Funny, delightful, wonderful!!! And besides, Merle Oberon's character had the charming, innocent mannerisms of one of my daughters--very touching for me.
Thank-you for the entertaing movie. I like Melvin Douglas. I never saw to much of his films years back, but have seen quite a few lately. First time I ever saw Burgess Meredith was in his older years as Mr Penguin in the Batman TV show in the 1960s. He's a good actor.
In many ways, this performance by Oberon I judge to be her best on screen ever. Comedy is the very most difficult role to play. Like Lucille Ball, another astounding beauty, her comedic role here may have doomed her in the envious eyes of Hollywood, as she carried it off so well and they (most every Hollywood actress) never could.
the blond woman in My Man Godfrey is hysterical not as glamourus in that movie, I never saw this one or that one. I thought I'd seen all the old movies when AMC was American Movie Classics.
@@tommas2674, The blonde in My Man Godfrey was Carole Lombard. AMC did change its format, though I watched most of the classics on TCM, which still airs a lot of the old classic movies.
It's such a great movie! And I have always to be in a relationship where we would be the ones "Keeping up with the Bakers" every since the first time that I watched this movie, I was 14 and it made such an impression on me, I knew that I wanted to have a truly happy marriage. She came into my life when I was 23, and she was just 18. Everyone said that it would never work, but I was determined to make it work, and it has for 40 awesome, beautiful years so far, and we are still having fun, and still madly in love. I honestly plan on being around for our 65th wedding anniversary, too. Heck, I'll be only 89, just starting the prime of my life, ha, the golden years as they say. Can someone please answer me this, "WHO are they?" You always hear, "They said this, and they said that," but who are they? Ha ha! Time for me to go "keek" the little beautiful woman, Haa Haa! 😉keek! Woo-Hoo!
First time I've seen this and it was wonderful. Charming little love story with an off-side affair that really made Merle Oberon realize Melvyn Douglas was for her after all. Love these old black and white movies. Joe S
What a wonderful movie...a classic from those days .... great actors and delightful story and ending...so glad i came across this movie classic comedy romance... Thanku ❤
Nice film : enjoyed it a lot. I love a happy ending ! Gorgeous long dresses.😊 "Keeks", "phooey", and "Egg-y-shegera " ! 😊. xx from England 😊 🇬🇧😊💕🇺🇲💕🇬🇧😊
After 2.5yrs Germany & getting hurt, I got PDST & didn't even know it, I had it for 50yrs before I found out about it, during those times, I went to flight school & recived a Commercial pilots license & flight instructors ticket, I went through hell till I was in my later 60's when it went away.
So you are around 95 years old? End of WWII was 76 1/2 years ago, have to assume you were at least 18 when you went to Germany. Not questioning your story just think it's crazy a 95 year old guy is on UA-cam. Looks like you will most likely witness WWIII as well since Russia opened the gates for that officially.
@@daveallen63 The BBC has no trouble finding live Camp survivors for interviews, even though we are reminded that only they were killed. How come they have the most living today when they had the most exterminated?
Mrs. Baker repeatedly lied about her age to her Doctor. the 1st was when she said she was 22 then changed it to 24, which was still a lie. Later she admits to being married for 6yrs and getting married at 19yrs old. that would make 25yrs old.
32.50 into the movie the background people talking at the dinner table kept repeating the same words with a question sound. It sound scary when they would not stop saying the same thing over and over 😮
Extras are advised to say, "Peas an carrots" and pretend they are conversing. But not to be too animated and distract from the action in the main plot.
About to lose his marriage, the lead ploughs on. He is not to blame, seriously, as he is the victim of the superficial culture in which he is embedded. She is far more to blame, if anyone is. She lacked the insight and moral courage required to transform her marriage.
Pretty good movie BUT I don't know what she sees in the pianist. To me he's conceded probably a narcissist, quite annoying.😂 I guess that made for a lot of the humor involved😂 TY for sharing this movie.
Actually he is a very successful attorney who is taking a step down from his current income to prosecute this case. If anything financially he's earning less.
Perhaps you will be very happy if he stroke his wife, don't worry Sir there are plenty of them exists in this world who thinks striking his wife is his marital right. I like the character of Mr. Baker here who was exceptional to this male dominated world (for he loves his wife dearly so that can't strike her without taking lots of alcohol).
@@lopa2828 My humor was I thought unmistakable. I would never condone a man for striking a woman. My point was that it is legitmate to question the grounds on which unthoughtful feminists operate. My point remaims. Once feminists figure this out, according to the principles of intelligent discourse laid down by Socrates and Aristotle, perhaps we can talk usefully.
The Burgess Meredith character is ruining the whole thing for me. Guess I’m just not in the right mood for this movie. Actually it’s about the only ‘old’ Black and White movie I couldn’t like. 😉Eve Arden kept me watching. 🫣

My Late Moms Uncle Alan Mowbray is in this Funny Classic She named me after this Great English American Star.
How cool!
That's cool
Dr. Vengard is fabulous!
I enjoy him in everything he’s in! I’m always happy to see his name in opening credits.
Thanks for sharing that!
Your film uploads are always such high quality, great picture and excellent sound. I'm enjoying your channel immensely. Thankyou so much.
this was so much fun. a well crafted and witty comedy. great performance 🎥🎥🎥👍
Great little movie, well-written and well-acted. Burgess and Melvyn have superb guy chemistry and timing.
Magnificent movie! Nice to see Burgess Meredith as a young man. Heart warming picture I'll watch over again!😊

What a wonderful movie...a classic from those days .... great actors and delightful story and ending...so glad i came across this movie classic comedy romance...

Great movie, thank you! Please keep them coming.
Always nice to see the beautiful Merle Oberon
Love the “you’re an isolationist”. Pre Pearl Harbor
it is a very good movie with good actors and all.
The funniest part imo was at the beginning after she says, "Dr. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with me" and He responds
'and if anybody should shave, it's Mrs. Cooper!' bwahahahahahaaha
Nice film : enjoyed it a lot.
I love a happy ending !
Gorgeous long dresses.😊

When the film came out, Merle Oberon was 30...born in 1911

@@grownup8146,
Where did that come from? Old movies? Personal experience? What era?
I love old movies because they have a plot.
Just think we are looking at the future Joker on Batman.
The Penguin, not the Joker.
awesome...thanks for sharing
Burgess Meredith was delightfully obnoxious.
What man would trust such a woman again? Not me.
People do many such silly things if they are in love. I think the husband was truly in love with his wife so he forgives her.
They don't make em like this anymore besides they don't have the talent
That lady has too much free time. Rich husband. Doesn't need to work. She is bored and goes to a psychiatrist to find out what's wrong with her...😀
Typical Hollywood actress 😂
About to lose his marriage, the lead ploughs on. He is not to blame, seriously, as he is the victim of the superficial culture in which he is embedded. She is far more to blame, if anyone is. She lacked the insight and moral courage required to transform her marriage.

Not as bad as I expected. Who is playing who, anyway?

Burgess Meredith was creepy in this movie.
He got on my nerves
@@nancycatania7763: mine too
But he became the Joker on Batman.
@@verasmith4767 The Penguin, not the Joker.
@@probyful correct. The Joker was Caesar Romero. LOLOLOL
nice artwork
This diatribe against stupid male behavior of the age would have been all the more difficult if children had been involved.

A comedy classic
That was cute. Thank you.

Not even half way through. I'll go watch it somewhere else where there isn't a terrible ad every three minutes.😠
Not anymore.

Bergis was so young then.
Why does this artist remind me of oscar levant?
Burgess,Meredith
Illuminati triangle gesture 6.00 !
For a comedy to explore the deepest misleadings of the heart without answer to the Courts of Justice, I would expect more.
That woman needs medical help her mother never talk to her at all it sad real sad
This is wacky. I will shut my phone down in a few minutes.
He refuses to strike a woman under the circumstances, but not a man. If equal justice remains, why NOT?
Perhaps you will be very happy if he stroke his wife, don't worry Sir there are plenty of them exists in this world who thinks striking his wife is his marital right.
