What an amazing movie! I can't believe I have lived for 60 years and have never seen this. Close to 100 years old and it feels like I am right there with all these actors it seems so real it's unbelievable. I really needed this movie and God brought it to me at just the right time. God bless you for posting this treasure.
Yes!!! Lets wallow like the French in the shit they produce. Such fine culture the produce while the USA cleans up their trouble...WWI and WWII.
Thanks for the movie I loved it!
Really tugs at my heart ❤️
Ive never seen this film eigther & I'm 55.Its a beautiful film.
@@candyfloss3964 here and first time seeing this.The system doesn't want such lovely movies about honour and faith having a good effect on the populace.
When I was a young girl in the 1970s, I would make sure I woke up early during the summer months just so I could be up in time to watch the old black-and-white movies that came on TV. I was only a skinny, freckle-face girl, but my incurablly romantic heart matured early. I fell head-over-heels in love with Jimmy Stewart. I knew he was just playing characters, but I was (am) convinced that the endearing qualities that invariably appeared in every one of those characters were the characteristics of Stewart that could not hide from the camera.
Love the simplicity and innocence in this movie. Today we have everything and are always complaining.
That's It.
Today we have less than nothing and are always accepting less , not complaining enough
@@bobsaturday4273 Hmmmmmmm.
He is very far from convincing in this play.
@@FlipDahlenburgHave you ever been in love…a truly lifetime love…that started out with innocence, honesty, selflessness and respect? I have. And I believe Jimmy Stewart as well as Simone Simon are both very convincing indeed in this movie. I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Stewart was a born actor. He Aces any part he plays and always realistically. Actors of the past were the very best! Thank goodness for film, so every generation can enjoy their art!
General James Stewart, I had no idea what a great man he was besides and actor! A gentleman, war hero and example for young actors to live by, not for fame or glory but, honesty...
Jimmy Stewart has always been a favorite of mine. He's good all the time.
There were 2 men that my mother and I "loved.' and they were Johnny Weissmuller and Jimmy Stewart. SHE was born in 1914 and I was born in 1951. ( There were many Saturday afternoon movies when I was a kid/teenager. )
Mine too
@@zimjun7My mom shared her appreciation for all film with me. As a child, I enjoyed being sick from school and watching the 10 AM old movies.
I was born in ‘51, my Japanese mother in ‘31. As a kid she ,”took,” the chicken eggs and sold them on the black market so she could see the latest movies.
She had mentioned Simone Simon so I was very excited to see this film.
Drowsyness. Even in The Henry King's film! May be good actors, good looks, good looking good actors and so many things I haven’t discovered yet in my life.
Thank God they made his character live in the end! I almost turned it off! I am young & I think most tv & movies these days are JUNK! LOVE movies like this!
Yes they are😢
Same. I've been in love with 40s and 50s films lately. Last time I watched a 2000s film I couldn't get 10 minutes through
Thank you for the spoiler alert. Lol Now I can watch the rest of it peacefully and happily!❤
I'm not trying to be funny but you need to edit your comment don't spoil the movie for people who haven't watched it. People look at the comments to see if it's a movie worth watching you basically just gave the ending away which was not cool People need to feel that tension themselves you just basically ruined it for anybody who hasn't seen it yet so please edit your comment and don't give nothing away just tell people if you liked it or not don't tell people the ending for crying out loud
@@robertmarszalek1978Okay, Mr. Spielberg. Enough lecturing. 😂
"I tell you I'm a remarkable fellow." What a remarkable movie! Loved it and Jimmy Stewart. He's one of my favorites since I was first introduced to him in 'It's A Wonderful Life'.
I am !
Love James Stewart, but I have to say that "It's A Wonderful Life" has to be one of the worst movies I've ever watched. So depressing.
@@miladydewinter7770 But the ending...!
It's a wonderful life was a favorite too!! This one❤
@@miladydewinter7770 Depressing? I think it’s uplifting and perfect to remind us of how fortunate we are.
A remarkable movie... acting, production, staging, lighting, camera angles, camera movement up the 7 flights of stairs, costuming, sets.. everything just remarkable..
Also.. ohmygoodness, that Simone Simon was incredibly cute..
After all the war, violence and killings around the world, it's so good to watch something so romantic and cheerful. I have never seen this movie before. Thank you so much for posting it. ❤️🌹
It's not exactly cheerful, it's full of hope and spirit.
First I'd ever seen this movie and with Jiimmy Stewart in it I had to watch it. Glad I did.
A movie of hope! Actually is what we need now! Hope prayers love this movie❤
Look how young Jimmy Stewart is here! Oh my goodness! Great movie !He’s a gem! Love his movies!

Before his WWII PTSD
First time seeing Simone Simon. Had to look her up. Adorable and genuine. Très belle jeune fille. Merveilleuse!
Cat People 👍
@@ohsweetmysteryOMG! I have watched that film a couple of dozens of times. I could watch it again, any time. She was exquisite in that film. And I loved The Curse of the Cat People. 😏🐈⬛
It doesn't get much better than this. Beautiful.
it really does not.
Jimmy Stewart is a great actor
He is.
such a wonderful movie back then . I wish I live in that pure time. when everything was simple and pure.
What a wonderful movie. Just love JS. He's one of the legends. Gr8 love story. Very enjoyable.
This brought me to tears of sorrow and joy. Such a simple and pure hearted love they had for one another. ❤🥲
I thought I had seen every old classic movie, but this one snuck up on me! Thank you for posting this, it was great! ❤
Someone said how did this movie stay so hidden so long?
Cause we needed It NOW 😊❤😊
So true!
Omg I am watching this movie, which I haven’t seen before, smiling with tears of joy, Jimmy Stewart and his co star such a beautiful movie. Thank you for up loading. ❤
God, I love this movie. It’s so pure and sweet. Just turned 23 and been loving black and white movies since I was 11 or 12. 🖤🤍 wish we still had love stories like this. I understand they still exist in different forms, but they’re hard to find.
Jimmy Stewart was the best, and Simone? Wow, she was an angel in this movie. Such an amazing character.
What a great and heartwarming film. According to Wikipedia, this movie was a flop. Perhaps that's why I'd never seen or heard of it. But I'm glad I found it here. Thanks for sharing.
I came so close to passing up this movie. It seemed dull, until the priest bargained with the atheist! Then i was hooked! Great movie!
What a wonderful movie, and what great performances by Jimmy Stewart and Simone Simon. I wonder what kind of impact this had on audiences on the verge of WWII. For Jimmy Stewart to convince me that he's a rough sewer cleaner is quite a feat. But it's not at all hard to believe he's in love with Deane. And every time I watch it, I'm more impressed with the cinematography. That scene where Chico runs up the spiral staircase, and the camera rises and spins right along with him is AMAZING...
Beautiful movie. I’ve watched it twice now. Like a painting, I could look at it over and over again and always see more. Love is often beyond our understanding but God is it’s author. The two become one through love.
It was wonderful to see God freely mentioned. 😊👏👏👏❤️
Great movie with a simple message of faith

I didn't realize that Simone Simon was in this film. She was very popular in France during the French golden age of cinema, to wit, the 1930's. Of course her RKO film Cat People is great. Thanks for this offering.
I have Never seen this great movie that I can remember. Jimmy Stewart's character is complex. He is tough , strong one minute and innocent and shy the next. Confidence Of his future one minute and scared falling in love,
of the war being separated the next. HER character played sweet and innocent and when they did the close-ups of her face she looked angelic❤ wonderful movie BRAVO !
@@melindamenard4028 Yes, but you have just described what I call "Jimmy Stewart style": his characters have that complexity in every role:)
She was great too. So innocent.
I was not expecting to so thoroughly enjoy this movie as I did! Just wonderful!! 🌸💗
This is such a great movie I've seen it many many many many many years ago but I had forgotten how wonderful it was and how great the acting is❤
how many years?

Not seen this beautiful moving film for many years. Thank you so much for the upload.
I have never seen this movie before, so thank you for the upload.
What a sweet movie.
What a Beautiful movie! James Stweart and Simone Simone are such sweet souls in this story. Highly recommended!
Wonderful actor & a war hero & a poet as well. Sometime look up his tribute to his loyal dog, he read it on Johnny Carson's show. - Jimmy Stewart. 💜
First time I have ever seen this movie and I'm truly blown away by just how simple and beautiful a story it is. Jimmy Stewart and Simone Simon made this a magical love story that no movie today could ever equal. Thank goodness for these old movies. Joe S
great acting and story. very lovely , sweet and heartfelt. sweetest love story. thank you for sharing
I feel so peace to watch this kinda movie... So natural their acting❤❤❤
Wow, what a tearjerker! I didn't recognize Gale Sondergaard. I didn't know this movie existed at all. And I'm a big fan of TCM and films of this kind.
Well I thought I must have seen every B&W movie ever made but this little gem really sneaked under my radar. Thank you for posting. I love James Stewart.
Thanks to whomever made this movie. It makes you believe in love and kindness again. No one else could have played this role but him. I had a beautiful time watching it. THANKS AGAIN 😊
Jimmy Stewart has always been a favorite, but lets be honest, Simone Simon and her amazingly charming portrayal of innocence and total believing trust really made this movie.
It's amazing that this movie was a flop when it came out. It's better than most of what comes out today.
Such an amazing movie, these movies were great they were spectacular filled with love, nothing could ever beat those good old days and the ending was a happy ending, i love it .
What a great old movie!!
A truly wonderful movie!
Thank you for sharing it with us.
One of my favorites
Why on earth is this not one of the best known movies in the history of cinema? When was there ever a better romantic pairing than Jimmy and Simone? and why was she not the biggest female star on the planet! All these decades later this stunning film leaves every other 30s romantic drama trailing in it's wake.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
because it's a remake of a silent film from 1927 that's better in every way. Charles Farrell, Janet Gaynor and Frank Borzage are deserving of that recognition more than the people that worked on this remake
@@jakeperkins153 Harsh, there's room for both. Each to his own eh?😀
What a wonderful movie! Thank you for sharing 💐
You can't go wrong with a Jimmy Stewart movie, and Simone Simon was a great added bonus. A beautiful film and a sweet tear-jerker. I loved it!
Love Jimmy and Simone was excellent too but remember this was a Selznick picture. These two were in the very best of hands - SELZNICK. What a master. The lighting, script, direction was gorgeous from beginning to end!!
Oh,I hope ŵe will never have war,sacrificing our son and daughters,while those who start it will be safe at home and at the end even if someone wins both sides loses and many yrs of rebuilding and burying our died.As well as. Cleaning up all the weapons that are trashed.Great actors and actresses, and the music diffently put you in a state of sentimentality ,the world of innocence and the harsh reality that nothing is what its seems,chivalry at its best.
I hope we never start a draft. For no one should be forced to fight in any war,it's never the solution. It is only profits for those who create weapons until the last men standing.
Oh, my goodness! What an incredible movies! Poignant, funny and so, so interesting. And James Stewart. What an actor! I didn't want this movie to end. I'd imagine Oscars were won here? And now I must google Simone Simon. She's quite an impressive actress, too. Truly, a great movie. Thank you!
Loved _this film _Such a wonderful old fashion love story _ wow
Really lovely film, Jimmy is so characterful and so is his female lead. xxxxx
What a legend ❤
Thank you for sharing this beautiful love story! I only wish they still made quality content like they did pre -1960s 😢
They still do, you're not paying enough attention if I may say so...
List of lovely films I've seen in the last few years: Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, Amelie, Ram (about a flock of sheep and the shepherd), Paper Plane, The Red Balloon, Charles Aznavours home movies set to his Parisian songs of the 50's. Etc etc ad infinitum :)

It is not a love story but a very creative narrative.
What a great flick,wow! Blows today's standards away and this was 1937? Simone and Jimmy fed beautifully off of each other. Tku for post.
A divine little film. I’m glad the original cinematography wasn’t destroyed with colorization. It’s perfect the way it is.
Im so glad i came across this beautiful beautiful old lovr story romance movies of those days Its such a beautiful story great actors of the days most sweet innocent romance story I can't believe i nevrr saw this movie but so glad i watchd it Thanku for uploading this wonderful classic and ive subscribed aswel thanku for this beautiful old movie ❤
Awesome right away. Jimmy,like I've never seen, what a cool part he's playing.
Still playing Jimmy, as always.
Thank you for posting this. I adore this movie. Simone Simon is so beautiful and Jimmy Stewart is handsome. A perfect movie😊
Fantastic thanks for posting ❤
Most joyous film. Darling characters, what a script. If all film makers had this much talent and imagination of the heart.. love is not in money or riches. Never could be. 🇬🇧 1:38:02
If you can forget, the profoundly American, Jimmy Stewart as a Frenchie, this is _very_ entertaining AND *extremely* romantic. Hallmark, as good as it is, can't touch this. 👍👌
She never stopped believing in him despite everyone and pressure from a new suitor. A rare woman to find at any time in history.
Simone Simon was delightfully sweet and angelic ❤
I could watch this all over again, thank you for sharing such a beautiful movie : ).
I LOVE this movie.
Absolutely LOVED this movie.
Thanks so much for the upload! ♥
Beautiful!
Excellent movie!!!
VERY REMARKABLE FELLOW & VERY REMARKABLE MOVIE! ❤ABSOLUTE BEST, SWEETEST, JIMMY STEWART MOVIE EVER!!! Close call towards the end, but didn't matter. This is now my all time FAVE Jimmy Stewart movie ❤️
Extraordinary film tht I have never seen before but will again and again. James Stewart and Simone Simon, wow.
Omg, what a gift this movie is! One of the hidden gems in the internet
1:11:09, yes indeed! The power of prayer and the love of Almighty God is demonstrated throughout this precious movie. I pray that atheists would get a hold of this and turn their hearts completely over to Christ, that their lives would never be the same again. Thank you so much for uploading this sweet, heart-touching movie. I enjoyed every minute of it; it touched my heart in a very special way, while bringing me to tears.
So true! God IS love.
Heartwarming Movie, There is good in this life.
I saw this before and have been looking for it. So touching!
I absolutely love this movie ❤
So much full of love. Loved it! Thanks!
Thank You For Posting This Movie. I Love Watching early James Stewart Movies that I have never seen before. Been a huge fan of his after seeing some of his westerns on TV with my father as a young boy. Loved The Story. What a Beauty Simone Simon Was, the camera just eats her up on screen. Do You Have Any More Early Stewart Movies or Alan Ladd another of My Favorite Movie Stars 🎬
This was wonderful…the next movie opened right away. “ People Will Talk”. It’s one of my very favorites!
Waaaaw 😢quel magnifique film ❤❤james stuart est un très grand acteur quel belle histoire 😂et pleine d amour jusqu'à 💘 la fin sa femme a gardé l espoir et il est revenu je n'avais jamais vu ce film 🎥 et pourtant j'ai presque 😊😊72 ans merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique ❤❤❤partage et continuer à nous faire partager des pépites comme celui ci 😢😢😢😢merci merci beaucoup
Jimmy Stuart, one of my all time favorite actors, never seen a movie he was in that I didn't like. I miss the guy.
Such an endearing movie, the main female Actir stole My Heart.
Thank-You for uploading this treasure, it’s a ‘new’ favourite!
It's a beautiful movie to watch. Thank you
Love Jimmy Stewart in anything! Thanks
How did I miss this treasure?
A very remarkable movie! Really good. Enjoy!
Thank you for posting this amazing movie! I will watch this many more times!
Who ever posted this movie done a wonderful thing❤
Thank you for posting this lovely movie! I loved it!
I prefer Stewart in dramatic roles, but this was a fine movie for lovers, and lovers-of-the-decent-past to watch. TY!
What a great film great to see this old type film
Simply excellent!!! The cast was great. Fell in love with the Deane. Who could play that role better than Stewart. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
So cute! What a sweet and romantic movie! Easily became one of my favourites along with The Clock 1945, and It Happened One Night 1934.
There's nothing like playing house...😏🌹
Simone Simon had the sweetest little face and figure! Such a feline look, she was perfection in The Cat People, one of my favorite films. Then came The Curse of the Cat People, which she wasn't in, except by memory...
Beautiful Classical movie thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Indeed,a very remarkable fellow. And lady too
I have never seen this movie it was wonderful and im 75 Jimmy was good in all the movies he was in
I only had the 1927 version on my collection. It shows all this simplicity and innocence without words. Didn't know this version with James Stewart, either.
We just saw this for the first time ❤ Loved it
