My late father told of the time when, as a young soldier, he and some friends, in uniform, were waiting for a ferry in the cold and rain and Gracie took them to a cafe to warm up with tea and cakes.
Sing as we Go, never fails to remind me of my grandmother. She worked at the Bolton Cotton Spinning Mill where they filmed. As the factory girls left work, one climbed on a motor bike to the cheers of others. My father always used to point her out in the scene. It's hard to believe it was over 90 years ago now, but it's an instant reminder of her when I hear the song as the girls went up the hill after work at the mill.
I saw Gracie Field in "Holy matrimony" and "Molly and me" during the pandemic, when youtube was my substitute for moviegoing at the theaters, which were closed. I also enjoyed Monty Woolley in these movies. Those were good times for movies. They could tell a story in 90 minutes, Nowadays they take much longer and say less
Good film but there was a reason that she was so famous, she had a distinctive voice which they have not done in this film unless they dubbed originals over twice when the sound was missing,
I wish I could pin this comment: To all the moaners - the sound cuts out for copyright reasons. You want a free movie, you don't pay copyright fees. OK?
Edith Piaf liked to laugh. Judy Garland starred in 'Judgement At Nuremburg' That was after the facts as we have received them. Pope Franco, Witchcraft is Extra Terrorestrial Coming Bacon Kevin Home Alone Back In The New York Groove!❤
Love this! Jane Horracks does a BRILLIANT job as Gracie & really gets her personality down pat. 👏🏽❤ *Wonderful Parkinson interview here with the real Gracie herself - ua-cam.com/video/9z2RAUBBSdk/v-deo.html

Beautiful little film about a great British icon of the 1930s and 1940s. Lovely performances from the leads especially Jane Horrocks.
The first time I heard Gracie Fields was on an original 78 RPM record of The Greatest Aspidistra In The World. Loved her ever since.
met her on capri she was charming and knew my home town of preston we spoke for around 30 minutes
At one time the highest paid star in the world!
Lovely movie.. Thank's for sharing ❤
Some songs are silent, probably to remain on UA-cam. Thank you for uploading.
Sadly some asinine 'censor' has cut the sound in several sections of this link... what a mean and antisocial thing to do!!!
True, but the asinine "censor" likely knew what to remove for copy write reasons or the film would have been removed.
It’s to avoid copyright. People who want things for free, seem very ignorant about the cost.
@@Kate-lk6tw Yeah - but copyright on songs this old is wrong.
Lots audio 56:55-58:15. I guess the song was not allowed. And then another 1:13:04-1:15:15. Almost to the end; kind of annoying.

Why do they have to cut the audio? At the very important point!
Because it’s avoiding copyright! You free ride, you endure some inconvenience. Or you pay.
@@Kate-lk6twsongs over 30 years are not subject to copyright.
Sound craps out for two important songs toward the end.
Good film but there was a reason that she was so famous, she had a distinctive voice which they have not done in this film unless they dubbed originals over twice when the sound was missing,
She was tremendous! Was this the only movie?
Last Song No Sound
Was it woke yet removing the lyrics?
It was annoying to have not sound twice !
Like Cilla and Lulu, Gracie had a ghastly voice but bags of energy - and like Cilla and Lulu, Gracie was unique, which is what counts.
Cilla and Lulu? Typical English tone deafness. Your arrogant take is spectacularly wrong.
I agree with your assessment of Cilla's voice but Lulu had a voice as did Gracie. It was a vaudeville voice for the end of the pier show.
@@normanmeharry58 Cilla and Lulu had wonderful voices.
🤣 1:15:07 no sound on any of these songs😂
Horrocks is a very good actor but hasn't got Field's singing voice.
That’s because she’s not Gracie Fields!

NOT OK : if they can't show the movie properly, don't show it .
Edith Piaf liked to laugh. Judy Garland starred in 'Judgement At Nuremburg'
That was after the facts as we have received them.
Pope Franco, Witchcraft is Extra Terrorestrial Coming Bacon Kevin Home Alone Back In The New York Groove!❤
Beautiful film but why did the sound keep going out?
To avoid copyright strike on the music and removal of movie from YT.
Kept losing sound ...spoiling a lovely film
End also cut short
It’s so it can be free! If you want it perfect, pay for it.
Why do people cut the sound in the middle of films? what's it all about?
Copyright.
'Maintaining radio silence', as in keeping with the era.
Love this! Jane Horracks does a BRILLIANT job as Gracie & really gets her personality down pat. 👏🏽❤
