Bernstein's 'satire' of modernist music at 27:00 is a delight: canny, witty and deeply intelligent - yet laced with his trademark syncopation...a think of beauty and a well covered and edited scene.
I love this movie, since I was small. I was very sick in isolation at Children's hospital, and the nurse put on, the TV. It's a sweet, drama/comedy, family film, with no sex crap, violence or foul mouths. Great cast with some pretty scenes of old Central Park and city glitz. The the girls met and became friends and then with, Mr. Boyd and Marion's mother. Bootsy too. I was hoping he would hook up with Mrs. Gilbert. 😍 Henry was outta there real quick! Peter Sellers was so nutty. 😂🤪👍✈️
@@pressureworkswhy do we like conflict so much as humans?😂 they are saying the movie as a whole such as cult status the film is very underrated hell even even 1964 it was undervalued
While this movie was being filmed I was 11 years old and my family and I were in Washington DC on vacation. JFK was assassinated a few months later in November 1963. This movie is adorable and captures the mood, setting, and environment of 1960s life in NYC. Divorce and separation were beginning to become common amongst post WWII marriages. NYC was a safe place to live and visit, and was still predominantly white. NYC was a culture all its own. Life was good there. Restaurants, museums, movies, theater, and many beautiful department stores provided endless choices of entertainment and pleasant excursions.
@@geraldinemcgowan2385 Much more realistic than this film. I love TWOHO with all my heart but it is strictly an idealized version of female adolescent experience.
I never knew Peter Sellers was so dishy in the early years! And never knew of this movie. Thank you for posting it. Such a great critique of the pretentiousness of adult circles. And full of typical Sellers' ridiculous anomalies. Great.
I don't think you'd have thought him a dish in the actual early years. In The Ladykillers (1955) he's quite fat and the character is extremely unattractive 😅. This is him about 9 years later.
Sellers had - and has - no equal as a British actor doing an American accent (President Merkin Muffley, Clare Quilty) but here he tops just about everything: doing a Brooklyn born two-bit classical pianist who affects (and not very well, I might add) a generic central European accent - absolute brilliance.
Merrie got along with Sellers very well. Said he kept her laughing between takes. Tippy did not get along with him. Figures. Tippy even trashed Tom Bosley for being "cold and rude" to her.
Great to know Mr C landed on his feet and started a new family after Mrs C ran off with Arthur Fonzarelli. But he does prove to still be a great father.
I was at an indoor flea market this past weekend in New Bedford Mass. and I stumbled on this big film reel about a foot and a half wide loaded with film. I bought it just because I liked the looks of the big reel and when I got home I pulled some of the film off to see what it was, turns out it's part 6 of this movie. It looks original and it's in great shape. I'd like to get some stills pulled from the film itself, but I'm not really sure what type of film it is. It's about 1"/5/16ths wide, I'm wondering if anyone has some better insight as to the guage of the film. Would it be considered 35 mm? I don't know. Thanks for any help.
Thank you! The scenes in Gino's restaurant make it appear to be on an east/west street, not on Lexington Avenue where I thought it was. Does anyone know if it was once at another address? There's a restaurant in the Village , maybe 10th or 11th Street, not sure ,that looks similar, but I don't think it was called Gino's. Also, if Henry takes a cab to his apartment on East 64th, he wouldn't be likely to be at Gino's which was only a short walk away..
I saw this as a kid and thought it great. Paula Prentiss with Henry in so many scenes! This print is chopped up. Where is the ending? Swear there are a scene or two missing…
I'm not even gonna BOTHER watching this here even though it is a good movie, because I KNOW that youtube after playing the 1st 20 minutes ad free will subsequently interrupt every 10 minutes w/ 1-3 minutes of ads - very sad...

In Heavenly Creatures their fantasy world was much more intense, elaborate and violent. Also one of them was having sex with a young man when she was 14🫤
Both of those Greenwich Village houses are dumps. Why would wealthy people live in such frumpy surroundings? I can't understand what point the set designer and decorator were making.
Are you judging the condition of the Greenwich Village houses by how they look today? Because I assume the homes were fine to represent not-wealthy families living ordinary lives... in very early 1960s. The movie was made in 1964, based on the book of the same name which was written in 1958. I haven't seen the movie in over 50 years (!) but as a non-New Yorker (and about the same age as the girls in the movie), I only saw something very interesting, if cramped. I had no point of reference re Grenwich Village. I loved it and I'm so glad I found it here on You Tube!♡♡♡

@@dancochrane5577 and she blamed him...and everybody else for the miserable hash she made of her life. Ha, she got tons more film time. Said she disliked Merrie when they were doing the film.

All in all a great film. Something teenage girls at the time could relate to.

One of my favorite accidental discoveries as a child. Nobody knows about this forgotten Gem.
Well 0ver 29,000 people have watched the video, so that's alot of nobodies.

This captures female adolescence better than any other film.

Ideal with a happy ending , I love it
I absolutely loved this movie as a child! Thank-you!
Thanks Soooo Much, this is 1 of my favorite Peter Sellars Movies. More Great movies in this collection. Thanks !
Phenomenal acting by the two girls!
Saw this when first came to theaters. Being from Manhattan, I loved the scenes in Central Park and other locations.
Cute movie with innocent charm and 60's fashion appeal. Thanks for the upload!
Great film with Peter Sellers. First time seeing it. So sixties!
A family favorite of ours during the winter holidays.
Another classic here (OK, they're all classics but some are more classic than others) ... Thankfully managed to catch up with this one finally too...
This is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for posting it!
Level of acting by Paula and Tippy awesome 👏 my hometown

Hugh Laurie.
That's nothing - Sellars impression of Kubrick while he was pretending to be the undercover police detective was amazing!!
@@pressureworksThat's just the one accent.
@@sparagmos4748 Glad you told me otherwise I would have had no idea even though I actually knew
@@pressureworks If you knew why would you think that the performance was comparable?
Merrie got along with Sellers very well. Said he kept her laughing between takes. Tippy did not get along with him. Figures. Tippy even trashed Tom Bosley for being "cold and rude" to her.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for uploading

The only thing I can think of is to call around in LA or google film historians or film restoration etc.
Such a cute movie.

Bellissimo.
I did something smiliar to this when 14 so enjoy this movie.
Angela Lansbury! ❤
Nice!❤
I was 11. Wearing my mom's mink was a sneaky thrill
I was 12!
Lovely ❤
With Al Lewis Dracula
So cute 😊
I saw this as a kid and thought it great.
Paula Prentiss with Henry in so many scenes!

Kinda like that movie where the girls kill the mum…..Thank goodness it isn’t. Or “Ghost World “.
Daniel Clowes was inspired by this book and movie while he was writing/drawing the Ghost World comic.
That's interesting. Ghost World is one of my favorites as well.
In Heavenly Creatures their fantasy world was much more intense, elaborate and violent. Also one of them was having sex with a young man when she was 14🫤

It just a movie It’s
😂😂🎉🎉🎉called acting
CRAP
Do you mean like stalking, "slipping a Miltown in her drink", and why is she so afraid of her husband? . . these are very contemporary themes.
This movie is stupid!!!!!
Why do you think it’s stupid?
Yes, very dumb. Crazy Valerie!
A brilliantly observed film really capturing young girl's fixations and amplifying why they're called 'jail bait'.
You're the problem, not teen girls 🫤🤔
