Soon I will be 86. I was about 21 or 22 when I saw it and had read all of O' Hara's books. It's one of my favorites and will always be. What a great job Gary Cooper did and Suzy Parker, a model back then, became a great actress too. Thank you for bringing me back to an even better age.
A bit younger here. When I was a kid, I would see Suzy Parker in fashion magazines. She has the exact coloring of my Mama AND the height; Mama was 5'10" to Daddy's 5'7"! But he would pick her up and swing her around just to make her giggle 😊 when her legs showed!
I had a similar episode in my life. I sit here reminiscing, in my recliner at 78 with multiple myeloma. I know how it feels to have love and to lose it. It happened in my 40. At Boeing . He was 20 yrs older than me. And married. I had been married twice. But never experienced a love like ours. He wouldn't divorce his wife. I left after 5 years. I saw him one day at a grocery store with a Home Health Aide, assisting him with his shopping. This movie brought back all those wonder memories. Better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved. Thanks for the memories,great movie.8-7-23.

@@sfinthecity There were many good movies then. Many nonsensical ones too, but they have been forgotten (= not survived). The ones we still see, are often top quality. Never mind colour or gimmicks.
This movie is one of my favorites. I first saw it on TV when I was a young girl. It's from the novel written by John O'Hara, one of the best writers of the mid-century. He was born in Pennsylvania. Gibbsville was based on his home town of Pottsville, PA. I love the final scene where the beautiful Suzy Parker is walking in her elegant wedding dress, towards her future, with her veil lifted by the breeze. Varsi and Parker were just magnificent in their roles. Suzy Parker died at 70. Her uncle was my painting teacher.
This is a well made film in every aspect. There is nothing "stupid" about such films, as one comment says. Classy works like this appeal to people with mature tastes, modern junk is for those that are easily entertained. Thank you for this movie!
I agree with you that this is a well made film. But is it necessary to brand everything since as modern junk? 1958 saw some awful rubbish as well as this - just search for 1958 movies on this platform. And once you get past the salacious, puerile and plain dumb output of today, some very fine films are still being made both for cinemas and television. As in every era you just have to put in the effort to find them.
Never heard of this film before... when I saw Gary Cooper was in it I jumped at the chance to watch it. Wasn't disappointed thought it was a very good film and good plot which was acted well. Great quality copy.
Decent people also have "human weaknesses." In this movie, joe Chapin, was a decent man, one who could not compromise himself when it came to the important things in life, long suffering with a wife who was cold and unfaithful. Too bad he and Kate could not have been together, since she brought some peace and beauty into his life.💔 I've been waiting for this movie, thanks for posting it!
Geraldine Fitzgerald is such a great actress. She really makes us hate her so much. For a more sympathetic role, watch “Dark Victory”. She plays Betty Davis’s best friend and is just lovely. You won’t even believe that it is the same actor.
Great movie, it won Best Picture at a European film festival. The book was a blockbuster by John O'Hara. They only used about 1/3 of the book in the movie script.
Really underrated film when they talk about the ‘50’s. Based on a novel by John O’Hara. Less well known than Butterfield 8, starring Elizabeth Taylor, also from an O’Hara novel. Has been really hard to find over the years. Thanks for posting. Great picture quality! PS- “Written On The Wind” is another 50’s adult classic that too few people know of…🙏🎭
One of my faves. Suzy left the biz after marrying actor Bradford Dillman (think Robert Redford’s best friend in The Way We Were.)and they lived happily ever after!
I remember seeing this movie when I was in high school. I thought Stuart Whitman was dynamite and understood why Varsi's character was so drawn to him because I had something similar happen to me and my parents broke us up. This movie recalled that heartache. I remember being glad that Gary Cooper's character had that brief love.
After reading all the comments about the acting in this film, I'm surprised no one mentioned Ray Stricklyn, who played Jobie. He was terrific as the ne'er-do-well, alcoholic son of Gary Cooper. His best scene was toward the end where he tells off Geraldine Fitzgerald and Cooper's friends. Stricklyn's first part I had ever seen him was as a gawky teenager in the 1956 Richard Widmark western, ''The Last Wagon.'' Only two years later, here he was playing a young adult with style. He was under contract to Fox at the time and I think the studio handled him poorly. Later, he went back to Broadway before coming out and having a happy relationship until he died in 2002.
Interesting & so many others who we say .hey what ever happened to? Its the bench players that just makes classic Hollywood CLASSIC IT SURE HAD A DEEP BENCH.
Gary Cooper was the archetype of an American male taciturn open tall ruggedly handsome all the strengths and a few of the weaknesses confident. His portrayal of $gt YORK or the American anti fascist in FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS are moving to me. He was one of a kind.
@@teresastorch-bh2tu I liked BARBARA STANWYK better they were both revealing a good heart in the end. That movie was a time capsule of the GREAT DEPRESSION feel good motion picture.
Terrific actor! Gary Cooper was around 56 when this movie was released. He was born in 1901. And the cigarettes and sunshine, likely w/o sunscreen made him look much older. Then, sadly, cancer.
Gorgeous, husky voiced Stuart Whitman (23:30) started his acting career as a shirtless hunk. He specialized in getting his onscreen girl co-stars 'in trouble'. He got Carolyn Jones in trouble. In this movie, he does the same w/Diane Varsi. He TRIED his best to get Joanne Woodward in trouble in SOUND AND THE FURY, but alas, Yul Brynner got in the way. He also kept Broderick Crawford sober in the HIGHWAY PATROL tv series.. In private life, he speculated in real estate and became a very wealthy man. I always liked Stuart Whitman, who kept working for literally decades and stayed as handsome as ever....BTW don't miss him in THE MARK, which did not get a lot of play here in the States due to the subject matter. Still, a fine film.
Oh, that’s who it was ! Stuart Whitman !? 😍Boy, he really convinced me he was a seedy Italian trumpet player from Jersey !! 🤩 Gosh, he was HOT in this picture, which I’ve never heard of til it turned up in my feed, btw. I love old B&W films. When the scripts were good , not sensationalised or sexed up. No lurid violence or gratuitous sex scenes. Young people had good manners and respect for elders. We can only dream about those days while seeing films like these. How did our world change so much in 65 years ??
Thanks so much for the download sfinthecity. I really enjoyed this one and the picture was so clear and good to watch. Ignore the moaners as they seem to be getting onto every forum there is. I wonder if most of them are the ones kicked off Twitter. Some of them seem the sort.
I can identify with Susie Parker’s character. I had the same thing back in the 1970s. It’s very painful when it breaks up most especially for the woman I was 17 he was 35 back then I wanted a full grown man like this song says, how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume it isn’t easy but I’ll try never did I think that I could happen to me thank you so much for this upload and love from all of us on Staten Island, New York
@@aruglaempire2518 Less than a hundred years ago it was the customary 16-21 years old girls with men of 30-40. It's in our childish age whee people do not grow up where a 17 years old counts as an irresponsible baby is when it may be called like that. Not earlier times. Even 60 years ago, a 17-18 year old was married and had her first child and took care of the home, single handedly. People wee brought up to be responsible and to be adults earlier that today. Look up fact of bygone times, before you judge something by today's standards.
I think Barbara Nichols is wearing the same exact dress Marilyn Monroe made her Seven Year Itch entrance in. The scene where MM is buzzed into Tom Ewell's brownstone.
This was a participative movie in the emergence of the exciting new process called “method” acting. Many of the young generation in the film are alumni of the New York Studio where method had its birth and included Marylin Monroe and Marlon Brando among its students. Interesting to watch the old style traditional Hollywood stars like Gary Cooper interacting with these younger troupers. I would say that these old stars implemented method techniques instinctively from necessity into their performances and it seems to work here in what is a rather laborious script
It's an effective way of acting to the camera and the close up. You make a very good point. As I understand it the Actor's Studio would refer to Cooper as an example.
@@BroonParker What exactly did the Actors' Studio learn from Coop? with their constant, hysterical mugging and overacting and gesturing? Absolutely the antithesis of Coop.
A wonderful movie. I wish the daughter and son had a spine, but that's another story. We only have one life. Live it. or waste it. Very well acted. Im glad the daughter discovers the Emerald at the end. It wraps up the movie for me.
They are all dead now. Undependant from there age to this time. It's absolut uninteresting, what they said, thougt, made. And how they played. (Mostly bad and boring) .Do you understand?
Gary Cooper was 31 years older than Suzy Parker in this movie. He was 57 at the time and she was 26. Imagine if it were reversed, with him being 26 and her being 57. Why is it okay for the man to be older? I don’t understand that. The ending was depressing.
Your question was, why is it ok for the man to be older? A woman of 20 has the maturity of a 40 year old man. I'm 22 years older than my wife but if you see us together and hear our conversations, you'd think she was 22 years older than me. The answer to your question is simply that women grow up and mature much more quicker than men.
Most men like younger women so that they can manipulate them and lead them. Those with small egos never pick equals in age. I am 41, and my generation would pick 22y old cause its all about sex and because he knows at my age i see him completly thru and he cant sell me his jokes, tricks, lies and manipulation.
I agree totally except I allowed some leeway for it being in the dark ages of the 1950s. Also, I like that it allowed Cooper’s character to stand the high ground and call off the affair. Before that happened I almost turned the movie off so disgusting by the age difference. But then again, it’s also based on the novel so they had to follow the script
I'm a middle aged man but I would never want to have a 22 year old girlfriend. Firstly, culturally we are so different. Secondly, little to no common interests are probable. Thirdly, a 22 year old does not have any real life experience. She would find things interesting to do that I already did decades ago. Been there done that. Most men make the mistake of wanting a young woman because of her beauty. But after you get past that, what do you have? Nothing, nothing to keep the relationship together.
I understand why she fell for him and would have married him even though he could have been her father. He was that special. Yes, he was, even in real life.
Lovely Diane varsi and Geraldine Fitzgerald as the shrewish wife Gary Cooper as The unhappy unfulfilled could have been captured a dew🎉 happy moments with his daughter s. Roommate sad commentary but excellently played by All the actors
Ten North Frederick (1958) 6.8 At his father's funeral, Joe Chapin thinks back over the last five years of his life, years of apparent political and personal failure dominated by a selfish and dissatisfied wife and eased only by alcohol. But it starts to emerge that there was in fact one brief and unsuspected period of happiness and love.
I would rewrite the ending in this way: They get a divorce and the wife joins her lover the district attorney and Joe goes back to Kate. The daughter is reunited with the trumpet player and everyone lives happily ever after. He was too young to die! I am a romantic at heart and hate sad endings.
No perfect as it is ' with the well off there are no happy endings most of the time " as the song says money can't Buy you love ' This is why poor people are Richer no money yet lots of love
@@sg-vp2qg that's their lookout then. Some/most of the comments I read (of the ones worth reading) want to discuss the film they've seen. And some of the ones not worth reading are just about virtue signalling. For example ...
@@BroonParker Some people just want to point out other people's comments are not worth reading in their own personal estimation for example......... ;)
I just read that they wanted Spencer Tracy to play the Cooper part. I can't even imagine Tracy in that part...a romantic lead??? NO!!! Fortunately, Tracy became unavailable, so the part went to Cooper.
This was one of Gary Cooper's best roles. He played it rather well. I think he looked older than his 56 years. Cary Grant looked much younger when he was 56. I've seen Diane Varsi in this role and in Peyton Place. She deserved a better career than she got. Ditto for Suzy parker. They all played their parts well. All that said, it's an unpleasant movie to watch. Especially since I'm older than Coop was in this movie.
I'm not too keen on these May/November romances but the movie was good. Geraldine Fitzgerald did the best acting IMO. I'll need to check out more of her movies.
@@elainedaprano9130 OMG, he was patriotic, too. Sorry. but the industry was being infiltrated by communists, even if some innocents were caught up in it. Now I am really impressed with Gary Cooper.
I didn't see "Oppenheimer" in IMAX but I can't imagine how the much anticipated IMAX black and white film used in that movie could look better than this.
@@maewebster9377 Perhaps the moral of this is to not look at the comments before watching the film. Usually the comments reflect what people thought of the film. What did you expect reading comments before you had even watched it? People to be talking about the weather or maybe what sport had occurred today?
Funny thing about this movie Gary Cooper is not playing the roles he always plays "The Good Person" The Adultery was just Grand. Marilyn Monroe wore the dress much better in "The Seven Year Itch," than Barbara Nichols is this picture. I saw this pic, years ago. Funny TCM don't have it in its rotation of movies.
So many women don't mind being with a man who has the same age as her father or even older. But hardly ever a 25 year old man wants to have a relationship with a 52 year old woman. Why is that?
Soon I will be 86. I was about 21 or 22 when I saw it and had read all of O' Hara's books. It's one of my favorites and will always be. What a great job Gary Cooper did and Suzy Parker, a model back then, became a great actress too. Thank you for bringing me back to an even better age.

I agree totally except I allowed some leeway for it being in the dark ages of the 1950s. Also, I like that it allowed Cooper’s character to stand the high ground and call off the affair. Before that happened I almost turned the movie off so disgusting by the age difference. But then again, it’s also based on the novel so they had to follow the script
I'm a middle aged man but I would never want to have a 22 year old girlfriend. Firstly, culturally we are so different. Secondly, little to no common interests are probable. Thirdly, a 22 year old does not have any real life experience. She would find things interesting to do that I already did decades ago. Been there done that. Most men make the mistake of wanting a young woman because of her beauty. But after you get past that, what do you have? Nothing, nothing to keep the relationship together.
I played the Trumpet - Scranton PA. 1980 - Carlon O'Malley.
I understand why she fell for him and would have married him even though he could have been her father. He was that special. Yes, he was, even in real life.
Thank you~!
Lovely Diane varsi and Geraldine Fitzgerald as the shrewish wife Gary Cooper as The unhappy unfulfilled could have been captured a dew🎉 happy moments with his daughter s. Roommate sad commentary but excellently played by All the actors
Ten North Frederick (1958) 6.8
At his father's funeral, Joe Chapin thinks back over the last five years of his life, years of apparent political and personal failure dominated by a selfish and dissatisfied wife and eased only by alcohol. But it starts to emerge that there was in fact one brief and unsuspected period of happiness and love.
I would rewrite the ending in this way: They get a divorce and the wife joins her lover the district attorney and Joe goes back to Kate. The daughter is reunited with the trumpet player and everyone lives happily ever after. He was too young to die! I am a romantic at heart and hate sad endings.
No perfect as it is ' with the well off there are no happy endings most of the time " as the song says money can't
Buy you love ' This is why poor people are Richer no money yet lots of love
@@patdoyle3686What if poor people don't have love.

Thanks!! 👍

Real movie. Hollywood needs to relearn.
Lovely lovely film, think I could’ve cried when he broke it off with Kate.
Well that's a real spoiler.
@@wanted3917 I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to spoil it for you. I suggest you read the comments after watching the film.
@@luzvaldes1030 But many don't wait, then it is too late:(
@@sg-vp2qg that's their lookout then. Some/most of the comments I read (of the ones worth reading) want to discuss the film they've seen.
And some of the ones not worth reading are just about virtue signalling. For example ...
@@BroonParker Some people just want to point out other people's comments are not worth reading in their own personal estimation for example......... ;)
I just read that they wanted Spencer Tracy to play the Cooper part. I can't even imagine Tracy in that part...a romantic lead??? NO!!! Fortunately, Tracy became unavailable, so the part went to Cooper.
I find Tracy attractive and much more likeable than Cooper. Cooper was gorgeous when he was young though.
If Tracy had gotten the part I'd have watched a different movie this afternoon.
Thank you
This was one of Gary Cooper's best roles. He played it rather well. I think he looked older than his 56 years. Cary Grant looked much younger when he was 56. I've seen Diane Varsi in this role and in Peyton Place. She deserved a better career than she got. Ditto for Suzy parker. They all played their parts well. All that said, it's an unpleasant movie to watch. Especially since I'm older than Coop was in this movie.

Gary Cooper died of cancer a few years after this movie. I don't know when he was diagnosed, but it could account for his appearance.
I'm not too keen on these May/November romances but the movie was good. Geraldine Fitzgerald did the best acting IMO. I'll need to check out more of her movies.
November? More like the following January!
@@BroonParker There was 28 years difference between the 2 actors. I was thinking December would be like a 40 year difference.
She's done a LOT more than you will believe. WIDE range of genres!
She is a wonderful actor. Watch " Trip to Bountiful", & " Sweet Bird of Youth". Blow you away.
@@sandyjuntunen4088 Geraldine Page was in "Sweet Bird of Youth" with Paul Newman. Not Fitzgerald
I love Gary Cooper.
Good movie.
He was a good actor, but I've never forgiven him for turning FRIENDS in to the House Unamerican Committee run by Joe McCarthy 😢
@@elainedaprano9130 OMG, he was patriotic, too.
Sorry. but the industry was being infiltrated by communists, even if some innocents were caught up in it. Now I am really impressed with Gary Cooper.
I didn't see "Oppenheimer" in IMAX but I can't imagine how the much anticipated IMAX black and white film used in that movie could look better than this.

Very intense movie, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I recognise DV voice, Alison McKenzie from Peyton Place !
Too bad Anna's husband did not come back. I felt sorry for her all through the movie.
well are you just the movie killer? no point in watching it now...
@@maewebster9377
Perhaps the moral of this is to not look at the comments before watching the film. Usually the comments reflect what people thought of the film. What did you expect reading comments before you had even watched it? People to be talking about the weather or maybe what sport had occurred today?
@@maewebster9377 well then, you saved yourself nearly two hours by doing this to yourself. Feel better?
@@BroonParker No. No I don’t as a matter of fact, but thanks for caring 💧💧💧
A classy title.
Funny thing about this movie Gary Cooper is not playing the roles he always plays "The Good Person" The Adultery was just Grand. Marilyn Monroe wore the dress much better in "The Seven Year Itch," than Barbara Nichols is this picture. I saw this pic, years ago. Funny TCM don't have it in its rotation of movies.
I say go with your heart you only live once.... Tony cuenca
Rules: remember 😊
Craphead: I think one could say every tyrant in the world lived by that bit of untruth.
Gary Cooper fine.
Hermosa película, una joya, gracias.
Feliz de que te haya gustado.
Suzy Parker.👍❤
So many women don't mind being with a man who has the same age as her father or even older. But hardly ever a 25 year old man wants to have a relationship with a 52 year old woman. Why is that?
That's not true. In some cases its the other way around. But the simple answer is avoidance of death reality
@@JeanneGuarnieri-vs7zn In some cases, but not in most. That's what I wrote. That's true.
😂
@@JeanneGuarnieri-vs7znnot true.
Actually, young men do go for older women.
Good movie.
