    What a decent movie! Not surprised only 405 likes..nobody wants to watch a "corny" film like this.
    But these are the values I grew up with in the 1950's:
    my mother was the president of the PTA + garden club.
    My dad was an engineer who started every day M-F leaving cut grapefruit on the table then going to 6:30 am Mass before working. He was my brother's Boy Scout leader. I was so blessed and appreciate it more every day. This 🎥🍿 is so special. Thank you so much.

      Typical classic old Hollywood with the Cowboy and his brave "Indian" sidekick. Portraying a man as a caricature with all the stereotypes of a Native American.

      Heathercliff, I agree. They made entertaining films, and that's probably why the movie industry had it's" Golden Age".
      Nowadays, they seem to think we all want to see violence, cruelty, explosions, stressful situations, etc.
      I hardly watch t.v. now : ( just have a look at the number of films, dramas, soaps, etc., involving crime, murder, disasters, aliens, paranormal rubbish, porn, foul language, any sort of nastiness ) , except maybe the more challenging quiz shows, fine classical music, or documentaries..sure there are some excellent things made now, but the general trend is downwards...... it's so sad really .
      It's so nice to dip into the huge number of old films and shows here on RUclips. They have been particularly valuable during these sad virus times, making us laugh . I've just found Jay Leno's " Headlines" , often l.o.l. , every few seconds.😊.
      Thank you so much for valuing these old films and letting us lose ourselves in the stories.
      Saw " The Luck of the Irish" not so long ago, a charming film.

      @@rosemariemann1719 We certainly seemed to have been led astray. It is sad how we have willingly allowed for it to corrupt, especially onto young minds. They will never know a time where most of us drew the line when it came to depraved degenerate behaviour. What a world. And yes, I’m so grateful to RUclips, to be able to escape to a time not long ago that was less agro, self obsessed, and demanding of respect without earning it. Be well ❤️

    To me, the most memorable scene in this movie was when John Boles sang the song "Danny Boy"for his young son on the dinner table. It was a particularly moving scene, featuring thru John Boles character singing his love for his son Danny. It reminded me of my father, who also sung me songs when I was a little lad. It is a treasure to see this old movie again. I often watched the afternoon TV matinee during those hot summer afternoons along with my friends and siblings at home when I was a kid, and this was one of those memorable gems I remember to this day. Thanks for uploading this pizzaflix. For those who dislike this movie, you sirs/madames have no soul whatsoever!

    A "tear jerker" of a "comedy". I've yet to see a Phil Rosen film that I didn't like.

    as big a budget as he deserved.

    The kid is a good little actor but I'm not sure it's any better to dress a boy up in men's clothes than it is to dress a little girl up in women's clothes-- it just looks unnatural. The father needs to grow a backbone, he's too milktoast.

    • @jasondomingo5313
      @jasondomingo5313 4 года назад +5

      Dear Ms. Wanda James, If any character needs to grow a backbone in this movie is the woman named MILLIE, or in short, Danny's mother. It was Danny's mother decision to put Danny in military school not the father, who wanted to take full responsibility to raise his son properly. If John Boles character did not have any backbone he would not have snubbed the butler at the door or demanded that he take full custody and responsibility in raising Danny right even though he had very limited resources and was in fact, on the verge of becoming a pauper. John Boles character is not a milk toast he is a man willing to take responsibility for the care and welfare of someone he loves and do the right thing possible. If there is any milktoast character in this movie, again it is MILLIE, the negligent mother! Please watch this movie again and make comments that are base on the movie's premise.
