- Perfect casting, script & acting make "Kipps", based on the novel by H.G.Wells, a wonderful and hugely entertaining film. Michael Redgrave, as the lead character (who finds that money cannot buy true happiness) heads a sterling cast of British players, with Phyllis Calvert & Diana Wynyard as the two women in his life. The film was directed by Carol Reed at the Gaumont British studios in England, but was one of the films financed by Twentieth Century Fox through the deal struck when Gaumont British faced a financial crisis in 1938. Child actors Philip Frost & Diana Calderwood portray Kipps and his first love Ann as children, and their sensitive performances for the first 15 minutes of the film draw the viewer in for the story to follow. Philip Frost metamorphizing into Michael Redgrave is believable, except for the fact that Master Frost and Mr Redgrave part their hair on opposite sides! "Kipps" has been transmitted several times on C4, but the last screening was now over 10 years ago, and with no sign of any dvd release, this film is a most worthy candidate for re-appraisal. The story was of course remade as the musical "Half a sixpence" with Tommy Steele, and although this original film was not a musical, there are a few musical interludes along the way. Recently the cut down US release print of the film has been shown on Talking Pictures TV in the UK, but presented here is the longer UK release as shown over 10 years ago on C4.
AND loved the adverts "Umpteen times better than the sick mindless regurgitated puke of 2023".
😅😂😅
Thank you for making available this delightful British classic. RUclips provides access to films like this that would otherwise be unavailable for viewing. Here it is just a click away. Thanks for that too.
Lol ,when they said they had changed the way I spell my last name I would have shown them the door ...
Redgrave and the crew brought this theatre piece to LIFE. tOTALLY wonderful.
Thank you for posting. How you find these gem movies to keep us entertained is outstanding. Yes please another cup please.
Well phrased but let me add, our "cup runneth over" psalm 23, even if only for a little over an hour at a time. Thanks again. Sincerely, Laura-Lee
Hello, all you cousins from over the pond. . .here's a Yankee girl checking in. . .I just have to say I enjoy so much all you regular English folks, you are really very charming: it shows in this production. Truth to tell, "Hollyweird", for most Americans has grown to be depressing and a disgrace, so I appreciate what you have to offer. Also, sorry, don't mean to offend, but I can get along nicely without the blue bloods - though I think I can speak for the whole of the USA that we loved your Princess Diana. . .a jewel in the form of a person. . .cheerio!
Hi. With respect. It’s totally impossible for you to think that you speak for the whole of America. It would be better to be realistic and speak 🗣️ for yourself
Hollowood too.
@@paulrowe606Many of us feel as the commentator says.
I agree with Paul Rowe. I'm American, and I find it arrogant and ridiculous when anyone says, "I think that I speak for all Americans when I say.......". The point is not who agrees with you and who does not. The point is, please do not attempt to speak for an entire country. Simply giving your own opinion, would be best.
@paulrowe606 Actually it is correct. Pretty much everyone in the US loved Diana.
An enchanting movie, a story of innocence and love lost, and then found again.
Well worth the watch!
These black and white movies are the best.
Thank you for sharing.

Ok...so...Some people hate ads. I live in the U. S.and I LOVED seeing the British ads. I enjoyed the film. Thank you for sharing.
Great movie! Wonderful Michael Redgrave! How beautiful Calvert and Wynyard were. Today's movies don't come up to these old ones IMHO. Thank you, eh44returns!

Michael Redgrave,
also good in " The Importance
Of Being Earnest".
🙂
Agreed. Great film!
My mother ran a pub The Red Lion in London in the 1950's and Arthur Riscoe who plays the part of Chitterloe in this movie was a regular. he was a really nice man who was in many theatre productions on the stage during that period.
Howard Johnson Cool too know.
@Nuka Cola I keep having that thought plague me while watching these gems from yesterday :(
Was it 'The Red Lion' in Greenford, Middlesex?
@Nuka Cola Dreadful isn't it. The London of my childhood has gone and so has it's people-a rich working-class culture extinct. Sad.
Change is inevitable in a world that continues to produce tyrants which result in migration the world OVER. Every great society crumbles in time. We have no choice but to accept this turmoil which is the world as it has ALWAYS been. There is no stability that lasts more than a generation. Change must be tolerated or we will all perish because of it. :( Sad but - the world keeps moving from one thing to another. I do NOT embrace it - but rather accept it as best I can.
With such great British actors and actresses like. Phylis Calvert, Margaret Lockwood, Patrica Roc. Michel Redgrave John Mills, Stewert Grainger, and many others, who needs Hollywood.Thank you for sharing. Love it.
Stwart Granger! drool.....
I appreciate Hollywood too but not very much what it has become these days. Yet, I must admit that there is something about British actors that far surpasses all others. Bravo and kudos. Sincerely, Laura-Lee BibleandBiz.blogspot.com (entertainment from a Biblical perspective)
Grateful to weigh difference 'tween big
house building vs. small house building
plan this couple is considering. Quite
a practical vs. social decision .
Add Robert Donat (my fave) and Deborah Kerr. Watch Donat in the Hitchcock's The 39 Steps, Michael Redgrave in The Lady Vanishes, Deborak Kerr in The Black Narcissus.
Well, just in 1941, there was The Maltese Falcon, Sullivan's Travels, Citizen Kane, How Green Was My Valley, All That Money Can Buy. Perhaps there is a place for both.
Loved this movie, the actors, the suspense, even the commercials!
Agree. They make neither films nor commercials as they used to.
Just what I was looking for! Some great movies currently on RUclips. Sometimes there's a drought, then they all come together!
There are many great films on YT... lucky for us!
I know and sometimes they only appear one time in the recommended listso you have to immediately upon seeing them save them to watch later
Well youve done it again, another great movie!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!😚
A really great film!
Thank you so much for making this wonderful film available. I also enjoyed the black and white British ads. The actors were marvelous. The story is heartwarming; which I can appreciate, as it was 22 degrees Fahrenheit last night in sunny South Carolina, USA. Be safe, and thank you once again.
Good to revisit these old films. Feel good endings and some extraordinary performances. I suppose if this were made today - it might have been titled 'Half a sixpence'. :) Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! I've read the book and it's exactly how it is described . I love this kind of story.
👍👍👍
Another film I've been hoping for years to see! I read the novel as part of an English Lit class back in high school (won't say how many years ago that was!) and fell in love with Wells' comic writing. Also had the privilege of seeing the revival of HALF A SIXPENCE, the stage musical, in London a year ago, and I have the DVD of Tommy Steele's film version of the same musical (and it's amazing that he's still performing after all these years).
Michael Wilding, the brother who runs off with the money, was Elizabeth Taylor's husband at one time, of course.
I knew I had heard the title before. Tommy Steele brought it all back to me. Thank you.
the child actor who played young Artie is a real dreamboat ... wonder why he didn't make a career of it?
"Would you be my girl?" How innocent in those days!!!
Especially as Redgrave was more interested in boys. But I don't care. His acting is magestorial & his wife, actress Rachel Kempson, put up w his antics. Their 3 children all actors too... & all excellent.
@@mckavitt13 the line was actually delivered by Kipps as a boy (Philip Frost)!
@@eh44returns97 Right you are!
Haha, then he said, "what good is having a girl if you can't kiss her".
Redgrave reminds me of a young Gary Cooper in this film! I've never seen a resemblance before.
Yes, you're right.
Particularly Cooper in "Peter Ibbotson".
I have been looking for this movie for three whole years having originally found a still of it. Immensely grateful for you sharing it. Another gap filled.
Great film!

I must be watching too many old British movies- I recognized Felix Aylmer in an uncredited part.
Beautifully told story of a good-natured boy/man, his job, his women, his position in society, and what he learns about love.
Perfect casting, script & acting make "Kipps", based on the novel by H.G.Wells, a wonderful and hugely entertaining film.
Michael Redgrave, as the lead character (who finds that money cannot buy true happiness) heads a sterling cast of British players, with Phyllis Calvert & Diana Wynyard as the two women in his life.

Philip Frost metamorphizing into Michael Redgrave is believable, except for the fact that Master Frost and Mr Redgrave part their hair on opposite sides!

Thank you for sharing. Really enjoyed.
Thank you for providing us this lovely film!
The fat woman who works in the shop l think is the maid in "Mary Poppins"
I love the movie thinkyou "
Here I am back a year later I found a great dramas so good I'll watch it again .January 27, 2019 .
It's nearly time to watch it again! ☺
Well? Did they 2019 and 20?? Worlds comen to a end so get it in there!!!
¡,
Fast forward to "The way to the Stars" -again with Michael Redgrave and another little baby boy -even the wife looks similar; or were all women just as pretty??".
Thanks very much for bringing this to us. I love England/London in those turn of the century days. Very enjoyable. (From Washington, DC) Here's wishing you a wonderful New Year!!
I love London even today. Who cares where we Americans come from? 😄
What a wonderful movie! I really enjoyed it! The commercials were a bit of a surprise. But being from the U.S. I found it rather interesting to see how commercials are made elsewhere. Plus there's always the "fast forward" option. 😁 It was worth it to see this movie. Thank you!
Chana Cox Interestingly, I too am from the US and found the commercials intriguing in the way that Kellogg’s specifically cast and spoke British so as not to be offended by us Americans! Eventually I realized I could fast forward as well.
Interesting in the United States we have Oil of Olay skin products ~ in Britain it's Oil of Ulay ~ amusing.
@@sheristewart3940 : Not now. They changed the name some years ago and it's Olay here too.
@@chazdesimone7306 What a blast from the past to see IBM's OS/2 Warp operating system .... and that stairway elevator chair that goes around corners, I may have to watch this again as I know someone who'll be in need of one soon.
You can easily download any film from RUclips with 'Free RUclips Downloader' in 7 - 8 minutes, then watch it without any commercial breaks.
High quality sustains interest throughout with plenty amusing ironies; story by H. G. Wells. Very enjoyable, thankyou.
The Redgraves Gawd bless 'em!!
The Muddle Class Snorbs - ROT 'em!!
Phyllis Calvert is a fave and Michael Redgrave too.
A *big* Thank you for this wonderful upload eh44returns.
The movie is great and I even enjoyed the British commercials - what a hoot! 😂
Thank you for sharing this beautiful movie👍❗
I was amazed and delighted by the excellent sound quality.
That graffiti at 1:15:18 (on their way up) looks like it says "Dec 30, 1955". Guess they figured if they blew past it we wouldn't notice. Didn't count on future technology allowing us to stop and examine every frame. Then all the graffiti is different on their way down.
Bravo! a story as old as time and beautifully directed by David Lean. For those of us Post War babies this is the stuff of our parents generation and the actors/actresses like Michael Redgrave & Phyllis Calvert who starred in this early WW2 1941 classic
REED
Carol Reed directed.
I was born in January, 1941! Every morning is a surprise.
That beastly little kid at the end has got to be the happiest baby who ever burbled on a screen. I can't believe how much I love wonderful, textured, beautifully staged, acted, directed movies like this, a real gem - as opposed to the tawdry glossy crapshoot on Netflix. One's champagne. The other's gingerale.
With a swizzle stick.
Much thanks.
Terrence Peter Ritchie That baby was so happy he even put me in a good mood!
Netflix really has bad films? Am sorry to know that.
Excellent film, can it be equaled today, no, it seems societies loss of sincerity has taken such things away.
Enjoyed this. Does anyone else think Michael Redgrave and Danny Kaye look alike?
I noticed that right off☺
That’s who I thought it was at first glance
My best friend and I watched wonderful delightful and excellent movie for the first time in the huge Silver screen at the Fox Theatre in Ventura California when we were little guys sitting in the very front roll where every scene was larger than life.
Dave on the Oregon coast
{...Watched this...}
@David La Lone - Interesting. I never saw this movie, or even knew of it. The first time I went to a movie theater without parents was about 1962 or 63. This would have been a wonderful movie for a boy to watch, so well made and acted. By the way, my name is also David. I have visited the Oregon coast many times when I lived in Oregon.
Thanks for posting this really wonderful film.
I’m enjoying this movie but I also like the commercials. I haven’t seen British commercials in such a large quantity.
I really liked this 🍿 movie I was a little Sandy hair little girl tom-boy I was I had the bat and the ball if you wanted to play soft ball.i day dream slot. I was one of the children from the show kid's say the darness thing from the 50's well I could talk a lot too as you can see🌼anyway good movie 🎥
15:55...that just Reminded me. I used to Work as a Window Dresser and Display Designer at a Depatment Store. That was a Really Fun Job...til it Wasnt! But really l Quit because my Middle Son got really Sick with Strept Throat...my Motherly Duties came First...before Fluffing a Store. But oh l loved it!
Hello Bonnie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
9:00 - "I don't see the sense in having a girl if you can't kiss her!" Quite right Kipps! Quite right!
Great line.... hahahahaha
Thank you again, eh, for the GOLD ! Hope you are doing well. You are the survivor, wonderful !
Very well done. I applauded at the lovely ending of a chapter in the life of a normal, though lucky, man. Too many modern movies are unnecessarily dystopian. This is the first time I've seen Michael Redgrave as a young actor, he was talented.
I couldn't wait to watch this movie. Great acting!! and thank you for posting.
Great film!
This is story vera good we are reading in past
Hello Ashly, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?

Wonderful movie! - THE ADS SUCKED
Hello Jann, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
What a beautiful world before cars.
When motor cars arrived they were hailed as freeing cities from the horse muck and flies that made them filthy and unhealthy places to live. In the 1880s New York City had to shift 15,000 dead and rotting horse carcasses from the streets every year. Beautiful?
We got a position to keep up😂 baby at the end, cute. I am in love with black and white movies.
Great absolutely. The stars, cast, story line, the works all very great. So sorry that we are losing this film and other greats from not having your channel "Pizzafilx" anylonger. So sad. Peace.
they don't make movies like that anymore. Everything is so frivolous, so fake and artificial.
And full of violence
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful Michael Redgrave film.
Hilarious when he asked Kipp's what goes with fish...chips was his reply 😂😂
And at the 1:42.50 mark old venerable actor Felix Alymer, who played the Archbishop of Canterbury in Olivier's Henry V.
And he was also Polonius in Olivier's Hamlet.
Thank you so very, very much for this most excellent upload.!!!!
The painting behind the speaker in the hall is a pre Raphaelite master. Something to do with light and Jesus
Hello Wendy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Of course Hermione Baddeley is in this.
This movie is like Titanic made backwards!
Thank you for this upload, marvelous production.
This wonderful movie reminded me a lot of "Great Expectations" (but without the 'criminal' element). Chitterlow was so wonderful, what a hoot! I wish I had someone in my life like him...more's the pity ;-) Thanks so much for putting this up 😁
So if dickens great expectations moved hg Wells to write a bit of pip v kipp fan fiction (coming into money in midsts of a class struggle) it blows my mind because the genius of Wells, in my imagination, fed off of the genius of dickens, adding wonderful human elements that made the story fresh and utterly entertaining.
The quality of the British films during the 40ies is much higher than the UFA -Nazi-products. KIPPS is wonderful, THIEF OF BAGDAD, GASLIGHT , LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP are great. I LOVE THE BRITISH CINEMA AND THE SCREENPLAYS ARE SPECIAL WITH KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, BLACK NARCISSUS, THE THIRD MAN. Here the spezial humour in Kipps, the so fascinating characters.
Young Michael Redgraves looks somewhat like our own actor Danny Kaye, don't you think?
Hugh Lusignan I thought so too! By the way, you have the same name as an ancestor of mine.
The old commercials are great! No sexual overtones, disclaimers or lying! How refreshing! 📺 So funny Kipps had to wear aviator goggles over his eyes when he went in a car so as to keep the bugs and dirt out of them! 👀👓👓
You think there's no lying in old commercials?
I remember Daz and Omo always competing in claims of washing whiter. Turns out same product, same company, only one had added colour. Cigarette ads constantly lied as did breakfast cereals about health benefits.
@@gaminawulfsdottir3253 Not like the outright lying today!
@@davidcopperfield-notthemag397 Those old cigarette commercials told some blatantly tall tales.
Spotted the wonderful Kathleen Harrison as the Shop customer with the little boy. Interestingly, this film is listed as "The Remarkable Mr. Kipps" in her list of credits on IMDb.
The commercials are a hoot. I suppose if I were British I would skip over them but they are a novelty and a step back in time.
The movie is great. But so many ad's is not fair
If more movies like that ? I sould not bothered in waching...
Oh that was just lovely ❤ thank you
This IS a wonderful wonderful film!!!! Redgrave is outstanding and the rest of the cast is terrific!!!! I cannot recommend it enough!!! Thanks for posting this classic gem.
Sorry to say Redgrave was a good actor but completely miscast in this. Read the book.
It's a great movie. Thank you. I enjoy it very much.
Yup... a great film.
Michael Redgrave was a master. Such a lovely film. Thanks so much eh44returns.
Someone is caught in a space/time continuum... that 48 hours thing...it’s mid February 2019!!
I liked the last part, it ended well.
(And what a cute baby !!!)
Thank-You for uploading!
Throughout the whole movie I kept thinking about how Kipps reminded me of the actor Danny Kaye. I really enjoyed this movie..!!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE FULL VERSION🙏🏻 IV NEVER SEEN THIS FULL FANTASTIC VERSION EVER BEFORE, I'M FROM THE UK 🇬🇧 DID MICHEAL REDGRAVE BECOME A SIR???? ⚔️🎖
If Baldrick can get a knighthood (never mind about Lenny Henry of Tiswas fame) then Michael Redgrave should be a Lord at least.
Just wondering what your page name means, is it eh44returns? Curious is all...
Nice.
I would like to watch old musical movies
Please

A good story which I studied it iin 4th secondarry school A nice movie

Bravo, when movies taught a lesson. Thanks for another gem to watch!
Not all great films teach a lesson. And many that supposedly do are mediocre.
Wonderful film thanks for sharing.
Bless me heart and liver.
Hello Eunice, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
What a wonderful film, but I just loved the adverts in between, Ian Mcshane doing a voiceover for Walls ice cream , Lovejoy Antiques.
Lovely dose of old Britishness! The adverts were great too, Anchor tell lies....their 'pure butter ' which spreads straight from the fridge is actually 50% dairy, the rest is rapeseed oil....not quite so pure is it?
Absolutely can't be pure if it's spreadable. Has to have some sort of oil. As long as they're honest it doesn't matter. I like dairy blends.
Cosy brilliant movie
Charming!!! Just perfect to watch if you are off sick!
What I Like about these Old Movies is the Attempt to Portray man as Honest with Himself and Therefore Others!Today People have NO Idea WHO they Are and Like IT that WAY!No wonder they're,"Les Miserable"!
Les Misérables.
Thanks for sharing this delightful movie!
Carol Reed also directed 'the third man' awesome director.
Great movie. Thank you for the upload.
Happy days 😀
