    CLASSIC MOVIE REVIEW: Spring arrives with one of the most heartwarming films in MGM history, Clarence Brown’s “National Velvet (1944), starring Mickey Rooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Donald Crisp, Angela Lansbury and Oscar winner Anne Revere. Taken from the novel by Enid Bagnold and filmed in glorious color, the film follows the dreams of a young English girl (Taylor) and her beautiful stallion known as “The Pye”. With the help of a rough young trainer (Rooney) and a wise and gentle mother (Revere), she is able to achieve her dream of entering “Pye” in The Grand National, the greatest horse race in England. It’s nostalgic, heart stopping, sensitive and beguiling. So, sit back and fall in love with “National Velvet.”

    National Velvet has always been one of my favorite films and Steve, you touched on absolutely everything I find wonderful about it. Yes, the supporting actors especially Anne Revere are brilliant. Yes, the back and forth between Mr. and Mrs Brown is charming. Yes, the skill of Clarence Brown, the director is excellent (he also used Butch Jenkins and Rooney in The Human Comedy 1943). Yes to the score also being excellent. Herbert Stothardt, film composer is rarely appreciated or acknowledged. It is often said he is too corny and that may be true but I like corny movies and his music makes my emotions pay attention. Yes, you even notice the MGM endings being magical, larger than life and they certainly are. Your reviews are always terrific but I especially enjoyed this one. I first found you because you were on TCM once and were very entertaining.
    My favorite movie of all time is Flight for Freedom 1943 Rosalind Russell playing a fictional Amelia Earhardt. Also Fred MacMurray. Not shown on TV in 30 years it is at last available on Warner Bros DVD. Its a terrific movie and I hope you can check it out.

Anne Revere's win in "National Velvet" is still one of my favorite Oscar victories. Happy Summer; Steve

      My pleasure and what a pleasure this film is, from begining to end. Perfectly cast. Would that all children grew up with as loving, firm, wise and supportive a parent as Anne Revere is in this. One of the most deserved Oscars. Elia Kazan later wrote that, in retrospect, her performance as Gregpry Peck's mother was the only thing he still liked about "Gentlemen's Agreement". Confidentially, as to this film, by the time Velvet rides to the top of the hill at the end of the movie, to tell Mi at that his father coached her mother in her swim across English Channel and that score rises in triumph...I'm a mess. Thanks so much and Happy Summer! Steve

Clarence Brown also directed the great The Human Comedy, William Saroyan’s classic story, Louis B. Mayer’s top favorite movie and certainly one of mine. Have you reviewed it here? The movie has a large, incredible cast including Mickey Rooney, Jackie Jenkins, an unrecognizable Darryl Hickman as a kind, lonely bookworm, young Robert Mitchum as a soldier, Fay Bainter is Mom, Ray Collins her deceased husband who visits her, Adeline DeWalt Reynolds is a dear librarian, Van Johnson, Donna Reed, Frank Morgan, Barry Nelson, Don Defore, Juanita Quigley. Morris Ankrum, Hobart Cavanaugh, James Craig, Mary Nash is a wise teacher, Byron Foulger is a track coach! Clem Bevins, Alfalfa Switzer, so many more, including the great actress / humanitarian Marsha Hunt, who is doing very well today at age 104!

    Dear Steve, as the Grand National is being run tomorrow, I thought this might be the right film to thank you for reviewing. Angela Lansbury has said since that she'd never seen a girl with such lovely natural colouring and beauty as Elizabeth Taylor, and I can well believe it. I could never forget her exquisite face as the girl who dies in "Jane Eyre" and this is a lovely, heart warming film about what is actually an incredibly tough and gruelling race. Elizabeth Taylor was simply incredibly beautiful from childhood onwards, and a wonderful actress, when she had the right material. May I just add a little titbit for you? I know you go to other places in England besides London when you visit, and I wonder whether you have been to Oxford, and a little town outside it called Woodstock? I ask because much of the Jane Hickson Miss Marple "Nemesis" was filmed there, and because I used to stay there long ago, in an hotel which had little cottages behind it, so that you had a home and not just a room. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton used to stay there when they were married, and a chambermaid told me she'd scream at him because he always ordered kippers for breakfast, and they smelled to high Heaven. But it was when they were happy, so it's nice to think of. Thank you for forgiving me for going on and on about troubles - I was scared to death I had driven you away. Very best wishes, Alida

    • @STEVEHAYESTOQ
      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  4 месяца назад

      YDerest Alida; You never drive me away and I'm always glad to hear from you. I went to Oxford, Warwick Castle and Stratford-upon-Avon my first trip to London back in 1999. In 2018, I vsiited Sussex and The Seven Sisters , which I loved and last year, I visited Bath and went to Brighton. So, I manage to get in some side trips thanks to the generosity of my friends. I adore the UK. I'd love to see the village of Woodstock. Coincidentally, the village I grew up in and just returned from visiting in upstate New York, is called " New Woodstock". Four generations of my father's side have lived there and my parents are buried there as well. Of the Joan Hickson " Miss Marples", "Nemesis" is my favorite, along with " A Murder Is Announced" . As for " National Velvet", Clarence Brown was one of the most underrated directors. He's so sensitive and the films are breathtaking. He's not afraid of sentimentality, which I love. Along with "National Velvet", I love; " The Human Comedy", "The Rains Came", "The Yearling" and "Intruder In The Dust", these are just a few examples of his masterpieces. My favorite performance in " National Velvet" is Anne Revere. Her scenes are so heartfelt, wise & touching. I feel it's one of the Oscar's most deserved wins. So tragic she was blacklisted , as was Oscar winner, villainess supreme, Gale Sondergaard, among so many talented others. The stupidity and insufferability of the people who run the government over the years is astounding. Sorry...carried away. Have a lovely weekend! Best Wishes; Steve

    Anne Revere was great, and very different than her role in A Place in the Sun.

    • @STEVEHAYESTOQ
      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  Год назад

      Her role in "A Place In the Sun" was her last before she was blacklisted. They cut out a substantial part of it before the release. So sad.

    Still waiting for this on Blu-ray in a restored print. One of the greatest from the MGM vault of classics, and Elizabeth Taylor was perfect, showing how unfair the bias can be regarding child performances somehow being "lesser" than a big dramatic performance by an adult star. Taylor did impressive work later of course but, as Pauline Kael once opined, I don't think she was ever better onscreen than what she pulls off here.

    • @STEVEHAYESTOQ
      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  4 года назад

      She didn't either. It was her favorite film. When I went to see here jwels in New York the only personal career items they had that meant anything to her were her two Oscars...she hated the first one for "Butterfield 8" and her original script for "National Velvet'. The final shot in this one always makes me cry, when she rides to the top of the hill and Micky is whistling and walking and that scre rises to the fade out, I am always a mess. And I LOVE Anne Revere. Thanks for watching!

      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  3 года назад

      Thanks. to quote the late , great Pauline Kael; "I Lost It At The Movies". I think that comes with age, the older I get, the more emitional I get, especially over things that move me deeply or that I feel stronly about, both of which the old movies seem to cover so brilliantly . I'm also an incurable romantic and all I've listened to for years are movie scores, so that undoubtedly feeds the emotional sides of my character as well. Take care; Steve.

    Technicolor you can eat with a spoon. Ann Revere - I dare you to find one minute of screen time in which she is not 100% there. And Steve notes, Mickey Rooney is grossly
    under-rated as an actor. Tennessee Williams called him one of the greatest actors in American film. (!)

    • @STEVEHAYESTOQ
      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  4 года назад +1

      You are so right. Rooney get's shuffled under the rug because he was around so long and did so many things. But he WAS MGM during that period. Tenacious and taleneted. The ultimate combination! Thanks for watching! Please push the "like" button. It really helps!

    Anne Revere's blacklisting is even more tragic since she is a descendent of Paul Revere.
