Imagine going to the cinema with no idea of who Ingrid Bergman was and seeing her for the first time. She’s remarkably different from other Hollywood leading ladies of the time - natural, demure, pure, fresh faced, absolutely ravishing with natural emotions and intense still waters. The first scene where they play together is totally compelling, in those days you almost never saw any actor’s fingers on the piano keys and she mastered synching to a virtuosic track. Of course, she had played this role before in the Swedish original. A brilliant call by Selznick to remake it in English so a wider audience could fall in love with Miss Bergman, and they did for over 40 years.
The little girl's beauty match the one of Ingrid Bergman. She is Ann Todd. Child star from 1939. Born 1931. She played in 40 movies. It's so refreshing that after she left Hollywood in 1950 she married in 1951 Robert Basard a music professor and they lived happily till his death in 1993. They had son and daughter and three grandchildren. Ann Todd past away 7 Feb 2020 age 88 of complication of dementia.
Meliapan, thanks for the Ann Todd info! Her speaking style and ringlets reminded me of Shirley ? also a child star but of a different time, of course. Beautiful little girl. And her fuzzy Jack Russell pooch was also adorable! Now I'll watch the film and get the tissues ready...😣
I had just seen Brief Encounter with Trevor Howard yesterday. The cast was excellent and apparently it is seen as the second greatest British film. In many aspects the story is similar to Intermezzo and it also has a very English artist, Leslie Howard. I felt the pain in that one, but I will always love Intermezzo a hundred times better. It touches me even more deeply. There are very few actors or singers I would call artist no matter how wonderful or accomplished they are. Leslie Howard is one of them for me. Thank you for uploading this eternal beauty of love, sin and forgiveness. As much as I love Casablanca and Bogey I love this one more. I believe, it is unworthily forgotten. and yet, it is a masterpiece.
This was the most wonderful movie . Filled with Love ,Hope ,Life and Sadness. A great movie, great acting on all parts. Where did the making of these movies disappear to? We need more story’s of this kind . Thank you.💗❤️❤️
The great minds has long gone to rest. Be it the actors or the minds behind the casting. The way of life has also changed hence what we see today is what currently exists. Movies and the likes are just replications of what is happening in the moments of creation.
The story and scenario were originally from a Swedish film of the same title. A big hit over here but it also helped propel Ingrid Bergman to Hollywood. In her memoir book (highly recommended!) she recalled her encounter with Selznick's talent scout Kay Brown who had seen the original film at a New York theatre and recommended both the movie and the girl to her boss. A few months later, Brown flew over to check Ingrid out in Stockholm and try to recruit her for Hollywood. Brown immediately liked the robust blonde lady and her newly-wed husband, and the couple decided to relocate to America. Ingrid was both intelligent and a very courageous woman - she knew she wanted to influence what kind of roles she was going to play, and at several points took great risks with her career and sometimes paid a high price (most infamously when she left the US to live and work with Roberto Rossellini, of course, a move that caused her to be denounced as a traitor and an immoral woman by the US media). She remains an icon around the world and also in her homeland of Sweden. :)
Thank you for sharing this great classic , utube is removing more and more every year ! And charging , people just can’t afford to rent movies with the high prices of everything!so I appreciate your kindness 😊
@@bethr8756 Adultery is not beautiful, it is true. But, he was not a monster, just weak. It is awful that he walked out on his family. The whole thing was terrible, but passion is like that. Unless, you stop right at the beginning, you are lost and have no strength to stop anymore. When they walked to the bridge the first time, that was the point they should have run to different directions. They didn't and there was no stopping from there on. What was most tragic, is that it was a happy family and he did love his wife. Sometimes things happen and people are not prepared to handle these things. It should be taught in every family how to deal with temptations in adult life. I strongly believe only those who are determined and prepared can resist temptations. When they know before anything has ever happened what they are going to do and they do it. Once a long time happily married man said in a program where they asked him about his secret how to stay loyal and faithful to his wife and keep the marriage happy: He said have your running shoes always in sight and when you are tempted, run, run as fast as you can. Don't think, do not stop, run. He was right of course. People should just do that. Before the bond develops. It always needs some time, even if it presents itself suddenly. It can still be pushed away, but once the two people spend some time together it quickly becomes quicksand.
YES indeed about a wife still in love with her husband and he finally remembering to love her again and his family and let go of his fling...his intermezzo. True love of a great woman who forgave her cruel husband who finally did wake up to his folly with the help of his lovely mistress. The enduring true love of a husband and a wife.
Una película ejemplar. No se debe pretender ser "feliz" destruyendo la felicidad de otros. Es un tema muy actual. El consejo sabio, la decisión sensata ayudaron al desenlace. Bravo por los valientes; pena por los egoístas que viven sin principios ni convicciones. Que viva la familia. An exemplary film. You should not pretend to be "happy" by destroying the happiness of others. It is a very current topic. The wise advice, the sensible decision helped the outcome. Bravo for the brave; pity for the selfish who live without principles or convictions. Long live the family.
This movie is what I was looking for to watch. It touched me deeply. Life presents us with difficult choices; honor responsibilities or satisfy our deep love for someone. I felt sympathetic and empathized with the wife, husband and the lover (Ingrid Bergman). There are no winners in this scenario. Sacrifice only, and hold the family values where there is so much satisfaction and deep affection to one another. I believe that was the right choice; to return to his family in spite of the immense hurt and loss of their strong love to each other. Parents are not Gods. They are humans. They make mistakes and sometimes horrible mistakes. The scene between father and son was wonderful. The father needed his son to forgive to be whole. Thank you for the movie.
I love this movie. I haven’t seen it for a while so it was lovely to watch it again. This movie was the bargaining chip David Selznick used with Leslie Howard to cajole him into playing Ashley Wilkes in “Gone With The Wind”. He promised Mr. Howard that he could be the associate producer of the film.
Overshadowed by Bergman are Edna Best and Howard. The scene where the wife character talking to her strayed husband about a vacation "together" was touching. Howard did very well too, like at the ending, moments before leaving Home, then turning back looking at his forgiving wife. Thank you Selznick for such great scenes!
Leslie Howard is not one that can be overshadowed by anyone at all! How could you say that?! No one has ever done that! He is one of the greatest artists of all time and this film would have been less than half if anything at all without him. It is him I watch it for and not Bergman. She does very well, but ..well, let me just not say anything anymore. I suppose I may not be just to her. But I agree that the wife Edna and the daughter Ann Todd were brilliant too.
He loved Music more than his family...children and his wife...but his wife forgave him for the sake of their children. Leo Tolstoy said you can forgive betrayal but you would never embrace or hug the betrayer. Betrayal is like when you have your hands cut. You can forgive but you can not hug...
Lev Tolstoi is not a best example to charge adultery. He had forcedly sex with his wife, who just delivered and had breast inflammation. In surrounding villages of the homestead, many female serfs were impregnated/raped by him
What a great suprise the first time I see Leslie Howard if not in >Gone with the wind< it is here in my hometown Stockholm --- all my love from Sweden ❤❤❤
Beginning the wonderful n illustrious career of Swedish talented actress Ingrid Bergman.She made her presence in great movies like Spellbound n all time great Casablanca n Gaslight.
attachments, heartbreak is coming from the Ego. If one stays in a relationship for the sake of the other only, that equally causes suffering to that person who who stays.
@@carollund8251 Yes. Because that NEVER happens. Because children never recover from divorce and never forgive the parents that separated. Because children never grow up and leave their parents to have lives of their own.
@@c.a.savage5689 Very cute sarcasm dearest but I'm not talking about separation. This man left his family, literally abandoned them and only came back because his lover went away. That is an entirely different thing. If you think children ever recover from abandonment you are delusional. And I won't even attempt to explain the stupidity of comparing such a situation to grown children eventually leaving the nest.
È bellissimo vedere Lesley Howard e sentirne la bella voce dai toni caldi ,più profondi che nel doppiaggio in italiano . Non l'avevo mai sentita prima . Un attore che ricordo per le Sue interpretazioni di successo e di talento d'attore di grande stile . Di Ingrid Bergman non aggiungerò molto ai commenti che la lodano e ricordano in tutti i suoi bellissimi film da Lei interpretati nel lungo arco della vita d'artista . Mi piacciono molto negli indimenticabili film di Hitchcock in bianco e nero .Qui è giovane e ingenua in un film romantico e struggente . Fa piacere vedere questi film.
Poor Leslie Howard. Died in WW2 in 1943, when the German Luftwaffe shot down a passenger Dutch KLM plane he was travelling in. The area through which he was flying was a highly dangerous place. I think he was flying from Lisbon to Bristol, UK. Ended up in the Bay Of Biscayne. Apparently the German fighter planes on Patrol that day did not get the information about the plane and just assumed it was an enemy plane. It had actually survived being attacked by the Germans before. Despite painted in camouflage. There was talk that it was shot down because it assumed Winston Churchill was onboard returning from the famous Casablanca Conference. Seems after Leslie Howard’s death all BOAC commercial flights stopped in that region and only done carefully at night and re-routed. WW2 was such a dangerous time for everyone it seems. Even entertainers like Leslie.
I didn't expect to cry at the end and I did. Love brought him home and lust took him away and in the end he found his way. Excellent movie. Leslie Howard is such a gifted actor.
Un fulm classico e romantico con una musica struggente che lo accompagna per tutto il corso del film ,indimenticabile . Si può gustare tornando indietro in quel tempo capendone il modo di sentire e i toni e i modi diversi più sottintesi e delicati in cui ogni passione ,ogni rimorso si sfuma in una discrezione del cuore e dell'anima che non attenua ma aumenta la profondità e l 'intensità dei sentimenti .😊
I don't really have a high opinion of this movie, but I will watch anything with Ingrid Bergman in it. She was such a talented and beautiful actress. RIP.
@@42kellys I disagree that it is a great film, so our tastes must be quite different. My idea of great films are Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Little Foxes, The Thin Man, The Magnificent Ambersons, Ben Hur, To Have and Have Not, several Hitchcock films, including Rebecca, North by Northwest, Notorious, Vertigo. These are only a few of the films that I find great, but I think there are many more that are much better than Intermezzo. That said, I am glad that you enjoy Intermezzo, and I certainly love seeing a young Ingrid Bergman turning in such a fine performance in it.
@@Bronte55 Well, several films you listed are great in my opinion too bu that does not take away greatness from this underestimated little gem of a film. However, opinions vary we are all different with different tastes and ideas on what is truly great or not. I measure a lot of them by tte impact they have on me. If no impact I would not call them great. Also, those films that make me think about them sometimes even for days or a week I call great even if it was distasteful watching them, e.g. Blade Runner 1-2. Mind you, 2 was not as 1 for me. I found that one terrifying and tormenting and showing a bleak vision of the future, now we are kinda live that future in many aspects. Naturally, I was prepared for 2 unlike for part one.
@@42kellys Yes, you stated the reason why Intermezzo is not great in my opinion. I have seen it three times over the course of many years. Each time, I have completely forgotten the content of the movie. Just now, I had to skim through parts of it to remind myself of it... and only 9 months after having last seen it. It is a melodrama that provokes no thought for me, except to briefly question that the infatuated young woman shows more level-headedness than the infatuated older man. I don't doubt that it inspires more thought for others, and that is just fine with me. Intermezzo just isn't my cup of tea.
What a wonderful film of sadness and happiness. Yet tinged with sadness for his family. This is life. We can all fit into this story at some scene. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ingrid was a great from the beginning, and Howard no doubt helped her feel at ease in this movie (people say he was very patient and generous with other actors). I was surprised to see Ann Todd play Anne Marie- she was in many British films later as a Blonde who usually had only one expression on her face=dreary. She married a big shot, though, so her 'acting ability' didn't keep her out of films for a while. TY for the post.
Leslie Howard was associate producer because he made a deal with David O. Selznick. If he could produce a film, he'd perform in Selznick's biggest project at the time, "Gone with the Wind" with Howard as Ashley Wilkes.
Wonderful movie. I think David Selznick promised Leslie Howard he could be the executive director for this film if he agreed to portray Ashley Wilkes in “Gone With The Wind”.
Thank you for the video it was very good story and I must have seen it when I was a little girl 1939 I was 5 years old and my mother and father always took me to the movies I must have seen it again when I grew up I don't remember it too well brings back a few memories . I like these kind of movies and as I got older I like western movies now too and mystery.🤩🤩
I remember Dad had bought this movie on a 1+1 offer. The other one was about a man leaving the monastary, falling in love with a woman, but finally goes back. Both movie about a man straying away but eventually returning
@@anuferns WoW! I just reviewed all her films to find it by the name but I passed it, I did not think that Garden of Allah was that one. I am going to look at it again.
Not at all. Ingrid Bergman received some bad publicity and her career suffered for a time because she left her husband for Roberto Rosselini an Italian Movie Director but that didn't happen until 1950. However her career rebounded after a few years with several more successful movies.
Ingrid s. Beautiful eyes had such a luminous quality coupled with her sensuous mouth was so enchanting she' could speak with those eyes more than any words can convey 🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎵🎶🎻🎹🎻🎹
Howard always played the parts that showed him on the edge of the cliff between a two timer and a loyal husband .Remember Gone with the Wind? Hmm... Hey whats that about?
Leonard Cohen wrote "the cracks let in light come in." Every life has cracks. People are weak, fall down, make mistakes. As long as there is love, there is hope, forgiveness and redemption.
I’m so surprised that Leslie Howard’s character is such a morally bankrupt man. Abandoning his family. We didn’t see him phoning his daughter on her birthday, only him mentioning it.
Oh dear, if he was as highly principled as you would like, there wouldn't be a movie in the first place!! He isn't the first self-involved artist type (not unusual) to fall head over heels for an attractive, talented artist who worshipped him from afar. It's 1939, making telephone calls across the continent could take hours or days. Also, that would just serve to show his conflicted feelings and guilt. We already know about that.
I don't call this a love story, I call it the story of a despicably selfish man who sacrifices his entire families happiness, including his child's, for his own greedy, arrogant belief in his entitlement. Are we supposed to call it love because it includes the beautiful Ingrid Bergman. I'd like to see a remake from the daughter's perspective where she ends up being a sad, mistrusting woman who never finds love because of her father's betrayal of his family responsibilities, that would be truthful.
This is the first movie I’ve seen Leslie Howard in other than Gone with the Wind. His performance in Gone with the Wind was ok but not to the standard that this one was. I understand that he preferred to act on stage rather than movies so then it’s very understandable that his heart wasn’t in motion pictures. It would’ve been great to see if him act on stage doing what he truly loved doing.
@@Vicki1951 you should also see him in The Petrified Forest with Bette Davis I think it's here on youtube. Also, I am presume you know that he disappeared (missing in action) during WWII that's why we never saw very much else of him... I think he was not right for GWTW. a southerner with a british accent? but then again, he gave an air of aristocracy to the part so maybe it wasn't so bad.....
@@alpha-omega2362 I knew that he died shortly after GWTW but not read why. I was planning on doing a research regarding him. I didn’t think he played the character of Ashley as well as I had imagined him when I had read the book so many many years ago. It seemed to me that he was still play acting on the stage but since I’ve never seen a professional Broadway play or any other, I am not qualified to be a critic. Thank you for the information. I have more movies to watch and more information to locate. 😊
I read that he died during World War II working as an agent for (I think British) carrying secret papers. Somehow, the Nazis found out and his plane was shot down.
@@elizabethchild1620 yes, I am sorry , my description of his death was somewhat superficial... apparently there are various theories , but I guess what I really meant to say is that his body was never recovered and thus technically he "disappeared" .. (or at least that is my understanding..)
The ending part with his son is to me the best part because I had forgiven my father for his marital indescretions and loved him until his tragic death in a plane wreck. Infidelity is a forgivable sin.
Very good movie though All the actors were good I just can't picture Leslie Howard as a romantic interest the little actress that played his daughter in the movie was so cute and so enchanting almost outdoing Ingrid Bergman while I enjoyed the movie adultery causes a lot of pain not only to the wronged spouse but also the children
51:28 what a hypocrite. He left his family. Having an affair. Doesn't want to sign the divorce paper. Worried that his wife might want to marry another man. Ridiculous POS.
@@carollund8251 So l guess this is where the holier-than-thou society meets. If your takeaway from the movie is as simplistic as that, you've missed alot.
I can hear the tut-tut-tuting from here. The lack of humanity for real people, in the throes of real emotions is depressing. Let's stone the adulterers.
@@c.a.savage5689 Sounds like an adulterer here is getting mighty defensive. And yes, the ending is as simplistic as that. The wife forgives him..as all good wives should do apparently.
First of all - He Should Have never asked her out , after the concert was over ! She should never had excepted it ! Both did something wrong, She knew very well that he is a married man, Wrong for both of them !!!!

Radiance. Pure radiance.
She was in the Swedish version of this movie but this is officially her debut Hollywood film
The only actress I like is Ingrid Bergman
What a debut! Love INGRID !!
She is over rated.
The little girl's beauty match the one of Ingrid Bergman. She is Ann Todd. Child star from 1939. Born 1931.
She played in 40 movies.
It's so refreshing that after she left Hollywood in 1950 she married in 1951 Robert Basard a music professor and they
lived happily till his death in 1993. They had son and daughter and three grandchildren.
Ann Todd past away 7 Feb 2020 age 88 of complication of dementia.
Thank you for this. Very sad.
Meliapan, thanks for the Ann Todd info! Her speaking style and ringlets reminded me of Shirley ? also a child star but of a different time, of course.
Beautiful little girl. And her fuzzy Jack Russell pooch was also adorable! Now I'll watch the film and get the tissues ready...😣
@@melianna999 YES! Thanks, i had a brain fart, could Not remember it!
@@aileen694 She was a little gem in Hollywood
Anne Todd is brilliant in David Lean's masterpiece "Madeleine"
Leslie Howard one of the main characters in the film "Gone With The Wind". He's an excellent actor.
@honestovillareal2549: Yes, he’s a wonderful actor and a very underrated one, too. I’ve made it a point to watch many of his films.
Yes, also the same type of character! I wonder, did he ever play anything else, like a cowboy, a policeman, a charcoal miner, a marine...? 🤔
Of course he played an excellent character in Of human bondage with Betty Davis, I love that it's free on UA-cam.
What a wonderful movie....there goes the winter now, broken, rushing to the sea...smiling with melancholy
I wish people talked like that today
That is poetry!
LOVED Leslie Howard from GWTW.
So, gentle and lovely were people then.....well dressed and spoken....soft music....so enchanting.... Love from India.
These were rich people who rarely had to work. They could afford to be kind.
Playing the violin is hard work. Kindness is not a product of wealth.

Un attore che ricordo per le Sue interpretazioni di successo e di talento d'attore di grande stile . Di Ingrid Bergman non aggiungerò molto ai commenti che la lodano e ricordano in tutti i suoi bellissimi film da Lei interpretati nel lungo arco della vita d'artista . Mi piacciono molto negli indimenticabili film di Hitchcock in bianco e nero .Qui è giovane e ingenua in un film romantico e struggente . Fa piacere vedere questi film.
Grazie per la notifica gentile e l'approvazione.
É vero Lesle Howard aveva una voce speciale, une deve sentirne.
Poor Leslie Howard. Died in WW2 in 1943, when the German Luftwaffe shot down a passenger Dutch KLM plane he was travelling in. The area through which he was flying was a highly dangerous place. I think he was flying from Lisbon to Bristol, UK. Ended up in the Bay Of Biscayne. Apparently the German fighter planes on Patrol that day did not get the information about the plane and just assumed it was an enemy plane. It had actually survived being attacked by the Germans before. Despite painted in camouflage. There was talk that it was shot down because it assumed Winston Churchill was onboard returning from the famous Casablanca Conference. Seems after Leslie Howard’s death all BOAC commercial flights stopped in that region and only done carefully at night and re-routed. WW2 was such a dangerous time for everyone it seems. Even entertainers like Leslie.
Thank you again, Retrospective.
Beautiful beautiful.
I didn't expect to cry at the end and I did. Love brought him home and lust took him away and in the end he found his way. Excellent movie. Leslie Howard is such a gifted actor.
Un fulm classico e romantico con una musica struggente che lo accompagna per tutto il corso del film ,indimenticabile . Si può gustare tornando indietro in quel tempo capendone il modo di sentire e i toni e i modi diversi più sottintesi e delicati in cui ogni passione ,ogni rimorso si sfuma in una discrezione del cuore e dell'anima che non attenua ma aumenta la profondità e l 'intensità dei sentimenti .😊
To imagine, as Europe was descending into unmitigated tragedy there remains hope.
I HATE ADS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@whaszisThan spend a little money and have it all ad free. Don’t complain if you are too cheap to watch quality movies like these without ads.
@@whaszis I use Adblock on my laptop. Never saw a single advert.
Excellent film. Brilliantly acted. Surprisingly unsentimental considering the subject. I will remember it.
Ik heb weer genoten ik z ag. de film eerder in 1944 ,nadat we bevrijd waren .
I don't really have a high opinion of this movie, but I will watch anything with Ingrid Bergman in it. She was such a talented and beautiful actress. RIP.
Why may one ask? Why not have a high opinion of this film? It is one of the best films of all time.
@@42kellys I disagree that it is a great film, so our tastes must be quite different. My idea of great films are Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Little Foxes, The Thin Man, The Magnificent Ambersons, Ben Hur, To Have and Have Not, several Hitchcock films, including Rebecca, North by Northwest, Notorious, Vertigo. These are only a few of the films that I find great, but I think there are many more that are much better than Intermezzo. That said, I am glad that you enjoy Intermezzo, and I certainly love seeing a young Ingrid Bergman turning in such a fine performance in it.
@@Bronte55 Well, several films you listed are great in my opinion too bu that does not take away greatness from this underestimated little gem of a film. However, opinions vary we are all different with different tastes and ideas on what is truly great or not. I measure a lot of them by tte impact they have on me. If no impact I would not call them great. Also, those films that make me think about them sometimes even for days or a week I call great even if it was distasteful watching them, e.g. Blade Runner 1-2. Mind you, 2 was not as 1 for me. I found that one terrifying and tormenting and showing a bleak vision of the future, now we are kinda live that future in many aspects. Naturally, I was prepared for 2 unlike for part one.
@@42kellys Yes, you stated the reason why Intermezzo is not great in my opinion. I have seen it three times over the course of many years. Each time, I have completely forgotten the content of the movie. Just now, I had to skim through parts of it to remind myself of it... and only 9 months after having last seen it. It is a melodrama that provokes no thought for me, except to briefly question that the infatuated young woman shows more level-headedness than the infatuated older man. I don't doubt that it inspires more thought for others, and that is just fine with me. Intermezzo just isn't my cup of tea.
This film is about the tremendous influence of the beauty of Music, not how people look..
Nov.2022 Great movie, great message. " Welcome Home" powerful words. 👍🥰
Really love this film.
Beautiful movie!! Enjoyed it very much.
What a wonderful film of sadness and happiness.
Yet tinged with sadness for his family. This is life.
We can all fit into this story at some scene.
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes. The scene at the end with his son is very touching, it’s in 3/4 shadow yet filled with every emotion.
😢I loved it the first time that I saw it and I love it again!!
Ingrid was a great from the beginning, and Howard no doubt helped her feel at ease in this movie (people say he was very patient and generous with other actors). I was surprised to see Ann Todd play Anne Marie- she was in many British films later as a Blonde who usually had only one expression on her face=dreary. She married a big shot, though, so her 'acting ability' didn't keep her out of films for a while. TY for the post.
That is a different Ann Todd. Look up "Ann Todd, Child actress". It is a completely different person.
@@survivaltrekker6677 OK-TY, I will.
Wrong Ann Todd. Yes, I was drawn to her endearing presence, her instinctive, genuine acting. So I looked her up..Ann E. Todd
This little girl is so beautiful here
Loved the Swedish original with Ingrid.
Thanks for sharing love this old time love story movie.
Marvelous film Great actors Great story should have got an Oscar
Classy and beautiful. A very special Soul. 😇
Joy and Sorrow are Today and Tomorrow . 😊 😞
Ah melodrama. Thanks for posting.
Ingrid was about 24 in this movie. Natural beauty.
Leslie Howard was associate producer because he made a deal with David O. Selznick. If he could produce a film, he'd perform in Selznick's biggest project at the time, "Gone with the Wind" with Howard as Ashley Wilkes.
Wonderful movie. I think David Selznick promised Leslie Howard he could be the executive director for this film if he agreed to portray Ashley Wilkes in “Gone With The Wind”.
Hermosisimo film
No logro encontrar las palabras para expresar mis emociones
Muchas graciqs por compartirlo
Thank you for the video it was very good story and I must have seen it when I was a little girl 1939 I was 5 years old and my mother and father always took me to the movies I must have seen it again when I grew up I don't remember it too well brings back a few memories . I like these kind of movies and as I got older I like western movies now too and mystery.🤩🤩
Good movie👍
This film is very good and beautiful.🕵️🎬♥️. Ingrid bergman e Leslie Howard ♥️
GRATIDÃO PELA POSTAGEM. A CENA COM O FILHO, UMA LIÇÃO👏👏👏👏
Molto bello,ben fatto e ben interpretato.
Senza nessuna volgarità.
C'è ne fossero!
Tom Hiddleston is our modern day Leslie Howard.
Well said. I think you're right.
asWonderf movie! So moving as a story of life and so sad in its depts of feeling! Ingrid Bergman was great!❤️
I remember Dad had bought this movie on a 1+1 offer. The other one was about a man leaving the monastary, falling in love with a woman, but finally goes back. Both movie about a man straying away but eventually returning
Can you by now remember the title of the second movie you mentioned?
Was it not with Marlene Dietrich in the lead role? I mean the other film? The story you mentioned seems to recall that film.
@@42kellys Thank you! I was able to search for the movie. It's called the Garden of Allah. I remember it specifically for the last scene.
@@anuferns WoW! I just reviewed all her films to find it by the name but I passed it, I did not think that Garden of Allah was that one. I am going to look at it again.
Thank you for your delightful videos 😁
OH THE DRAMA!!!!
was it this film that lost Ingrid Bergman's good reputation?
Not at all. Ingrid Bergman received some bad publicity and her career suffered for a time because she left her husband for Roberto Rosselini an Italian Movie Director but that didn't happen until 1950. However her career rebounded after a few years with several more successful movies.
Ingrid s. Beautiful eyes had such a luminous quality coupled with her sensuous mouth was so enchanting she' could speak with those eyes more than any words can convey 🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎵🎶🎻🎹🎻🎹
GOOD MOVIE!!!!!!!
Great movie! Thank you!
Howard always played the parts that showed him on the edge of the cliff between a two timer and a loyal husband .Remember Gone with the Wind? Hmm... Hey whats that about?
He was "two-timing" a bit in real life: not quite the ideal gentleman he portrayed in his pictures.
Life is seldom black or white, good or bad.
Not 'always', surely.
El Señor se vale de todo para el bien. ❤❤
I love this drama so much ❤️😊
Thank u very much for posting this movie ❤️
I love this movie
Intermezzo: Another Broken Marriage Story💔
And people love it but no one wants to
go through it.
Leonard Cohen wrote "the cracks let in light come in." Every life has cracks. People are weak, fall down, make mistakes. As long as there is love, there is hope, forgiveness and redemption.

Allora speriamo che le persone siamo forti e cadano il meno possibile.
Muy buena pelicula, gracias por compartirla.
I’m so surprised that Leslie Howard’s character is such a morally bankrupt man. Abandoning his family. We didn’t see him phoning his daughter on her birthday, only him mentioning it.
Oh dear, if he was as highly principled as you would like, there wouldn't be a movie in the first place!!
He isn't the first self-involved artist type (not unusual) to fall head over heels for an attractive, talented artist who worshipped him from afar. It's 1939, making telephone calls across the continent could take hours or days. Also, that would just serve to show his conflicted feelings and guilt. We already know about that.
Eu lembrava de um Intermezzo com Gregory Peck.
Another adultery film. Yay!
Stealing someone else’s Husband is never ethical.
イングリッドバーグマン、これぞまさに本物の『美人』なのでしょう。イングリッドバーグマンを見てしまったら、オードリーヘップバーンは美人というよりも『可愛い』方に分類されますね。
WHAT GOES ALL HOT AND FIRERY! ALMOST ALWAYS ENDS ICY COLD! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😅😮😮😮😮😮
When seeing the accident scene, I shrieked in horror to the discomfiture of people around.
Trivia:
The film has a 100 percent on rotten tomatoes
I don't call this a love story, I call it the story of a despicably selfish man who sacrifices his entire families happiness, including his child's, for his own greedy, arrogant belief in his entitlement. Are we supposed to call it love because it includes the beautiful Ingrid Bergman. I'd like to see a remake from the daughter's perspective where she ends up being a sad, mistrusting woman who never finds love because of her father's betrayal of his family responsibilities, that would be truthful.
Un saludo desde Argentina. Por favor tendrás ésta película en español o subtitulada? Gracias
nice movie
This is the first movie I’ve seen Leslie Howard in other than Gone with the Wind. His performance in Gone with the Wind was ok but not to the standard that this one was. I understand that he preferred to act on stage rather than movies so then it’s very understandable that his heart wasn’t in motion pictures. It would’ve been great to see if him act on stage doing what he truly loved doing.
@peace love ok. Thank you 😊
@@Vicki1951 you should also see him in The Petrified Forest with Bette Davis I think it's here on youtube. Also, I am presume you know that he disappeared (missing in action) during WWII that's why we never saw very much else of him... I think he was not right for GWTW. a southerner with a british accent? but then again, he gave an air of aristocracy to the part so maybe it wasn't so bad.....
@@alpha-omega2362 I knew that he died shortly after GWTW but not read why. I was planning on doing a research regarding him. I didn’t think he played the character of Ashley as well as I had imagined him when I had read the book so many many years ago. It seemed to me that he was still play acting on the stage but since I’ve never seen a professional Broadway play or any other, I am not qualified to be a critic. Thank you for the information. I have more movies to watch and more information to locate. 😊
I read that he died during World War II working as an agent for (I think British) carrying secret papers. Somehow, the Nazis found out and his plane was shot down.
@@elizabethchild1620 yes, I am sorry , my description of his death was somewhat superficial... apparently there are various theories , but I guess what I really meant to say is that his body was never recovered and thus technically he "disappeared" .. (or at least that is my understanding..)
The ending part with his son is to me the best part because I had forgiven my father for his marital
indescretions and loved him until his tragic death in a plane wreck. Infidelity is a forgivable sin.
Not for me.
Not for me either, complete and utter heartbreak that still lives with me at times, 60 years later.
Very good movie though All the actors were good I just can't picture Leslie Howard as a romantic interest the little actress that played his daughter in the movie was so cute and so enchanting almost outdoing Ingrid Bergman while I enjoyed the movie adultery causes a lot of pain not only to the wronged spouse but also the children
Leslie Howard had quite a few affairs in his time.
It's not loud enuf. Due to our extremely hot and humid weather, I have keep a fan and often my A/C on. (Maybe they'll post it another time.)
Not a bad film I enjoyed it
51:28 what a hypocrite.
He left his family. Having an affair.
Doesn't want to sign the divorce paper.
Worried that his wife might want to marry another man.
Ridiculous POS.
Men want all
And then she forgives him and welcomes him home! Disgusting.
@@carollund8251 So l guess this is where the holier-than-thou society meets. If your takeaway from the movie is as simplistic as that, you've missed alot.
I can hear the tut-tut-tuting from here. The lack of humanity for real people, in the throes of real emotions is depressing. Let's stone the adulterers.
@@c.a.savage5689 Sounds like an adulterer here is getting mighty defensive. And yes, the ending is as simplistic as that. The wife forgives him..as all good wives should do apparently.
First of all - He Should Have never asked her out , after the concert was over !
She should never had excepted it !
Both did something wrong,
She knew very well that he is a married man,
Wrong for both of them !!!!
