Marion Scott, honorably discharged WW II soldier, in "civies" and carrying a suitcase containing his uniform and medals, is hitch-hiking to the small hometown of a buddy killed overseas, intending to make it his home. En-route, he encounters wealthy society girl Wilhelmina Hammond, who is running away from her stuffed-shirt fiancée, Alvin Bailey and has taken his car without permission. Marion and Wilhelmina are bickering over a blow-out and an empty gas tank when the local cops appear and haul them off to jail on a car-theft charge. Wilhelmina establishes her identity and is released and, intrigued by Marion whom she suspects is a deserter, arranges his release also. She takes him to the Hammond estate and tells Marion, who does not know her true identity, she is Mrs. Hammond's secretary. Wilhelmina has no keys to the home and they are arrested again when they are caught crawling into the house through a window. This time reporters and photographers discover her identity and plaster the papers with a story of an heiress running out on her rich fiancée to take up with an unknown stranger. Over the objections of the Hammond caretaker, Wiggins, she hires Marion as a chauffeur and stands her ground when her irate mother and angry fiancée rush home from New York with their entourage, including: Aunt Harriet, an old maid who had an unfortunate love affair during WW I; Patricia, "Willie's" young and mischievous sister; Camille, the family dressmaker, and Champ, Alvin's physical instructor. It becomes a battle of wills as Mrs. Hammond and Alvin are determined to break up a romance that doesn't exist, as "Willie" and Marion are constantly bickering, and Aunt Harriet who is all for the pair getting together.

Thank you for the upload.... also for not bombarding us with disruptive ad's throughout the movie....(like channel Pizza Flix does).... I just subscribed...👍 love your playlists as well...💙 These movies are timeless treasurs... I have been binge watching...
I love these ole movies, thank you!

Great movie...loved it!! No obscene or curse words!! Funny...light...entertaining! Love the vintage old cars!! No nudity or filth..just pure entertainment!!
And no annoying laugh track
I love the old, huge, metal cars.
Delightful! When you watch something as fun as this, it becomes disgustingly clear that "Hollywood" is over.
Don’t forget music and journalism
Hollywood went it's own way once the production codes were lifted
Hollywood is only now about the glorification of paedophiles and perverts
I must have watched this 6 or 7 times already and I find something new in it to laugh about , it's just a great play. Real wit and humor is definitely missing from the entertainment today.
1:09:08 Priceless!
"Slide over, I'll drive," means an old-school, full-length seat, which I wish was still an option.
@Dr Evil Yes, Really.
used to be you could drive with one hand on the wheel and the other, , , it made cruising very special.
Yes, weren't they great?
Bench seat
Me too. I hate the crappy seats forced upon consumers . The PC "Save the Whales" EPA bureaucrats are like Stalinists.
I still find it a little ego bruising that she didn't make up her mind till he showed up with an entire brass band and a hero's parade and the mayor's blessing before she decided she was willing to take the chance.
I'm doing that right now
@@rodqueen2910 Choosing whom to marry? yikes! good luck!
In the beginning of the flick was charming and witty... Over all I love it. Thanks for the upload... Cant go wrong with black and white classical movie...TY, once again.
A kleptomaniac with good taste - love it. Thank you for this upload, haven't laughed so much in yonks. Movies of the 30s and 40s were great especially if they featured Rosalind Russell, whose machine-gun delivery still amazes me. Cheers.
Great movie, enjoyed it very much, thanks for sharing! !!!
I saw this months ago but it's so cute I'm seeing if again. Ya gotta love their names, willie and marion.
It is a corny yet pleasant movie. The little girl Patricia played a great part. Thanks for posting.
Corny but fun.....I could live in a movie like this.
Thank you for playing this movie. Very clean and cute. So much better than what they are producing these days.
Only in the movies, Life really isn’t so easy when you walk alone, cute story….
Charming, simply charming!
Karl Hajos was nominated for an Oscar for musical scoring for this movie.
Alvin speaks just like Randolph Scott.

Got woken in mid night;(
This came in handy;) ...thanx♡
Love the timeless classic time frame.
l love trying to figure out who are the stand out actresses / actors are in their stories roles. [ Parts/ ...role ]
My life is in the right place mindfully enough with present & past relaxed deeply into a much more simpler concentration level viewing the thoughts eased back positively much more engaging to go at relaxing over the everyday ruun through's life brings out of us.
l love the lady's story lines and the appeal that resonates off the stage reality, it's a perfect blend of harmony , the standing music Picess arranged fills the airaround the space it fills .
Tank You staying right there in the film's grove thanks & happy
Memorial
Have you ever seen Christmas Holiday? great movie. Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly. Its a much darker character he plays. Compared to what i see him do usually. Boy that Deanna Durbin shes something i think.
Surprised there is no scene with the family of his dead army buddy. I guess that would put too much drama into this comedy.
Such fun... thanks for sharing
Absolutely a gem.
So what does the lady call the little girl at the end of the film? It looks like it was cut out. Curious!
Bitch! Read her lips. Censors were no one to play around with back then. They could shut a movie down in a heartbeat! Lost revenue $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
She called her a brat
My female neighbor just called me because her Jeep rolled off the jack when she went to install the spare. How is it, having never seen this movie, it would open with a lady having problems with a car rolling off a jack? How? So bizarre...
In other news, I remember those buggers. Highly dangerous if the vehicle isn't level and chock blocks aren't used. A friend of mine still has one, but unfortunately, no cool old car to use it on.
Great Movie GREATEST GENERATION
Has a touch of Preston Sturges about it.
FYI, "fiancé" is the spelling for a male and "fiancée" is for a female. In other words, the wrong spelling is used in the description.
Dave O'Brien was best known in the Joe Doakes comedy short subjects.
Indeed and forsooth! You can bet your bottom dollar.
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago.
Your wrong Dave O'Brien didn't play Joe McDoakes he played Pete Smith in MGM short subject pictures as Pete Smith the Nitwit.
Sorry, "Joe Dokes" was played by George O'Hanlon
Better known as "George Jetson"
@@johnnyray1121 Joe Dokes was actor and voice over George O'Hanlon... Or better known as the voice of "George Jetson"
argh! Wiggins, Wiggins where arrrre you? Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone tried very hard to repeat the charm of "Bringing Up Baby."
Wonderful, sweet, family movie!
Did you see that Letter Bug just throw that bottle down right on the ground after he poured the gas in
I couldn't believe he did that most bottles would have a deposit on it.
This movie reminds me so much of "What's Up Doc" with Barbra Streisand.
2:22 What's Keith Richards doing in this movie, lol
What's she driving at the beginning of the film? A 1942 something? No running boards. She's a trim craft!
Her or the car?
Buick.
Made me smile.
Wonderful!!!
Dick Elliot, who played the mayor, played the mayor of another famous town, Mayberry.
Boy, cops sure were different in those days!!!!
Kay Aldridge was very alluring in this.
Good movie!
" Its just that trace of the Human race that makes us all look familiar "
Nice movie. film noir. are good.
It really is too cute, don't miss it.
I enjoy Walter Catlett, Wiggins. Nice story.
I was incontinent for years and often had to walk alone...
Well, that all Depends 🙂
real nice
Cute movie
At the very end after the little girl called the older woman corny the woman called her something back but it looks like they removed it. Any idea what it was?
What a fun movie from good ol; PRC. Isn't that what movies are supposed to be? Fun. FIlled with a lot of the usual suspects, Isobel Randolph, Dick Elliot, Walter Catlett and Guinn (Big Boy) Williams. Dave O'Brien and Kay Alderidge make a beautiful couple and throw out their lines like champs. Smith Ballew, away from Old Paint makes a great stuffy villain. After calling Marion Scott Cpl thru the whole movie PRC lists him as Pvt in the credits PRC, always pays attention to details!
Prince, princess and pumpkin coach. Predictable yet acceptably satisfying. Sure the acting was, at times, a bit stiff and choppy; but sentiment and romance carried the day. Hooray for 1945 America! That dream will never come again, although backward looking politicians would have you believe otherwise. Nope, everybody has to grow up one day. But never mind, this film was fun! An escape from witnessing the powerful hegemony that looms over middle-class culture today.

Academy award for Best Music...(original score)
Does anyone know what Mrs. Hammond said to Patricia to shut her up at the end of the movie ? Mrs. Hammond's comment is missing due to a film defect.
Kay Aldridge is a redhead.
👍👍😃.
O alright I don't want to get involved with twins lol
cute and "corny"
👍👏👏...✌️💖🥂
1:10:01 -- Oh no! The most important line in the movie got blipped over.
Does anyone know what the mother said to the sassy young girl that made her cry?
@Dauðr Maðrinn Running with that, I did a little poking around (online, I mean--not ...) and found out that "pudenda muliebrum" is Latin, literally meaning "woman's thing to be ashamed of."
Yikes.
Hmmm, when she found out his status, she was all in. Hussy.
Fear of the Dark...
Wow 100% several relationships over the years. Why do I attract so many BPD folk?
Half your movies are missing
yea was corny.... but is ok.
A I worked for a living he says as what classic the lines you're already guess
compared to the trash called movies of today, this is great
William Bake
compared to the trash of some so called movies of yesterday, this is good enough.
You better believe it!
Speaking of trash, he just chucks the empty bottle onto the roadside
@@johnstatser7088 To what movies of 'yesterday' that were 'trash' are you referring?
Urban renewal destroyed catholic political power. The Cia destroyed all foreign democracy.
Nowadays I always watch this type movies because I feel so happy because no hart beating no harm no vulgar
you said it all
I enjoyed this comedy very much. The conversation was delightful. Many thanks.
David O'Brien was the star of "Reefer Madness". One puff of the "hell weed" and he turned into a homicidal maniac!
Orsen Welles Oh, good grief, I wish I had known. I will stop immediately if not sooner. Hey, a good one, Mr. W. (loved ya in Citizen Kane). Cheers.
"it's not worth it, just to feel dizzy."
One of Christy Cabanne's last films. Nice to see Dave O'Brien starring in a feature. I enjoy his funny work in shorts. Thanks for posting these old films.
Thank you for that... Had no idea
Surprisingly bright and funny film! The first 35 minutes are the best as leads Dave O'Brien and Kay Aldridge banter their way to the middle of the film. Things slow up a bit when they are not both ion screen together, but a band of Hollywood characters pick up some of the slack.
This film is listed as a "comedy/drama" above, but the only drama is comedic. The story is very light. Lots of bounce as they continue their road trip.
Worth watching!
She's gorgeous.
I need a good laugh. I haven’t laughed for a year. Life has never been so stressful. COVID is killing us in many ways.
Maybe just don’t participate in the coved.
@Sam Ling Give us a break.
It's done wonders for China's economy.
...."well, he's not bad, considering how empty the roads are" - what a great line delivered by the precocious lil' sister Patricia @ 39:15. Wonderful dialogue and story, I've watched this movie 3X now and I'm sure there are a few more go-rounds yet to come. Thanks for the upload 💖 🇨🇦
Little Patricia stole almost every scene she was in. Great job.
1066 Wiliam the Conqueror Battle of Hastings I remember it well..
Ah yes, they were trying to remember the license plate number.
Cute. The dialog is lively and the players pull it off crisply and gamely. Lots of familiar actors. Thanks.
Hoo-rah!!!
Great movie! The comedy is not dated. Thanks for the upload :D
The perfect kind of corney.... loved it.
Tawnya Schultzspelled>>> corny ok?
You're so corney!
So what does the mother call her young daughter at the end of the movie cause it was cut out. I enjoyed the movie except for a few cut outs here n' there.
Bitch!
She called her a brat.
What a wonderful movie!
Life was so simple then, in so many ways.
Yes, I agree from current perspective but back then we didnt think so
Every era has it's challenges. You don't have the luxury of hindsight. 😌
How many? I need a number.
@@charlesboling9234 We none of us really appreciate what we have. That’s where all the adages come from like “you don’t miss the water till the well runs dry“ or “too soon old and too late smart“.
Right. You knew who you were and where you were going (more of less!).
Fun movie. I was born in 1953 and not familiar with the names of any of the actors. I see it was made in 1945 the last year of World War Two. I counted back to how old my mom and dad were when this movie was made. My Mom was starting high school and my Dad was in the Army Air Corps.
1951...old man in the navy... Mom in high school... Like you...
I'm sure you miss them.... I sure do
interesting war era film and perspective about the war. decent acting and writing. well worth seeing and good introduction to O'Brien and Scott who are not particularly well known now.
Observation: Stop the picture at 10:01...This actor looks very similar to a young Jack Benny. Just saying.
😂
This film really makes you think of how life used to be in simpler times. I would love to just spend an entire day in the world like this one when time used to be. 🙂
That is what the Kingdom of God will be like for all eternity. Do you have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Big 10/4 on that one! Cindy
@@susansackrison3139 Religion is the root of all evil, and the cause of almost all wars. The birth of Christ is a fairy tale and Christianity is all based on a myth.
@@pandaman8946 Tell it to Satan when you get tossed in with him. Idiots that believe nothing will believe anything.
@@NemoBlank I respect your beliefs but the fact is religion is all one big cartoon designed by man to control them. Satan is no more real than the other myths created by all religions. Know this, I am not without beliefs. In fact, I believe there once was a guy known as Jesus Christ whose teachings were mostly quite wonderful. But today’s so called Christians have warped those teachings and they say things like President Joseph Biden is the devil when in actuality it’s their leader Trump who behaves like what a devil may behave, and they follow this evil man in the name of Christ. Now, imagine all the people living life in peace. As long as there is organized religion peace will never be possible on planet Earth.
wonderful movie.. thanks for sharing.. the fun..
very entertaining. somebody should come along and restore this film.
A lot of famous character actors in this movie.
I loved all those wonderful character actors. So wonderful to enjoy them again!. Thanks!❤️
Just a swell movie and funny too ! 👏🏾 Thanks Timeless 🤗 🙋🏽
looks like a rushed movie made after VE day...Aug of '45 .....America turning a page
The thing about some of these poverty row B-pictures is many of them are pretty good, oh they need a couple of script re-writes but they are quite entertaining, and most of them are public domain and never air on TCM which ought to focus on some of them. Dave O'Brien who we all remember from Reefer Madness and the Pete Smith shorts is quite good here as the male romantic lead. I have a new appreciation for him now as an actor. Kay Aldridge was the most photographed woman in the 30's, and was under contract to 20th. She retired in 1945 and passed away in 1977, a Google search will bring up a lot about her. Interesting later life she had in Maine. Smith Ballew was a well known big band leader in the 30's as well as an actor. Vivian Oakland who appeared with Laurel and Hardy is in the film as is the great Walter Catlett. I had fun with this film thanks to public domain, RUclips and people who collect and post them. Otherwise they would remain buried and lost.
D Raff O'Brien also acted in many East Side Kids films.
D Raff we don't even get TCM in Australia any more, and when we did the list of movies was so short we saw the same shows repeated every month. Thank goodness for these on you tube
D Raff...."poverty row".... those B-pictures of the 40s are now AAA+ films if compared to the present day trash produced in Hollywood....the talent should always be superior to the cash profit. In the last 30 years there are very-very few good movies. Hollywood might indoctrinate and try to make people think the recent crap is good....but any of us with half a brain know better. Hollywood tries to convince you a movie is great by its' profits....there are a lot of big money makers out there that are horrible movies. Hard to explain to anyone that never experienced life in the 40s-60s.
@ D Raff @ Nancy Clark - Agreed! One reason we held onto cable TV was for TCM. We finally dropped cable 2 years ago, and we really haven't missed it. TCM has switched its focus to market more towards the under-50 crowd, so these great B-pics and even some great A-films from the '30s and '40s are being ignored, while some of the more mundane '60s and '70s films are receiving more airtime. Preserving these vintage films doesn't mean simply restoring them and locking them in a safe, but showing them so that more and more people will remember and want to return to them. So thankful for RUclipsrs who share these public domain films!
D Raff Love trivia, thanks for sharing. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV January 01, 2019
Dave O'Brien who played the soldier also played the Nitwit in MGM short subject pictures as Pete Smith.
He sure went through a lot of crazy things as Pete Smith-- what a great stuntman!! I always wondered what his voice would sound like if I ever heard it. To my ear, he had a pleasant one!
Elmo Lincoln, the man that plays the turnkey, is the first to have played a movie role of Tarzan, in “Tarzan of the Apes,” 1918.
Nice feel-good patriotic movie. Thanks TCM
Enjoyable movie,,,,can you get
Mr.blandings builds his dream house
"Columbia the Gem of the Ocean" never sung anymore and hardly anyone alive remembers it. It's the best.
Some of us remember!!!!
Hummed in "Made for Each Other."
Marion was the actual name of 'John Wayne'.
Put it in park and set the hand brake. Had she done that, this movie would have lasted 1 minute.
The acting is a bit stiff, but it's unusual in capturing the commonsense humour of its time. That no Big Names star in it, is a plus for me. That it doesn't follow Hollywood's dominant marketing scheme, makes it better, funnier, truer to the times it was made.
Good movie i enjoyed very much thank you TCM.
She retired in the year of this film !..With those looks at the prime of her life ?
Unlike in this movie she married the wealthy tycoon who didn't want her to keep acting. What a shame!
