Maggie Smith has always been my favorite actress and she will continue to be. and Christopher Plummer I had a crush on him ever since I saw him and sound of music. He always has, and always will be one of the greatest actors ever!!!
In all my life watching Christopher Plummer, Canada's greatest gift to the Universe, I have never seen such incredible versatility as he shows in this glorious film! As for Dame Maggie Smith, England's gift to the Universe, who cannot but love and adore her. 38 years have passed since this film was released; I truly wonder if film today could ever equal such star power or such brilliant intelligence. Bless you for the post!
Ha ego out of control.. see my reply above this I posted even before I read your reply
Greater, even, than MacKenzie?
He seemed to have ben sexually confused. He loses points for that.
Great comment!
Huge talents
Thank you for the movie I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm the same age as Maggie Smith I'll be 90 in May she'll be 90 in December so I'm a little bit older we were both born in 1934 I hope we both have a long life ahead.
You're welcome. Best wishes for a long life ahead for both of you!
God bless you and Maggie - love & luck to you both! XXX
If age is governed by the optimism and spirit you show , you will keep on going for ages . Thanks for giving us the example ... from a 70ish chicken .😊
OMG! That’s amazing and wonderful. Christopher Plummer is so and beautifully sang in The Sound of Music, Maggie is also very talented and beautiful as well. I loved the 1930’s and 40’s movies. Ginger Rogers, William Powell (Thin Man) I still watch on u tube. 🙏♥️ Many Blessings To You
what a treasure~ Christopher Plummer played the role fabulously
Maggie Smith is one of the finest actresses, ever.
If she’s so good Zelda , why did she make this rubbish ?
@@MrMurraymanson People decide to make a living or other reasons unknown to us, Mr. self righteous. It is called freedom.
We agree!
She's my girl.
@@MrMurraymanson lol
Very Clever and so wonderfully played out by the very talented Plumber and Smith!
Exquisite Actors!
So glad you enjoyed it, Karilee!
Maggie Smith is quite possibly the most beautiful woman (and finest actress) that ever graced the screen.
She is just wonderful - and not that many people watch the '70s/'80s era Maggie Smith titles anymore. Thanks for watching.
No one has mentioned Roberto Terranova's performance have they, I think he'll go far! 😂
How did I ever miss this?! Christopher Plummer delivers perfect. "Two timing strumpet!"
Incredible actors and incredible acting
Adolph Green, who plays Jerry, is the Green of Comden and Green who wrote the screenplay for "Singing in the Rain" and "Bells Are Ringing", as well as the lyrics for Jule Styne's music in the latter show and the lyrics for Leonard Bernstein's songs in :On the Town" , "Wonderful Town" and many other shows. Another note: Fitz and Lili's house is on Prospect Park, just off Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, NY. I enjoyed this film Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching and letting us all know this great background info on the movie. Comden and Green are legends!
@@ChickenSoupForTheSoulTV Yes! A lot of talent in this film. Thank you again.
A lovely funny romantic film with brilliant acting from the cast. Maggie and Christopher are both perfect! Thank you for sharing this fun movie!
I used to be a huge fan of Christopher Plummer for more decades than I can remember ... until I read his memoir and found out who the real Christopher Plummer is. I wish I'd never read that memoir because the man doesn't live up to this immense talent. Yes, in spite of my disappointment in Plummer the man, I still think he's one of the best actors of all time. This film proves it. You just can't help respecting this aspect of him. Maggie Smith is gorgeous and just as big a talent as Plummer. Love her!
Few people have the personas they adapt for public viewing.
What did you read about him that changed your perception?
Actors are doing a job, and anyone with preconceptions about who they are based on their various performances is misguided.
But I do get your point. As the saying goes, 'Never meet your idols'. I worked as a celebrity booker in TV for 20 years, and once or twice discovered my very famous idols had feet of clay.
But those cases were rare. Most stars are charming, and genuinely care what ordinary people think of them. To that end, they remain humble, respectful and cheerful with us ordinary folk.
@@shlokamsrivastava6782 He was a drunk and did stupid things all the time while under the influence. His life was all about this and pretty much nothing else, except that nothing can dispute his talent for acting. Thing is, he continued acting a part even in his private life.
@@szendrichВозможно Вы прочли его книгу между строк, ведь каждый видит только то, что хочет видеть. Вы увидели только негатив в жизни этого великого артиста и экстраординарного человека, и жаль что не узнали Кристофера с другой стороны. Прочтите ещё раз, просмотрите его ролики с интервью разных лет, посмотрите его фильмы( более 100), спектакли, мультфильмы с его озвучкой. Всю жизнь он играл в театрах, начиная свою работу на радио, играя разных персонажей на двух языках ( английском и французском), Кристофер принимал участие в восстановлении шекспировского театра, занимался ландшафтным дизайном, написал книгу в 80 лет! Сколько имён разных людей упомянул он там, не только широко известных, но и просто тех с кем его свела судьба на короткое время. Он был большим тружеником,снимаясь одновременно в нескольких проектах! Кристофер всю жизнь любил животных, особенно - собак! Вылечил ворону и несколько бездомных собак, которые жили у него до самой своей смерти. Он любил их, лечил и переживал когда они умирали. Плохие люди так себя не ведут. Его бравада об алкоголе, есть одна из сторон профессии! Кристофер вырос в семье единственным ребёнком, без отца, и его воспитали женщины( мама, бабушка и тётя), которые привили ему любовь к чтению, языкам, природе и спорту. Подросток боялся казаться " маменькиным сынком " и совершал поступки "плохого мальчика!!! " Кристофер родился в знаменитой и богатой семье, но когда они всё потеряли, семья жила очень скромно. Практически Кристофер всю жизнь работал много и на износ! Он был застенчивым и скромным в повседневной жизни человеком, выплескивая свои эмоции в ролях! Это прослеживается на протяжении жизни в разных документальных кадрах. Он был прекрасным партнёром на сцене и в фильмах. Дружил с некоторыми из них всю жизнь, а это говорит о его человеческих качествах, его дружелюбии, верности и постоянстве!!! Он прожил со своей последней женой более 50 лет.Да Пламмер не был ангелом, но и не был тем, за кого Вы его приняли!!! Я считаю, что он сделал себя сам. Родившись " С серебряной ложкой во рту" он умер "с золотой ложкой"!!! ❤ Принимайте его таким каким он был и любите его, он этого заслуживает!!! 🎬🎼🎹🌹🌹🌹
Missed this one back when it came out! Very interesting premise. Loved Christopher Plummer, great actor, Dame Maggie Smith as well. Big fan of hers as well.
This is my first time seeing this movie. Thank you for sharing it.
You're welcome
Wonderful, brilliant, Superb movie!
A great theater masterpiece! Excellent actors, phonetics and entonation .Very dramatic, deep plo t about real love between them both. Tragic and hilarious. Thank you for uploading this gem ! ❤
You're welcome, Grace - so glad you found this one!
That was jolly well done,
I really liked it.
Maggie and Christopher
are always so good...
Such expressive faces.😊.
🇬🇧💕🇨🇦💕🇨🇦💕🇬🇧
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nice little film with great actors in so/so roles. It was nice seeing Adolph Green in a rare appearance.🎭
Chemistry All the Way ! Fabulous Actors ! You will always be the Star for me - and this will never change ! ❤❤
I recently watched Elsa and Fred,Plummer and Shirley Maclaine,Plummer was really versatile,never saw him laugh so much,nice light movie.
Wonderful acting, great plot, a tonic for my heart ❤ thank you!
Plumber's Roberto made me laugh again & again. Beautiful scene with both the lily--livered quivering Terranova, & the manly, steely-eyed Fitz. A real treat, thank you.
Christopher Plummer was a great Actor
And so handsome
@@wisemanspoke He could play anything! One of my faves!
I loved this movie when it came out. Two great actors. A good story well told.
Good actors, great story and amazing acting such a beautiful movie ! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🙏 Thanks!
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS 👌 Thank you @ Chicken Soup for Soul for posting this one! My 72 year old heart feels lighter and breezy!! Christopher and Maggie are stupendous!!!
You're welcome. They are fun together aren't they?
Maggie Smith is one of my favorite actresses. She’s so good recently. I’ve watched Downton Abbey and she’s absolutely brilliant and some of the things she comes out with like what’s a weekend!?
The music in this film is so well done too imo. The theme song "This Will Never Change" is a gem and the way that the piano and guitar work around each other as heard at the start of the film is superb. Thanks for uploading!
And Danube
Very similar to you don't have to say you love me by dusty Springfield
The music to "This will Never Change" was written by Szalbocs Fenyes, a Hungarian film composer. (Most of his score was dumped; I rescored most of the film and am credited at the end with "Additional Music.") The lyrics were by my friend Martee Lebous (now LeBow), and it was sung by Holly Sherwood, one of the great NY studio singers. That music at the beginning is Fenyes's theme rearranged by me. I haven't heard this in nearly 40 years Mindblowing.
I thought that was instrumental from Where Did Your Heart Go, by Wham
@@cl759 This score predates the Wham record.
Love Maggie Smith and Christopher Plummer....a very good movie...enjoyed it...reminded me of the movie The Chocolate Soldier with Neson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald
A love this strong deserves to last🙂😘
Thankyou for sharing
My very first time watching this movie 🎥 What a treat…Maggie Smith your genius…🥰
Glad you enjoyed it
What a gem!
1984 was such a great year. Maybe it’s because it was my generation that I remember it so fondly, but it seems all doom and gloom these days.
No amount of Brilliant acting and its classy to be sure could possibly disguise the fact that he is obviously someone else ! Fun all the same ! Both great and enduring talents .
How is it obvious that he is someone else? His change in temperament, state, talk, topics, even italian accent...!?
Maggie Smith. I believe she was in the movie The Pride Of Miss Jane Brodie.
That was ‘ The PRIME of Miss Jean Brodie’!
Shalom to us only in Christ Jesus Yeshua returning soon to reign over His creation from Jerusalem forever.
@@toosiyabrandt8676 You are absolutely right
It's a fun film, and I enjoyed it, not least for the performances of its legendary stars Maggie Smith and Christopher Plummer both of whom rarely (if ever), disappoint.
But it must be said, the plot demands the audience suspends disbelief to a dizzying degree! Firstly that the Maggie Smith character wouldn't recognise her own husband of many years, just by the disguise of a blond wig and some latex facial prosthetics (which back in 1984, were useless anyway).
If that premise weren't far-fetched enough, we're also asked to believe she wouldn't know the instantly recognisable, unusually handsome and very famous features of leading man Christopher Plummer (the actor is basically playing himself in this 'eighties rom-com).
I suspect the movie reviewers of the day must have made exactly the same point about plot credibility.
The 'imposter' deceptions in movies like 'Victor Victoria', 'Tootsie' and 'Mrs Doubtfire' work because the context means they're just about credible. Julie Andrews' is a woman, playing a man, playing a woman - a sufficiently dizzying scam to have her audiences - and Paris society - totally fooled.
The set-up for out-of-work actor Michael Dorsey convincing as a middle aged woman in a daytime soap is also believable. Ditto Robin Williams' single dad and voice over artist in 'Mrs Doubtfire', whose career, marriage and kids are his motivation for donning the drag.
But Christopher Plummer's motivation - that he wants a plum role his talented wife wrote, but won't let him have - is too weak and literal.
It has the additional weakness that his wife knows damn fine he wants to play that brilliant role (he told her not two minutes ago), so her guard would surely be up on first recognising the startling facial resemblance between the supposed Italian actor and her hubby!
That said drama is allowed some poetic licence, and I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you sincerely for the upload, I look forward to browsing your fabulous content.
Hy, I just watched that movie, it is amazing, funny and master piece. I love Maggie and Christopher in this movie.
Maggie Smith is always a class act. Thank you for the upload. Really enjoyed it.
Our pleasure!
MAGGIE SMITH !!! The greatest actress of our time ❤❤ This is the most "natural" role Dame Maggie ever played. They should have given her more roles like that 🙏🙏
Better look up her filmography, there you can see it all...
@@barductube I do know her filmography. I have most of her films and have been collecting them for years
@@planetthunderstorm 1. The dowager at Downton Abbey, 2. As the narcisistic school teacher, 3. "Lily in Love and 4. As the old, homeless baglady. I think these I have seen her in , shows quite a wide range,brilliant in them all.
@@Medietos Maggie Smith is THE greatest actress and has an incredible range in her personality and talent, which shows in all of her work. However "Lily In Love" is probably the most natural performance she has done. "My House In Umbria" might come in second, as the most natural performance she has done, although there are some INCREDIBLE comedic and "Grand-Maggie" moments in that one too. Even "The Lonely Passion Of Judith Hearne", which might be her greatest performance EVER, is not the portrayal of woman we can relate that much to, as we understand and KNOW the character of Lily :)
I love this movie! Hilarious :)
"Terranova's" photo looks like Richard Chamberlain.😊
Maggie Smith is wearing Kaffe Fassett designed knitwear throughout the film! Good Taste!
He personified the sentimentally but gentlemanly Italian romantic so well.
Maggie Smith in Marigold Hotel 😂😂🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏👏
My first time seeing it, and wow! sneaky and fun!
This movie was enjoyable, but I agree with the previous comment. There is no way Lily would not have recognised her own husband. His height, the timber of his voice etc. LOL.
of course she knew it from the start 😉😂
The "Hands Off" note on the script and "No Tresspassing" on the door... that was her trap for him. She knew he would bite and he did, immediately! And then when she invites him to the cottage...oops forgot to tell you about the door... here have some liver... pure torture & she's having a ball!
But she did know, that's the whole point 🤣
if you listened to the final dialogue you'd know she designed the plot
(-A woman using his PC):why is there no way, if she is swept off her feet and infatuated with her desire and blood burning, it all happening so quickly too, and her real life and husband being fara way? If he was a good actor who changed his whole being and energy? If she were not suspicious at all, and maybe a little less intelligent and sensitive?(Which she was not, I know).
- Upom re-watching some parts, I see you're probably right.
Brilliant acting
This is *fabulous,* *darling,* *absolutely* *fabulous!*
Twenty minutes in.
So simple and brilliant idea for most romantic thing in longlife relationship, sweet 80, proper thing! Very enjoyable
Glad you enjoyed it!
Coming to the comments, to decide whether to watch the film or not😅
I really enjoyed this film. Thanks so much 🙏❤😘
Our pleasure!
Such beautiful movie ,
I will watch it again later……don’t want to spoil my enjoyment by getting bored
Thank you 💐
Luckily there was no internet back then, or she would have easily found out that Roberto Terranova did not exist.
I adpre both of these actors...watching..oct. 2023
I immediately noticed that the musical theme begins the same way as Billy Joel’s 1977 song “The Stranger - released 7 years before this film came out. The bridge seems like the bridge from “I’m a Fool to Want You” both lovely pieces. This theme works well for the film but I kept hearing the other tunes.
Blessings in disguise! Very good acting by the bests*!
You can't go wrong with Maggie Smith and Christopher Plummer! Thanks for watching, Caroline.
I loved it - it had everything
Thanks for watching and for the nice words.
Fantastic story
great movie
loved the scenes of
Budapest in the 80's.
Silly story but at this point we just watch Maggie Smith being Maggie Smith and Christopher Plumber being Christopher Plumber and that's enough.
Not silly at all. Is there no one in your life with whom you would like to make amends but with whom you could not interact if not well-disguised..
What a LOVE story HA!!!!
Thank you very much!
💓💓💓🙋🏻♀️🥰
You're welcome! We think this one is a little gem - and we're so glad you found it.
It reminds me the film My geisha, starring Yves Montand and Shirley MacLaine.
Great movie and music
So glad you liked it, Maaida!
Mr Plummer is such a good actor sometimes never really appreciated I think❤
r
Love it! Ha!Ha!
Que maravilla de pelicula! Me gustaría seguir mirando películas de este calibre.
Surely it is not Ch Plummer himself saying these phrases with absolutely perfect Italian accent?!Either this or it is dubbed.😊
Christopher Plumbs the depths
i know every millimeter of my mans hands, she has to be able to tell but of course we wouldn't have this awesome movie, lol
Ahh but she did. Like he said at the end, "did you concoct this whole thing up from the beginning?" So she was 'playing along'.
@@john99218 Yes, but she did start to fall for her own made up Italian slimy mozzarella character 😅
Such an interesting and entertaining movie 👏👏👏
That's exactly what I thought
if you listened to the final dialogue you'd know she designed the plot
This is hilarious😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it, Mairead!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Wonderful actors! Kinda reminds me of Tootsie. ❤
So glad you enjoyed it!
Nice and rare blue Lada 1500 at #32:33, and cool sights of Budapest 😃.
So we do find it easy to recognize him. But it's a movie. In some more "real" staging, it would be more difficult to recognize him. Do we need heavy hiding as viewers when we're supposed to be in on the secret? This is called story telling. We see what we're supposed to see, and the characters see what they're supposed to see. If the film did otherwise, it would also damage what we're supposed to see, and that's not good storytelling. We're looking at (excellent) acting, not some version of a reality show.
Quite so. But consider Dustin Hoffman's 'Tootsie'.
@@jakeornot6306 Tootsie is as heavily hidden as the character needs to be to pass as a believable character - to impersonate not just for one person, but for *all* characters. When cross-dressing, you're taking on some heavy human instincts that can lead to perception of deception. And Hoffman himself was most concerned when playing the part that he could be made up well enough to be believable in the role. He's another top-quality actor, making it possible for us viewers to suspend our disbelief, with costuming and makeup fit to the task. Cross-dressing was not looked upon in the same way in the 1980s as it is now, so the demands of the role were as needed then, as were the demand of the viewers. But it's the same principle.
26:33 wow, the disguise rivals that of Dustin Hofman in Tootsie
He didn't look that different apart from the hair and the wrinkles. She would have been suspicious from the start.
of course she knew 😉😂
if you had listened to the final dialogue you'd know she designed the plot
You have to suspend a vast amount of disbelief!
Can somebody tell me where i xan download the background music in the intro and the song at the end of the movie ?
Ive never heard something so sensual all my life.
Please this is an sos.
I want the entire soundtrack
Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack - truly lovely
It’s in the credits at the end.
Lucia, please, look for another comments above
Absolute GROAN.
The British know how to act ,,,,
My chickens name is lily
"My Geisha" with sexes reversed and taken to its ultimate conclusion. Plummer segues from John Barrymore to Vincent Price.
Wonderful actors...and the sad life of a narcissist
Fitzroy/Plummer was quite the character, wasn't he?
1:13:50 she knows who he is she knew from before this.. Ps: this film is brilliant the whole thing; the write, the acting very very..
(- A woman using his PC): Please tell me(us) examples of how you knowthat she knew. did you tell on a 1st viewing or later?`Maybe if I watch it agvain I'll see, but I didn't until she asked him sth he couldn't know as the real italian actor. Is it only yot´r hypothesis ort conclusion, or did you actúally see and hear signs/proof?
- Upon re-watching soem bits, I see you-re right. Her mischievous, content, excited little smile as she puts the "Hnads off" notices up. The goose liver and goose-smile. But she is pretending for his role character and for her husband to continue and not be revealed so as not to break the spell of pretense. And of course Roberto is exaggerated, however well played and however silly and mad Italians can be when flirting or thinking they're in love.
The scene where he imposes himself on her on the bench is strangely out of character of the sensitive, caring gentleman. Or does he want to show another, manly, sexual mside as well.?
Guess they both needed the work! Hell, I shd just shut up and watch it.
How possible she didn't recognize his hands? May be he had also make-up on them.
She knew it was him, the whole thing was her idea.
if you had listened to the final dialogue you'd know she designed the plot
Lily in Love (1984) / 5.7
Broadway star Fitzroy Wynn (Christopher Plummer) is thrilled when his wife Lily (Dame Maggie Smith) writes a new script with a brilliant lead role. While egocentric Fitz thinks himself perfect for the role, Lily dashes his hopes when she admits she wants to find someone different for the part. Fitz refuses to give up his pursuit. Enlisting the reluctant help of his agent, Fitz poses as Roberto Terranova, a young Italian actor and the exact model of what Lily wants for the role. But trouble arises when Lily appears to be falling for the charming Italian, and Fitz is left to wonder just how serious she was about finding someone different.
Put back on movie like baby dance 1997 back on
Good but wound down at the end - Elke Somers was not a fit for the role AT ALL and movies now cannot avoid using curse words as casual conversations - such is the sewer we've descended to.
oh good-Free~~~TU
this is an eighties movie in the tradition of the thirties screwball comedies, a cineastic feast and every actor's desire once in a lifetime, nobody forced them to do it! But obviously some don't get it, it was meant to be ridiculous to bring him to his senses and mirror his idiocy, if you listen to the final dialogue you'll know she designed the whole plot. The one thing I don't like in this movie are the colours, everything black and blue, t'was the fashion of the day and the poor materials we had those days (being a photographer). Technicolour was over, earlier films had been bright and colourful, those days they weren't, all those dreary colours in good movies except on TV in pop culture. What a pity. Mostly in british films though.
Why was technicolor over? I never understood that
The idea of such comedies is even from classical opera-buffa with changing of the roles an costumes, images.
In the style of Figaro's Wedding(Mozart), Servant-misstrees(Pergolesi)... So, it's from Classicism era.)))
Thank goodness this is NOT a "screwball comedy." For that, you would need a film like, ''His Girl Friday'.
Why would any woman want to stay with a drunk beats me
Only a blind person wouldn't recognise him. 😂
SPOILER ALERT Had to ruin the opening scene by throwing in saxophone.
I love MS but let's admit this is a rather silly film. That appearing/disappearing moustache of CP is ridiculous and Maggie talks about her ridiculous hat in Harry Potter or apparently doesn't approve of Downton..... Remember this film Maggie dear????
obviously you didn't get it, it was meant to be ridiculous to bring him to his senses and mirror his idiocy, if you had listened to the final dialogue you'd know she designed the whole plot.
Very likely...you're 10 years old
Volume is to low to follow
It's nothing of the kind TOO low to understand; get your ears tested!
