![What's My Line? - Greer Garson; Orson Welles [panel] (Apr 6, 1958) [UPGRADE!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bZL2cNR9ovM/mqdefault.jpg)
Steve, you are a joy to listen to!!❤❤❤❤❤💋💋
Thanks a million!
I attended a tribute to Greer Garson at the SMU film school, and was fortunate to sit next to Sidney Guilaroff at dinner. Greer was there, as well as some of her co-stars, like Cesar Romero and Fred MacMurray, who brought his wife, June Haver. A few years after that, I dated Gayle Fogelson, Greer's stepson. He didn't have a very high opinion of her as a stepmother. Apparently, the Fogelson kids called her "Dear Greer" (as in Mommie Dearest). Loved her movies - thanks, Steve, and Merry Christmas.
Well, long ago I gave up the notion that the stars were anything like their screen images. I love the movies though! Happy Holiday! Steve
I'll have to add this to my list. Agnes Moorehead looks so strikingly gorgeous!
She is and that accent you won';t believe. Aamazing performance! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQMy stars and sattellites, as Endora would say, that sexy French Accent she used.. WOW!! she sounded like another famous Redhead, Isabelle Huppert, who was born and raised in Paris. So to Ms. Moorehead, that's a compliment on the accent.💜⚘️
Greer Garson and Buddy Fogelson had a ranch in New Mexico which included land that was the site of the westernmost battle of the Civil War, the Glorieta Pass. Greer Garson left the ranch and house to be included in Pecos National Historical Park.
When I visited some years back at the Visitors’ Center there was an introductory film narrated by Greer Garson.
Greer Garson did host at least once Saturday Night Live.
Well, then good for Greer. Se left alot of money to the acting department at the state university too.
AGNES MOREHEAD AS THE FRENCH FORMER MISTRESS! ...oh man, you know, sight unseen, that that's gonna be fantastic....
And Charles Laughton as a charming Prince of Wales? Man, I need to stream this tonight!
Merry Christmas, Steve. Thanks for the gift🎄
Well, you're right about the first part. It's not Charles Laughton, though I ,love him, it's Cecil Kellaway, who is pixish and charming! Have a ball this holiday! Steve
❄🌹❄Agnes Moorehead was such a classy and powerful woman, I think I'll check this movie out just to see her performance.
❄ I love your cardinal display...have a HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE STEVE !!!
You too! I think you'll be wild about Aggie in this one! Steve
Have to finally check this one out due to your great overview. Totally agree Agnes Moorehead should have had an Oscar for "Magnificent Ambersons," but it was Teresa Wright who beat her in the Supporting category (Moorehead's work was so great the NYFC gave her Best Actress, as they didn't have the Supporting category in play back then).
I know. She should have been up for Best Actress. They seldome did that in those days. She wasn't known enough, and was typecast as a character actress.so they slid her into the Supporting catagory. End of story. Happy Holidays and thanks for watching! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Never thought about her as lead in "Ambersons" (I guess because of the ensemble nature of the film) but she was amazing, and I would've loved to have seen a double nomination for her in both categories, ala Barry Fitzgerald in "Going My Way." Happy Holidays!
@@slc2466 That double nomination for Fitzgerald was a travesty! I've never been a fan of that film or that performance and think Cliftoin Webb should have won hands down for "Laura". As for Aggie in "Ambersons", she couldn't have competed with the steam roller that was "Mrs. Miniver" and Hollywood didn't like Orson Welles, so she had to carry that along with her. The fact she was nominated would have to do. Thank heavens the NY Film Critics got it right. Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I think the NYFC win helped her at least get a nomination, as "Ambersons" wasn't much of a success, even with a Best Picture nom as well, and back then of course there weren't as many pre-Oscar awards to consider before the nominations. Would've loved to have seen Webb win for either "Laura," (way up there on my list of favorite movies) or "The Razor's Edge," wherein I think he was (at least) equally terrific.
@@slc2466 I totally agree.
Wonderful movie...flawless cast and Agnes Moorehead as a glamorous temptress was a fantastic surprise.
I know! She could really do anything! Enjoy! Steve
This movie is a gem and big classic...... I love always the team Walter Greer...... No movies like this one today unfortunately...... Star and studio system was unique and unforgettable, magical
It's very magical indeed and just right for the time of year. Disfunctional families at Christmas and a great love story besides! Happy Holidays! Steve
You've sold me on this movie, I loved the Mrs Miniver films and of course Agnes Moorehead who was a great actress. Thank you Steve
I read her stiff upper lip, noble and strong woman roles in the early 40s were needed and much beloved during the war years. We needed this kind of woman to keep everyone focused on the war efforts. Then starting in 1945, when the war was over a dark and cynical mood was pervasive in the US and then film noir took over. Greer just did not fit into that type of movie genre. There were just some leading ladies whose star status rose but was defined by a certain era and their time was over. Plus, she was beautiful in real life with her striking red hair and that beautiful and perfect diction. Thanks again for another awesome video and you are indeed a gift that keeps on giving, cheers!
I agree with you, I also think it had to do with the changing tatste in the audiences once the boys came home. When Greer was in her heyday, the main audiences were the women on the homefront and she represented all the strength and faith they had to muster. to keep the country and homefires burning. Then, the men came home, began making the choices of what to see and her audience gradually declined. appy Holidays and thanks for watching! best Wishes; Steve
She should have made some Film Noirs. (Can you imagine?)
We really are tuned to the same wave length, definitely one of my favorites! Major drama and you can never go wrong with Agnes Moorehead. Merry Christmas guys!
I love this one too and agree, Aggie is the best! Happy Holidays! Steve
Never heard of this one. Thanks Steve. Always loved Aggie. She breaks your heart in "Ambersons". She looks amazing in this. Can't wait to see it. Merry Christmas to you and Johnny.
She will knock you out in this! Enjoy! Steve
Happy Holidays, Steve and Johnny!!🎄
You too!
Fantastic! Loved this review. I really enjoy the background and side information you give, along with the movie review. I never get tired of you Steve! Happy Holidays!
TRhank you for the lovely compliment! SO appreciated! Have a wonderful holiday season! Thanks for watching! Steve
This looks like a great movie to nibble popcorn through, in snug winter jammies. Agnes Moorehead had a career BEFORE Endora! Thank you for highlighting her endearing performance, even the wild chick in *Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte* . Merry Christmas, all!
She was incredibly versatile. Nominated for four Oscars.
Thank-you, Steve. Over the years you introduced me to movies I might have missed, even though I'm a huge classic movie fan. I'll definitely be on the look out for "Mrs. Parkington"; Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon were always one of my favorite duos. The happiest of holidays to you, and by the way, you are as handsome as ever!
OMG!Thank you for the compliments! I'll give you an hour to cut that out . I hope you have lovely holidays and many thanks for having watching TOQ! My Very Best Wishes Always: Steve
Oh thank you so much for this Christmas present! This is one of my favourite movies ever and you certainly did it proud! This time of year, I always love hearing Greer Garson's beautiful voice narrating The Little Drummer Boy. Merry Christmas to Steve, Johnny, and the whole Team TOQ and thank you for another year of fabulous videos!!
Our pleasure and have a wonderful holiday season! Steve & The TOQ Gang
Love you Steve! Your passion for film and storytelling goes deep, far and wide. Yuletide Felicitations to You & Johnny!
And to you and many thanks for watching and for the lovely comments! Steve
You did it again -- another movie I'd never heard of! Thanks, Steve and Merry Christmas from Hawaii.
Ha! Mission accomplished! Happy Holidays in Hawaii! Best; Steve
I Love this film! Agnes Moorehead's Oscar Nominated Performance is Brilliant, on top of Greer Garson's Oscar Nominated Gift of a Performance. Without a doubt, Gladys Cooper is unbelievably underrated!
I agree. It's loaded with the very best of the MGM stock company in a lavish production! What could be better? Steve
A PERFECT movie for staying in and bundling up during this freeze! You did it again, Steve - thank you! And all the best of this holiday season to you and yours.
You too! It os the perfect winter movie. Get cozy and enjoyt! Happy Holidays! Steve
I have not seen this movie.
after this story of yours now I have a great desire to see it.,... I will do everything to find it.
thank you so much Steve ❤️
You won't regret it! It's fabulous! Steve
I’m a huge fan of Edward Arnold. He was never bad in anything he did even on radio. Played great villains. Thanks for a another wonderful video & Happy Holidays!
I agree. Arnold was so versatile and when , on the rare occasion, he got a lead role, he ran with it1 Happy Holidays! Steve
So glad you squeezed in a review before Xmas. Mrs Parkington looks right up my street, love Greer G/Walter P pairing & can’t wait to see Agnes M go to town on this part. I grew up w Bewitched & Endora was a favourite, she holds your attention in every scene. Thanks as always for bringing us such a diverse collection of films, your reviews really do set the tone & add to the enjoyment. Merry Xmas to you, Johnny & the team. Xxxx
I delighted you enjioy them and thank you for watching and for the lovely compliments! Happy Holidays! Best; Steve, Johnny & TOQ Gang
Merry Christmas, Steve. You have such a talent for making these classic movies come alive. I haven't seen Mrs. Parkington yet, but I'll bet it isn't as half as entertaining as your review. You keep this up, and I have no doubt others will see what I see; Steve Hayes, you are a national treasure. And Happy New Year and hugs to everyone at Tired Old Queen at the Movies!
OMG! You made the TOQ blush a little. Thank you so much and thanks for watching! Have delicious holidays! Best Always; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ ❤
Yay! I’m so glad to have a 🎄 2022 installment from the MERRY Queen of all of our dreams. You and Johnny always bring joy to our holidays.
Wow! That's quite a complimet! I'll give you an hour to cut that out! Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Not a chance! I found a man who knows his Jane Cowl movies and I’m stickin’ with him! ❤️
@@timothysullivan6790 You do that, and you'll never complain about a" The Secret Fury" of having " No Man Of Her Own' or stuck with a "Payment On Demand" after he deserts you. You'll always be "Smilin' Through". Happy Holidays, Honey! OXOXOX TOQ
Steve and Johnny, Merry Christmas and thanks for continuing to do videos of these wonderful classic movies. Always love your presentations and enthusiastic reviews.
I'm deligted! And thank you for watching! Happy Holidays! Steve
I'm really glad you picked this one to review, i don't think anyone else here on youtube has done it and i like that movie so much. Wonderful, funny and informative review as always. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you, Johnny and everyone helping you to bring the videos to us. Hope the new year will be great for you guys, I can't wait for the new year so we can have more of your reviews, Steve.
How lovely! Always so nice to hear from you and thank you , as always, for the lovely compliments! I love this one too and think it strikes the right note. The dysfunctional family at Christmas and a terrific romance to boot! Hooray! Happy Holidays! Many Thanks; Steve
And don’t forget Peter Lawford Thank so much for this amazing review and all of the others this year Steve . I think the sign of one who makes great reviews is someone who makes me want to watch a movie I have never seen before . Greer Garson had many of the fine qualities of my favourite English actress Deborah Kerr love both and I wish you and Johnny a very merry Christmas and a Happy new year and what a year it was the best of everything Steve cheers Carl .
Thank you SO much! Happy Holidays! Steve, Johnny and the TOQ Gang!
Merry Christmas to you Santa.....your gifts are always welcome!
And you are the best!
Oh, good gracious, I adore Green Garson and Walter Pigeon and it's one of theirs I've never seen, and it's going to the top of my holiday movie list. What a wonderful gift from TOQ and company -- thank you, Steve, very much indeed, and have a very Merry Christmas, XO!
Well, I try and find the more obscure ones that for some reason have been somewhat neglected over the years. I love this one and think you will too. Have a marvelous holiday! Best; Steve
Watched it, loved it, thanks again and Happy New Year!
@@scotthayes6965 HOORAY! Misson accomplished! Happy New Year! Steve
I so enjoy your movie reviews! In this one I especially liked learning more about Greer Garson. And the “out-takes” at the end - such fun!
How nice of you to let me know Thanks so much for watching and Happy New year! Best; Steve
Thank you, thank you for this spot-on review of an epic film! Mrs. Parkington could get the miniseries treatment today it has so many intriguing stories packed into one gorgeous film. Greer Garson so commanded the screen in every one of her roles, ditto the wonderful Agnes Moorehead. The happiest of holidays to you and Johnny and your families! Looking forward to more great reviews in 2023♥️
Thank you so much I hope you have a wonderful Holiday seasion! best Wishes; Steve Johnny & the TOQ Gang!
I am addicted to your reviews dear Steve!!❤❤❤
I'm addicted to your comment and hope you never tire of TOQ! Thanks you so much! You made my day! Steve
Well, the holiday wait is over, Steve, dear. What a lovely good film for the holidays and what a lovely presentation. I do detect holiday warmth coming from you. the film does have high production values as you have high presentation values. Thank you. Happy Holidays.
Oh My Gosh! You make me blush a bit! Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you in the New Year! Happy Holidays! Steve
I think I might have seen some of Greer Garson's films on TV like on the ol Turner Classic Movie channel. She was stunningly beautiful. So will have to see if I can locate and watch this one. Absolutely love your commentary, humor and reviews Steve. You're simply the best and so entertaining! Love this, your channel! 👍🤗❤
🎄 Happy Holidays! 🎅, Travis
Thanks, Travis! I so appreciate hearing from you and hope you have lovely holidays! Best Wishes; Steve
Happy Holidays dear Steve. So good to see you again and your reviews. We love you VERY much...... I love your impression of a drunk....so funny. Hope you and yours are well.
Thanks, Buddy! Much appreciated! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Best; Steve
Steve . What a fantastic review.. one of your very best… haven’t seen this for years…. Now I just have to watch it asap… Merry Christmas Steve … hope you have a wonderfull Christmas… 🎄❤
I hope you do too and thanks, as always, for watching! Best Wishes; Steve
Wow, what a storyline! Btw, the production values just hits the roof.
Right?!? MGM at it's best!
Good actress, but sheesh, she was always so haughty! And I can’t look at Pidgeon now w/o thinking of what he was doing to Scotty Bowers (or at least what Bowers claimed he was doing) . . . 😀😀😀
Oh please, who doesn't like a- head? Happy Holidays! Steve
I wish Scotty Bowers hadn't written that book😥
@@katiewest7908 I'm delighted he did. To each his own, I guess. Thanks for watching! Steve
Thank you Steve....HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!! 🤓
Same to you! Steve
Will certainly watch this movie, the reviews are always a pleasure.
Greets, Tom.
Thanks, Tom! So appreciate it! have lovely holidays! Steve
Happy holidays steve & jonny! I'm sick with covid so this is a delight. Thank you. And happy new year as well. 💕
OMG! Whadda' tie to get it!I hope this finds you better soon, cozy in and watch great old movies and eat, drink tea and feel better ! Best; Steve
A GREAT REVIEW AS ALWAYS, STEVE!! My favorite part in MRS. PARKINGTON is when Greer Garson discovers her husband has made it his mission to destroy every rich family in NYC who snubbed him one night at a dinner he hosted. (It might be kinda cool to have that superpower sometimes, if you know what I mean...) I thought for sure you'd do another terrific picture for Christmas this year starring (one of your favorites) Miss Bette Davis, Monty Woolley and Miss Ann Sheridan (who in my opinion comes close to stealing the picture): 1942's THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER. I would love to see you review that motion picture!! Merry Holidays From One of Your Biggest Fans in Chicago!! xxx ooo
I try and find ones that aren't as familiar , but still have the setting or the holiday spirit. Tha Man Who Came To Dinner is on my list! Happy Holidays and Best Wishes to m y friends in Chicago! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ YOU'RE THE BEST, STEVE!! I just finished reading the original New York Times review by Bosley Crowther of THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER and he said that "One palm should be handed Bette Davis for accepting the secondary role of the secretary, and another palm should be handed her for playing it so moderately and well." Can't wait for your Monty Wooley and Billie Burke impersonations!! Happy and Safe Holidays, Steve!!! xxx ooo
@@wanderingtreeestate You too! have a wonderful time! Best; Steve
Another one I need to watch. ESPECIALLY because of Agnes Moorehead, one of my all-time favorites. And she’s allowed to look beautiful for once.
She's amazing in this. She was one of the most vesatile actresses of her time. Orson Welles claimed she could do anything.
Merry Christmas, Steve and Johnny! I spend a good bit of the holidays watching your videos so thank you for being part of my tradition. You bring so much joy! I have been looking for an old movie that maybe you can help me track down. It's about an actress from a small coal town in PA who dies in Hollywood and wanted to be buried back home. It's supposed to be somewhat based on a true story. Any ideas? Have a wonderful holiday!
It's called "Miracle Of The Bells", with Frank Sinatra, Fred MacMurray and Alida Valli. Hope you can locate it. Try RUclips.Happy Holday Wishes! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Thank you so much, Steve! Big hugs!
🥰
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Thank you so much, Steve! Big hugs!
A great slightly Christmas present. Thanks a lot guys.
Our pleasure!
Happy holidays, Steve and Johnny!! 🎄🎄❄️⛄⛄🎅🤶
The same to you and many thanks for watching! Steve
Just the perfect Christmas present from Steve Hayes! Thank you for bringing this film to our attention. Merry Christmas to you and to Johnny!
And Happy Holidays to you! Thanks for watching! Steve, Johnny & TOQ Gang
Vintage dysfunctional family as seen in the 1940s. Gotta see this. Thanks for all the videos y Felix Navidad Steve!
To you too! You;ll love this film! Steve
Thanks for doing this one. I'm a big fan of Greer Garson; I've even seen The Miniver Story (ugh) and Her Twelve Men (slight but sweet) but somehow missed Mrs. Parkington. Not anymore. Thanks, Steve and a Merry Christmas and great New Year to you.
Oh, if you're a Greer fan, you'll be in your glory! Enjoy ! Best; Steve
Another fascinating and interesting post! This is probably my most favorite Greer Garson film. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and Happy New Year 🎉!
It's definitely one of mine. Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays! Steve
Thanks, Steve...and Merry Christmas to you and Johnny!! Another great review of another wonderful movie. Had almost forgotten this one...need to see it again. Hope you will get to the Syracuse area again sometime soon. 😀
I'll be up in March to participate in the annual Fund Raiser for The Redhosue Arts Center. on March 9th. I'll be posting about it on facebook as the time draws near. happy Holidays and love to you and Syracuse! Steve
Oh geez I didn’t get my notification! As always, it is my great pleasure seeing a new review from you, and I haven’t seen this film either!! I really enjoyed Mrs Miniver and I see the same costars here, I LOVE Greer Garson’s face ~ haha I haven’t even watched your review yet I’m just so excited to see you! I know it’s going to be a good one though 🤗 happy holidays to you and yours ❤ ok I’m watching the review now😊 thank you
ETA: aaah Agnes Moorehead too, yes yes yes
I hope you can find this , I think you'll love it! Thanks for watching and Happy ew Year! Best Wishes; Steve
I was not familiar with this film. Thanks again for a great review! I found it online last night and watched it. Wonderful!! Ironic that Greer talks about the gaslight she'd never seen before. That year she lost the Oscar to Ingrid Bergman for "Gaslight". Greer and Pidgeon were second only to the screen team of Powell and Loy in number of pairings. Another great Christmas Eve movie is 1947's "Christmas Eve" -- lots of parallels to "Mrs. Tarkington" -- wealthy old lady with family of ne're do wells. MERRY CHRISTMAS Steve and Johnny!!
And a Merry Christmas to you as well! Best Wishes; Steve & Johnny
One of my top ten faves.. thank you!!
Hooray! So glad we did it!
Steve and Johnny what a great film ...a sidenote: Gladys Cooper at that stage of her life didn't get a chance to do many daughter roles. lol Thank you for the past year of fun, laughter and great reviews. 🎭 Merry Christmas everybody!! 🌲
Gladys was always underrated in Hollywood. I love that she took this little role and made a comicx gem out of it! Her entrance always makes me giggle. Happy Holidays! Steve
Merry Christmas! Your reviews are so interesting and you always make me smile. Thank you!
Misiion accomplished! Happy Holidays! Steve
Had forgotten this one! Very good!! Great supporting cast. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
You too and thanks so much for watching! best Wishes; Steve
Thank you, Steve. Give Jonny a kiss for me. Merry Christmas, DA

Wonderful and interesting review. Thanks. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thanks! Same yto you and many thanks for watching! Steve
I love this film. Thanks for posting it!
I love it too. It has everything the great MGM films of the period posessed, sumptuousd productions, amazing casts and the best technicians in the business. Class. Steve
Thank you so much, Steve, for talking about this movie because I'd never heard of it and it looks wonderful. I will try and see if I can find it, and by the way I hope you have a happy Christmas every year.
It's my absolute favorite time of year and this past December, I got to celebrate it, a bit early, along with my 70th birthday in my favorite city, London. The Brits really do Christmas right! I was enchanted from begining to end. I love Great Britain so much. It even snowed while I was there. For me , there is nothing quite so beautiful as being in Trafalgar Square during the holidays and after a snowstorm. Paradise.
Such a nice film, thank you. Merry Christmas to all of you.
And you as well! Steve
Merry Christmas Steve and Johnny !!!
Love from Australia
Much love to you as well! Thanks so much! Happy Holidays! Steve
Fantastic film! Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Buddy! And thansk for watching! Happy New Year! Steve

Thank u Steve. Todays my birthday so this is a great birthday gift/surprise. Hope u have a very Merry Christmas Steve and Johnny
Happy Birthday, Tracy! How nice to hear from you and many happy returns. Steve
It's so nice to see you, Steve! I had not heard of this movie but I really want to see it now. Wow! Thank you for saving all this culture, I mean, how many people alive today are aware of this movie? Would you ever do maybe a more modern movie? I think that might be very interesting! Cate Blanchett, maybe? Of course she played Hepburn (though I admit I have not seen The Aviator. I should do that. But I have seen many of her scenes and she is tremendous, as always.)
Cate is tremendous, especially in "The Aviator," but there are enough people commenting and keeping up with her career. I like to keep the memories alive of the great classic actors, who gave so much and left us such a bounty of amazing work. By the way, I have done more modern films; " Far From Heaven", " Brick", "Maurice" "My Beautiful Launderette" etc. Check with my RUclips site and you'll see the past episodes! Happy Holidays! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ you make a good point about Cate! I am so delighted you answered. I have seen some of those episodes you mentioned but will go catch up on the rest!
@@cindyd.01 Great! Have a warm & wonderful, holiday! Steve
Oh, Steve...I loved Greer. She had a combination of appealing traits mixing a comely, statuesque beauty with a light, comic touch. Not to mention being a great dtamatic actress.
I agree on all counts! She was amazing and I think somehwta underrated as time goes by. That's why I love to show her films and get people turned ionto her unique qualities. Happy Holidays! Steve
Season's greetings, Steve and Johnny! Thank you for this wonderful recommendation. It sure will go well as a Christmas-themed two-feature with Lion in Winter ! Love it. ❤ Thank you again 😊
Wow! That's be some double bill! Have a ball and a lovely holidayt! Steve

Just got back from two weeks in London! They really know how to do Christmas right over there. I had the time of my life! Happy Holidays and My Very Best; Steve
Damn! when I watch these I want to order the movie right away! You are wonderful!!!
Hooray! Mission accomplished!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I don't know why I haven't seen your responses. I'm not such a fan of the "gay" attitudes these days, and I figured you just thought I was a jerk. Oh, I am a Big MO! :)) And, I'd probably marry you if you asked. I like an older, handsome, FUN man! Thanks!
Merry Christmas Steve and to everyone there!
After Greer Garson's notorious Oscar speech for "Mrs. Miniver", which lasted ten minutes or twenty minutes or one hour (!!), depending on who's telling the story (one story says that they had to bring out a chair so the presenter could sit down) the academy wasn't going to run the risk of a second Oscar for Greer.
Even so, I just may spend my Christmas Eve with Mrs. Parkington.
I think it would be a terrific way to spend my favorite night iof the year! Best Wishes; Steve
Brilliant movie and brilliant review. You have such a love and a passion for the greats and it is so infectious. Every time you do a review I go and watch the movie as soon as I can, no matter how many times I have seen it. I adore Greer and Walter, especially together. I have seen this wonderful movie but I will be watching it again over the next few days. Merry Christmas and a happy new year and much love from Scotland.
I love that have friends in Scotland Iw was just in the UK and had a marvelous time,. One of these days, I will journey to Scotland and breathe in the magic of the Highlands! Have lovely holidays and thanks so much for watching! Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ, I seen your posts on Facebook. Looked as if you had an amazing time. You will be more than welcome in Scotland and drop in for a wee dram or a cuppa. Have a beautiful Christmas 🤶 and a wonderful New Year.

@@STEVEHAYESTOQ, you will be more than welcome my friend. All the best, Helen.
Merry Christmas Steve and Johnny!
Same to you! Steve
Thank you!
You are simp;y swell! Many thanks! Happy Holidays! Steve
Great Job!
Thanks, Orlando! Much appreciated!
Steve, I love your appreciation of these movies, and the background. I've seen most of them, but you always add something. Love your place, and the cardinals. Have you seen the TV version of The Little Foxes Greer did (on RUclips)?
No I haven't. It would be nice to see her play someone nasty. Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Same to you!
Dear Mr. Hayes: I have loved your channel for a long time and rented a lot of the films you recommend. I especially loved the VIP's, the Lion in Winter, and Sudden Fear. Would you consider reviewing "Feud" on FX? I am sure you have heard of it. It's a limited series about the feud between Bette Davis and Your Girl Joan Crawford. I would love to hear your opinion. God bless you and keep up the great work! Tell John I love him too :)
'll tell him! . However, sorry to disappoint you, but I only do classic films. I feel that If I stray off the beaten path, I'll lose some credibility. I'm glad "Feud" got made, although I had a few problems with it. However if it leads people back to the originals that's terrific. Thanks so much for watching! Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to one and all from England.
I just got back from twoo weeks in London! You really do Christmas right! Magical! Best Wishes and thanks for watching! Steve
Merry Christmas, Steve and Johnny (Johnnie?), and a happy and prosperous new year!
You too! Thanks for watching! Steve
Happy Holidays to you and all of your team!! Your warm, exuberant presence is an engaging present, always!! 💝 🎁
Health and safety,
See you in 2023! 🎉❤
Thank you from all of us at TOQ at the Movies! Happy Holidays! Steve

You should do "Valley of Decision" next. Thanks for the fun review.
I love that one. It's on my "to do" list.
Love this movie, my darling friend.
God, I miss you! I hope this finds you both well, busy and enjoying the holidays! I adore you! Happy New Year! OXOXOX Steve

I'll take it under advisement! Happy Holidays! Steve

Awww, thanks so much! ! Thanks for watching! Happy New Year!
Hey guys: have a great holiday!
You too! Steve
Where can I watch this full length movie??....I have searched everywhere. Please help someone???
If oitUbe or TCM aren't screening it, the best thing I can recommend is check out Ebay or Amazon and pick up a previously viewed DVD of it. Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I don't have a DVD player anymore and my Television doesn't have the slot on the side of one to put one in. I've checked Amazon and nothing. I live in Australia and our cable network once had the TCM channel on it until they removed it after 10 years with no explanation. I have taped it then and it stayed in my library but when I had to reboot the cable box due to a storm a couple of days ago, it simply wiped out my movie. I even tried buying it through You tube and it wouldn't accept my credit card details when I was going through the motions. I'm am livid. Any other suggestions 🤞🤞🙏🙏
@@georginaagathos8391 MOVE!...sorry. Whadda' a delimma. So sorry you're going through this.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Move??...I'd rather stay in my country where I'm safe and not have to worry about getting shot. Thanks but I'm good here. 👍
