Hello at the beginning of the film they are all adorable, cute, smiling the orchestra of young women with their beautiful evening dresses their hairstyles the singer also it's classic films it's the golden age of cinema, it certainly was a good time obviously in Hollywood the American dream.
@@stephaniebeulens6647 I believe it's Taryn who looks more like him. She has the same nose and bushy eyebrows. Only her eyes are like her mother's, while Romina's eyes are dark like Tyrone's.
Some will say that Romina's face has the same shape of her fathers: oval and less round than Taryn's. And some women trim their eyebrowns .... :) But that's only my opinion ... I wonder if Taryn had not the same family name of Tyrone, if somebody would see the resemblance with her father ? Maybe yes, maybe not. Who'll agree or disagree ? ruclips.net/video/p74fLgYxV1I/видео.html
Sonja's second film, and she was learning fast how to act. It helped that romance with her leading man continued after Sidney Lanfield said 'cut'. She had a natural sense of fun which belied the Scandinavian rep for dourness (Garbo) and her sunny, dimpled cuteness is winning. The little lady's egomania and money-madness are not in evidence. Zanuck gave the inexperienced leads plenty of support from trusty hams such as Raymond Walburn, Sig Ruman and Arthur Treacher, who seems to be imitating Eric Blore more than usual. The story was lightly topical and satirical- the 1930s was THE decade of ill-starred diplomatic confabs- and the result is continuously diverting. Modestly budgeted, it made Fox a handsome profit and confounded skeptics who said Sonja would be a one- hit wonder, not worth the expensive rink built for her.
I use to watch these old movies on tv. They use to be on a channel when you had at the time Basic Cable. Then all those cable channels like HBO started and you had to pay out the nose for them. And they took off all the older movies. You can hardly watch older movies from the 40’s, 50’s or 60’s anymore. It’s too bad they are the greats of Hollywood.
Early cable was great because they showed a lot of black and white movies. Nowadays TCM is the only cable channel I know of that shows movies pre 1970s.
Sonja Henie, three time Olympic skater, dreamy on ice, wonderful music, and cherry on top, Tyrone Power!!! Also, the usual gags, including the Fanny Brice understudy (the orchestra leader). Follow this with 'Second Fiddle', another great Heine & Power movie. Thanks!!!
As a kid in th 50s, I watched I Married Joan w/Joan Davis as a housewife & Jim Baccus (sp?) as her judge husband. Now that I think about it, it was a lot like I Love Lucy. (Joan would get into wacky situations & her long-suffering husband, Brad, helped her out.) I didn't realize she was in movies. I was surprised to see her as th band leader
Joan Davis starred in over 50 films in Hollywood. He comedic timing was unsurpassed. She was pulling funny faces long before Lucille Ball. On May 22, 1961, Davis died of a heart attack at the age of 53 at her home in Palm Springs, California. She was interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery mausoleum in Culver City, California. On October 24, 1963, Davis' mother, daughter Beverly Wills, and two grandchildren were all killed in a house fire in Palm Springs. Her daughter, who was in “Some Like it Hot”, was a chain smoking, fell asleep smoking, and the house caught fire.
Considering how wholesome and sweet this movie is. It is hard to believe the 2 main stars were "" hot and heavy" off camera. But you can feel their chemistry.
“Hot and heavy” is an understatement. Henie had an insatiable sexual appetite. She was 25, Power was 23, she had him exhausted during this film. Her brother wrote about her years later telling about her strong sex drive. Given that and her physical strength with sports, it’s sad she died young....57 from a form of leukaemia.
@@mchapman132 I thought he was older then her, not that it mattered either way. I heard about the book, I would like to read it. A biopic came out a few years ago, entitled White Swan I believe.
In Switzerland the temperature would never be measured as "82"! European countries have the Celsius scale. 30°C is hot. At 82°C everyone would've been cooked like a lobster.
Hollywood tended to stay off modern Russia before 1939. There was unease in front offices that communists were sneaking plugs for the USSR into movies. But two years before 'Ninotchka', 'Thin Ice' offers an oblique, half-admiring, half-fond take on Russian culture if not Bolshevik politics. Realizing that their composers were great tunesmiths, the ice ballet makes use of 'Song of the Tartar Maidens' (soon to become 'Stranger in Paradise') among others, and the huge cast- larger than would have been feasible for precision dancing on dry land- mitigates the satire on folk dancing in Joan Davis's 'Olga from the Volga'. Stalin would have been pleased to see Ty Power disguising himself as a caricature of Uncle Joe's deadly rival, Trotsky!
Lol, yes he did have thin legs. I’m 72, this was my favourite film when I was a kid. I had such a crush on Power. I haven’t seen this movie for almost 60 years. I was a bit disappointed.....Power is still gorgeous.....but looks so very young. It’s weird......he was 23 then.....the same age as my grandson now. Lol....the film doesn’t have the same thrill for me now.
LOL. In the meeting-cute scene Ty wears cut-off pants for skiing which almost seem designed to draw attention to his spindly calves and ankles. When he crashes they look as if they would have snapped like twigs. They resemble an amputee's tin legs. Another mystery is why a central-European prince should sound like an all-American college jock. Power had a Sean Connery attitude to trivia such as accents.
@@esmeephillips5888 - As a kid, I recall asking my British born mother exactly that question…why did Power not have an accent if he was a Baltic prince. She had an answer for everything …..he was educated in England. Lol
Most of the films of the ‘30’s were intended to lift spirits. It was the Depression years and pre war. These light hearted love stories were just to entertain, nothing more. Happy endings in 90 minutes.
@@cw-s3582 Oh! I agree with you. This film like many others are for fun and entertainment. I’m just not particularly in favour of this one. Have you read the biography of Sonja Henie, you might be surprised.
Thank you for a nice film and a wonderful opportunity to see young and handsome Tyrone.
Wonderful feel good type movie. Thanks for sharing. I love these type movies. I love Tyrone Power.
What a dreamy movie 😺
This is my first S. Henie movie. Although I have heard about her forever. I did not know she came from wealth.
❤CUTE & LOVELY♥️
😮T Y very much...

His daughter Romina looks just like him ...

Angelo, he's been dead for over 60 years now!
If he still was alive today he would be way over 100 years old nowadays...

I guess the attraction transcends generation and time. Young men still find Marilyn Monroe hot, and she has been dead for decades as well.
How wonderful

I had no idea ginger beer was popular in the 30's.

Great and simple movie, Tyrone Power act very well in this type of films. After he will demostrated all his value in films like Nightmare Alley.
César Augusto: I'm completely agree with you! He was a talented, versatile and subtle actor, both on the screen and on the stage! Cheers!

When commercial TV began in Great Britain, Lucy was one of the first week's highlights. The BBC bought 'I Married Joan' specifically to counter it.
Sonja fell madly in love with Ty but so did every actress in Hollywood
And actors.
I've noted previously that TP wasn't exactly cut out for comedy. Lost the will to live in the Olga Volga number. But enjoyed the skating.

When she spinning at the end.. that's wonderful skill but made me dizzy 😅
