I worked on season 3 of penny dreadful... The American actor who played Dracula used a James Mason accent. We spent two days on one of the last scenes, when he was being himself I thought he just sounded like my brother in NY. But everytime he did his speech to us in his James Mason voice.... It sent shivers down my spine.... Even though by the end I knew his lines off by heart .. I still got the chills.
Even though Gary Cooper when he was young, was easily the most handsome of them all, there is always Clark Gable and Marlon Brando. Don't take my word though, I'm a straight man, you're a woman, you may judge better. Just take a look at pictures of young Gary Cooper, you won't believe how handsome he was!
@@keithharvey7230 Pamela had her own flings, probably in revenge. I remember her clever trick of carrying a shopping bag of canned and packaged goods in the trunk of her car. When she went out to meet her lover, she'd return carrying the bag of groceries as if she had only been out shopping!
Decidedly ahead of its time. Imaginative and well paced between the discussion of the 3 film ideas and producing them. Incredible staging and excellent filming. In context, the US was involved in the Korean War so not much has changed with K. Korea still being an issue. It’s nice to get away from external nuisances and immerse oneself in these tasty dramatic and comedic shorts.
One of the most highly talented n skilled actor.Acted superbly in some classic movie like A Star Is Born(1954),North by Northwest,Passage n Mayerling(1967).
Delicious Pi,zza, Thank you for posting this movie... Intriguing,and just listening to James Mason speak is a thrill,his articulation is perfect. Loved the movie with Judy Garland. " A Star is Born "
I do like these "short stories" more please. I also love British comedies from about 1935 to about 1975, also British military films made in this same period which includes the ones set in a much earlier period, like the Hornblower movies. Thank you.
When James Mason played Rommel it was almost like Rommel was reincarnated.Over the top acting.5 star.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Orem,Utah.
Dear uneducated moron, Rommel did not speak English and Mason did not speak German. His portrayal of Rommel was all Hollywood and definitely no reincarnation. Get a life.
My husband worked in the film industry and he said he thought James Mason was the most obnoxious person he's ever worked with ------ I, on the other hand, thought he was absolutely wonderful and have loved every single movie he ever made.
A very charming story and i love the illustrative and demonstrative production of this film. unusual. I lows the last one.........Destiny is yours regardless of the many paths you take.....yours belongs to you alone. Thank you for uploading.....xx
James Mason , fine actor , great voice . Pamela Mason was his real first wife . They were married from 1941-1964 divorce . Just started watching...but these movies made, produced, directed in by real family members or spouses usually don't turn out so well . we'll see
@@Timbergal oh I made that comment 3 years ago. I take it back! No not really. Everybody looks good with a beard My mother-in-law look great with a beard. No just kidding No she was a beautiful woman inside and out. Old binyon even looks better with a beard but it's very gray And Mrs Binyon doesn't like it.
I am reading Sheridan Morley's biography of James Mason. Didn't expect to find this film. The Masons produced it themselves and persuaded friends to act in it. It was a flop evidently.
This film is a vanity piece. I suppose I should watch it first. Pamela divorced James after which she had a popular day time talk show in Los Angeles during the 60'..She was very entertaining and never missed an opportunity to call her ex-husband an incorrigible rat.
I’m not finding it at all a vanity piece...at least this first short story. Quite enjoyable and a lesson about what can be made with almost no resources. You piqued my interest with the info on Pamela Mason’s talk show. Was it a radio talk show? Do you recall the station or name of the show?
Larkinchance your comment did raise my curiosity on their relationship....doesn't seem he was any more of a rat than she was since she had a reputation for having numerous affairs, seemed a socialite type in the end. Rich father. Still took James for a record breaking divorce settlement at the time. Ah, the lives of the rich and famous. Nevertheless, James remains one of my favorites. I suppose another actor could have pulled off his role in Lolita, but I can't picture who.
As usual, he draws one in... and so does she. I kept thinking that she reminds me of someone and couldn't think of whom... then they showed her in close-up and I realized a few minutes later that it's Millie Dowler. How she'd have looked if she'd grown up. Eerie, and sad.
36:54 nasty duels, still alive and well in american culture . except for cops . They chose the weapons and conditions . opponent must be unarmed , and his back turned .
James Mason. Handsome, masculine, and that voice. I love his voice and accent.

@@kenj.8897 No, he wasn't. Where is your proof of your statement.
James Mason .. along with Gregory Peck the two most handsome men ever born 🥰
....and Cary Grant ❤️
No chance for Donald Pleasance then?
He was gay by the way
Both came across so manly.

Mason never got the recognition he deserved he was up there with the greats
He was one of the most succesful and popular actors in the world for many years.Twit.
He made loads of films
What a classic. Thumbs up, every time gang!
Mason --one of the greats. That voice!
What a delightful little movie. I so adore James Mason. How wonderful to see him with his wife.
By 1953 she must have known about his flings.
@@keithharvey7230 Pamela had her own flings, probably in revenge. I remember her clever trick of carrying a shopping bag of canned and packaged goods in the trunk of her car. When she went out to meet her lover, she'd return carrying the bag of groceries as if she had only been out shopping!
Excellent short stories with a great ability to flow from one character to another. That choke scene was intense. Tku for post.
Y'all don't know a great movie when you see one? I'm watching this for the third time. Love both Masons.
James Mason and Pamela Mason. Both very talented! I too am a cat lover.

Delightful, all three vignettes, thank you. I love the mixture of darkness and deftness.
What a clever series of playful vignettes by James Mason..... Obviously having FUN with his career!!! 👌
Beautifully done stories, dark but well-done and fascinating.
Delicious Pi,zza,
Thank you for
posting this movie...
Intriguing,and just
listening to James
Mason speak is a
thrill,his articulation
is perfect.
Loved the movie with
Judy Garland.
" A Star is Born "
I am a cat lover, like James Mason!
Thank you for the upload, anything with James Mason is great.

This isn't my favorite film by James Mason, but he was born to act and was handsome.
This film was a lot of fun; I highly recommend it.

Greetings from Vermont in 2021🌲Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you🌠
Dear uneducated moron, Rommel did not speak English and Mason did not speak German. His portrayal of Rommel was all Hollywood and definitely no reincarnation. Get a life.
This could be the pilot for a fantastic anthology series along the lines of Boris Karloff's Thriller.
Fun enjoyable film. Highly recommend. And a hirsute James Mason, what's not to like!

Oh where has this civilized elegant beautiful dignified decent world gone?
These are the "good old days". Wickedness is prehistoric and unexplainable.
I really enjoyed this movie--thank you
I enjoyed this upload! Thank you!
The director Roy Kellino was married to Pamela Mason before she married James. Kellino married Leave It To Beaver mom Barbara Billingsley.
Excellent. Well done. Thank you.

Marvelous!💫🎇‼
At 55:09 Mason says, "Get me Blodgett's of San Francisco". One year later he was in A Star is Born, with Judy Garland playing Esther Blodgett
Great film!! Thank you for posting and sharing!! :-)

@@thamnosma being Vanity piece is not an insult.. It just means that it is a public relations effort by himself or the studio.

I suppose another actor could have pulled off his role in Lolita, but I can't picture who.
@@thamnosma James Mason in Lolita? You nailed it.. I prefer the original but if it was being cast today, who would you pick for Humbert? Bill Murray?
Life familiar very strange...😮the Mason'son and daughter talk things about mother and life "familiar"...and friends too says very much"storys".😔
very good movie. should have had pizza while i watched it. thanks.

Highly underrated man. better than Burton.
Why compare the two? Both are wonderful actors. Different. I love Richard Burton.
Who underrated him?
I believe Roy Kellino was Pamela Mason's husband before she married James Mason. Is 1953 the correct year when this CHARADE was made?
Murray Aronson Roy had quite a good temperament apparently....not sure how I’d work so intimately with an ex and her new beau.
It's a shame that this film has been rendered unwatchable by the excruciating audio distortions and static.
Hmmm I didnt experience those issues on my watching, maybe its been fixed now?
You ca.. $##&&**.#. that again
thank you
Watched all his films , this wasn't one of my favourites
That feather she was writing with sure held a lot of ink. I never saw her re-dip it.
Rosenkrantz.....and Guildenstern!!
Change Mason's intonation just a bit and you have a perfect Ronald Coleman. LOL Both great!!
Spelt Colman.
grazie
Darn, but it would have been a better ending if they both had lost her!
28:10 These actors between stage scenes of Les Miserables do get a bit testy you know .
James mason the voice that suggests delicious decadence
And the beard is so sexy
Cary Grant must be mentioned here.
To my reply above, I should have mentioned for good looks, Cary G must be included -- he was devastating.
Hi Joyce - no argument here. Have you watched the video? This is not the 1963 movie Charade starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. 🍕
I saw both movies and adore Mason and Grant. Please continue showing such memorable movies thank you .
@@joyceflora7256 Cary Grant was the most beautiful man on earth (with Laurence Olivier coming in a close second).
Rate 6.4

He must have been his wife's biggest fan. I, however, am not. HE was superb, she was... not. TY anyway.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pamela Kellino was a dog, but came fr a powerful movie family.
Was Pamela Mason kin to the queen? They both have the longer septum on the nose.
I was thinking the same. They look alike & talk alike.
The 1st story was the best. The 3rd story was garbage!!!
36:54 nasty duels, still alive and well in american culture . except for cops . They chose the weapons and conditions . opponent must be unarmed , and his back turned .
We do they keep saying "lootenant"? Does he rent a lavatory to live in?
Donald MacFarlane 🤭😏
Only if they are Yanks.
Yikes!
26:20 Ted Bundy
The hips don't lie. And the acting stinks.
