I love this movie classic, still prefer it in b&w for its most armospheric sequences but wonder why no company has yet bothered to give it the HD treatment, it really deserves it.
Larry Fleetwood: that is the course of the world, trash gets elevated, and good quality gets trampled on. We need to return to our loving God, then all this will change
The copyright expired so the film is in public domain, meaning that copies are in poor quality. If a company were to restore it, they would first have to track down the original film print.
@@victorkong82 I'm surprised that hasn't happened yet or maybe it has who knows, but it's an important and good enough film to justify it happening. Eventually.
Oh my goodness I've just about run out of tears. I'm in the middle of reading Tom Lake and decided to see if I could find the film. If I didn't know what 'heartwarming' meant, I'd know now.
Anyone ever wonder why this film pales in quality in comparison with other films made around the same time? Both Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz were made just the year before and yet they look they were made yesterday. I don’t understand why there isn’t a decent, preserved print of this very important film- a Best Picture nominee in fact. I hope the motion picture Academy will do everything they can to enhance and keep this film for posterity.
I saw a few reviews about this not being worthy. But I watched it on Tubi in B&W because I've been enjoying Bill Holden's films. This was a real eye-opener. It's from a time before a lot of social liberation (based from 1901 - and made in 1940) yet there are a lot of liberal sentiments. Mostly, I love the narration - the Dickensian float from past to present. Bill Hoilden is good, although noone is great in this one - it's not an actor's film, more a writers film. And that's fine.
A couple of particularly poignant moments in this one. The first being the horse Bessie holding steady outside a house that used to get milk, but no longer does. Take what you will, but I feel we lost something with animals and they lost something with us. Secondly, and more obviously, is the night with the bright moon. How the light of the moon could be discussed like the weather. I guess it's something that's just submerged now.
I cant get enough of this movie . i have the book and i have read it a couple of times.

This movie ain’t profitable or interesting enough for today’s audience for a company to do all of that
