caught this long ago! Truly brilliant editing by those who so lovingly put these together each year!!
This one is perfect.... the song selection , the pacing , the impeccable timing of the fades to black and the stills , how every single person gets seemingly their own hour to shine, I love all of these memoriams, but 2007 and 2008 are a cut above
I’m sorry about your fiancé. I couldn’t agree more that the 2007 TCM Remembers song is the best ever.... When I watched this in 2007, I was 45...I lost my health, professional career & life savings. No Biggie, my high school sweetheart is still my wife & best friend and all 3 of our children are loving, intelligent and successful...
This was a beautiful TCM Remembers tribute--I ended up taping it that year because it was so poignantly done--and the song Promises by Badly Drawn Boy was perfect.
*It's 5:03 AM sleep aludes me. I pray a bit, asking Jesus for a car, that I don't need. I turn the computer on, hoping to see if anyone liked the crap, I posted last night on TH-cam.* *No one has liked my crap from last night yet.* *W.C. Fleilds is on the vid screen, fron last night's, but I don't feel like being entertained, when suddenly , I see TCM and then I remember this song and Vid., I am reluctant to hit the clicker, because anytime I hear this song and see the images of people long since dead, many of whom, I don't even know, I cry for some strange reason.* *I try to hold back the tears, but the tears still fall from my eyes, like the rains from the heavens, on a hot humid mid summer day.*. *Every bloody time, I cry. Why?* *I haven't cried in since about two years ago, I don't like to cry.* *My daddy said only sissys cry.* *I'm not a sissy, so why did I cry?( : )*
Frankie Laine (3:40) is listed as a composer (which implies instrumental) when he was known as a singer and songwriter! From Wikipedia: "His hits included "That's My Desire", "That Lucky Old Sun", "Mule Train", "Jezebel", "High Noon", "I Believe", "Hey Joe!", "The Kid's Last Fight", "Cool Water", "Rawhide", and "You Gave Me a Mountain". He sang well-known theme songs for many Western film soundtracks, including 3:10 To Yuma, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and Blazing Saddles..."
This was the first TCM in memorian that I saw. I remember thinking how beautiful this was. And I use to say how all the other award shows should take note.
Richard Jeni. God, what a tragedy. I remember discovering his standup comedy in the early 90s--he made me laugh so hard, he was effortlessly funny. I was so shocked, felt so sad to learn of his death. RIP.
Bud Ekins stuntman taught Steve McQueen how to race motocross. Ekins was the one jumping the fence on a motorcycle in The Great Escape. He was Steve McQueen's stunt double in several movies.
That last scene cuts me like a knife. I cannot handle all of the emotions that that brings. His memory of childhood summers. The children waving from afar. This to me is so very hard to see, but I must. I love Blow-up, but this, this is too much. This is amazing to lose Two Giants within days of one another. Actually, I think they left us on the Same day. This World of film is all that has survived from paganism. This World could not be defeated!! And will not be!!
Slow motion images, leaves falling, frames fading in and out, the perfectly apt background music of "Promises", are enough to bring one tear for each artist we've come to know and enjoy. It's almost too heart-rending to take. But the message is more than sorrow alone. There is an uplifting commitment to "promise to remember". In that way, the memories ensure immortality. Lois Maxwell gives the appropriate (only allowed audible line), "Good luck" to Bond and ALL the spirits on THEIR next mission.
Lois Maxwell & Barry Nelson side by side. No accident. At 3:11....Kitty Carlisle's beautiful expression as the song says Promises last forever...breaks my heart each and every time I watch it. Of all TCM's memoriams, this is their greatest one.
This is the best TCM Remembers because the song "Promises" by Badly Drawn Boy , .is perfectly married to the montage of the dearly departed & the shots of falling leaves. The 2nd best is TCM Remembers '2003' with another perfect song: "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLachlan. It makes you want to cry. The 3rd best is TCM Remembers 2008 , the song: "God Only Knows" by Joe Henry. All 3 videos make me cry because it's as though the stars are reacting to the music. The looks on some of the faces. The hand waves. The walks out the door. Those who are running along in a scene. Also the smiles. Especially the smiles. If only the Oscar's montage did as well in presenting its "In Memoriam" segment year after year.
This song just makes the whole tribute even more heart breaking. Ive always loved this song but I can't listen to it now without thinking of these people.
@MrMajorTime I agree This has always been my favorite of all the TCM Remembers. 2007 was a difficult period in my life and I will never forget that time during the holidays and years end. Thanks for your thoughts.
Whatever happened to TCM Remembers 2009? I can't seem to find it anywhere on youtube. We lost a lot of great entertainers that year too. This one is very moving.
Allen Murray Charles Lane live to be 102 years old, a full life, his 76 years old son said, he got tried, went to bed and went to sleep, he died peaceful.
I feel that way about 2013 - “All I Want” by Kodaline, and 2014 - “In the Embers” by Asleep at Last. Those songs should be used for all of them. So poignant.......
If you don't mind, Canada lost two performers, and a leader, in 2011. If you are doing one for 2011, can you please include them? The performers are Roger Abbott (Royal Canadian Air Farce) and Wayne Robson (Red Green show). The leader was Jack Layton, NDP leader. Thanks
@inertia2004 Thank you for your kind thoughts. The thing I try to remember always, is that everyone here is equal. The moment anyone thinks of themselves as more or less than anyone else denotes when trouble ensues. Even these great icons of masterpieces and notoriety are not greater than the individuals in the audience they entertain. We are deserving of their artistic offerings. We, the essential part to all the silver screen geniuses just by our love and appreciation kept alive in our hearts.
I was a newspaper reporter for nearly 30 years and one of the interviews which stand out in my memory was Dabbs Greer. I had the privilege to interview him as his hometown was naming the city park in his honor in 2002. He was a humble, charming man who spoke as much on his love of fishing as he did on his acting career. He began his career as a $5 a day extra in the film Jesse James, and had roles in dozens of other films, including Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Con Air, and The Green Mile, the latter his last. He also was in a number of television series, including major roles in Little House on the Prairie and Picket Fences.
Thank you John. It must have been a treat to meet Dabbs. I enjoyed him in Little House and Picket Fences. Sadly, like many character actors, me was over looked.
Today is the *11* year anniversary of when you uploaded "TCM Remembers 2007". 🤓 EDITS- 1:07 A.M.: *finishes video 7 minutes later* I had never heard of most of these people until tonight. 1:12 A.M.: However, that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate TCM's tribute to them!
Im sorry but wtf Deborah Kerr in the middle of the pack? using a weird clip from not even one of her most famous movies? And then not also putting her and her husband back to back? She should have been next to last! if not last! Jane Wyman!? really? Her body of work is nothing compared to Kerr's

I agree....it's the best song for these tributes ever....just perfect
You're so right. It's painful and beautiful.
When actresses and actors were real.
I think this is one of the saddest songs ever written.
It’s incredibly sad... enchanting and riveting.
Do you know what the song is called? 🤔
@@thema1998 Promises by Badly Drawn Boy
This one is right up there with “Fireworks” the year Deanna Durbin, Joan Fontaine & Peter O’Toole died.
Lois Maxwell - Miss Moneypenny in the Bond films - is followed by Barry Nelson, the first actor to play Bond (the US TV series 'Climax' adaptation of "Casino Royale"). Brilliant editing.
I wondered if anyone else would catch that. Bravo.

I just noticed that today after 12 years and commented on it and then saw your comment. Great editing by TCM. Wonderful.

Still the best song for a "remember" yet.
I lost my fiancee on 2007.... It was the right song at the right time for me.

Miyoshi Umeki - Mrs. Livingston on The Courtship of Eddie's Father TV show. I always wanted a housekeeper like her. So sweet and kind.
If this beautiful tribute doesn’t bring you to tears you have no soul.
I sobbed while hearing & watching this one.
Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007). Images of his masterpiece 'wild strawberries'. An unrepeatable filmmaker.
still the greatest TCM remembers have a great holiday everyone
It's "Promises" by Badly Drawn Boy..

Masterfull selecting and editing, the song is perfect, maybe the most beautiful tribute of this kind ever, Thank You TMC !!! ❤
I remember none of her three daughters came to her funeral. How sad, and shame on them.
Who ?

*Jane Wyman/'Johnny Belinda'*
*Still one of the very few 'Immortal Movies'*
Charles Lane must have been in every movie in the thirties and forties, and then in every TV show from them on.
Very respectful tribute thanks for this TCM Remembers 2007.

2004mojo I couldn't agree more!
I personally think this and the 2008 one are the best.
+Everything Fangirl Yes, 2008 is a great one .The song "God Only Knows always makes me tear up. I think I have to change my mind. (lol)
So true, 2008 and 2012 is a good fit also. But this one is the Best.
Absolutely!
God, to this day I can remember how torn up I was when Ingmar Bergman died.
The song and the video are perfection and never fails to bring me to tears and a clean feeling deep in the heart of me, that few know(:)
This song just makes the whole tribute even more heart breaking. Ive always loved this song but I can't listen to it now without thinking of these people.
Oh Wow, I forgot Yvonne De Carlo " Lily Muster " has pass away,
@MrMajorTime I agree This has always been my favorite of all the TCM Remembers. 2007 was a difficult period in my life and I will never forget that time during the holidays and years end. Thanks for your thoughts.
Access to T C M abundantly ✨
Marian was such a blessed a friend. I can only watch this once
@MikoMello Thanks I like that one as well but for me its the music for 2007 that really gets me.
Have a great hoilday!
Also sir Ian Richardson (House of Cards, Dark City, etc;)
Whatever happened to TCM Remembers 2009? I can't seem to find it anywhere on youtube. We lost a lot of great entertainers that year too.
This one is very moving.
TCM's best moment.
That last shot was Bergman's favorite of all. He said so on the Dick Cavett show.
Andy Sidaris, Director, Producer and Actor.
@jjoeyo It is from "Tea and Sympathy," one of my absolute faves of her films. Beautiful and very talented lady.
The best so far thanks for posting
That's not the clip of Betty Hutton I remember seeing. She was great!
Gordon Scott, (Tarzan) Kerwin Mathews, and the great character actor Charles Lane; strange year.
Allen Murray Charles Lane live to be 102 years old, a full life, his 76 years old son said, he got tried, went to bed and went to sleep, he died peaceful.
Sorry to see Jean Pierre Cassel missing from this list.
they should so use this song on all of the tcm remember vids.
I completely agree... not one song since can hold a candle to the 2007, “Promises”
@@jeffreyadams2521 2015's song by Erin McHugh is my second favorite to this one.
I feel that way about 2013 - “All I Want” by Kodaline, and 2014 - “In the Embers” by Asleep at Last.
Those songs should be used for all of them. So poignant.......
Nah, different songs make each year unique.
@inertia2004 you should check out the one for 2010. THAT one is the best one
If you don't mind, Canada lost two performers, and a leader, in 2011. If you are doing one for 2011, can you please include them? The performers are Roger Abbott (Royal Canadian Air Farce) and Wayne Robson (Red Green show). The leader was Jack Layton, NDP leader.

@ashcarl116 How about Bruce Bennett? I don't he was included either
I weep every time!
I like this T.C.M Remembers montage best only cause I like Badly Drawn Boy singing Promises in it.
I didn't realize that some of these folks were gone.
Jeez Charles Lane seemed old in 1938
He died age age 102 in 2007
thanks! voxelraster, amazing song
Sadly they missed Dabbs Greer here... :(
Yet they include that human turd Jack Valenti.
@ Robert Goulet was also a singer as well.

1:12 A.M.: However, that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate TCM's tribute to them!
What movie is Deborah Kerr in, in her clip? (01:40)
Thanks ahead of time if you know.
I could be mistaken. I don't know if they were still married but Deborah Kerr and Peter Vertel were married and they died in the same year.
Tea and Sympathy
@MikoMello YOU TOO! MERRY X-MAS
Smultronstället
They didn't put Marcia Mae Jones in there :(
I believe Luciano Poverotti also died that year.
I noticed that Virginia Mayo wasn't on the list.
Carlo Ponti at .34 looks an awful lot like Sir Ralph Richardson
Does anyone know which film the clip of Michel Serrault comes from?
La Cage Aux Folles (1978).
who is the song & artist for TCM Remembers 2015?
soundcloud.com/turner-classic-movies/quickly-now-tcm-remembers-2015
what is name of this music, please?
Where's Joe Barbera?
That isn't Carlo Ponti.
Richard Jeni 3:05.
