The role that made Louise Brooks a star, and its easy to see why. She's introduced in the last third of the movie in what is basically a standalone segment. Here it is in its entirety. - Комедії
I can only imagine how much she must've stood out at the time, because she still manages to have a "modern" look nearly a century later.
Nearly 90 years after this film, Louise Brooks' potent sex appeal is still off the scale!
Yes she’s gorgeous!
Every time I see her, I can't take my eyes off her. She's like a powerful magnet.
fantastic, it's all in the eyes with louise, and a dancers body. she was panned in her day for her laid back style of acting, but it was way ahead of it's time, so much more natural and realistic than her contemporaries. and it's no wonder louise was a goddess, completely comfortable with her body and sexuality, her camera presence was mesmerizing.
Each and every time I'm able to view footage of this era I feel sooo homesick..
I believe I'm alive at the wrong time..
Or missing a past life.
And she is one of the BEST
..timeless...perfect
I swear I feel the same way I’m so intrigued with past life!
She's gorgeous.
Louise brooks is eye catching once she walked into a room all eyes on her.
Perfino in un cortometraggio come questo, Louise Brooks riesce ad abbagliarci con un fascino irresistibile, senza tempo, da quella Star di prima grandezza quale è! Grazie per il filmato
Prego. Era una bellezza straordinaria e davanti al suo tempo.
Wonderful lady only word is she is forever an icon x
A girl long dead has my heart. No woman living today can hold a candle to her. I'm fucked.
Tragic isn't it? When women long dead still captivate one's heart and you know there is nothing that can be done.
I feel the exact same way about Eleanor Powell. Thankfully I can still enjoy her films, thus my love for her will never cease.
You’re in lust with an image and persona
@Anita Bonghit I have the oddest feeling maybe not such an odd feeling that I wouldn't like you that I wouldn't like you at all very strange I like so many people
😂😂😂❤
Wonderful Louise Brooks.
A stunningly beautiful and perfectly proportioned woman.
Holy crap, that’s Victor Mclaghen from The Quiet Man!
Same mannerisms too!
Yes, that was a surprise.Never knew he started in silent film...his early talkie in "Gunga Din" with Cary Grant and Douglas Fairbanks jf was shown a lot in the 1950's Saturday TV matinees.
i so agree.. she is on my time machine bang list too
Howard Hawks directed Marilyn Monroe 25 years later in GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES. The camera loved Louise Brooks and Marilyn Monroe.
I've always loved LuLu❤️
Wow awesome classic Louise Brooks is awesome
She broke many hearts on screen and off. She is proof that a woman doesn't have to show a lot of skin or have big boobs in order to be incredibly sexy.
OMG i dunno how she can go up that high i dont do heights she is brave
The stunt double is brave. Louise in the close ups.
Louise Brooks is a top-shelf first-rate platinum beauty. Miss Louise is just out of this world steller. She's what Chachi said about Joni "WA! WA! WA!" to which I would add " Mercy day! Mercy day! Lord have mercy!
Que cuerpo atletico de Louise para esa epoca de los 20's.
Era bailarina desde chica y había bailado con algunos conocidos ballets de la época incluída Martha Graham.
Before or since, few women photographed like Louise. Go ahead drag out any of the 'top' women of Hollywood today and put them next to Louise's work....WEAK!
I've never seen a Victor McLaglen silent before. he was in the silent version of lon chaney's The Unholy 3 which also starred harry earles as a thief disguised as a baby. and I thought that was Robert armsrtong from king kong and The Most Dangerous game. louise brooks? what else can I say that hasn't already been said. she had a history similar to francis farmer. they both said, screw this movie star crap if it means giving up my freedom! kudos to them both. thanks for the video.
What is a time machine bang list? If it is anything like a fantasy of having sex with Lulu then it is mutually shared. You can not look at some of her still pictures and films without falling in love with Louise Brooks
is that the guy who brought Kong back? Robert Armstrong?
Surprised me too. I had no idea he'd had a career in silent films. I'd always thought he came into films from radio or the stage.
"The 8th wonder of the world!" Sure is!.
Louise Brooks makes you want to stare at her, her sex appeal is off the charts-her legs are amazing. They knew just how to dress her!
I don't have anything to say to you Louise you decide jimi you our such a mystery to me
I notice Spike's friend "Bill" went on later to capture and exploit the heck out of King Kong. Louise was so beautiful, and here, like Sue Lyon in "Lolita," she affirms my bad feelings about women cheating and playing men for fools. I want never to be so vulnerable. Alas.
"time machine bang list" ROFL!!!
with Robert armstrong
Watch this now because this video will be cancelled at some point in todays world :'(
Don't think much pf the ending... I was waiting for the showdown.
Not bad for a Kansas girl.
so thats a silent film..c ool
Wow what a stupid ending. I enjoyed this so much, but that anti-climatic end. So ridiculous! LOL
NO WONDER SHE LEFT PARAMOUNT AND MOVED TO EUROPE TO MAKE SERIOUS FILMS...MARILYN MONROE DID THE SAME IN 1955...THIS NOT A TALKIE AS HAS BEEN DESCRIBED....
I want to know what happened to the big wad of cash in his wet jacket
Looks like paranoia and suspicion guides the UA-cam algorithms, now. 😆
Didn't know Howard Hawks did silent movies.
Hawks had already been in films about fifteen years when he made this picture.
@@TricksterDa WOW, I didn't know he went that far back. I knew John Ford, directed silent's.
@@garrettdavis6500 , well, I should apologize. My math was a little off. I had Hawks beginning his career in 1913, but it was actually 1917, so it was more like eleven years experience when he made this picture with Louise Brooks.
@@garrettdavis6500 Howard Hawks, John Ford, William Wellman and George Stevens all began their careers in silents and all came to the motion picture industry from fields unrelated to cinema.
So they go gay?
On the contrary, Louise Brooks should be what inspires to go back in time and kill Hitler and go forward in time and kill Hitler. Louise Brooks is every little Jewish girl given half a chance. She is impersonated by Claire Bloom who is still very much alive and carries on the Louise Brooks tradition. Kitty Carlisle looked like this in the Twenties but was encouraged to change her looks.
Kitty Carlisle? A wanna-be with all the sex appeal, beauty, and talent of a mop. She was a climber who married gay Moss Hart in order to get ahead in New York society. Moss Hart left her nothing in his will, and she spent the rest of her life after his death working for peanuts on game shows and the lecture circuit so she could keep up the illusion of a society matron. Louise Brooks was an incredible beauty and sex icon. Kitty Carlisle was a nobody.
@@thom6746 So true. So true. I would add that she spent her `remaining years` exploiting the legacy of Moss Hart. She had a facelift late in life that went wrong. But somehow and I hate to sound like a ghoul it seemed fitting.
@@sandrashevey8252 I read her autobiography. She made no bones about being a social climber and marrying Moss Hart because he was the most prominent single male still available in the social circle she listed to join. That he was gay was irrelevant. That Hart left her nothing in his will speaks volumes.
@@thom6746 Gessus..actually my comment about Kitty was ingenuous. I met her first when working as Barbara Walter`s PA. She was a guest on `Emphasis` when NBC radio was still live. I met her again years later when she performed at the Lincoln Centre Library (works by Moss Hart) I mentioned the resemblance as I recalled a photo I had once seen of Kitty when she was dating a Brazilian consul in Rome I think. Her hair was cut with fringe (later trademark of Brooks) For some reason religion was an issue and she was dumped by the consul. She ended up marrying a gay Jew. Sad I think. Very sad. Awful that he left her nothing. Why?
@@sandrashevey8252 she wasn't even mentioned in his will which he redid a few months before he died. He left it all to the kids. He was in therapy for his issues 5 days a week. And she once demanded he start telling her what he talked about in therapy. He refused and things got chilly afterward. Supposedly, his gay theatre friends convinced him that she only married him for money and status and that she was too worldy not to know that he was gay when they married. There are also letters where Kitty heaped contempt on almost everyone she knew in nyc and pretended to be friends with.
