To all the people on here complaining about the subtitles: try being *GRATEFUL* that the uploader posted the movie. You'll never be happy if you always see the glass as half empty.
Didn't read a single comment about that but I have to say I loved it. It gave me the opportunity to read some french and try to do it quick enough. There was also some parts in french.
stoical silence when you lose your only child might make a good story but - you MUST be aware - it's damaging all round in real life. Secrets just aren't good for us, they create misery and shame and it has always been worse for women.
Yes, Jim such a Wonderful man to take her in and care for her when she was so very fragile but Roddy was her choice not even Phil, selfish . Hard choices but I feel like Phil, should be told! Otherwise always a missing hidden sadness. Janice Harley
@@vickiegveg why are you so hard / We know this is a Movie! Sometimes people have a point they want to get across Losing a Child is very hard! For the strongest person! Janice Harley
@chachalacojm: That's a ridiculous statement. For as far back as records exist (and probably for centuries before that), humans have been driven by the same emotions, and have grappled with issues surrounding how we live with others in society. I challenge you to name ONE moral value in this movie that doesn't exist today. You can't! In addition, anyone who thinks that the films of classic Hollywood are at all reflective of society needs to get an education; the two-dimensionality of mid-century HW characters is no more real than, say, today's reality-TV participants are. Throughout history, some ppl have been bullies, some have been targets, some have striven for a better world in which people treat others well, some have been grifters, etc. Human nature hasn't changed, and societal values haven't changed since this movie was made. Human rights have been expanded, meaning that women are no longer relegated to wife-and-mommy-only -- which is a good thing for everyone, including the children who suffered bc their thwarted mothers tried to live vicariously thru them/ PLEASE don't make reductive statements. PLEASE use your brain; we're facing existential problems today (the climate crisis; the attacks on democracy in many nations) bc ppl do not use their brains!
I love Barbara's courage, she is tough in the right, special way, we all learn from her in Her movies and her personal life, what a great classic lady.
I can't resist Barbara Stanwyck's beauty and her sweet smile. She was a lovely actress. She was loved by truly fans at that times. She looks intelligent, warm-hearted and prudent.
My Mum near the Sea I honour. Who brought me up from the age of two. Bless my Mum Isabella. I am the daughter that was adopted. Susan is my name and I was adopted because of the appalling circumstances that had happened to me when I was a baby. But it's many many years ago. My dad who is in heaven saved me and he adopted me from the age of two. He adored me and my Mum. Kind wonderful parents. I love them so very much
Madden Master I disagree. In Big Valley she was a strong woman who didn't take guff off of anyone. I like the way she played a wide range of roles. That is a sign of both courage and talent. She certainly wasn't typecast. She could do drama as well as comedy. She was the only who could have put across the ridiculous line, "Show us some of Tom Barkley's guts!" (I figure they were in a jar on a shelf.) :)
loved the fashion back then, so classic and made to fit their figures, the women were so beautiful as well. The little boy is so cute, i felt for her, giving up a child is never easy no matter what century it is.
Its also the story that holds it that way. Lets not forget the director. The script! This is a perfect REAL, human story that was very well delivered, almost without the maneirisms people liked actors to do on camera.
Herbert Marshall, who plays Jim. See if you can tell: He lost a leg while serving in World War I, and rehabilitated with a wooden leg. This did not stop him from making good his decision to make the stage his vocation. He used a very deliberate square-shouldered and guided walk - largely unnoticeable - to cover up his disability. He's almost 50 years old when he appears in this film. Stanwyck was 31.
Have you seen him in "The Enchanted Cottage" with Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire? He plays a similar character, but in a much more limited sense. He plays a pilot who was blinded when he was shot down in World War One. Robert Young is initially engaged to a very selfish woman at the beginning of the film. He enlists in the Air Corps to fight in World War II, and is disfigured when he is shot down. He goes to stay alone in the cottage that he'd originally booked for his honeymoon, and it is there that a friendship blossoms between Young and McGuire, who was done up to be homely in the film. Herbert Marshall, through his blind eyes sees Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire for the beautiful people they really are, and is a kind of guide to them. It's a beautiful film, and worth watching over and over again.
WOW! I am amazed. HM has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. I never, ever, even saw a hint of his misfortune. Thanks for the info. And the great dialogue belongs to the writers... wish they were around today. Thanks.
Miss Stanwyck is deserving of an oscar for every performance and movie she ever made. I don't think Hollywood was fair to her remarkable abilities. A Queen of Hollywood if I must say! I Loved her.
writeract2 La Principessa Anne, so sad that it very much seems that way. I keep hoping one day, at least for my daughter she will meet up with someone like Herbert Marshall's character.
writeract2 La Principessa Anne Are you saying you aren't like that and don't know anyone like that? If so, that is very sad. Perhaps if you moved you would be with a better group of people. There are many good ones where I live. They work in the schools, in the hospitals and clinics, in the fire dept, in the businesses,.... They volunteer to help others, give generously to charities and those in need, and can be relied on to do more in an emergency. These people give until it hurts and give some more. In fact, strangely enough, I've found people like that wherever I have lived. Maybe that's because I also give and help. Beware cynicism. It makes you believe that the world is an ugly place with selfish people and there is no use trying to change that. That's what the few horrible people want you to think so you won't get in their way. Find those who are optimistic and caring and your life will be transformed through knowing them and becoming like them yourself.
I have watched this movie a couple of times it is a gem. Cesar Romero is so gallant and handsome in this and all of his films they all fit so well again what a gem!!!
I wanted her to marry the count. She could then be friends with both Phil and Jim and see Roddy often. Living with the count would have been a much more cheerful arrangement. At the end I envisioned a sorry life for all of them except Roddy. Just sayin....
I guess us gentle souls just don’t make enough noise or have the financial clout to change Hollywood. I adore these old feel good films and good acting by respected actors. I never tire of watching them... bless RUclips, and TCM.
Thank you for uploading this! Great movie with an outstanding cast. I always said Barbara Stanwyck is right up there with Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Hepburn as one of the top tier female actors of this era. I also like everything Herbert Marshall did back then. It's sad what's become of Hollywood today.
I have no fondness for contempo movies, but not bc I think that HW today is any worse than it was back then -- it's differently bad, but not worse. It really annoys me when ppl make these lugubrious and completely untrue statements about the past, bc it shows that they aren't doing their patriotic duty ( = get a lifelong education) and instead are falling back on easy. false platitudes -- lazy thinking, which is why the world is a mess today. So, do your duty as a citizen, and use yr damm brain! Btw, romanticizing HW of yore makes no sense, and I say this as someone who loves HW movies from the 1930s thru the 1950s. Most were highly unrealistic and at least somewhat preachy, and the stars were kept on such a short leash by the studios that they cdn't live their lives authentically. And, fans were fed a steady diet of twaddle about them. Falsehoods weaken a society, and the large-scale propaganda machine of classic HW was deeply problematic.
@@dw999 Not sure I understand all your babbling but Hollywood, when it was run by studios and men who knew movies particularly from the 30's through the 40's was a machine that produced an amazing quantity and quality of films. Each studio had the best directors, writers, producers, set directors and designers and they cultivated their own stable of movie stars. To say that one is romanticizing and that it was all unrealistic and preachy shows a huge ignorance and lack of knowledge of films of that era. When the studio system finally ended during the 50's Hollywood went on and blazed new trails with some great film for the next 40 years until the end of the 90's when corporations who now owned many of those old studios completely killed Hollywood in favor of profits over quality. Since the 2000s Hollywood has been reduced to mediocre films and 'blockbuster' super-hero films that all have the same mundane story lines. The Oscars which were once one of the most watched yearly events have continued to decline to historic lows in viewership. The red carpet is now a parade of 'who's that?". You seem easily triggered.
Johnnie Russell was such a bright (scintillating) child actor; very charming. Loved Barbara Stanwick's affection for him. Nice little film; thanks for posting. 6/2018
The cutest little boy i have ever seen on tv.....the way he walks down the stairs was so adorable....perfect ending too...enjoyed it thoroughly...thanks for the upload
Not only him but the women in the dressing sallon... no one could look down the steps back then. They had to keep their eyes straith foward. Its not easy to walk steady knowing so many steps are there. The child was what many children were back then: very meticulous. He step out the staircase never looking down. FANTASTIC ACTING FROM EVERYBODY!
Enjoyable flick of a story. Barbara Stanwyck was always cast in characters that brought out the best in her acting. Thank you for sharing this gem of a movie with us on RUclips! Cheers!
This hit me like a train out of no where . I wasn’t thinking ahead like I normally do ,I’ve made the same choice in my life. My kids always came first and I love them beyond what I thought was possible. But in doing so I missed being with the one person I truly love . It hurt hearing her say “ no Jim I love you “
Yes, but in the hereafter all things will be made right, if we just do what's right in this life, like this mother did. Though she should have never made the mistake of giving up the baby in the 1st place for adoption, then she probably would have had both her baby and the guy she loved eventually.
Christine Dunn Fortunately, the man she loved understood her and her feelings. This was not the kind of film where the heroine gets everything. Romero was here to add some fun, and fun he was!
Thank you for posting. Barbara Stanwyck is wonderful in anything she does. Herbert Marshall always adds a touch of class. His voice is easy on the ears. RUclips is a treasure trove of old movies and actors that will never age. What they left behind is priceless. Happy Viewing from Las Vegas, NV August 21, 2018
It is a wonderful movie, with great actors. The scenes between Barbara Stanwyck and the little Roddy, was so sweet, and he got his mother at last. The quality of such an old picture was great. Thanks for posting this.
A new and beautiful look . Barbara Stanwyck gets it perfectly with her many tight fitting jackets vest mid length skirts. The hair and hats changed just as pretty as the first look of the 30's.
I totally sobbed...I have two sons. I gave up happiness for my boys too- a mom's love....it's eternal...and this is for always - thru the ages...hard to every explain to anyone....oh I haven't cried in a long time over movies.
Never for me! Thank you for uploading it saw this movie, and I'm 70 years old. it was a big treat for me! I didn't even mind the French sub-titles. I almost wished it were in French with English sub-titles, Only because I love hearing people speak the language. I don't speak or understand it but I love how it sounds! Phil truly loved her..He loved her enough to let her marry his friend so she could be with her child. :) .
Thank you, thank you for posting. I thought that I had seen all of Barbara Stanwyck's films, especially from this period, but somehow this one escaped me. Cheers to you and to a treasured favorite leading lady, the supreme Barbara Stanwyck!
A golden surprise - recovering such gems out of the blue is triple rewarding - for me, for my Mom and for a couple of friends to whom I will recommend this "goodbye".
I just adore Barbara Stanwyck, and I have just watched this little gem of a movie for the very first time. What a great supporting cast, although Cesar Romero, and the little boy did grate a bit. The scene towards the end of the movie between Ms. Stanwyck and the great Herbert Marshall, left me a little tearful. What a trouper he was to just walk away from her. I'm not sure I could have done that. She was such a beautiful woman.
He liked more cows, even if he was great and very wise: You know there will be always trouble after few years of marriage. Routine life will erode all sympathy and love between 2 persons in love. Cows are more simple to understand.
I have just watched 2 Herbert Marshall films back to back. Simply delightful. I have always enjoyed his acting so these rare films have made my winter afternoon a pleasant experience!
TY for this wonderful Babara Stanwyk love story...I've never seen it before, and I thought I had seen all her films. Great Cast & Screenplay~it reminded me a little of "Now Voyager," sacrificing all for a child's benefit...the way life should work!
I enjoyed this old film far more than I ever expected to...These kind of lovely old pictures are what so many of us still long for...Thank you so much for sharing & giving me such a pleasant evening...
@Kathy: That is an unforgivably stupid comment. 1. Even the US releases dozens of superb independent films every year -- great scripts, actors, directors, and crew -- as does every EU nation, plus the UK. If you don't know about these films, that's on YOU. 2. Generalizations are always more false than true, *and* they're uttered / written by people who are not only being lazy but are refusing to do their patriotic duty, which is to THINK, to use your brain, to educate yourself throughout your life. The world is a bigger mess today than ever before because of the climate crisis, and on top of that many nations are facing frightening challenges to democracy. We cannot afford to carry lazy thinkers; we cannot afford to waste time cleaning up the mess they create by lazily electing grifters and would-be autocrats. So get off your duff, use your brain, make decisions that will strengthen (not weaken) this world, and get INVOLVED in solutions.
What a lovely little gem of a movie and in such good condition. It was fun seeing Cesar Romero as such a young man. For those who remember, he played the Joker in the campy television version of Batman. Thanks for uploading!
Agree. (Maybe if she could tell the truth a little sooner - of being the real mother of the little boy - to the adoptive father, maybe this one would have been comprehensive to let her see the boy every day, like an aunty, for her and Jim to keep their true love too).
Whew. What a heartbreaker! Such a good balance, though; almost screwball at times..and three of my favorite actors in one film. Wonderful. Thank you for uploading this!
I thought I had seen all of Barbra Stanwyk's movies. I loved this one. Thanks for uploading it. The actors and actresses were superb, the story line engaging and, of course, romance doesn't always win out, which makes this more endearing and honest.

You sparkle yourself Jim! ":)
Agreed- she's one of the greats. And yes she should hav received an Oscar.
Remember that the Oscars are made for Hollywood. It didn't care what the public thought about who they chose as a winner.

.....what a lovely accent he has. Always attractive. And they didn't marry... What a beautiful beautiful movie. So touching.
OMG - Barbara Stanwyck, one of my favorite actresses ever (her and Bette Davis) - god, she's so good. :}
Hello Alexa,
How are you doing ?
thanks to you PatrioticGlory for sharing stories. i enjoyed Mr. Cesar Romero and absolutely loved the way boy walking down the stairs !!
I Love classic movies. This my absolute favorite.♡♡♡
Hello there,
How are you doing ?
This hit me like a train out of no where . I wasn’t thinking ahead like I normally do ,I’ve made the same choice in my life. My kids always came first and I love them beyond what I thought was possible. But in doing so I missed being with the one person I truly love . It hurt hearing her say “ no Jim I love you “
Yes, but in the hereafter all things will be made right, if we just do what's right in this life, like this mother did. Though she should have never made the mistake of giving up the baby in the 1st place for adoption, then she probably would have had both her baby and the guy she loved eventually.
Herbert Marshall and Barbara Stanwyck are brilliant in this! Thanks so much for posting this little gem.
Loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Very good movie! Storyline was quite Avant guard for 1938. Good quality too.
She could have married the man she loved . Also, why was Romero in this film--??
Christine Dunn Fortunately, the man she loved understood her and her feelings. This was not the kind of film where the heroine gets everything.
Romero was here to add some fun, and fun he was!
If you're referring to unwed pregnancy, fairly common theme in the early '30s.
avant garde
10 thumbs up and beyond. love it
I get to relive these times - my dear parents’ times - through each of these marvelous films 💎
Another great, dramatic Barbara Stanwyck performance that they somehow never told the movie going audiences about.
Thank you for posting. Barbara Stanwyck is wonderful in anything she does. Herbert Marshall always adds a touch of class.
His voice is easy on the ears. RUclips is a treasure trove of old movies and actors that will never age. What they left behind is priceless. Happy Viewing from Las Vegas, NV August 21, 2018
I applaud what you wrote about RUclips. Its a treasure. These great movies are now given another lease and seen by a new generation.
It is a wonderful movie, with great actors. The scenes between Barbara Stanwyck and the little Roddy, was so sweet, and he got his mother at last. The quality of such an old picture was great. Thanks for posting this.
Maybe say SPOILER first next time😡
Really …..damn no need to finish movie.
Lol @ people complaining of spoilers. Anyone who reads comments on a movie before watching it deserves what they get.
A new and beautiful look . Barbara Stanwyck gets it perfectly with her many tight fitting jackets vest mid length skirts. The hair and hats changed just as pretty as the first look of the 30's.
I totally sobbed...I have two sons. I gave up happiness for my boys too- a mom's love....it's eternal...and this is for always - thru the ages...hard to every explain to anyone....oh I haven't cried in a long time over movies.
Never for me! Thank you for uploading it saw this movie, and I'm 70 years old. it was a big treat for me! I didn't even mind the French sub-titles. I almost wished it were in French with English sub-titles, Only because I love hearing people speak the language. I don't speak or understand it but I love how it sounds! Phil truly loved her..He loved her enough to let her marry his friend so she could be with her child. :) .
Thank you, thank you for posting. I thought that I had seen all of Barbara Stanwyck's films, especially from this period, but somehow this one escaped me. Cheers to you and to a treasured favorite leading lady, the supreme Barbara Stanwyck!
Barbara Stanwick is my favorite all time actress. Her wise racks and honest candor made me a huge fan.
brilliant acting, great storyline and perfect casting. Laughs and a few tears too...can't ask for more than that. Thanks for posting this gem
A golden surprise - recovering such gems out of the blue is triple rewarding - for me, for my Mom and for a couple of friends to whom I will recommend this "goodbye".
I just adore Barbara Stanwyck, and I have just watched this little gem of a movie for the very first time. What a great supporting cast, although Cesar Romero, and the little boy did grate a bit. The scene towards the end of the movie between Ms. Stanwyck and the great Herbert Marshall, left me a little tearful. What a trouper he was to just walk away from her. I'm not sure I could have done that. She was such a beautiful woman.
He liked more cows, even if he was great and very wise: You know there will be always trouble after few years of marriage. Routine life will erode all sympathy and love between 2 persons in love. Cows are more simple to understand.
moggs I heard and read that ms. Stanwick was gay and Joan Crawford was bi . Hmmmmmm🤔
@@angelabarrineau640 I doubt that’s true. I think people are able to imagine what they want.
@@angelabarrineau640 actually cesar romero was gay
Great movie, thank you so much for posting this. All the actors did a such a good job. Cesar Romero was a hoot!
Wow! I almost passed this up. I wasn't expecting this movie to be so superb!
I have just watched 2 Herbert Marshall films back to back. Simply delightful. I have always enjoyed his acting so these rare films have made my winter afternoon a pleasant experience!
Thank you. Very enjoyable. Cesar Romeo can move 🕺🏿💃🏿 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😃
And what an adorable child actor!!!😍❤
TY for this wonderful Babara Stanwyk love story...I've never seen it before, and I thought I had seen all her films. Great Cast & Screenplay~it reminded me a little of "Now Voyager," sacrificing all for a child's benefit...the way life should work!
Thank you for all the old classics, love watching Barbara Stanwick.
this movie was so amazing. thank you so much for the upload..
Wow what an ending. That little Roddy was the best kid actor Ive ever seen.
He did a wonderful job, yes he did, i agree!
Poor back-projection effects at 54.50
It's like a pulp romance novel come to life. Fantastic cast.
I enjoyed this old film far more than I ever expected to...These kind of lovely old pictures are what so many of us still long for...Thank you so much for sharing & giving me such a pleasant evening...
I love this movie! I have watched it a few times over the years. I truly wish they still made good movies, with good acting, directing and values!
Must learn to look at Comments first it helps you decide whether you want to waste your time LoL Janice Harley Thanks
Kathy H. Good conversation
@Kathy: That is an unforgivably stupid comment.
1. Even the US releases dozens of superb independent films every year -- great scripts, actors, directors, and crew -- as does every EU nation, plus the UK. If you don't know about these films, that's on YOU.
2. Generalizations are always more false than true, *and* they're uttered / written by people who are not only being lazy but are refusing to do their patriotic duty, which is to THINK, to use your brain, to educate yourself throughout your life. The world is a bigger mess today than ever before because of the climate crisis, and on top of that many nations are facing frightening challenges to democracy. We cannot afford to carry lazy thinkers; we cannot afford to waste time cleaning up the mess they create by lazily electing grifters and would-be autocrats. So get off your duff, use your brain, make decisions that will strengthen (not weaken) this world, and get INVOLVED in solutions.
this movie is worth it just for the costumes.
I'm making a film including tugboats. I got tugboats....
your icon is my hero. that psycho guy from the noir films. what can i do to help?
And that goes for you too.
Julien Radoff Have you seen the fashion show segment from "The Women"?
This was a really good movie. Thanks for sharing.
This mega-classic puts my heart through the ringer.
The sheer brilliance of Scola & Skouras script.
Cesar Romero was hilarious! Enjoyable film.
CR reminded me of a persistent talker I couldn’t wait to get of. In a sweet sense of course💃🕺
Oops rid of
Oh great! A movie of BS I haven’t seen. Love her!
What a lovely little gem of a movie and in such good condition. It was fun seeing Cesar Romero as such a young man. For those who remember, he played the Joker in the campy television version of Batman. Thanks for uploading!
Cesar Romero also played in a lot of the old movies he was a great actor
The ending threw me for a loop, but this was a great story with superb acting. Thanks so much for uploading this movie.
I concur (-_-)
Agree. (Maybe if she could tell the truth a little sooner - of being the real mother of the little boy - to the adoptive father, maybe this one would have been comprehensive to let her see the boy every day, like an aunty, for her and Jim to keep their true love too).
Totally - I'm trying hard to think of an ending with a better distribution of pain.
Thanks for uploading this wonderful movie! A great cast, and amazing fashion.
Such civility! Such grace.We are sorely lacking
Thank you for uploading this movie!
Thank you for uploading this movie.
Whew. What a heartbreaker! Such a good balance, though; almost screwball at times..and three of my favorite actors in one film. Wonderful. Thank you for uploading this!
What a beautiful baby boy!!! 😍😍
The baby was angelic.
merci pour ce très bon film.
The movie was released when my great grandfather was 3 years old!!!
I thought I had seen all of Barbra Stanwyk's movies. I loved this one. Thanks for uploading it. The actors and actresses were superb, the story line engaging and, of course, romance doesn't always win out, which makes this more endearing and honest.
Highly appreciate your dedication on bringing us vintage high class movies.
Thank you 👏👏👏💖💖
Barbara NEVER disappoints in all her movies 😍🤩🤩
That was great and thanks for posting them. I love Babs' movies. That was so bittersweet.
Thanks for the fine movie and the note about Herbert Marshall. This makes a very good actor great. Thanks for sharing.
I was hoping a Barbara Stanwyck movie would appear....one of my favourite actresses of the past....
I loved it how meaningful- now this is what movies(life) should be about!
I love this movie! Third time watching it!! I only watch movies from this time period. Nothing but excellence!!
Herbert Marshall and Stanwyck are splendid together
only that frenchman getting on nerves in paris
A Excellent Movie.. Highly Recommended.Thank You Very Much For Sharing.. A Nice Happy Ending.
