    They will never make fantastic movies like they did back in the day the movie stars today sit on their brains if it wasn't for vulgarity and nudity and violence they'd probably be working at a fast food restaurant cleaning out the toilets and flipping burgers. God bless the movie stars of yesteryear those days are gone forever. 😒

Where people still cared and tended to be nicer. I also love the old style of clothes, cars, and stores.

    Ida Lupino was a legend . So much love for her here by those of us that know that already , but still saddens me that in most main stream she gets no mention at all.She could act any role, sing, direct, write and produce -What else does she need to have done to get some recognition? Deserves a movie or TV mini series to document her amazing achievements Meanwhile great Movie with Sally Forrest perfect in this role and the supporting cast spot on in a very well directed and written screenplay.Never too mawkish or melodramatic , instead thoughtful look at the situation as it was then.Nobody here is bad , bad things just happen.Thanks PizzaFix.

    • @csrollyson
      @csrollyson 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Jack Cleary Yes, I first encountered it in geometry. Here I meant that the actors and their interactions were powerful because each actor/tress was congruent with the role, so it felt to me that they weren't acting, they _were_ that role. Part of that is the actress/actor, but part of it is the director who sets up their interactions. A director is a conjuror. Ida Lupino is a master.

    • @LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts
      @LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Ouch! How does putting a child up for adoption meet their physical and emotional needs? Even just basic biological needs of an infant to stay in close skin constant with their mother isn't met. Are you confusing a social stigma that makes life hard to bring up a child on your own with a woman's inability to meet her child's needs? Or you think that the unmarried part makes a physical difference to a child's needs? What about the huge numbers of children in this era who lost fathers they never met or couldn't remember because of the war? Were they damaged by not being put up for adoption? Your comment doesn't make sense.

      @@annielehnhardt_kolakowski5818 It is very different today where there is help for single mothers. Back then, not only was an unwed mother dealing with the judgment of society, but the child was labeled a bastard. And the mother had to do everything on her own, because usually the family disowned her. This movie has a happy ending which is more than a lot of women had back then when the entire affair was kept secret forever and haunted them for as long as they lived. And, as you saw, closed adoption meant never knowing what exactly happened to the baby.

    Wow!, Loved Ida Lupino as an actress and now too as a director! Had not seen this before, and will not be forgetting anytime soon. Impressive work, simple but complex plot. What the director pulled from the actors onto film so impressive, maybe too close to reality to become popular? Thank you so much for putting up for us all to watch.

    This was the reality into the 1960s. I'm 74; at least one of my classmates (HS class of 1964) "went away for a while," and two more married very quickly upon graduation and had babies after 6 or 7 months. Lovely and wrenching performance by Sally Forrest, who reminds of Nicole Kidman. The landlady character had to be the inspiration behind Lily Tomlin's Ernestine the Operator-dead ringer!

      @Marie V. We adoptees aren't shown any kindness either. If we act upset at all about not being able to know who our moms are, then we are deemed insane and forced to endure tortures like Attachment Therapy or sent to shrinks who give us bad drugs. Adoption is totally geared to the adopters because they have money and the agencies want it. Adoption is child trafficking/child abuse period. I wish it was illegal.

      for real. Most do, especially a girl this young. She ran from her parents to chase the man, and then was too proud to return. It is a melodrama, and she therefore makes many things hard on herself.
      This movie was remade in 1982. "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" the Stacey plot. For all the modern choices for that 15yr old, the institutions were much colder, darker and relatively heartless. The "Free" Clinic even charged her $150 and she was back on the street in a few minutes with no compassion.

    Gosh. So simple and visceral. The character Sally was played by quite an exceptional actress. Great chase scene, with the Patriot WW 2 veteran Drew, and the bad leg. And of course it’s pity for the other that ultimately unites them. A film like this in 1944 was extremely risky, and unusual. I’m not certain but I’d wager this was a popular film that had good ticket sales. Great writing, simple, sentimental and poignant. A+ for sure!
