PizzaFlix you did it again…..another great movie from my childhood. Natalie Wood was so good in this movie and who doesn’t like Walter Brennan? Natalie Wood said in a interview that she nearly drowned in the bridge scene and feared water for the rest of her life. She never learned to swim because of her fear. It’s ironic that is exactly how she died…..allegedly.
Yeah, I don't believe for one minute that in the middle of the night she got into a dingy alone. Robert Wagner has never told us exactly what happened that night.
Robert Wagner killed her echoing a film wher he killed a woman. Natalie filmed Brainstorm with Christopher Walken. All three of them were on a boat. Supposedly she walked into a room and saw walken and wagner having sex. Wagner, fearing she would talk killed her. I think she threatened to talk so they might both have plannned to off her. 😢
@@raymondwitter7650 yeah, that's what most likely happened. I also learned from a documentary on the subject that Wagner and Wood were heard having a heated argument that suddenly went silent. Oh, I know what movie to which you're referring, but I can't recall the title. Wagner pushes his pregnant girlfriend off a building to her death. Then later he begins dating her wealthy best friend, and almost does her in by attempting to push her off a cliff at her father's quarry ~ a real nail-biter!
I saw this beautiful film many years ago, but seeing it now has so much more impact. Contrast this world to the one we're living in now. This country was once such a wonderful place, full of wonderful people. I remember 4-H. It used to be everywhere up to the 1970s. But it came to be regarded as corny and unhip and the kids turned into dope-smoking punks. Now they're doing meth and fentanyl. When Natalie Wood's character was taking the 4-H pledge, I was tearing up, in these realizations of what we've lost.
4-H is still all over the place in rural areas, and even in cities; one of my neighbors raised a miniature pony as a 4-H project in a typical suburban yard, and my many country cousins all participated in 4-H. And our country is still a wonderful place...you just wouldn't know it if you spend too much time watching the news media (Motto: "If it bleeds, it leads"). Back then, the vast majority of the media largely portrayed happy endings-remember what a shock movies like "Bonnie and Clyde" were when they first came out?-but there were plenty of problems that matched or exceeded what we have today: deep rooted racism, sexism, and habitual addiction (smoking and alcoholism) as a cultural norm, for a few examples. It's just that if you weren't personally affected by them, you didn't hear about them-now you hear about *everything*
@@barbaradace7952 yes what's crazy is that there were so many great people who died because of drugs nobody really talk about the problem and then as it got worse doctors figure it out how they could make money off of that addiction and they just kept pumping whatever star full of whatever medication that they wanted to keep them addicted to keep getting their Hollywood paycheck. There were a lot of shady doctors making money off of people that where in the spotlight raking it in. back then just like now morphine and heroin were super big problem. People were just more apt to keep it a secret for whoever they were getting their paycheck from that way their Golden goose wouldn't be the wiser that their big paychecks were divided off to doctors. Yes I guess maybe a lot of people don't realize 4-H is still quite a big deal in quite a few places. ✌️♥️🌎🌍🌏🌌🌠🫵🥰🥰 There are a lot of great young adults and children in our world. ♥️♥️♥️
I couldn't agree more. I believe we as American people are still good, honest and giving people. It manifests when there is a disaster of some sort. We pull together, we assist any way we can. If the "powers that be" would just but out of our personal affairs we could return to our former glory. I pray for that every day....

Back in 1977, I had the honor of meeting Natalie Wood. I told her that I named my 2 year old daughter after her. She cried then hugged me with a beautiful kiss on my cheek! She was such a beautiful lovely woman. I was very sad when she passed at such a young age. My daughter is going to be 48 years old in two months. I'll never forget meeting Natalie Wood. Her real name was Natasha Girden.
I named my daughter after her, too. My Natasha is 28 now. And her little sister, who is 15, has a middle name of Natalie. 💕🥰 PS: I think her name was spelled Gurdin. 🙂
My son was two years old in 1977 also. I would’ve loved to have met Natalie Wood. She’s one of my favorites. I’m glad you had that experience and what an honor for you to name your child after her.
What a wonderful movie. This is the first time I've seen it. Makes me homesick for "the good old days" - when I was born and raised. Glad I'm not growing up today! We still have kind, decent, caring, courageous, independent people in the good old USA, but our wonderful country is experiencing "growing pains" and, like with all growth (including getting older) there is pain, and challenges - and choices and adjustments to be made, leddons to be learned,, and work to be done. Thank you, PizzaFlix! Keep on bringing us these wonderful old movies, which show us how life in the good old USA was and set us to thinking how it could be again, with hard work and dedication - and not giving up!
my father was raised during the great depredation he enjoyed classic movies plus TV shows such as the Andy Griffith Show plus Shirley Temple movies plus the little house on the prairie series John Wayne movies plus the Beverly hill billys plus the Trail of the lonesome pine movie.
@@bendavis6722 , yep those were and still are good TV shows. I grew up in that era too loving all of those TV shows too. We didn't realize how better we had it back then. I hope someday we can get back to that way of life before our country is completely ruined.
What a beautiful, marvelous, heartwarming movie! I'm so glad I'm not growing up today, but was born and raised when America was at its finest, exactly as this movie reminds us. Thank you, Pizza Flix!🇺🇲❤️🙏
Born and raised when America was at its finest! Amen to that! That is all we have, our fond memories of how beautiful and kind life was back then..troubles and hardships yes! But we survived on love, respect for one another, kindness toward our fellow man and neighbors didn't hesitate to help in times of trouble, God was a primary factor in the household......such times
@@tumarah-hv6gf Amen. The America we knew is no more. But as you've said, we have absolutely the best memories. People think we're exaggerating, but America really WAS different. Safe, warm and cozy. Everyone looked out for each other. Family and manners were the norm. We had meals together, family worship. Even our TV programs were family friendly. I still uphold those things, and watch old movies and our favorite TV shows: Leave It To Beaver, Father knows Best, Andy Griffith, etc. God bless 🙏💕👍
I know about 'when American was good' what like when they committed genoocide on 20 million indigenous people, or the bigotry of Calvinist Fundamentalist, or the slavey of a race of people, or when all women are property of the husbands! the good old times RIGHT!
What a gem! Two of my favorite child actresses in one movie - Natalie Wood and Connie Marshall. And Connie Marshall playing a heavy! I just can't believe I've been on this earth for 66 years and I've never seen this movie before. Thank you, PizzaFlix!
Heard about Natalie's bridge scene in the storm, since forever... Didn't know the title of the movie... Then this showed up, on my Phone!!! April 2023 !!! So I finally got to see this movie Today !!! Thank you Pizza flix!!! (I saw this in the morning, so I didn't have pizza with this!!! But I will watch it again later, With some pizza !!!). Who doesn't Love Natalie Wood ??!!!! I've got the DVD of Miracle on 34th St. !!! 💖💖💖 My mother would've been 87 this year; so Natalie would've been 85 this year. 😔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have talked to so many over the years who said what I had thought. We liked her acting best as a child and right up to Splendor in the Grass. Those were her best years.
The same was true with Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls for so many years on Little House on the Prairie. She was best as a child actress. When she’d finished puberty, something changed about her acting quality and naturalness. Still good, but much better talent as a child. I think Natalie Wood was still great at acting in her roles as an adult, but I do observe that she definitely had a natural talent as a child.
This movie is a treasure, the whole entire cast a delight. All the children actors were natural, like CHILDREN. It showed a beautiful time in our country.
Amazing when you look at these movies and how most children were well-behaved or at least had boundaries, society was different too, and how refreshing no profanity. These days most are spoiled with choice and the language used even at such a young age their overbearing confidence is so overwhelmingly overused. Never seen this movie, great acting from Natalie Wood.
I never put down any generation especially the current. Past generations were imperfect and if we look back with clear eyes we can see this. I came of age in the 60s and they thought my generation was on their way to hell because we were protesting everything, wore hot pants, and used birth control pills.
Thank you PizzaFlix you’re keeping our Country strong by reminding us citizens how important our values are and how important community is, just like the first frontiers. God Bless You and our Country too.
Born in 1953. These were the values I grew up in. Hard work in the real world. Love of God and country. We've slipped far from this. We now have a generation of narcissistic naval-gazers who believe the world owes them something...
You can teach an old dog new tricks... after he learns his lesson. Great movie. Always loved the happy endings in the old movies. Thanks... That's Entertainment!
Well.. I burst into tears when the whole town showed up with their tractors! This is how America was Built... with people who helped their neighbors and if the barn burned down..the townspeople neighors would come together and build another one for the devastated family. Why have we forgotten this? ? ?
Great movie! My own parents would be 1 year old when this movie came out. Most of what Hollywood was turning out was great in those days. Natalie Wood was such a great actress in her childhood!
What a heartwarming and fun movie to watch. My husband was part of the SCS, now the NRCS, which deals with stewardship of the land. It was like listening to Thomas again. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this movie!!! I enjoyed the story and very young Natalie Woods Bless her. She went a long way in her Movie career! There are so many more movies like this one and I looking forward to each and every one❣️❣️
Hi Eyegotcha -- for the longest time Audrey Hepburn was my favorite actress, but shortly before Natalie's death she became my first choice. She sure is adorable in this film.
Natalie Wood was such a talented child actor. I have always enjoyed watching Marguerite Chapman as well, and you don't get a better actor than the great Walter Brennan. Add a great storyline to all the terrific actors and it makes for a wonderful movie.
🍕🍕🍕🍕Thank you , have seen this movie many times , great movie .❤👍 Will enjoy watch it again , always nice to watch Walter Brennan , a great and wonderful talent . A good week to you dear sir , so glad I found your channel many years ago .😃❤👍🍕🍕🍕🍕Ted Donaldson passed away March 1 , 2023 after a fall , at the age of 89 . 🙏He was in many good movies .
I’m 80 years old and 6 when this film was made. My daddy was a coal miner and his greatest fear was drowning down in the mine if a rush of water flooded the mine. To this day, I have a fear of deep, dirty water. Why, because a year before when I was 5yo, my two older brothers took me out in a canoe, tossed me out into the water to teach me how to swim. I screamed before I hit the water and sank down into the murky bottom of the manmade lake. I don’t remember much but I can recall the horror of drowning as my heart stopped. My daddy witnessed this whole event as my brother jumped in and pulled my body up to the surface and was able to resuscitate me. Two years later, when I was 7yo, my daddy was killed in a mining accident. That was 73 years ago and I’m terrified to be close to any deep water. If Natalie was as panicked as I get around deep water, I can understand how she was and how she had a panic attack and drowned when she tried to get back to shore and safety. Yes, the fear of drowning is a powerful emotion and she couldn’t escape from her demon , like I can’t from mine. RIP Natalie, as tears run down my cheeks.
Big hugs to you sweet soul 🤗 PRAYERS OF LOVE AND STRENGTH ♥ 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 I growing up in the 60s way better times 🤗 walking through wellington city in the 70s I looked across to see Rudolf Nuere ye walking by...in New Zealand..take care blessed soul ♥
@@terrylawrence8362 I actually know who you’re referring to because at one point in my young life, I wanted to do the same. Sadly being poor crushed that dream. If I remember correctly, I’ve seen him perform back in the day, as ballet is one of my passions, along with opera and any form of music. What will get the hair on my arms and neck to stand up is listening to a large full orchestra performing the William Tell Overture. Dang, now I’m hearing it in my head. Thank you for your kind words. Another favorite, The Blue Danube.
Dear Robert, it saddens me to hear your story entwined with that of Natalie Wood. I understand you. When I was very little, my cousins pushed me into the deep water of a swimming pool, I could not swim and I could have drowned. I was saved, but I had fear of water and have never been able to jump or dive into water, although I eventually learnt to swim around 15 years after the incident. I have never been comfortable around water. It's a tragic story indeed, your father died so very young, how awful it must have been for you. Natalie must have died indeed in a panic attack, just too tragic. I'm so sorry.....
@@alipalification Thank you for your kind words. You bring up a valid point in my life and Natalie’s. You yourself carry that same panicked moment with you for the rest of your life. That moment is the instant you hit the water and go under. It’s called the fight or flight reflex your brain has that kicks in. Whether to fight or run in any given moment of panic. The instant I hit the water and began to sink, with every ounce of power I had I struggled to get back to the surface. Only to inhale water instead of air and went down for the second and last time. Since you unknowingly remember your fight or flight moment and are still bothered by it, it will be a part of you till the day you die. Natalie almost drowned in the scene where the bridge breaks, her moment never left her and it most likely killed her when she actually drowned. The brain is a powerful part of the human body, it can heal it or self destruct and kill it. Thank you again.
Thank u pizzaflix n all the others that post these great classics The Golden Age of Hollywood is Gone With the Wind but it’s alive on utube because of those who care enough to bring these wonderful b/w beauties to old fans n new 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎬
What a sweet movie! And Natalie Wood didn't you all just fall in love with her? Such a fine young lady even at age 11, and a great actress too. Loved this movie and the message the Reverend made.
🥰Sweet movie ! Walter B. as the Papa and Natalie Wood is the youngest of 4, together is enough to Recommend this movie !!!!! Milburn Stone was the Reverend - so hard not to see the tv show Gunsmoke’s Doc. Adams😊
My husband was born 1949,he was so fortunate to grow up in that era, he is a true gentleman that you see in the old day,im so lucky to see his family pictures and movies.
74 years later, some people are STILL denying science, especially in relation to the environment. The part when the dad sleeps through the sermon (the message that he, of all people, most needs to hear) is a perfect allegory for people these days who'd rather stay asleep than wake up and find out the reality that is affecting them.
thank you...others are missing that part and waxing about the 'good old days', not that the father was an ignorant tyrant. Selling the trees that will cause damage to his farm, after it was said he ruined many other farms
AN OUTSTANDING MOVIE ! ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING TO BELIEVE MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAY THIS WORLD CAN TURN AROUND AND WE COULD HAVE LIVES SO INNOCENT WITH GREAT DELIGHT ! THANK YOU FOR THIS FINE BLESSING ! 🐎*...
I gave birth to a precious daughter, Dec 19, 1986. I named her Natalie Jeanne, after Natalie Wood, because I loved her so much ❤️ My heart was broken when Natalie died such a tragic death. I haven’t gotten over it yet 💕🙏🙏
Same here - and my granddaughter is named after Natalie Wood too. I loved her and I was pregnant with my daughter and it bothered me whe Natalie died. How can her RJ be so insensitive with her? I won't forgive him ever.
I know I will enjoy this. I watched this many years ago. Since she made that movie & the terrifying bridge scene she was then terrified of drowning & always wore a bracelet on her wrist she broke because it didn't heal right. She was self-conscious of how it looked. ✌️👍
Yes, there really was a time when people came to the aid of those who had trouble.What a wonderful loving attitude, we have a hard cold unloving world without the feeling and actions of a good community. I guess, in some places it still exists but it is rather the exception than the rule. I cried at the end, it was so touching.
Good booster movie for the 4=H club. Natalie, was a cutie pie back in the day as a child actor. Walter was a darn good actor in his long long career. I just signed up as a subscriber. Thanks for posting a wholesome family movie. ❤❤👍👍
Am I the only one who wonders how hollywood get storms on cue, this was real, not sound effect, was it weathermodtechnology? Whatever the case, beautful Natalie Wood just a child of 9 or 10 depending when in 1948 this was filmed, went above and beyond acting in the storm scene for a child. The bridge was rigged to collapse after she crossed but the stunt went wrong [a stunt with a child sounds off the wall ] it collapsed during her crossing, dumping her into the water the fall injured her left wrist breaking it. It's amazing she managed to pull herself back up. So that scene was hardly acting on her part she must of been terrified when the bridge gave way, and had to struggle to get back up with a broken wrist, It's amazing she could do anything with the lambs after that. She clearly adored the Lambs in real life she was pretty taken by the bunnies earlier as well. Her mother never took her to the doctors to get her wrist set resulting in a distorted protruding wrist bone which she covered up with large cuff braclets for most of her tragical short life. MGM where the scene was shot, should of had Natalie's wriste checked & paid for her wrist to be set at the end of the storm scene.
She divorced RJ the first time when she caught him in bed with the butler. Years later when they met up again he told her he was cured from homosexuality by therapy and convinced her to marry him again. My belief about her death: She walked in on RJ and Walken on the boat that fateful night. She was so distraught she really did try to leave in a hurry and it just ended so badly. Or she told them both she was going to tell all and they offed her. When I learned of her death, it was the oddest thing...I felt deeply sad, almost as if I'd lost a sister. Of course, I'd never met her at all. What a beautiful soul, Natalie Wood.
What a great movie. I have always loved Natalie Wood as a child actress she was so remarkable. She never seemed to be just playing a part she truly became the character she was portraying from Miracle on 34th street and Splendor in the Grass. In this movie The Green Promise. The scene where a young Natalie Wood is supposed to run across a bridge. She was told that the bridge would collapse after she got to the other side, but there was an accident and the bridge collapsed while she was still on it. She broke her wrist and it never healed properly. She always wore Big chunky Bracelets in movies and real life to hide a protruding bone as she never had it fixed properly. Bless her soul for dying the way she did. I had a near death drowning experience at age 15 I will never forget the fear of fighting for a breath of air. Very scary but I had the most Amazing near death experience that helped me to not be afraid to die, My short life flashed in front of me like I was saying goodbye then I was looking at an angel across from me she was floating in the water in front of me when I was giving up and my life force soul was pulled from me and I left my body and I was embraced by her and watched myself falling into the 25 foot drop off until I was saved. that was 50 years ago. Needless to say I am not a water person. I Love dipping my feet but that's it. Natalie was a courageous child and an amazing actress.

Kids are busy thinking about sex and gender identity at a young age now, it's on the internet, tv, other kids. Shoved down everyone's throat. Sad.

Never heard of this movie. Thank you!! ❤
Born in 1953. These were the values I grew up in. Hard work in the real world. Love of God and country. We've slipped far from this. We now have a generation of narcissistic naval-gazers who believe the world owes them something...
Agreed. We live in crazy town, now. Smh
You can teach an old dog new tricks... after he learns his lesson.
Great movie. Always loved the happy endings in the old movies.
Thanks... That's Entertainment!
Luv lovely Natalie, what a wide range of emotions in every film.
Well.. I burst into tears when the whole town showed up with their tractors! This is how America was Built... with people who helped their neighbors and if the barn burned down..the townspeople neighors would come together and build another one for the devastated family.
Why have we forgotten this? ? ?
Greed took over. We starting seeing how making more money we have this and that!
What a good movie a lot of lessons to learn here! I can’t believe I’ve never seen this, thank you!
How wonderful to watch these older movies..thank you for posting..
When children were children, and not diagnosed with behavioral problems!
Our local hospital names it "The Behavioral Sciences Unit." Related, most laws that emanate from the US Congress also have similar misleading titles.
What a movie! Thank you. I love these old movies. Nothing in them you have to worry about seeing or hearing Just pure goodness.
Great movie! My own parents would be 1 year old when this movie came out. Most of what Hollywood was turning out was great in those days. Natalie Wood was such a great actress in her childhood!
Thank you as always! ❤️👍🏻
What a heartwarming and fun movie to watch. My husband was part of the SCS, now the NRCS, which deals with stewardship of the land. It was like listening to Thomas again. Thank you!
This is such a wonderful movies on so many different levels. I hope you watch it to discover them for yourself.❤
I appreciate the movie 🎥 it's like a symphony playing Beethoven.have a wonderful day.✝️
Thanks for the wonderful movie, much appreciated!!!
I never watched 1 movie, twice in one day
But Today I did. This movie !!! ❤️❤️❤️
What an absolutely Priceless Treasure !! And in so many ways, I could not list them all. Thank you.
Thank you for your efforts with showing such great classics. 😊😊😊
I just saw this for the first time and I Loved it so much!
What an absolute pearl of a movie.
Thank you so much for this movie!!! I enjoyed the story and very young Natalie Woods Bless her. She went a long way in her
Movie career!
There are so many more movies like this one and I looking forward to each and every one❣️❣️
I absolutely loved this movie. Thank you so much!
Thank you, PizzaFlix! I have always had a soft spot for Natalie. She survived much but, unfortunately, she couldn’t survive R.J.
Hi Eyegotcha -- for the longest time Audrey Hepburn was my favorite actress, but shortly before Natalie's death she became my first choice. She sure is adorable in this film.
@@PizzaFLIX If you liked Natalie Wood in this one, why don't you air, The Canterville Ghost. Margaret O'Brien is so adorable it hurts.
Natalie Wood was such a talented child actor. I have always enjoyed watching Marguerite Chapman as well, and you don't get a better actor than the great Walter Brennan. Add a great storyline to all the terrific actors and it makes for a wonderful movie.
A lovely old fashioned movie. Such a pleasure to watch
That was such a good movie. I love Natalie Wood.
What a charming story. Natalie shines as a child actress, as always. Thank you for posting ❤❤❤❤
What a great little actress Natalie was!!! 🥰
I always loved Natalie Wood. And the 1940's had some of the best movies.
When kids had purpose and honour for the greater good.
This is a good one, always great to see Natalie ❤. Thank you, Pizza Flix.
Thanks for posting! One of my all time favorite movies!!
A truly great film. Perfect in all ways. Love the story and acting was wonderful.

It's a beautiful movie to watch. Thank you.
I love this simply for the Topper Returns music at the beginning. 🙌
Hi Sabrina 🍕wow, never thought anyone would actual name the Classic Movie Monday music score.🍕
@PizzaFlix I am an old movie lover, and this brought me joy! 😁
I’m 80 years old and 6 when this film was made. My daddy was a coal miner and his greatest fear was drowning down in the mine if a rush of water flooded the mine. To this day, I have a fear of deep, dirty water. Why, because a year before when I was 5yo, my two older brothers took me out in a canoe, tossed me out into the water to teach me how to swim. I screamed before I hit the water and sank down into the murky bottom of the manmade lake. I don’t remember much but I can recall the horror of drowning as my heart stopped. My daddy witnessed this whole event as my brother jumped in and pulled my body up to the surface and was able to resuscitate me. Two years later, when I was 7yo, my daddy was killed in a mining accident. That was 73 years ago and I’m terrified to be close to any deep water. If Natalie was as panicked as I get around
deep water, I can understand how she was and how she had a panic attack and drowned when she tried to get back to shore and safety. Yes, the fear of drowning is a powerful emotion and she couldn’t escape from her demon , like I can’t from mine. RIP Natalie, as tears run down my cheeks.
✌️♥️♥️🥰🌌🌠🫵
Big hugs to you sweet soul 🤗 PRAYERS OF LOVE AND STRENGTH ♥ 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 I growing up in the 60s way better times 🤗 walking through wellington city in the 70s I looked across to see Rudolf Nuere ye walking by...in New Zealand..take care blessed soul ♥
@@terrylawrence8362 I actually know who you’re referring to because at one point in my young life, I wanted to do the same. Sadly being poor crushed that dream. If I remember correctly, I’ve seen him perform back in the day, as ballet is one of my passions, along with opera and any form of music. What will get the hair on my arms and neck to stand up is listening to a large full orchestra performing the William Tell Overture. Dang, now I’m hearing it in my head. Thank you for your kind words. Another favorite, The Blue Danube.
Dear Robert, it saddens me to hear your story entwined with that of Natalie Wood. I understand you. When I was very little, my cousins pushed me into the deep water of a swimming pool, I could not swim and I could have drowned. I was saved, but I had fear of water and have never been able to jump or dive into water, although I eventually learnt to swim around 15 years after the incident. I have never been comfortable around water. It's a tragic story indeed, your father died so very young, how awful it must have been for you. Natalie must have died indeed in a panic attack, just too tragic. I'm so sorry.....
@@alipalification Thank you for your kind words. You bring up a valid point in my life and Natalie’s. You yourself carry that same panicked moment with you for the rest of your life. That moment is the instant you hit the water and go under. It’s called the fight or flight reflex your brain has that kicks in. Whether to fight or run in any given moment of panic. The instant I hit the water and began to sink, with every ounce of power I had I struggled to get back to the surface. Only to inhale water instead of air and went down for the second and last time. Since you unknowingly remember your fight or flight moment and are still bothered by it, it will be a part of you till the day you die. Natalie almost drowned in the scene where the bridge breaks, her moment never left her and it most likely killed her when she actually drowned. The brain is a powerful part of the human body, it can heal it or self destruct and kill it. Thank you again.
Thank you for this wonderful movie.
Thank u pizzaflix n all the others that post these great classics The Golden Age of Hollywood is Gone With the Wind but it’s alive on utube because of those who care enough to bring these wonderful b/w beauties to old fans n new 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎬
What a sweet movie! And Natalie Wood didn't you all just fall in love with her? Such a fine young lady even at age 11, and a great actress too. Loved this movie and the message the Reverend made.
Good one, thanks!
Great movie! ❤
🥰Sweet movie ! Walter B. as the Papa and Natalie Wood is the youngest of 4, together is enough to Recommend this movie !!!!! Milburn Stone was the Reverend - so hard not to see the tv show Gunsmoke’s Doc. Adams😊
My husband was born 1949,he was so fortunate to grow up in that era, he is a true gentleman that you see in the old day,im so lucky to see his family pictures and movies.
74 years later, some people are STILL denying science, especially in relation to the environment. The part when the dad sleeps through the sermon (the message that he, of all people, most needs to hear) is a perfect allegory for people these days who'd rather stay asleep than wake up and find out the reality that is affecting them.
Yes !Yes !
Just learned today, Walter Brennan was the same way.
thank you...others are missing that part and waxing about the 'good old days', not that the father was an ignorant tyrant. Selling the trees that will cause damage to his farm, after it was said he ruined many other farms
Well said.
Right on!!!!!
Life has his ups and downs ,,,, Thanks for the GREAT upload ,,,,4/24/2023 ~~~
Excellent movie! Thank you!
First time I have seen this wonderful film. Thank you for the upload. Natalie simply shines, a great actress.
Top film. Wonderful experience...🇬🇧
Thanks never seen this either !
We had a little "Abigail " in our family.. his name was Toby
Sweet movie. Natalie Wood was just a natural.
AN OUTSTANDING MOVIE ! ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING TO BELIEVE MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAY THIS WORLD CAN TURN AROUND AND WE COULD HAVE LIVES SO INNOCENT WITH GREAT DELIGHT ! THANK YOU FOR THIS FINE BLESSING ! 🐎*...
If we destroy the Internet maybe just maybe this Country could turn back to the good old days
Little Natalie Wood was a genius - and too cute!
Natalie is wonderful in this film. What a joyful, angelic, huge! performance. Top 4 my favorite actresses.
I gave birth to a precious daughter, Dec 19, 1986. I named her Natalie Jeanne, after Natalie Wood, because I loved her so much ❤️ My heart was broken when Natalie died such a tragic death. I haven’t gotten over it yet 💕🙏🙏
Neither I and I'm sure the rest of her fans that loved her since she was a child. RIP - Natalie - we miss you!
I believe Natalie was murdered.
@@davidcopperfield-notthemag397 I do as well!! Something very “FISHY “ about the entire situation
Same here - and my granddaughter is named after Natalie Wood too. I loved her and I was pregnant with my daughter and it bothered me whe Natalie died. How can her RJ be so insensitive with her? I won't forgive him ever.
@@homegown1234 your right!! He and that other “KNUCKLEHEAD “ Christofer Walken KNOW EXACTLY what happened to Natalie 💕🙏🙏
What a wonderful movie, thanks for posting it!
Just wonderful movie💓
I've always loved this movie...so many lessons to learn from it. Number one, listen to other people. They may save your life!
I know I will enjoy this. I watched this many years ago. Since she made that movie & the terrifying bridge scene she was then terrified of drowning & always wore a bracelet on her wrist she broke because it didn't heal right. She was self-conscious of how it looked. ✌️👍
And then she DID die by drowning... How horrible!! 😢
@@KimF1 yes so very sad. She was a awesome & beautiful actress.
It's "... self-conscious..." Shirley😮
@@donnabaardsen5372 thanks English monitor. I'll tell my phone to hear me better when I tell it what to write.🤨
@@shirleyz7400 🤔😉🤣😂✌️♥️🥰🫵
Yes, there really was a time when people came to the aid of those who had trouble.What a wonderful loving attitude, we have a hard cold unloving world without the feeling and actions of a good community. I guess, in some places it still exists but it is rather the exception than the rule. I cried at the end, it was so touching.
Good booster movie for the 4=H club. Natalie, was a cutie pie back in the day as a child actor. Walter was a darn good actor in his long long career.
I just signed up as a subscriber. Thanks for posting a wholesome family movie. ❤❤👍👍
What a wonderful movie ! Made me laugh when the billow’s broke . Excellent
I had never heard about this movie and I enjoyed watching a wholesome thanks to you. God bless you!
👏👏👏 Very nice heartwarming movie. Thank you!
Am I the only one who wonders how hollywood get storms on cue, this was real, not sound effect, was it weathermodtechnology?
Whatever the case, beautful Natalie Wood just a child of 9 or 10 depending when in 1948 this was filmed, went above and beyond acting in the storm scene for a child. The bridge was rigged to collapse after she crossed but the stunt went wrong [a stunt with a child sounds off the wall ] it collapsed during her crossing, dumping her into the water the fall injured her left wrist breaking it. It's amazing she managed to pull herself back up.
So that scene was hardly acting on her part she must of been terrified when the bridge gave way, and had to struggle to get back up with a broken wrist, It's amazing she could do anything with the lambs after that. She clearly adored the Lambs in real life she was pretty
taken by the bunnies earlier as well.
Her mother never took her to the doctors to get her wrist set resulting in a distorted protruding wrist bone which she covered up with large cuff braclets for most of her tragical short life. MGM where the scene was shot, should of had Natalie's wriste checked & paid for her wrist to be set at the end of the storm scene.
Great movie. Thanks.
RIP Natalie, you die in a place that you most fear, what a tragic death, and until today is no ones fault still.
She divorced RJ the first time when she caught him in bed with the butler. Years later when they met up again he told her he was cured from homosexuality by therapy and convinced her to marry him again.
My belief about her death: She walked in on RJ and Walken on the boat that fateful night. She was so distraught she really did try to leave in a hurry and it just ended so badly.
Or she told them both she was going to tell all and they offed her.
When I learned of her death, it was the oddest thing...I felt deeply sad, almost as if I'd lost a sister. Of course, I'd never met her at all. What a beautiful soul, Natalie Wood.
So very very thankful for UA-cam. Love all the great oldies.
I really enjoyed this movie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Oh my word! What a delightful movie!
There will never be another Natalie wood s Michael Whitney they were so good no one can take there place
What a great movie. I have always loved Natalie Wood as a child actress she was so remarkable. She never seemed to be just playing a part she truly became the character she was portraying from Miracle on 34th street and Splendor in the Grass.
In this movie The Green Promise. The scene where a young Natalie Wood is supposed to run across a bridge. She was told that the bridge would collapse after she got to the other side, but there was an accident and the bridge collapsed while she was still on it. She broke her wrist and it never healed properly. She always wore Big chunky Bracelets in movies and real life to hide a protruding bone as she never had it fixed properly. Bless her soul for dying the way she did. I had a near death drowning experience at age 15 I will never forget the fear of fighting for a breath of air. Very scary but I had the most Amazing near death experience that helped me to not be afraid to die, My short life flashed in front of me like I was saying goodbye then I was looking at an angel across from me she was floating in the water in front of me when I was giving up and my life force soul was pulled from me and I left my body and I was embraced by her and watched myself falling into the 25 foot drop off until I was saved. that was 50 years ago. Needless to say I am not a water person. I Love dipping my feet but that's it. Natalie was a courageous child and an amazing actress.
Wow! What a sweet story! Thanks!!
