Same thing happened to me, 29 years together and then he wanted someone else, I let him go. His new love lasted about 2 months, the other woman left him! True story!!
This happened to my parents and, even though I was a full adult 35 years old it was, hard to watch and live through but, it works both ways I watched my aunt leave my uncle after 30 you of marriage. Not for a specific guy but, to be able to date again. Philly VIKTOR 1965.
You know how hard it is to play an ordinary woman in an extraordinary way? Very few women can play drab, dumpy, slightly pathetic or unimpressive and keep you riveted and spellbound by the character they create. Shirley Booth has done it more than once in film, as she turns an every day woman into a tragic figure of Greek or Shakespearian proportions consistent with the best of modern drama. There are hundreds of thousands of women who endure years of suffering with heroic stoicism and Booth brings them to life better than any other actress of her era.
Brian Turner , Shirley Booth was one of the all time premier actresses of film ,theater and television. In later years she was type cast as this character, due to the fact she was brilliant playing it....even her voice has that unique, matronly tembre to it. When a film plays like a good book reads, you know its something special.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams...........
Your present is your present because of everything you have done (or not done) in your past. The older you get, the more that is true. If you get things wrong, as you go through life, the older you get the unhappier you feel, because all you have is bad memories. And if you can avoid thinking of your memories in the daytime, they still come and haunt you like daemons in your sleep. It’s horrible.
i relish this genre of jazz, there's something about the string and wind instruments, horns and such, that grabs my soul and carries it away, sultry, sinful, and sexy! So unique... it speaks.
masterpiece due to Shirley Booth’s academy award level acting. Unbelievably heart-wrenching. Have never seen better acting in any film or on any stage.
This Come Back Little Sheba and About Mrs. Leslie are fantastic Shirley both movies and I truly believe Robert Ryan from the later was at her level of brilliant acting abilities. Lancaster was great and Quinn was good.
She played the same type of character in both movies, & the same in 'Hazel'. I wonder if she was in any movies when young & slim, or if she's always been a character actress?
Her happiness was built on memories instead of making happiness her current state. It’s easy to get entangled by what has been and becoming comfortable even when we’ve outgrown a situation. Adored this movie.
I feel sorry for her. I don't know about the dates back than. I guess it was more acceptable for a man to cheat. She was committed to having a family. Sad to see that she didn't accept the truth. The kids already knew. It sucks we cannot go back and get our looks back. Whatever happened to for better or for worse. The husband selfish.
Foolish woman. What kind of desperate woman would want a man who did not want her? I'll tell you, a desperate woman! If she had more self-confidence, he might have stayed.
Shirley Booth embodies her characters. Could have me in tears as a child with the emotion of her performances. I'm 64 now, and I'm so glad to see this. Thanks!
I still love her in Hazel. Shirley took top billing over Shirley McClan. Anthony Quinn‘s performance was so natural he made his part look so easy to play. These actors were in top rated movies for years. I have to admit it You don’t see acting like this anymore. Love the show.
That's Hazel yes wow I never seen her; acting any other films love her..recognize her distinctive voice..thanks.yes 45 is not old. Iam 67...ancient. fossil. Hahaha.
Among other things, this story is a testament to how much a mother can endure on the slimmest hope of keeping her family together. I have known such women.
@@janaprocella8268 me too, I’ll never go back to being so desperate again, I’ve changed my perspective but it took me years to do that. I’m finally happy, I hope you are at peace, as well. We deserve it. ❤️
She's better off without the husband tho. Women can adapt but still sad she didn't want to see the signs of their marriage. But some men are like go after the floozies when they really left the good woman behind.
I loved this movie so much, I admire people who haven’t become hard and bitter when they have been hurt. There is a purity of spirit about them. I try to be more like these type of people because it is a strength of character that I don’t have. When I am hurt, my first instinct is to lash out, which hasn’t served me well at all. I take that hurt and pull it deep down leaving me bitter and cynical, and believe me, it does not work. Yes I really admire people like this. And before you say it, I know it’s a movie, but the story line was phenomenal. 💕💕💕
Don't be hard on yourself. Not everyone has the same temperament. For most people it takes years to adjust to the pain of adultery, or other forms of abuse.
I watched this with my mother as a junior high school student, I felt this lady's pain and longing... I have never forgotten the place "New Paris" In my imagination it was perfect as it must have been to her until I saw it. I wonder how many of us have a "New Paris" or a prison of exaggerated memories. Great Film.
@@englishcountrylife3805 And in 2031, 2041, 2051.........it will continue to be the same. When you look back on the decades, nothing really has changed. The break down of family always has been and will continue, sadly.
I grew up in my Grandparents house , am 71yrs. and still there. Went to London in 60s to college , got married and 3 lovely kids to boot. Early 90s separated and eventually divorced . My Grandparents were together for 65yrs. As a kid I never saw them hug or touch one another . I have been through all the emotions this film portrays !. Marvelous acting , heart-rending!!. Thanks all. Dave
Thanks! Reminded me of the Tennessee Williams plays, I love these classic tales of the everyday folks who lived and died in the usual mundane ways of the working class. Always chasing a better life despite the odds, they are heroes, durable, full of life, and love.
It's amazing the impact Elvis had in the fifties to where they would write about Elvis Presley in the dialogues in the movie they did it when I Love Lucy they didn't Carol Burnett this movie and several others
One of the best movies I've ever seen. Shirley Booth's character looks back with happy memories of New Paris and raising her children who are now all branching out her husband has reached middle age and want something different and finds a young girl to run away with to the land of Eternal youth Florida She finally is able to go back to New Paris to her husband's funeral after the shock of him leaving and the terrible accident where everything has changed and she was clinging onto the memories of the past that no longer exist the realities of life touch her grown children. When she finally realizes how everything is changed she says that she never grew up but that she was going to try. such a a good ending what a story! This one will break your heart
Mr. Chris: thank you for bringing us One of the Best Films, ever made, with the best actors ever made the theater or the big screen. These actors are my absolute favorites. What a story line, even though this was made some 65 years ago, now that was a long time ago, but still holds true. Cheating spouse, (a man) wife sweet as pie or cake, doesn't want to admit his older age? Dating a 19 yr. old going on 15. Taking it out on everyone, and not blaming on himself, or herself. this is 2023, nothing has changed, has it? Love the film, thks ❤😘😘
Bravo! A very compelling film that resonates too well in today's world. Also, no CGIs, no special sound/visual effects, just pure and brilliant DIALOGUES! Thank you for the upload😊
Jane Deadlock It's pretty much the same thing. 1 husband, an alcoholic the other one, a cheater, but, she plays the same needy, time traveling, 🏡 wife.
Oh, that scene with Eileen Heckart and Shirley Booth--learning how to drink and smoke is priceless. You can tell their laughter was genuine. It would be hard to get through a scene like that without laughing. I bet they loved doing that scene.
That is a great scene, between two actresses who were outstanding in William Inge plays in the 1950s. Shirley Booth had played Lola Delaney in COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA (also directed by Daniel Mann) on the Broadway stage and in the movie, and Eileen Heckart had played Rosemary Sidney in PICNIC and Lottie Lacey in THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS on Broadway. Imagine her and Teresa Wright (as Cora Flood) in their great scene late in Act II of that last play!
Boy, what an emotional roller coaster! Great movie! Never saw Anthony Quinn that young play such a part. Shirley Booth is fabulous!! A real tear jerker.
Reading through the comments, I am tickled to see so much admiration for the great Shirley Booth. Anthony Quinn, Eileen Heckart, Shirley McClain, Earl Holliman. This cast turned a human drama into an utterly memorable experience. 💙👏
Did anyone hear what he screamed, just before he crashed, Hey Momma, and right before he left his wife, he told her, that he wasnt a child!! How fitting, just priceless! Good writing, and Direction.
he yelled MA MA, his last thoughts were of his wife whom he called mama. he was never going to be happy anyway in that situation, 10 years down the road that young woman would have been out the door, while putting him in a nursing home someplace, especially if he didn't have any money....
I've seen women very desperate like that and I wanted to kick them in the ass and hug them at the same time... Like STOP, SNAP OUT OF IT!! 💔💔 the man they're so desperate for is laughing at them oh, and they can't see that?
A uniquely anecdotal portrayal of the harsh realities and travails of personal and family lives. The delusions, diversions and inner and outward conflicts involving the passage of time are also well characterized. The last several minutes of the movie were quite sobering. Thumbs Up and thanks for the upload.
Thank you for posting this amazing movie I’m a 57 year old woman and all these old movies always brings back so many great memories use to watch movies like these with my mom I hope she is up in heaven watching them with me I miss her so much thank you 💜💜👏🏽👏🏽
Right Keith, this comes across very slow but it kept building up with this constant rejection of reality Mama /Shirley Booth really never grew up after so many years of marriage not suspecting anything. And for some time now she's only hoping what she was hearing is just vicious rumors, they only happens to other families. Always being a Pollyanna thinking that Jackie's nights out was only for business. Oh long were being drawn to watching this how it escalated to a catastrophe for Jack that loose woman of his.. And if they survived and got married Jack's sperm would probably be way beyond its prime to spawn healthy children. So I suppose this accident was a sort of mercy killing to prevent another uneventful marriage for Jackie to live with a child would be disabled. That would really get his goat wouldn't it.. We hear some famous people who had disabled children always resented them.and were very cruel to their children like Charles Lindbergh and Chris Benet. If that happened when Jackie and that floozy got married Jackie looks like the type that a disabled child would only keep him down from having fun in his life... And this blank stare expressions of Shirley Booth who is slowly processing all this seems to be telling us she doesn't want any of this to be happening therefore she always seems to be and never growing up stage and living in the Here and Now.. a lot of us are like this l guees. She was so easy to hurt for
Same here! Glad I watched it through. It was very sweet and always great acting , these black & white movies Never knew anything of Ms. Booth nor Mr. Quinn. I usually watch these movies by actors , actresses I love
AP2TMH POWER~ I will NEVER again allow people 2 abuse me because I want 2 keep them in my life. Family, or otherwise. I'll love em, 🙏 pray 4 them, & keep it moving. Thanks 4 upload🌺😌🌺
Great movie. I love cozy black and white old movies. Curled up on the couch, with hot chocolate and some Scuby snakes. Brilliant acting. I love the sitting around the table together as a family talking. Saying grace before a meal. Instead of everyone, in different rooms engrossed in technology.Much better times for many. Thank you for sharing. Did they really do it in them days?. Shocking.
You have so many gems that slipped between the cracks of my cinema viewing over the years; when I was ill for a long while all I could do was watch channels like TCM to take my mind off my situation and I thought I'd established a fairly wide ranging knowledge of American film. That said, I am running across so many obscure titles that thrill me more with each new discovery. I envy your library, Chris. Thanks ever so much for sharing.
It is such great fun discovering good ole Hollywood Black & White movies. With that being said....since I was about 8 years old......I have been watching, growing up with and enjoying these cinematic gems. But...it is such great fun to happen upon a new one that I had not seen before; and the selections are vast.
Cynthia Lyman So glad and happy you’ve discovered these old films! I love them and understand being ill. These movies are comforting and interesting. The production, the costumes, the dialogue... so fun! Praying you are well and happy.
You're very right Jessica. but the first half it's like a snowball of mostly denials rolling down the hill only to be met with a very sobering brick wall to crash into
Hot spell one of my favorites, beautifully scripted . Shirley Booth amazing in this movie . Love seeing Eileen Heckart another one of my favorite actresses . Thanks for upload.
To beg for a man to love you, is so degrading, desperate. Then her Mother told her daughter to tell the guy I love you, wow, and the guy constantly said "I don't love you". When a man don't want your love, walk away, God will heal the heart, don't chase. At the end, he reaped what he sowed. A very great movie, when you don"t like a actor, that means he is great, done his job, in portraying the character. A great cast, great writing, great director. Yes indeeed.
@@nonenoneonenonenone Apparently you are following me on social media due to your obsession, poor thang. You need to come out the closet, and get some therapy. I will pray for you...poor thang ting.
I agree the pain he caused her was very heart-wrenching! And I'll tell you what, that Shirley Booth was really a good actress in this movie, playing that part so well that they picked the right actress for this part.. It's her actions, body language, and the voice and the manner in which she's able to talk and portray a woman in such a situation as that, trying to please this horrible husband/ Dad excuse me he's not a dad he's the "kids s.o.b father" that is so sad, and he had to give her so much credit for putting on a front for her kids about him kind of building him up and not wanting the kids to think badly of him . And a lot of it was that he she didn't want any fighting when he came home . Hate to say it but it reminds me kind of of my grandma, my grandfather didn't cheat on her but he liked to sit in the tavern and bet on the horses at the bookie after work almost every single day and on the weekend go to the race track. He brought me with the track and to The Tamarind sometime I was like 5-6 years old He wouldn't give her a dime, seriously poor thing would walk to church every morning then clean houses and help people just to get a couple of bucks in her pocket and actually just to end up spending it on somebody else, cuz she was so sweet and good-hearted! I'm talking about in the late 50s, 60s and all the way into the 70s. And he would never take her anywhere and she'd say Ed can't you just let me come and have a couple drinks with you but he wouldn't! but she embarrassed him because she talked way too much and because she was very lonely. and she did get on his nerves at home too. I lived with them and I love my papa so much and Papa if you're looking down and see this now, I want you to know that💞💕 I really love you so much, you and gram raised me but we know there was nothing but fighting, yelling and drinking in that house. Shirley Booth played in a movie with Burt Lancaster called Come Back Little Sheba yeah, where she reminded me of the character she played in this movie, oh geez there's my gram again in my head.... omG I think many Housewives were at the mercy of their husband, I don't know if that's putting it too harshly or overly dramatic but we get the gist of it don't we? And to the men out there that might be looking at this oh, don't take me wrong there is very very good husbands in this world too 😥🙏🏻 🙈🙉🙊
Watched that too, Shirley Booth did a great job in these movies and definitely tugged at your Heartstrings, that's for sure! It's it's 5 a.m. where I'm at and I just watched her in Hazel , what a character! Good actress Shirley Booth is♥ 💯%💯%💯% 🎥🎬🙌🏾😄😢😰💐💐💐
And the whole family they were so disfunctional because of his terrible demeanor... He literally destroyed his family who crept on eggshells.... Very controlling man Awful
A very touching and poignant film. I LOVE Shirley Booth! What a wonderful actress! Being from the South, the story resonates deep within me. The whole cast was wonderful. I wish that we had more movies like this in the here and now, but, alas, that time period is gone forever. Sigh...
Shirley Booth could really wring your heart! She was excellent! I enjoyed seeing Eileen Heckart again. I had only seen her in The Bad Seed. Thanks for the upload.
I’m watching it now. I’m assuming it was mental abuse? Is that what she endured ? I’m feeling that too. When is my day of reckoning ? Is it spousal abuse? I wish I could se the description but I gather I will have to watch the movie at this late hour. Tell me ladies is the karma that got him?
Wonderful movie..Shirley Booth's acting seemed as though she was not acting at all! Flawless performance, I throughly enjoyed watching this video, thanks for uploading it!
Loved the scene between Eileen Heckert and Shirley Booth when Eileen tries to teach Shirley how to be a floozy. That’s the only word that would come to my mind. Lol!
This was such a good movie, and funny! Shirley Booth, Shirley McClain, Anthony Quinn, and Eileen Heckart teaching Shirley Booth's character how to drink, smoke cigarettes and be sassy is such a good scene. Oh my goodness, this film was wonderful Thanks for posting.
Same thing happened to me, 29 years together and then he wanted someone else, I let him go. His new love lasted about 2 months, the other woman left him! True story!!

I agree, let em go, I don't force no one to me. Sad though. People need to take vows seriously.
@@viktordubowskii695 Is sad though.
Did you take Him BACK?

I can understand that. It was only an afar and not a relationship. Sometimes they burn their bridges and can't go back to what they HAD.

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams...........
Beautiful words to reconsider life.
Soooooo true 🙌
This is so true yet rather profound. I don't believe people actually realize the importance of this statement.
Your present is your present because of everything you have done (or not done) in your past. The older you get, the more that is true. If you get things wrong, as you go through life, the older you get the unhappier you feel, because all you have is bad memories. And if you can avoid thinking of your memories in the daytime, they still come and haunt you like daemons in your sleep. It’s horrible.
I like the way you think !
The opening score is killer. You KNOW nothing good is going to happen to these characters just from the tonality of the music. Well done Alex North.
They all came out OK, thanks to mama ! The no good waster got his cumeuppence !
i relish this genre of jazz, there's something about the string and wind instruments, horns and such, that grabs my soul and carries it away, sultry, sinful, and sexy! So unique... it speaks.
Great score and that opening cue is so smooth!
I Love 50’s movies background music, it’s unbeatable. I wish I
could find those records now😊
So true. Very sorted and lotsa filth!
The title too!…!
masterpiece due to Shirley Booth’s academy award level acting. Unbelievably heart-wrenching. Have never seen better acting in any film or on any stage.
Billy….Agree….Shirley Booth is what acting ids all about
So agree. She truly becomes the character.
Shirley Booth is awesome!!
She was a champion
This Come Back Little Sheba and About Mrs. Leslie are fantastic Shirley both movies and I truly believe Robert Ryan from the later was at her level of brilliant acting abilities. Lancaster was great and Quinn was good.
I knew she was good, but I never knew she won the academy award, the tony, the Emmy!(triple crown of acting)!!! Impressive
I also loved...Come Back Little Sheba...with Shirley Booth.
I do too. I still watch it
no one gets left like Shirley Booth does
She played the same type of character in both movies, & the same in 'Hazel'. I wonder if she was in any movies when young & slim, or if she's always been a character actress?
You are correct however she played her character very well
Her happiness was built on memories instead of making happiness her current state.
It’s easy to get entangled by what has been and becoming comfortable even when we’ve outgrown a situation.

Same as in her character 6 yrs before, in 'Come Back, Little Sheba'.

Women and men still make excuses for their spouses. Incredible how many things never change.
you too. Mr Excuses that's your name
Marry for the wrong reason,, (She was a good cook, he was cute) LOL
V J True on both counts.

This is a superb, superb film, expertly acted, written. Grabs at ones inner being. "Now, that's some real go-to-hell smokin!'"
Bravo! A very compelling film that resonates too well in today's world. Also, no CGIs, no special sound/visual effects, just pure and brilliant DIALOGUES! Thank you for the upload😊
No one could play heartless bastard better than Anthony Quinn. And Shirley Booth did well at playing the perfect victim in more than one film.

It reminds me of “ Come Back Little Sheba”
Jane Deadlock
It's pretty much the same thing. 1 husband, an alcoholic
the other one, a cheater, but, she plays the same needy, time traveling, 🏡 wife.
She had some large rose tinted glasses. Always smoothing things over and making nice.
Oh yeah, Anthony Quinn player the supreme DICK. I suspect it was so in real life.
Yea ever see la strata ? He excels as an asshole
The premise of this movie is the most common in the history of TV and cinema-you can't go back again.Thanks for the upload.
Shirley Booth getting “hip chick” lessons - priceless 😂
Oh, that scene with Eileen Heckart and Shirley Booth--learning how to drink and smoke is priceless. You can tell their laughter was genuine. It would be hard to get through a scene like that without laughing. I bet they loved doing that scene.
That is a great scene, between two actresses who were outstanding in William Inge plays in the 1950s. Shirley Booth had played Lola Delaney in COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA (also directed by Daniel Mann) on the Broadway stage and in the movie, and Eileen Heckart had played Rosemary Sidney in PICNIC and Lottie Lacey in THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS on Broadway. Imagine her and Teresa Wright (as Cora Flood) in their great scene late in Act II of that last play!
Kathleen Horner + watched the scene after your comment. Yep. Indeed! Their laughter is for real! Just can't fake that.

I liked Eileen Heckhart timming. Great performance.
@@KrisTina-dp5yj yes she was great! Loved her in 1958s The Bad Seed as Hortence Dagal. Cheers ✌
Boy, what an emotional roller coaster! Great movie! Never saw Anthony Quinn that young play such a part. Shirley Booth is fabulous!! A real tear jerker.
Such a good movie. They could never make movies like this now. These actors were brilliant.🌼
Reading through the comments, I am tickled to see so much admiration for the great Shirley Booth.
Anthony Quinn, Eileen Heckart, Shirley McClain, Earl Holliman. This cast turned a human drama into an utterly memorable experience. 💙👏
Stellar cast here. And loved seeing a young Shirley MacLaine.
Shirley Booth-- a magnificent actress. Probably one of the best .

@@gj.burchallburchall5551 What a petty comment.
The movies you see today are a joke compared to how compelling movies were back then 🌈
so are many people staysafe
Shirley Booth... Pure Genius ❤
Shirley Booth was one of the best actresses ever.
watch her every morning on Hazel Love her
@@forestre59 What channel is that? I miss watching Hazel too. Is it 'Dish'?
i know you've seen "come back little sheba" one of my favorites
If playing Hazel in every part she ever had is great acting, I guess.
Did anyone hear what he screamed, just before he crashed, Hey Momma, and right before he left his wife, he told her, that he wasnt a child!! How fitting, just priceless! Good writing, and Direction.
I thought he was calling his wife in those last few seconds not his mother.
@@@santinowilliams693; He called his wife 'Momma', so yes - he was calling for his wife.
He said "Alma" his wife's name.
@@2jmeyer
He said mama not alma. That doesn't even sound the same
he yelled MA MA, his last thoughts were of his wife whom he called mama. he was never going to be happy anyway in that situation, 10 years down the road that young woman would have been out the door, while putting him in a nursing home someplace, especially if he didn't have any money....
Never beg anyone to be with you.
Beg all you want! Just don't take yourself serious.
Lawra New. IT'S DEMEANING.👥💯
Especially when your rival is cheap!, ...she's not chap!... Ok common! And smells like cheap perfume.(-:
I've seen women very desperate like that and I wanted to kick them in the ass and hug them at the same time... Like STOP, SNAP OUT OF IT!! 💔💔 the man they're so desperate for is laughing at them oh, and they can't see that?
Yeah...I tried it to bitter ends...
Great story, great acting !
Excellent movie. Shirley Booth is wonderful.
Shirley MacLaine looks so young and gorgeous. And that hairstyle on her 💜
@roger johnson Apparently, you've chosen to be a stark raving loony. That's... special.
@@mysterysurf4554 lol.. roger's horns and trident are showing... I'm surprised that he goes out in public (or does he?)
@Rubber Soul Have you seen her in The Apartment ?
The family that prays together stays together. Love that! In film and in life!
A uniquely anecdotal portrayal of the harsh realities and travails of personal and family lives. The delusions, diversions and inner and outward conflicts involving the passage of time are also well characterized. The last several minutes of the movie were quite sobering. Thumbs Up and thanks for the upload.
Shirley Booth was such a brilliant actress even before her tv 📺 character Hazel in the 60s.
Classic 🍿thank you 🙂 we appreciate you 😊 20 stars 🌟 love miss Booth
Terrific acting. The kitchen scene with mama and her friend is hilarious.
Shirley Booth was fantastic in this.
Thank you for the upload.
This movie in its day was called a kitchen sink drama.
I enjoyed this movie so much, I' ll be watching it again tomorrow. Shirley Booth....what an amazing actress!
Thank you for posting this amazing movie I’m a 57 year old woman and all these old movies always brings back so many great memories use to watch movies like these with my mom I hope she is up in heaven watching them with me I miss her so much thank you 💜💜👏🏽👏🏽
What a great script and cast. Terrific movie.
Really one o the best little films I've seen on RUclips for a while, the acting, writing, directing all great, thanks Chris Johnson!
Right Keith, this comes across very slow but it kept building up with this constant rejection of reality Mama /Shirley Booth really never grew up after so many years of marriage not suspecting anything. And for some time now she's only hoping what she was hearing is just vicious rumors, they only happens to other families. Always being a Pollyanna thinking that Jackie's nights out was only for business. Oh long were being drawn to watching this how it escalated to a catastrophe for Jack that loose woman of his.. And if they survived and got married Jack's sperm would probably be way beyond its prime to spawn healthy children. So I suppose this accident was a sort of mercy killing to prevent another uneventful marriage for Jackie to live with a child would be disabled. That would really get his goat wouldn't it.. We hear some famous people who had disabled children always resented them.and were very cruel to their children like Charles Lindbergh and Chris Benet. If that happened when Jackie and that floozy got married Jackie looks like the type that a disabled child would only keep him down from having fun in his life... And this blank stare expressions of Shirley Booth who is slowly processing all this seems to be telling us she doesn't want any of this to be happening therefore she always seems to be and never growing up stage and living in the Here and Now.. a lot of us are like this l guees. She was so easy to hurt for
Same here!
Glad I watched it through. It was very sweet and always great acting , these black & white movies
Never knew anything of Ms. Booth nor Mr. Quinn. I usually watch these movies by actors , actresses I love
I ended up enjoying it.
because Ms. MacLaine was starting in it.
starring in it...
Keith is this a perfect little gem or what
AP2TMH POWER~
I will NEVER again allow people 2 abuse me because I want 2 keep them in my life. Family, or otherwise. I'll love em, 🙏 pray 4 them, & keep it moving. Thanks 4 upload🌺😌🌺
Great movie. I love cozy black and white old movies. Curled up on the couch, with hot chocolate and some Scuby snakes. Brilliant acting. I love the sitting around the table together as a family talking. Saying grace before a meal. Instead of everyone, in different rooms engrossed in technology.Much better times for many. Thank you for sharing. Did they really do it in them days?. Shocking.
I feel same way...Love to get some hot tea and a piece of pie (preferably chocolate) and enjoy these classic movies...ha ha
every nite we sate around the table and had a prayer before we ate...and us kids didn't get up till we asked to be excused...
@@GEC416 Well done your parents. how things have changed.
@@kaila62kaila Great stuff.I'm not alone.
@@dannygillingham7904 Thank you. Bery tasty.Scooby dooo.
You have so many gems that slipped between the cracks of my cinema viewing over the years; when I was ill for a long while all I could do was watch channels like TCM to take my mind off my situation and I thought I'd established a fairly wide ranging knowledge of American film. That said, I am running across so many obscure titles that thrill me more with each new discovery. I envy your library, Chris. Thanks ever so much for sharing.
It is such great fun discovering good ole Hollywood Black & White movies.
With that being said....since I was about 8 years old......I have been watching, growing up with and enjoying these cinematic gems. But...it is such great fun to happen upon a new one that I had not seen before; and the selections are vast.
Never heard of this was until last year. A hidden gem.
I feel sorry for the mama and daughter .
Cynthia Lyman So glad and happy you’ve discovered these old films! I love them and understand being ill. These movies are comforting and interesting. The production, the costumes, the dialogue... so fun! Praying you are well and happy.
@crankylifter Thank you, l am, and l agree!
Had me in absolute tears last half of the movie. Such a great one
You're very right Jessica. but the first half it's like a snowball of mostly denials rolling down the hill only to be met with a very sobering brick wall to crash into
Wow! Great movie.
Love old movies...this one hit a little too close to home...lots of raw emotion both on screen and personally. Thank you for sharing
Charity West
me too
Charity West: Sad that all memories of the Fifties were Not good. For one thing, women had little recourse when there was domestic violence...
For me too, that was my mum and dad and my brother and I trying to manage. Horrible. Great film. Not often Hollywood hits truth in such a raw fashion.
Same here!
a little too close to home
Hot spell one of my favorites, beautifully scripted . Shirley Booth amazing in this movie . Love seeing Eileen Heckart another one of my favorite actresses . Thanks for upload.
To beg for a man to love you, is so degrading, desperate. Then her Mother told her daughter to tell the guy I love you, wow, and the guy constantly said "I don't love you". When a man don't want your love, walk away, God will heal the heart, don't chase. At the end, he reaped what he sowed. A very great movie, when you don"t like a actor, that means he is great, done his job, in portraying the character. A great cast, great writing, great director. Yes indeeed.
You don't understand men. Learn.

What a wonderful film, this is one of my favorite, I didn't even though it existed, thank you so much.
they say, if you play with fire, you might get burned...jack got lit💥💣🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really good movie!! Eileen Heckart was amazing. Love her. The whole cast. Great story.
Excellent movie. The pain the husband caused his wife was heart wrenching. So sad.
I agree the pain he caused her was very heart-wrenching! And I'll tell you what, that Shirley Booth was really a good actress in this movie, playing that part so well that they picked the right actress for this part.. It's her actions, body language, and the voice and the manner in which she's able to talk and portray a woman in such a situation as that, trying to please this horrible husband/ Dad excuse me he's not a dad he's the "kids s.o.b father" that is so sad, and he had to give her so much credit for putting on a front for her kids about him kind of building him up and not wanting the kids to think badly of him . And a lot of it was that he she didn't want any fighting when he came home . Hate to say it but it reminds me kind of of my grandma, my grandfather didn't cheat on her but he liked to sit in the tavern and bet on the horses at the bookie after work almost every single day and on the weekend go to the race track. He brought me with the track and to The Tamarind sometime I was like 5-6 years old He wouldn't give her a dime, seriously poor thing would walk to church every morning then clean houses and help people just to get a couple of bucks in her pocket and actually just to end up spending it on somebody else, cuz she was so sweet and good-hearted! I'm talking about in the late 50s, 60s and all the way into the 70s. And he would never take her anywhere and she'd say Ed can't you just let me come and have a couple drinks with you but he wouldn't! but she embarrassed him because she talked way too much and because she was very lonely. and she did get on his nerves at home too. I lived with them and I love my papa so much and Papa if you're looking down and see this now, I want you to know that💞💕 I really love you so much, you and gram raised me but we know there was nothing but fighting, yelling and drinking in that house.
Shirley Booth played in a movie with Burt Lancaster called Come Back Little Sheba yeah, where she reminded me of the character she played in this movie, oh geez there's my gram again in my head.... omG I think many Housewives were at the mercy of their husband, I don't know if that's putting it too harshly or overly dramatic but we get the gist of it don't we? And to the men out there that might be looking at this oh, don't take me wrong there is very very good husbands in this world too 😥🙏🏻
🙈🙉🙊
You should watch her in , Come Back Little Sheba" with Burt Lancaster as a recovering alcoholic husband.
Watched that too, Shirley Booth did a great job in these movies and definitely tugged at your Heartstrings, that's for sure! It's it's 5 a.m. where I'm at and I just watched her in Hazel , what a character! Good actress Shirley Booth is♥ 💯%💯%💯% 🎥🎬🙌🏾😄😢😰💐💐💐
I must add my praise to Shirley Booth's lead role. And am really look forward to seeing, "Come Back, Litte Sheba."
And the whole family they were so disfunctional because of his terrible demeanor...
He literally destroyed his family who crept on eggshells....
Very controlling man
Awful
A great movie with a
stellar cast!! Interesting character similarities between this and Come Back Little Sheba .
I don't know how I came across this movie but I'm glad I did . I really liked it .
So did I ...... 1/22/2020
Life has a way of working out in the end. Good movie. Thank you.
Brilliant...so moving, such incredible acting.
A very touching and poignant film. I LOVE Shirley Booth! What a wonderful actress! Being from the South, the story resonates deep within me. The whole cast was wonderful. I wish that we had more movies like this in the here and now, but, alas, that time period is gone forever. Sigh...
Shirley Booth could really wring your heart! She was excellent! I enjoyed seeing Eileen Heckart again. I had only seen her in The Bad Seed. Thanks for the upload.
Oh no! You've been missing a great actress!
She was also Mary Richards aunt, on the mtm show.
I prefer bourbon…but anything’ll do
A wonderful classic movie....Thanks for sharing.
Thanks . Love these old movies! No commercials!👍😘
I'd never noticed that homemade ironing board. creative
Brought back old hurts, but there comes a reckoning.....
Linda Gulley : this movie is so similar to my own life😥! It's amazing! As a movie it's wonderful!
Yes Linda. It does bring back old hurt's. However, we survive.
@@susanh.4733 So true ~
I’m watching it now. I’m assuming it was mental abuse? Is that what she endured ? I’m feeling that too. When is my day of reckoning ? Is it spousal abuse? I wish I could se the description but I gather I will have to watch the movie at this late hour. Tell me ladies is the karma that got him?
Shirley Booth is on the level of Sarah Bernhardt and Laurette Taylor, flawless!
Shirley Booth was awesome in her days! Such a good actress!!
Wonderful movie..Shirley Booth's acting seemed as though she was not acting at all! Flawless performance, I throughly enjoyed watching this video, thanks for uploading it!
This film has blown me away. Shirley Booth is a magician.
Loved the scene between Eileen Heckert and Shirley Booth when Eileen tries to teach Shirley how to be a floozy. That’s the only word that would come to my mind. Lol!
Dazzling.. That was hilarious.. I bet they had so much fun doing that too.. That was one of my best parts..
I got the feeling they were actually really having a good time filming that scene.
That was the word.
This was an excellent movie. Brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend it.
:::applause:::: Well, just a second before the crash, he yelled "momma!" Loved the movie. Second time to see it over the years
A gem that includes Shirley and Shirley.! Booth and MacLaine!
Yes - were they related ?
This was such a good movie, and funny! Shirley Booth, Shirley McClain, Anthony Quinn, and Eileen Heckart teaching Shirley Booth's character how to drink, smoke cigarettes and be sassy is such a good scene. Oh my goodness, this film was wonderful Thanks for posting.
Definitely a more than watch once movie here.
