And nothing changed in 150 years. If you are famous or rich - you don’t pay for nothing. It’s “always a pleasure to serve the rich and famous!”
Jeez, I just discovered his movies few weeks ago and I'm totally in love... He was so handsome, tall, elegant, gentle... And his voice was wonderful... Why don't we have more men like him? 😢
Too many kin adds!!!!
Pharma cell phones and lack of father figures
We do, but you’re just blinded by your own vanity.
Because Hollywood has gone woke and trans.
We have in Georgia
Gregory peck has been resting in peace for a while….but my goodness,I still have such a grand crush for this very versatile ,handsome and polished human being
hands down my fav movie with him in it is "The Yearlong' and Jane Wyant is tops in that too
So do I!
Touché.
Sharukh Khan not good enough for you?
I agree with you my friend..."A Real Gentleman" have a Great New Year 2023 Namaste 🙏
I think Gregory Peck was such a handsome man. I love him in all his movies.
In addition he has a lovely deep voice, great presence. He comes off as intelligent, humble yet self assured and full of noble qualities we admire in a man. Even if it's all fiction I don't mind enjoying it's effect on me. He satisfies a soul need.
My favorite scene in this film is in the restaurant. Peck sits down to the first solid meal he's had in too many days. His pleasure is boundless and he promptly cleans the plate and orders more of the same. If you've ever been more than politely hungry, you can relate. Every bite is sublime and the satisfaction is intoxicating.
It's my favourite too!
My late husband worked with Gregory Peck on a film back in the mid 70’s, one weekend the phone rang and I found myself speaking to the man himself… that beautiful velvet voice , I will never forget, (unlike me, I was rendered almost speechless) !such a gentle mannered charming man .
I did get to meet him before he went back to the States and, YES, he was very handsome. 😊
@@deniseking2541 Oh nice! he does seem gentle and charming, comes through in this movie and I don't think it's just acting.
I love the phrase "...politely hungry ..." Hunger is not polite, but people are compelled to be so.
Great movie, but I have to say the original Mark Twain story was so funny I almost wet myself. Try reading "Cecil Rhodes And The Shark," it's the same humorous vein.
Good luck to you, Sir or Madame Valkyrie. Wagner loved ya ...
Great fun!
I don't care for the movie but the restaurant scene is a classic.
this movie i watched with my father in childhood gregroy peck was his fav now my age 63 today by chance seen it and downloading to watch to memroize my father as he used to tell me story my lovely father always miss him
Handsome Gregory Peck forever.
What a versatile actor my God!!! It’s simply unthinkable that such a serious actor as Peck can do the most genuinely humourous movie to date. May the Lord Almighty always keep Mr Gregory Peck - a man of such honour, dignity and modesty-in his final abode infinitely happy and blessed. Love you forever. If only you were still here❤❤❤❤❤
Still 2023, classic never get old 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I love George
Old movies, love them as they are so relaxing, handsome hero and pretty lady 😊
What a pleasant and easy movie to just sit back and enjoy a great script and marvelous acting. You didn't have to decide who were the good and bad characters, who was the victim or who rode the majestic steed to save the day. This movie was as pure entertainment--plain and simple. I will let all my family and close friends know about this movie!
Nicely stated. Spot on.
Well said.
Enjoy the fact that everything was classier & refined compared to the crap of today's Idiocracy.
Much better than the remake (Trading Places).
Places
Excellent movie. Love how she was not after his fortune. What shall a man profit, if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul. My favorite actor Gregory Peck.🌷
This is what Hollywood was, at least to some extent...clean, moral, exiting, fun, good acting, family values, pure class,...etc you name it, it was wonderful. This movie NEVER GETS OLD. Thank you for posting. What a treat.
I used to watch this with my mum when i was quite young. Just remembered it today, and here it is! Magic.
Just love Gregory Peck ( n my mom RIP)。Don‘t know how I missed this one great comedy??? Glad to find it today at my old age. Such a handsome and decent human being and great actor!!!!!!
In 2018, this movie is still enjoyable. Old classics never die. They don't even fade away. They stand tall and interesting forever.
Ikr, watching it in 2022
You can say that again
Soo true god bless you and lm calling it in too🙏❤️😄
I love those grenadier guards ... Beautiful
Aww!! I soo love Gregory Peck!! Sigh!!! 😍😍😍❤❤❤they don't make them like that anymore ❤❤❤ So glad i watched it..Thanks for uploading!!
Peck's charm is out of this world 😍
Non mais ça va pas la tête pauvre conne ? Tu es malade ma pauvre fille !
Wow, such a nice and simple movie with no nudity and foul language. I wish we had more like this one. Oldie and goodie!I guess this where they got the idea of Trading places! I enjoyed them both!🙌🏾💯💯💯💯✅
frm India, most of us don't know that American movies were like this once, no nudity, only story oriented.
Lots of treasures like this 🎞 film, need to be remembered
@@sahej6939 👍I began watching 50s Hollywood movie, since u liked it, suggest u see, "The old little new York" not silent one,it got good story,humor,
This is a British made film, not American, although the star is American.
Arguably my favourite movie of all time. Teaches you to be honest and straight while today's movies teach you how to be criminals and thugs.
12/10/2020~~ WONDERFUL old movie! When movies were good, wholesome and not vulgar! Cute story! A VERY handsome and charming Gregory Peck!
This has always been my favorite Mark Twain story.
Found this film a couple of years ago..I love it..
Always fun to watch.
Shame they don't make films like this anymore.
They do but ya got to be patient and watch a lot of frog movies
I’ve seen this about a Million times and I could see it a Million more.
A True Legendary Masterpiece!
20/10
Mark Twain was a remarkable human & 1 of the best authors we have seen ... r.i.p Mr. Twain
“The mere honor of your presence is a reward in itself”. Never get bored to watch this movie again and again
What a delicious movie. A brilliantly original tale by Mark Twain satirizing a central human trait, superb looks, voice and acting by the incomparable Gregory Peck, and delightful music, scenery and overall acting. When you immediately re-watch a movie in its entirety right after seeing it the first time, it must be special.
Gregory peck is a Hollywood legend. I had the opportunity to see the hindi version of this movie in India in which Bollywood star Devanand( also known as Gregory peck of India). To day my long-term desire of seeing this film fulfilled.
What a wonderful film, The Million Pound Note is my favourite. The Boys from Brazil was a great film too RIP Gregory Peck, you are missed 😪
At the time in which this was filmed my Nan used to live in the house used for filming. She told me that her and her brothers used to sit and watch the filming take place and she says it was one of the most magical things she’s ever seen.
wow thats great. I hope she got to speak to Gregory Peck
How wonderful a connection.💝
Hello thanks for sharing.saludos
You belongs to a lucky family cz your family had the honour to host n meet such beautiful people 🙏❤

good show because of Gregory Peck 💗
Gregory Peck is my favourite most best looking Hollywood actor, who frequently came to Kolkata's ( India ) Great Eastern Hotel _ Rozario.
Amam
I prefer James Stewart
@@sheenajohn9436 I honestly think Peck beats Stewart hands down.
Gregory Peck, Humphrey bogart, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Robert Mitchum remain my all time favorite actions 💯
I am not sure what it is exactly however Gregory Peck has some resemblance with Devanand
OMG I'M so blessed to see this right now ❤ Thank you 💝🙏🏻
What a phenomenal person the hero.. No intention to cheat money.. What he got.. ❤His honesty to tell the truth about his identity to his lover... Simply and very interesting movie 😊. 🎉🎉I loved it
Once again Mark Twain gives us divine insight into human nature
Try Reading "Puddinghead Wilson" Mark Twain's take on racism and privilege.
I love movies like this. No cell phones. Simple ethics. Fun stuff. Thank you.
What a truly great film. Peoples perception of a person just by appearance totally changed by their wealth.
Gregory Peck 1916-2003! Wow! What a life ! Check out his grandson, Ethan Peck a look a like for sure and yup he’s an actor!
Thanks for posting this move. I simply loved it. When actors were actors and movies were clean! Lovely days.
£5 notes were very rare even in the 60s
My thought exactly
Try to watching .. Roman Holiday.. beautiful story too

♥✞♥Lord let me find back the lost treasure of time ,time for gentle listening to a friend ,for sharing the play of a child, for consoling the suffering of a fellow human being ,for thinking without straying, for labor without pressure.

I have watched this movie at least 50 times. Timeless. Gregory Peck at his best. A timeless classic.

@@road2apples That's lovely, and very true! Thank you.
I have a producer friend from Hungary who was friend of Gregory Peck.
@@classicalaid1 nice - any gossip??
How nice it is to see Miss Marple/Joan Hickson in her younger days in the restaurant!
I actually enjoyed this more than Trading Places, the other movie based off this Mark Twain short story.
I thought the plot seemed familiar.
Thanks!
I figured it out when Gregory Peck was trying to pick up that pear off the sidewalk when the two brothers asked him to step inside. This movie is the inspiration for the 1980's movie Trading Places isn't it? 😄
Exactly what I thought!
Before Trading Places was Being There and before that, My Fair Lady (from Pygmalion).
Gregory Peck, the epitome of class and style in his era.
Rfuvppp
Jhhyyy
I love the acting style of Gregory Peck. A very good movie. 👌🏻👍🏻
Ahhhhh.... Gregory Peck, they just don't make them like that anymore😍
i saw this film in the UK when I was just 14 years of age and thought it was a great movie. Unfortunately gone are the days when they made movies like this, just straight , clean family movies and no torrid sex scenes. Gregory Peck was indeed a truly great actor and his movies were always great too. I can truly say, those were the good old days as far as movie making was concerned.
John Robinson damn you Muat be in your70s
...and the same whining morons that post this type of tripe are the same people that stayed home in the last US national election or (worse) actually voted to put Trump in the Whitehouse (a proud advocate of prostitutes, adultery and bribes). I don't think they even recognize the word "hypocrite" anymore.
GrumblingGrognard This is the second time I have seen you post this negativity. Why are you bringing up politics on here anyway? Your remarks are totally out of context. Go “Grumble” somewhere else, please.
@@GrumblingGrognard : Do you know what the term, "Spoonerism" means? Well, you're a SMART FELLA!
@@charliewest1221 More than can be said for you, that is obvious with a pathetic post like this almost a year late.
Mr. Peck was a class act and that majestic voice. I especially liked him in Westerns however he was great in almost all of his movies. You couldn't take your eyes off of him no matter who was in a scene with him - he had that kind of presence.
In my school days 70 MM Screen was a new exhilarating experience.Me and my elder brothers and sisters would get up early have breakfast and stand in the queue for tickets 2 hours before the show .The movie ,you guessed it MACKENNAS GOLD.Never forget THAT Experience till my last breath.Where are those 70 MM Screens now?I wish my children who watch their movies on smartphones could have that experience.Gone are those days ,gone are those actors like Gregory Peck and gone are directors like J.Lee Thompson.
How happy we are-we can see any film we like, enjoy the unforgettable actors!
I love Gregory Peck's voice.
Visit my channel to hear Gregory Peck in four exceptional episodes of Suspense.
👍👍👍👍🍿🍹.
marlene singleton
And looks, and physique, and hair, and mien, and manners, and everything else about him !
I love it,too.
don’t we all
Gregory Peck: still one of the handsomest men in the world. Ever. And a great actor.
What do you mean STILL ? He died i beleive in 2003
@@hasmize Yes, his looks (may) have eluded him at last.
I thought of this film when I had no money ,and in a bad situation.the scene with the restaurant , eating all that lunch.and getting a huge win fall.
Have watched this classic master piece MANY times. But each time it brings me joy and smiles. Everything about it is top notch.
RIP, Mr. Peck and all the other cast who have passed.
👍
‘’The Million Pound Note”,Roman Holiday”, and “Night People” are three of my favourite Gregory Peck films.This was his prime time
and he was certainly his most handsome and charming around 1953-1954.They were wonderful years for films generally,of course.
Arabesque! Gregory & Sofia!
Great Gregory Peck movie!❤️😀
Finest acting talent and the most handsome actor to this day. Gregory Peck is a cut above the rest. It is a joy to watch his classics.
l fully agree.......Gregory Peck ......forget about a Clooney,Pitt,Depp,Cruise etc etc etc......Peck is the most handsome and a brilliant actor on the top...
Yeah but sadly he died in 2003 :(
Poor or rich Gregory is always amazing.
@@lime7253 Yes, always a favorite of mine too- and he had class and grace, something that is lacking in the above "A-list" actors.
Gregory Peck we really miss you. Days of ‘ Roman Holiday.’, Guns of Novarone’, To kill a Mocking Bird. etc . RIP.
My gosh Gregory Peck was simply gorgeous 😍
Yes, but he’s run a close second by Jane Griffiths and Ann Gudrun aka Gudrun Ure.
As was Clint Walker. 💞
I swear Gregory Peck was THE most handsome man that ever lived.. swoon!
xaraxania Agreed. His son is also very handsome.
xaraxania even as a young girl growing up I thought he was very handsome. But so is Tyrone Power whom I consider is the handsomest man those years.
Absolutely! London streets are so beautiful! Is it possible to return back time.
yeah!,but TYRONE POWER was the handsomest of them all!
Gregory Peck first had ambitions to become a doctor.
SWEET SWEET MOVIE 🎥 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿💗🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🍿
Now that’s a handsome man if I ever saw one. Gregory Peck was a very handsome actor indeed!
I watched it ages ago in a different country but they called it 'Millionaire without a penny' so I couldn't find and just came across it by accident. So happy ..
I like that title, Millionaire with out a Penny, better than Million Pound Note!
@@maggiesace389 Thank you, me too :)
A very entertaining movie with a deep moral story that money doesn't buy happiness or true love. I particularly liked the way Mr Adams befriended Rock a person of no standing was his closest friend in the movie, apart from his true love. They don't make them like they used to.
Absouletly Delightful Vintage movie.
Gregory Peck was impeccable!!!
That's good.
Gregory Peck is my all time favorite actor. He was a star, whereas actors today are merely celebrities.
Nunya Beeswax there are still some out there but they’re aging. And Asia has some good actors
Gregory Peck, Humphrey bogart, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Robert Mitchum remain my all time favorite actors 💯
non of them have charisma and elegance of Gregory
An absolutely great movie. They knew how to tell a good story when it was made and Gregory Peck is fantastic!
A very enjoyable movie which will never lose its appeal. Timeless classic.
An interesting fact is that this movie (along with many others at the time) showcased "British culture" to a curious American public. Feelings of alliance , commonality and jocular humor between the British and Americans was strongly promoted post WW2 and during the cold war .
Hollywood was more than happy to be a conduit for such amicable aspirations.
Is Allen a-goin' fine ?
too bad now the meedia and hoollywood aligns with the globalist to destroy countries and people and take over the world in giant world monetary fund move. They do the world wrong by lying all the day long. Do not believe a word they say.
Peck is loved by millions of people around the world❤️ RIP dear Gregory🙏🏻🕊
Yes, it was nice to visit his crypt in the basement of the Los Angeles Cathedral. Great man.
Also Carey grant beautiful handsome men..
The lady in the van is a different movie, modern, but interesting.
@@luciefahy9989 Cary Grant
Watching this movie in 2019 as a teenager of 16 years made me realize that films back in those days were absolutely amazing
satrajita I love your comment. My daughter is 23 and I’ve introduced her to these beautiful old gems. I’m glad you have this format to discover when movies were done right.☺️
@@ThatsJustPeachy1871
U r right. These r absolute gems
same thing happen when I was a kid watching old black and whitemovies. I loved them and still do while others use to laugh. so muchbetter than the stuff they make today. good for you.
The normal formula is a great author script, with a great and helpful producer, visionary director who enlisted the support of top creative people at the time.
Too much nepotism in the film industry nowadays, which means that real talented people do not get the opportunities anymore to showcase their talents as they did back then........
It's a great beautiful movie
I remember watching this when I was a kid. I never knew it was filmed in 1954. I was born in 2001 and probably watched it when I was like 9
It was about 20 years ago, I started my first year of middle-high school in a small town outside Beijing, the school year that when I started my English courses. My dad bought me the VCD of this film, so I can watch and practice my English with it. By then, I did not know who Peck is, and I have never read the book before, but, I enjoyed soo much while watching it, and I watched so many times just for fun. Every few years I would find this movie and watch it again, and it always brings good memories. Pack is such a gentleman in his movies, a role model for me.
One of the handsomest and brilliant actors of his time. I watched Roman Holiday and To Kill A Mocking Bird as a young viewer. Unforgettable performance by Gregory Peck.
Many thanks for sharing this movie.
Guns of Navarone too was a great movie
@@nimlokothi One of my absolute favorites!
Duel in the Sun was my favorite
Notice Peck has a little "tum-tum" that shows, despite the best in tailoring. Someone should have told him to hold it in in a lot of those scenes.
@MELA : I know. Just thought about today when, unless he's not the "leading man", no American would be caught dead with anyone seeing the "tummy" he has which is one of the reasons I enjoy British dramas so much. In British detective shows, the people all look much more natural instead of having perfect bodies and perfect teeth, etc. And, much better scripts without depending on shoot-outs and beating people up. And, no, I'm not a big fan of Britain, but they do some things quite well.
I was 9 years old when I first saw this movie in 1955, and I remember most of it from that time. What a great movie it was then, and now that I have seen it for the second time, it has not lost any of its intrigue or glamour. Thank you for posting this old gem.
Wonderful. I remember watching this as a child in the sixties.
“blithering, blundering, bullet-nosed, block-headed, pot belly ham, bistard, jackass!” is my new favorite insult!
I was 12 when I first saw this movie. I'm a greatgrandmother now and this movie still makes me feel .....happy, I mean, everything was so suave, light, enchanting......these "old"
movies are so beautiful., the stories were kind of "naive"....my 5 grandchildren saw this movie with me and they laughed ...and made comments ...they simply loved it.
Thank you, Mr. Gregory Peck.
Not only was Gregory peck the handsomest man ever but he was so refined in his and masculine. Such a noble actor amongst others who were not as fair and honorable.
true🌻
I watched this film a dozen times and I am not tired of watching it
it's fantastic to see such great classic movies
PLEASEEEEEEEEEE
LOAD MORE OF THE SAME OR SIMILAR
Late: Gregory Peck, a classic Hollywood actor whose deep voice, n handsome countenance gives movies complete different angle n success.
One of the all-time movie classics from the 1950s. Great story, setting and acting. Takes me back to my childhood years watching this film again. They just don't make them like this anymore.

Dec.2022: My first time seeing this movie. Such a delight! I just started watching classics, enjoyable, relaxing and a message given. Gregory Peck is a fine actor. 👍👍😍 Merry Christmas!
Delightful piece of entertainment, they don't make them like this no more
This is my 3rd Gregory Peck full movie sorta marathon (after David and Batsheba and The Snows of Kilimanjaro) and I have to say this is my favorite (yet)! So lovin’ this movie and his casting is perfect! Love love Gregory Peck ❤ Wish I was born in his time 😊❤
This brought me back to a time when they made real movies with real actors.. Innocence and Morals.. Thank you I will be going back to see more.. UTube is amazing..
My god, I hope they don't try and "remake" this !
@@petermaxwell2965 in a way they did in 1983 a film called trading places with Eddie Murphy as a down and outer
@@petermaxwell2965 and it was crap
Not really the same was it, trading places was a good movie on its own.i see what you mean, with the old dudes making a bet !
Somehow somewhere, it is a timeless story.
several years ago,in my english course, i learned this movie,very impressive
Reminds me of Trading Places. This and that are great movies!
O loved the way he cleaned up the plate, not allowing one bit of the breakfast to go to waste. Done that myself through the years n even now in my 70s😅
The financial system simply explained in less than 90 minutes. Very educational and enjoyable.
'
So we have plastic card not money
Eventually after scrolling through the comments, wondering does anybody understand the actual meaning and depth of the movie. Luckily we found one! Yes indeed, the society is completly hypnotised by this silly money game. As Rudolf Steiner (founder of Anthroposophy )called it 'deep economic sleep'. To make people move around you have to wave money at them. Good example: Earthquake in Turkey, forest burning, hungry people, etc... and what do they ask for...money first..or nobody will lift a finger. All the complaints of life is thanks to people themselves. This movie showed it very well.
I thought I'd seen most of Gregory pecks movies but I missed this one , it's very good thank you❤
The old movie classics are so much better than the current new movies. Thanks for posting !
Respect to the Legends Mark Twain and Gregory Peck. Money is not everything but trust.
I have always loved this film, there is a great moral to the story, and it still applies today, it also tells us what a great writer Mark Twain was, many thanks for this crystal clear upload Retrospective.
A movie based on one of Mark Twain's satires . Enough said !
I'm interested .
I loved it! 🤍
where does it say Mark Twain
@@AlreadyShort in the opening title credits
Mark Twain, well that's enough for me. Also, Dan Akyord and Eddie Murphy in a slightly different iteration? Trading Places?
Intresting the parallels between this story and the story to the movie, Trading Places.
This movie has so much style. Today the movie makers can't build such feeling to the audience
Today in movies are bad language, swearing ladies, perversion, blood, killing and all ugly side of humans.
Thanks for sharing a great movie as well as a great story based on a Mark Twain short story! Miss the late great Gregory Peck, a rare breed indeed of intelligence, handsome Irish-American good looks and elegance as well as moral bearing! Would that there were more actors and people of his character!

Watch “To kill a mocking bird” to see Peck in a very different, serious and touching role…!
Gregory Peck was truly a good man, not just a persona
