I have never forgotten this fantastic old movie! Everyone during this time period was so formal , and well read! It's a treasure!
This is actually not an "old movie," but an old TV show, the 20th Century-Fox Hour. Back in the mid-1950s, three Hollywood studios (Fox,MGM and Warner Bros.) decided to dip their toes in TV production. This Fox anthology took old Fox movies and condensed rhem to hour shows.
Everyone so prim and proper. It was very refreshing to see such charm and dignity.
People took pride in their appearance. We were poor, and my mother had very little in the way of clothes. But her blouses and skirts were always pressed crisp. She was always a lady, and despite her many challenges, she always had class. Thank you mom. Miss you 🌹
I enjoy it very much.
It's funny seeing that you equate prim & proper with charm & dignity
@@poorthing Yes I saw you at Wal-Mart last week in your pajamas and dirty shoes spending your food stamps.
Joanne Woodward had such a distinctive speaking voice!!!😊😊😊😊
I had never seen this little gem of a picture before. Thank you very much
It was a TV presentation.
The source material is a play but it was a popular film in 1947 with Ronald Colman & a huge cast of wonderful British actors,
I liked this TV version.
I had never seen the great Anne Harding more mature. I always remember her much younger. Thanks for the upload😊
I had Never seen Joanne Woodward this young !! She is Such a Wonderful Actress !! ❤
Oh I have.
Never been quite 'sure' about her.
Dunno why.
Feeling it again watching this one.
Can't put my finger on why.
🤷♀️
Joanne is now 94, I read she's entered hospice care in her home.
She had been dx with Alzheimers a few years ago.
She has had a long well-lived life.
❤
Joanne had some interesting roles! I'm delighted to find one her films that I've never seen. Thank you 🌹
Me, too!
The Academy Award winning actress Joanne Woodward celebrated her 91st birthday earlier this year.
She lives up near my mom. Hadn’t seen her lately but she’s gotten to be a bent over old lady ❤
She 94 now😊
Great movie, Don't miss it !
I always like a good and reasonable ending. This movie full of the angst between the beliefs between different generations did not fail me and did not disappoint. I really like it. Joanne Woodward so lovely and Raymond Massey a superb actor always.
Joanne, Ray, Ann, and a great supporting cast! Thank you, very much 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The film, 1955. Old Boston, 1912. I'm still here, 2023.
How about 2024 hey ?
We're antiques 😊
A brillant film! Thank you.
This is an example of what is referred to as the Golden Age of TV - the 50s.. Prominent actors in plays written by famous or soon to be famous playwrights. programs may be in B&W, but the drama or comedy was first rate. Weekly hour or hour and a half long presentations were a staple for several years.
If it weren't for TCM and RUclips, I might never have known about wonderful actors like Ann Harding. She was so classy and talented.
I hope you've been able to watch her earlier films.
Animal Kingdom, 1932 is my favorite with a v young Myrna Loy.
...there are some portraits of Ann Harding available online when she has her hair down- it's very long & looks silvery white blonde.
Very unusual photos for what may have been late 1920s- early 30s. She could have easily been here in 2024 & folks would just think she was a lovely young woman...timeless.
just Google images :
Ann Harding Hair!!!❤
Enjoyable, interesting play. It's always nice to see Ann Harding, pity she had such a small role. Thank you for the upload.
Her films of the 30s are intriguing. Maybe it was the lighting used on her, but her blond hair looked like it was aglow.
Wow!! Growing up an Adams in Connecticut in the 1980's was frighteningly no different than being an Apley back then... Stuffed shirts co-opting former radical's hard work.
Mr Apley is a sweet, kind, malleable, thoughtful man compared to my father!!! Or maybe I'm just no Ellie Apley!
What a great movie! Thanks for posting.
Great movie!
So many wonderful actors.
Ann Harding- wonderful to see her
Wonderful movie.....
Wonderful screen play, I'm amazed it was for TV in 1955, such a good copy. Thank you for posting this.
I agree, except I'm not amazed it was for TV in 1955, especially after watching many past programmes on RUclips and featuring such excellent actors. :)
Tv back then had some quality dramas. It got worse after Mcarthyism.
@@johngore7744Politics influenced Washington, not in a good way. And Washington would influence Hollywood. A dysfunctional relationship...
What a little gem of a production! I only wish it had gone on longer. I could only recall Massey in “Arsenic and Old Lace”. Now I see what a fine actor he was. And ANYTHING with Ann Harding, what a treat! And Joanne Woodward was such a versatile actress as well as a good looking lass. Thanks so much for this offering!
I always think of Massey as that stern father in East of Eden, he was so intimidating & unyielding.
James Dean was heartbreaking 💔
Raymond Massey often played this type of character. But I'd wager he was a really nice man.
He was he was also Canadian ( Massey/ Ferguson Farming equipment ) cheers from Montreal
There was a dynasty of " Massey"s I never forget Anna Massey, the first wife of Jeremy Brett the irreplaceable Sherlock Holmes and a great British actress.
According to his daughter, Raymond was the most selfish man she'd ever met.
That was an excellent movie. Thank you
Great old movie, and you couldn't find better actors than Raymond Massey and Ann Harding. For some reason I have never been a great fan of Joanne Woodward, even though she was a very talented actress.
The Academy Award winning actress Joanne Woodward just celebrated her 93 birthday on February 27, 2023(which is the day of this comment)
great. Thanks for posting.
I have to set the record straight. This is a shortened form of the original Kaufman play. It is a remake to a certain degree the original movie made
in 1947. The original starred Ronald Colman in the George Apley part. In
my opinion, this shortened form is an improvement on the movie. The
stoginess and slowness of the movie was improved by shortening the
long dialog of Kaufman. And Massey was very convincing and Woodward was wonderful.
Agreed!
Cant stop thinking of Anna Massey in 'The Importance of Being Earnest', now.
She was absolutely delightfully well cast in that!
Love it Thank you.🇮🇪🙏❤️☘️✝️
This reminded me of the sitcoms from the '60's and early '70's when the phrase "generation gap" became popular and the same stale script was passed around the studio's where clean cut kids show the older folks that they pulled the same unruly antics in their day. Boy, did they show them and they all lived happily ever after......until next weeks episode.
😮hmm lonely children in a lonely parental home😢Not my case but I try to resonate
Anyway great actors great movie😊
Lovely
Delightful❣
Unfotunately,Unfortunately, think she has Alzheimer's and does not always recognized her daughters,and other people she socialized with in her past.I read where Ms.Woodward,was already experiencing some signs of this disease,shortly after her husband,Paul Newman died.She was such a very good actress and she had a certain quality to her acting,also.I wish her well,and I hope her family is " holding up" taking care of her,during this difficult,trying time in their mother's and their lives.
Sad to hear, but lucky Ms Woodward is surrounded by a caring family.
So sad
Wow…she is beautiful
It was doubly nice to revisit this excellent movie.
Ann Harding ❤
My farther was not of Apley's class but had similar ideas. One year after coming back from college, he told me that as long as I lived in his house, I would obey his rules. I replied, should I leave now or tomorrow morning? Well, I left. Some years later my younger sister told me how glad she had been that I had shown her it was possible and that she had left a year later.
You were old enough to leave and make it on your own by then!
Why would you think you could live in your father's house and ask him to bend to YOUR rules? Best you move out and move on.
Judge Judy says children of all ages that live under the parents roof have to obey house rules.
I'm in the same boat and I suspect that I've been disinherited. They tried to stop me from marrying my husband because he didn't fit the mold.
Joanne is very believable as Ann Hardings' daughter, particularly in voice.
Anne Harding still as beautiful as her first picture! I wonder how long she worked for ? Also how long she lived ? If anyone knows 😊❤thank you for sharing this great oldie
When people married for love.❤️
My lord! People like Apley actually exist! Frightening! Very interesting how he recalled that both he and his wife would have preferred different partners but were denied that choice. Glad Apley came to his senses!
My father is like this. He is 99.
I thoroughly enjoyed this short segment if a great 👍🏽☕ movie Mr. Raymond. Massey l love his work in. Possessed Mr.. Graham with. John. Crawford! Rhonda 🥧☕❤️💕💕💜💚🤗🙃👩🏾🦱 Prater bug Turner. Classics. Movies!!!!
Fine film. I wonder what the students of Harvard depicted in this film's era would think of Harvard students of 2024.
Nowadays all universities are radicalized, unfortunately
I wonder if this movie was made before the movie The Absent Minded Professor starring Fred McMurry was made? 😊😊😊😊
What does that have to do with this.which was 1961
Oh, dear, the cousin fell in love and had to move to California! To a town with a Spanish name! How horribly awful, lol.
Housed on your own petard, aren’t you George???!!! You asked for it and you got it so you aren’t entitled to complain or to be pitied. 😊😊😊Harsh judgement from me and just a comment. Actually, it is sad 😢 and I do feel sorry for him. I’ve probably been guilty of making more mistakes in my lifetime than he had.
So began the seemingly innocent downfall of our culture. “It’s all about sex.” So taught Freud, who was found to suffer from severe mental illness; after he did his damage.
If Freud had never been born, someone else would have done pretty much the same. But you're right, he wasn't wrapped too tight.
Kinsey was also a raging PERVERT.
I do wish persons would discover what "etiquette" means.
Does anyone know what network this series aired?
Self reliance!
U guy's obviously don't know Ann Harding & Robert Massey.
Raymond
Boris
Freud was unrighteous n vulgar. He knows now how wrong he was.
Why push ideas that people don't want to and change their culture and customs?
A bra bygone era. This movie portrays the beginning of the downfall of America.
😄 Quite the opposite I'm sure!
"Our values are disintegrating before our eyes"; sounds like conservatives. Colleges are "protecting students from differing points of view"; sounds like the woke attitude of the Left today. "No amount of persecution will have the slightest effect on me." Sounds like Pres.Trump. "John had to be drowned, like a stray kitten." What a ghoulish thought!
Yawn 🥱
Blech. Early Hollywood propaganda.
Joanne woodward plays too "feminist" it is ridiculous
"Sufferatte".
It's 1955.
🙄 You mean too "radical" and "out spoken" for a "woman"? Not once did she advocate for anything except *human* rights; both male and female.
@@kathyflorcruz552 Suffragette?
Propaganda lies: to humanize the upper crust
NEVER HAPPENED DISLIKE
I always regarded Miss Woodward to be overrated as an actress and never thought she was a particular handsome woman. Ann Harding being the older woman she was at the time, looks lovelier and delivers her lines with a wonderful voice.
