Leigh was an incredible actress. Her performance in Streetcar was truly one of film history's greatest but she was wonderful in everything she was in, including this. What I always found the most charming about this film was probably the secondary love story which was between Myra & Kitty (played by Virginia Field), they had a very sweet & loyal friendship, they really went to the bat for one another.
I love watching this movie, it is very moving tragic love story. I wished it turned out differently in the end, that after all the hardships myra has endured that she would get her happy ending with roy. The romantic in me believes he would have forgiven her and still would have married her.
Thanks for posting this full movie! A really beautiful movie. It's a more moving story of Vivien Leigh than in Gone With the Wind. She showed her great acting prowess in this black and white movie. And she is indeed beautiful, cinematically beautiful!
This film, made weeks after GWTW shows how a great Artist Vivien Leigh was- Myra is completely the opposite to Scarlett and in both roles she is perfect- I admire talent, beauty & class- Miss Vivien had everthing !!!!
Strangely or maybe not, this movie was a box office hit only in Europe and Asia, but not U.S. The downer ending was prob why. But this movie and GWTW did capture Leigh at her beauteous peak.
Beautiful film. Watched it as a child, didn't know everything that was going on then, though understood that somehow, Myra had committed a grave offense against her love. The feelings we draw from the ending are dual. I.e. We can sympathize with a love lost or if we put ourselves in Myra's shoes, we can see that sometimes, we do something so horrible that its realization shocks us to an extent where we frantically seek escape from it (i,e. in this case ending life and regaining some 'control').
My personal favorite actress. I love the dance scene at the supper club, but the London Underground scenes (especially when she is reunited with Roy) is great acting. I thought the closing scene with Roy trying to keep his military bearing and keep it together was very good too. Among romances I can remember, I'd put this up there with Love Story, Romeo and Juliet, The Sun Also Rises (Helen Hayes version), The English Patient, Wuthering Heights and Meet John Doe.
Awww DAMMMIT! I just HATE when Vivien Leigh doesn't get the guy in the end and that happened in more that one of her more famous films. Gone With the Wind comes to mind.
One of the most heartbreaking endings in all of cinema. In today's movies, they'd show the entire corpse just for shock factor. These classic movies never went there bc they respected their audience's intelligence way too much. Notice how Vivien acts out her final minutes onscreen with her eyes, letting them tell the story. I still cannot watch this scene without tearing up.
Came here to see the magnificent, marvelous, Mad Madame Mim voice actress from The Sword and the Stone, Martha Wentworth. Her Wiki says she's billed here as "Tart on bridge at end of film". I nearly coughed up a lung when I read that. Now I may die of suffocation yet once more after reading the comment here comparing the sound effect for the suicide crash seen here to the Flintstones' car brakes. Lolol... That is so absolutely spot on. I'd actually be more surprised to learn the same audio sample HADN'T been used for both. Jajajajajaja....
Thank you very much for uploading! I very much like better the movies of yesteryears. Some movies of today are just a rehash of these movies. Again, many thanks!
One of most touching moment in my life when hope is gone you know it from the eyes stay good and love every moment of your life because you are good dear sir and mm♥
Lloré, es un final trágico pero la película es bellísima... El soundtrack llega alma; lastima que nunca conoceré a alguien que aprecie esto tanto como yo.
For 1940, this was pretty dark and "edgy", also very sad. I love how her downturn was handled very gracefully. How days, they'd show some sex scene with her and a guy. I was hoping because it was 1940s hollywood, somehow she would be alive...
I was so upset when I just finished watching the movie, this is one of those films where sadness is unalloyed. I dearly love Golden Hollywood films but too many of them have wonderfully woven tales but sloppy endings, I felt that it could have been better elaborated.
In the original 1931 film version, Myra's death was MUCH more disturbing. Instead of getting run over, she is blown to bits during a bombing raid. I'm guessing the earlier film was more like the play. Anyone know. Obviously they thought Myra's death in the earlier film was too upsetting. I also understand that the movie was remade again in 1956 with a happy ending as 'Gaby'
Robert Taylor was actually American. He did a convincing British accent in this film. BTW how old is his character supposed to be in the beginning and end "present day" scenes? 50? 55? 60?
Hmm..... He sounds very American to me! I don't think Robert Taylor changed his accent for ANY of his films. Must be who Kevin Costner based his acting skills on. Robert's accent is very American, but holds an element of the old theatrical, generic "American" which is indistinct. Much like the posh "Queen's English" we Brits had in films then. Very few people actually speak like that.
Well actually it would seem more tragic in the earlier 1931 film,because she had wanted to live rather than die, in spite of everything. Another major difference is that the earlier film is done in "real time"(in other words, the events are occurring as we see them, whereas in THIS remake, they are done in flashback style) Being that the earlier film was as a rule more faithful to the play, I'm guessing the bomb killing is closer to what was originally conceived on stage.
Chris Mulwee Hmm..... He sounds very American to me! I don't think Robert Taylor changed his accent for ANY of his films. Must be who Kevin Costner based his acting skills on. Robert's accent is very American, but holds an element of the old theatrical, generic "American" which is indistinct. Much like the posh "Queen's English" we Brits had in films then. Very few people actually speak like that.
But would it really have been so very upsetting? I mean, dying due to an air raid, well she couldn't have really controlled it. Just unlucky. Getting run over, well, that goes more personal, we get inside her head, how much she couldn't live without him but also not with him. A personal choice of the matter. I'd think this would be more upsetting on the psychological level. The air-bomb raid would be so in the physical, bloody level.
I fully sympathize with those who'd want a return of movies this beautifully made. I do not, however, wish for the return of the mind-set at work here that undeniably suggests a woman's worth rests entirely on the state of her virginity, or is not her own authority over the exercise and dominion of her own sexuality. Yet even today, we have no end of right-wing politicians who long for nothing more than to take us back to exactly that.
can anyone explain why lady margaret was unable to get in touch with myra after their first meeting? because that could have prevented the whole tragedy
Idk the exact music but there's an Indian remake by the same tune known as 'Chand Sifaarish' haha. Maybe you can listen to that and see if someone mentioned the reference there
Vivian Leigh will always be one of my favorites. But the 1931 version... Mae Clark and the unknown, very young fellow who played Roy were so, so convincing. Anyway, thanks for posting, although I can, mysteriously, only find part 8. TCM just showed this, so maybe they pulled yours down?
I'm just wondering overall in general which ending was more like the original Broadway play,the bombing, or her deliberately committing suicide, by walking into the path of an Army Truck.
I don't know much about the play, in fact nothing at all, so I can't say anything about it. I'll just stick to my opinion that suicide seems like the more heart-breaking of the two endings.
...kind of like when the Romans were entertained by the gladiators killing each other. That was real. Our movies are the same thing except no one really gets killed. Maybe in another 70 years, we will have gravitated to where the Romans were just before they fell.

I remember back if she had only told his mother she thought he had died...she would have seen her taken care of.
I kind of hate Myra for killing herself.
Brilliant film. The story, the ending, the music including Auld Lang Syne. The quintessential tear jerker.
One of my favorite Vivien movies ever. So heartbreaking yet a masterpiece!
MYRA:
❥ I loved you.
❥ I've never loved anyone else.
❥ I never shall.
❥ That's the truth, Roy.
❥ I never shall
This words i keep repeating every now and then
The story in this film, once seen, will stay with you forever. Fabulous but so very sad. 😥
I love that movie even If ending is so....tragic. Vivien was the best
Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor were perfect casts.
Very romantic movie.
Why does Hollywood not make sucha movie any more?
They have a trans claiming to be a Woman a Biological man playing Vivian now
Look at the trash today. Why do old anyone want to see their mugs on screen? 4:05
Thanks for bring back this memorable movie. The first time I saw it was 59 years ago.
And sadly she left us way too early. Dying in 1967(the year I was born), aged only 53.

Such a wonderful film...the music always touches me. Sad but I love it. Hollywood at its very best!!!!
I`ve watched this movie maybe 3 times over many years apart but I couldn`t watch it again, too depressing.
I kind of wished I didn't watch that. Broke my heart.
Thank you, for uploading this film. i had been searching for this film for so long. I really enjoyed. Beautiful film.
Great picture. Thanks for posting.

wonderful love movie that I have ever seen
A five-hankie classic !
Film was made in an era when personal honor and dignity actually meant something.
Sad end, but great love movie!
Thank you very much for uploading! I very much like better the movies of yesteryears. Some movies of today are just a rehash of these movies. Again, many thanks!
Oh how so very sad! But so beautiful! I'm touched. Cryingly so. Oh, how sad. And the soundtrack is so beautiful!
One of most touching moment in my life when hope is gone you know it from the eyes stay good and love every moment of your life because you are good dear sir and mm♥

Hi Dave dvlaries, Your comment is so eloquent and kind. We need more men like you!

If only Myra could tell Mrs Margaret Cronin about Roy’s misunderstanding death

Oh. Nevermind then? I don't know...

+Heru- deshet Both Leigh and Taylor have identified this film as their personal favorite of all the films they ever did.

Interesting.
Boo Hoo, so sad.
