OMG! Liz was so beautiful in this movie it's almost painful to believe that a human being could look like that. She had an angelic quality about her that was totally gone by the time she did "Virginia Woolf" twelve years later. She was a lovely and gorgeous lady who devoted the last three decades of her life dedicating herself to combating AIDS. She was certainly the one of the great humanitarians of her time. The fact that people now live normal lives with AIDS is probably the greatest testimony to Elizabeth Taylor's greatness and impact on this world.
I don' t think it was gone ever ...its called makeup @acting in virginia wolf she had to gain many pounds in wieght ..so in my view i think she was beutiful inside @out to the end !!!!
True. she was still beautiful. It was all makeup..in 63 she played Cleopatra and I thought she was so beautiful it was crazy....so yes beautiful she most defiantly was....
Gosh I agree so much. The days when ladies were ladies pure elegance. Im 62 and I always remember my mother, never left the house without her lipstick on and a full face of make up every day. She always wore heels 👠 and slept in curling pins. Always very smart. She was born in 1926
Did you see, " Ivanhoe," with Elizabeth Taylor and Robert Taylor ( I think,)...we saw it at a drive-,in in Opa,-Locka when we were waiting for my father who wad flying in from Gitmo, Cuba....his plane was late so we went to see the movie...my little sister fell asleep in the back seat. We could afford the admission but nothing to eat...once the movie was over we headed back to the air field and waited. He finally came in and we headed home..It waz a good thing it was Fri....we all slept in. 1954 or 55 ...But I do remember how pretty ,Elizabeth was. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🦋🦋🎈🎈🎵🎵🌟🌟
@Frog Face you think black people in a movie reduced Hollywood to a joke rn? It's the lack of creativity, the toxic culture and the use of high tech. I can't stand them because of the poor storyline and all the noise, and of course the poor acting skills. You see much better movies from UK now and Asia is becoming a good provider as well. Can't wait for the African movie industry, it'll be interesting i can predict.
This is a must- watch film for any serious fan of American cinema & culture. How we saw ourselves, internationalism, fairness, committment to humanist values, patriotism, family, beauty, creativity. It's long, but it's deep. It's dramatic. It's beautiful. To be watched with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ( country folk vs. international Americans, South versus North, its all there). thank you UA-cam,
Love , Romance , Vengeance and Sentimental . So Classical and a first time watch. EXCELLENT MOVIE from Them. Thank You so Much. We misses Classic Movie's...
I still remember my grandparents crying together on their velvet couch while watching this. Jeez, whenever they babysit me before, Elizabeth Taylor films were playing on their TV 😆
Wiw, this video with actress Elizabeth Taylor revealed her true acting ability. Her magical beauty is indescribable! She gave so much bach as a humanitarian to the cause of HIV-AIDS.
Where has Hollywood gone...what wonderful productions...what beautiful people...the scripts, the direction, the scenery...my god it was as if you stepped into another world for a couple of hours...so many talented people of all nationalities working together....it makes you feel a little sad..like you want to relive the fantasy..and it was
The last time I saw this movie it was on the TV late show, and it was mercilessly shortened and chopped apart with commercials - - to the point where it didn't make sense. It's a pleasure to finally see it in the original full-length version. Thanks!!!
A remarkable person indeed. Glamourous beyond words and such a wonderful caring human being. Your legacy will endure through the years ahead. Rest in Peace Elizabeth you gave the world soo much.
When I was in my teens, my dad and I stayed up real late at night to watch this movie. It was such a sad ending. We both went out and got T-towels and bawled and bawled. Just one of those things you never forget - a special moment between my dad and myself.
@@proudlymadeinpoland Yep, they sure are. My dad just passed away in August at 85 years old. I miss him terribly and glad I have this good memory and many others of him to cling on to in his absense.
I have always been a fan of Elizabeth Taylor! She was a great actor and person. Before my Mom died she would watch all her movies with me. I always loved all the old time movies! They were classy actors even in the long ago shows! Love to watch the oldies and great movies.
A CLASSIC SAD MOVIE OF MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, ELIZABETH TAYLOR! I have seen this movie many times & still feel ' Heartbroken '. Now, she has a Happy Life in Heaven. (from my home ' The City of Angels, Bangkok ')
Very touching story! 🔥🔥🔥 It's not good for couples to let an issue linger for too long before they resolve it. One moment we are living and the next, we could be gone. Maybe if Charlie, had listened to Helen when she said she wanted to go home, they would not have had a huge fallout, which lead to her death. We should always treasure the time the universe has given us to share with our loved ones before it is suddenly snatched out of our hands. I can relate to Charlie's writer's struggle. The journey is always very tough. But once you've got it in you to write, you can never quit regardless of how many times your story is rejected. You may even be down sometimes and feel like giving up with an overwhelming emotions assailing from your perpetual failures, but you will always pick up yourself and keep writing until you have your break. Great premise!!! 👌👌👌
For those good old movies, you know almost every single one in the movies, including those co-starring .. For the movies in this new age.. you barely can call one name !! All the respect to the good old STARS !!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
My favorite Liz Taylor movie was Suddenly Last Summer. I must have seen it more than 15 times along with Butterfield 8 my other favorite of hers... She was a stunning woman to behold.
Indeed I could not agree with you more and in contrast Van Johnston was almost maudlin over emotional and annoying in his portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor's husband.Also poor casting with Elizabeth Taylor playing his shabbily treated and neglected wife.Please a man would have had to be completely brain dead to treat such a breathtakingly beautiful wife like that!Which is why I suspect it was such an easily forgotten film.Too many gaps all round.No way Donna Reed could have unrequited love for him.Ofcourse Montgomery Clift playing her husband might just have balanced out the whole thing.Alas one more movie bites the dust.C'est la vie
I watched this last night, I thought Elizabeth Taylor and Van Johnson were made for the parts they played! Love the one you're with, it can fall apart so easily. All you have left is regrets!
I read the comments and wondered what was to cry. Then I cried towards the end. What a godsend some people are. Unlocking old, rusted locks. Like Claude. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
what a wonderful movie! love Liz on it! it shows that open relationships bring nothing good; that leaving la vida loca not always is a good idea; that making your dreams come true it's difficult at times but we must not quit; that family is important; that children are important; making choices isn't something we must take slightly; love and admiration for our partners is important; loyalty and respect too; having clear boundaries in relationships save it from bigotry and narcissism; changes are good sometimes; drinking never lead you to forget or to be more creative, it makes you stupid and inrresponsible. and so much more. thanks for putting this one up.
The fit and color of her dress at the 45:00 mark is perfection, as is the black gown and placement of the diamond brooch at 1:13:00. Helen Rose made beautiful women even more so in these movies. I’d love to see a documentary of her work.
I disagree. Cosmetics and wardrobe were overdone on Taylor to the point of caricature. Her natural endowments were so spectacular that the attempt to over emphasize became detraction. It was a case of gild the lily
@@valkyriesardo278I disagree- at the time women wore makeup well- not like the trashy junk you see now. If she were a 'natural beauty' in France, she would have been drab with enough arm pit hair to braid.
I agree. Edith Head and the Westmores (wardrobe & makeup) were my favorites. Quality films always pay for the best, as they did here. I see most women today as being too lazy to wear a bit of makeup and clothing to cover them without being skin tight to accentuate their weight problems. Instead, they talk about being "natural" and look down on those of us who still have too much pride to go out looking like slobs.
The film was based on the novel “Babylon Revisited" written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was first published in 1930 after the stock market crash in Europe in 1929.
I wasn't born yet at this time when this filem was shown. I am an old man now, as this filem was a very long time ago. The world was already crowded with people. We can't imagine now on the world even more crowded with people.All the casts in this filem had died except the little girl. A nice movie to watch.
Dam I wish I was married to all 3 beautys Kim Novak, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe but I wouldn't allow them to drink or smoke early nights too ha ha
Also as simply human beings, you never know the terrible consequences when you're being cruel and a bitch to someone. Or a bully. You're probably killing that person, while having fun, playing games and lying. Her untimily tragic dead is a good example of the stupidity of such bullies... (although in the film the reason was different. They didn't have bullies everywhere as nowadays).
Heartbreaking and heartwarming! Heartbreak and tragedy from the foolishness of people chosing to be at odds with each other, all wrapped up in themselves. Finally heartwarming, when lessons are learned, people grow up emotionally, and go on to make a happy life with what they have left! Many thanks for posting this movie, always a joy to watch the beautiful and talented Elizabeth Taylor. 👏👍👍❤️
Well, the nasty person was the blond woman, right? He wasn't too guilty considering that he had this awfully difficult situation of his books repeatedly never getting published, I thought? Of course he never should have shutted her out. Now imagine that you really haven't anywhere or anyone to go to, and that you're 63, yu don't have strength anymore, and that they have stolen your home, house, and you just have some bags with the most indispensable things, and that they put you on the street all the time repeatedly in order for people just to have fun and laugh, in order just to mishandle you and step on you, and tell lies about you. It's happening right now and every single day to me: being awfully abused every single day for no reason, and having those things and much worst beeing done to me. While I write these very words, the people who do these things are playing music because they feel so proud of it. Heartbreaking and heartwarming? How about when it is in real life right before your eyes - and even much much worst? THAT should be really heartbreaking to any decent person.
The best ending that was TRULY TRULY TRULY ❤beautiful I am so GLAD 💜 that ❤ he got his ❤precious ♥ daughter ❤ back. 💖This 💜brought 😢 tears to my eyes 💖. Sincerely Minister 🌹 Donna C Eckhardt ❤ Founder of Effectual Fervent Prayer Ministry 🙏 .
She was a better actress back then, and her voice was far nicer than in later movies. Qualities she lost as she morphed into a mega celebrity. She was never as beautiful as she was here.
This was the Year (50's) that Elizabeth Taylor was well known and very popular as the most beautiful woman in the world. Men and Women adored her in her prime....
I love Donna Reed. Together with Jean Simmons, they are the best. Along with Jane Powell, Ann Blyth, Virginia Mayo. God bless them for all the joy they have given us.
@@casteretpollux-- yeah sweetie right down to fighting,bleeding and dying for THEM,their liberation and then watch them disintegrate into full blown bs from socialism to deliberate multi-culti crap favoring islam. Their damn films are the least of it.
Had a good cry. Never saw this movie before although I knew the title. Such a tragic story with a bitter-sweet ending. Surprised to see a young Roger Moore. And Eva Gabor.
i always shed a tear when i watch this moving film, also i love the songs . i spent a lot of time in Paris in the sixties, when it had a stronger French feeling than. now.
This was a very good movie it captured ones emotions . I was reminded of my own journey the last time i saw Berlin and the incredible unforgettable Love Affair i had with the most handsome charming elegant Gentleman i ever encountered . The first time i saw him he smiled at me across the room and i was immediately enchanted ,it was like he was waiting only for me . We were introduced and from that moment on we both knew our chemistry was undeniable . He was American visiting Berlin ,but he had only one more day in Berlin . We met on a Sunday evening and Monday would be his last day and he planned on to travel to Hamburg another great city in Germany . Now i had to make a decision , one day was just not enough to get to know each other and i thought it is best to leave this situation , because i saw no other way .There was another problem i did not speak English so we could not communicate very well a friend came to our aid and interpret some things we wanted to say to each other . Nevertheless i opted to leave , it was not easy to walk away from such a handsome gentleman and i will never forget the disappointment on his face Little that i knew the unusual event that would unfold the next day. It was Monday afternoon now and i had to visit my local Post-office to conduct some business. As i stepped in i was stopped in my tracks and i thought i am seeing a Mirage, but it was real there stood this handsome Gentleman from the evening before , but it was in a different part of the city . I wondered how could this be possible that we meet again at the same time of the day in the part of the city where i lived . At that moment i realized that something higher was in play i call it Fate .He immediately noticed me and came over to me laid his arm around me as to say :this time i am not letting you go .Our friend was also there we needed him to interpret again. RG wanted me to travel with him to Hamburg so we could spend the next 8 days together and he wanted also to be alone with me the rest of the day . My mind was racing and for some reason i agreed i could not turn back now. We left together purchased 2 dictionary's English / German & German /English that is how we started to communicate .We found a little cozy Cafe' and we had only eyes for each other RG would hold my hands and told me how happy he was that i wanted to be with him , of course it was mutual and our personality's matched so perfectly . Evening approached and now what, do i go home or stay with him at his hotel for the night, yes i stayed with him . It was a unforgettable night he was not only handsome ,but he also was a gentle attentive amazing lover. The only way i can explain it was sheer bliss Now Tuesday RG rented a car and of we drove to Hamburg and we had sunshine all the way . RG would always lovingly look over to me smile and reach for my hand and i could really see how happy he was of course so was I. We arrived at our destination and he told me that he would like to make me his wife before God as long as we are together , I was so touched my heart skipped a beat . It was a lovely small privately owned Hotel it was more like a home and so comfortable . Our time together was thrilling full of passion and our world stood still for that moment in time . (It was never duplicated in his life nor mine) Our hearts , emotions and body's were bonded in a way i never felt before nor after. After 7 magical days the time came when we had to say farewell .I decided to take the Train back to Berlin . RG took me to the Train Station purchased my ticked then we embraced and kissed for the last time I entered my compartment opened the window and he would immediately reach for my hand . As the train slowly started to move he would still hold my hand and moved with the train until the station ended and we had to let go . (Then i did not know if it would be forever) We waved as long as we could see each other and then suddenly the view changed . I took my seat and totally broke down my tears were flowing all the way back to Berlin . A few months later i received a letter from him telling me that it was the happiest time for him in his life he spend at my side in Berlin and he shall never forget it . He also ask me if i wanted to come to America to be with him . I wrote back but did not give him an answer , because i needed time to think about making potentially such a important decision . A few months later i received another letter and he basically asked me the same question and he wrote Remember You Were My Wife? I could not go to America at that time for several reasons. I know he wanted to get married and i was his choice . To be perfectly honest i had such a good life in Berlin and to leave everything behind and to venture out into the unknown of another country was daunting This was basically our last communication and i can only imagine how he felt and his thoughts. I kept his letters among my important papers for over 25+ years . Obviously we both moved on with our life's and 6 years later i married an American he lived in Berlin ,but later we moved to America and i immigrated .RG got married one year after we met to a nice lady , but their marriage ended after 8 years. Sad to say after 7 years i got divorced and that's when i started to search for my handsome unforgettable Lover not knowing what i would find . I was hesitant because i did not wanted to interrupt his present life . While searching on line i could not find him under his name that i had and that was on his letters . I could not understand the reason only later i found out he changed the last letter of his last name from a "Y" to an "I" that is why i did not get any result . After about 2 years searching on and off i came across a site called Legacy and for some unknown reason only God knows i clicked on it and what i saw shocked me to the core and the pain that pierced my heart i can't form in words, it was His Legacy / Obituary he died of a sudden fatal Heart Attack in June 2015 . I saw all the names of his family on the obituary and on the bottom was a Phone # and i called that # because i just had to find out all i could and i also had so many questions. A lady answered and i asked her if it was her husband on the Obituary and she said it was her Ex-husband . I told her who i was and she was very gracious , we talked for a long time and she told me everything i wanted to know all about their life's together (most of the time it was not happy) She shared a lot with me and It became clear to me they were not very compatible and many romantic ingredients were missing. That is when i realized that the ultimate happiness eluded RG and me , because i truly believe we were meant for each other , BUT,,,,,,,,, I became close friends with his ex-wife it was truly a miracle and she also introduced me to her grown Son they had together . He is almost as handsome as his Father and as we talked and i shared my story with him a bonding took place between us and he even welcomed me to the family .it was a incredible unexpected touching moment I was overwhelmed sad and happy at the same time . He also shared with me that his father before he died told him about the happiest time he spend in Germany with a beautiful lady and he never could forget her . I was overjoyed to hear that, than i knew he kept his word what he wrote to me in his letters that he shall never forget me and he took it with him into eternity ! Needless to say he will live in my heart until it is my time to leave this earth ! I wrote this in loving memory to the most incredible and extremely exiting loving handsome man that ever graced my life. ( He was a young Cary Grant look alike) . I watched the movie "In Name Only" with Cary Grant and Carol Lombard and i thought i saw my unforgettable Lover Just a small detail , we met once in June, he died in June and i found (him) his obituary in June 2018 My only regret that i did not find him before he died , it will stay always with me ........I can truly say now to my eternal love we have not missed that "Many Splendored Thing",,,,,,,,,,,,
@Kim A thank you so very much for your lovely comment . This my story was just told in a nut shell . There was much more to the 8 days then i told. Those 8 days with the most incredible handsome exiting kind passionate loving man had a lifelong impact on me . Retracing my steps and comparing it to his , we had similar unhappy experiences during our separate journey with others and the ultimate happiness in our separate life's eluded us both ! I know fate brought us together and the decision so long ago i have made kept us apart and now i am left with the word "IF" since i know now that he never forgotten me , It is to late eternity is forever !
@Kim A I am just reading your comment and i like to say i only regret that i did not find him a few years before he died ,we were both single then . I came to terms with the decision i made over 30 years ago , if i had said yes and gone to America then it would have altered both out life's history . He made me his wife before God for the 7 days in Hamburg and he reminded me of that in his letters . All i know for sure now that fate brought us together and then fate intervened and kept us apart . This amazing interlude had an effect on our future life without us realizing it. Apart ,true happiness eluded us both . I can say this with certainty because i know now his history and it is very similar to mine ! Kim if you don't mind i would like to share the very beginning of our unusual first meeting on a warm summer evening in June . I walked into a Bistro just to have a bite to eat . I took my place on the bar and as i looked to my right there sat this incredible handsome stranger in the corner and he smiled at me , he looked very much like a young Cary Grant without the cleft in his chin. Needless to say i was taken by what i saw . The bartender came over to me and informed me that the handsome stranger invited me to join him . My mind was racing and i accepted that invitation . Now we came face to face , but he only spoke English and I did not at that time .Since he befriended the bartender and he spoke English he did interpret some of what we needed to say . Of course not speaking the same language made it very difficult to continue . Peter the bartender told me that R.G will only be one more day in Berlin and than he will travel to Hamburg . So because of knowing that there was no need for me to stay any longer ,even though i was totally enchanted with this handsome stranger . I told him goodbye and wished him well . I will never forget the disappointment on his face . I was a bit sad , but i thought it was for the best little that i knew at that time . The next day a Monday afternoon i had to go to the local post office to send a letter to Italy where i was on vacation just a few weeks past . As i walked into the post office I was stunned there in the middle of the room stood handsome R.G , he immediately saw me and came over put his arm around me and motioned that this time he is not letting me get away . I was puzzled how it was possible for him to be at this post office at the same time , because the evening before we met in a different part of town and his hotel is also in a different part of the city . Peter the bartender was also there , R.G told him to tell me that he would like to spend time with me and also invited me to travel with him to Hamburg the next day . I was so overwhelmed my head was spinning . Finally i agreed to spend time with him , but we had to go to a bookstore and get English/German dictionary's . Then we went to a restaurant and we had only eyes for each other , we did not need many words . Now evening approached and i had to decide to go home or stay with R.G . Well we both went to his Hotel and spend the night together and to say the least it was sheer bliss . He was not only so very handsome he also was a incredible attentive lover and he made my world stand still . The next day he rented a car and we traveled to Hamburg . It was a wonderful trip we were both so happy and R.G always smiled at me .Once we arrived in Hamburg and found our Hotel it was small and family owned . Our room was so cozy and comfortable it felt like home and like i already said he made me his wife before God. The next 7 Days became unforgettable , our chemistry was undeniable from the very beginning and our happiness had no bounds . Now the 7 days and our once in a lifetime unforgettable Love Affair came to an end and i had to return back to Berlin and R.G had to go back to America . I decided to take a Train and R.G went with me to the station he bought my ticket and then we had one last Hug & Kiss . I boarded the Train found my compartment opened the window and R.G was reaching for my hand . The train very slowly started to move and R.G held on to my hand and moved with the Train until the station came to an end he had to let go of my hand . We waved to each other as long as we could see each other and than all of a sudden i could not see him anymore . I took my seat and totally broke down the pain i felt in my heart at that moment i can't put in words . It became very clear to me that i never would see my unforgettable handsome Lover again ! The rest is history now and what we both experienced and the love we had for each other was never duplicated , not in his life nor in mine ! I shared this story in my loving memory of the most incredible handsome man that ever graced my life for a moment in time and my heart will always silently ache ! God bless you Kim !
@Sian Dyas thank you for your kind words . It was not even the whole love story i wrote and yes you are right i was blessed to have known the most incredible loving ,attentive exiting handsome man ,nobody ever could take his place ! Now knowing how his life went what his ex-wife shared with me , i can safely say we both never found the ultimate happiness apart from each other ,because our personality's blended perfectly and our chemistry was over the top . It was truly a Once in a Lifetime unforgettable Love Affair ! Take care and God bless you !
I remember seeing this movie as a girl and absolutely falling in love with it. Equal parts of joy and the despair, the story moved me to tears. Make sure you have a full box of Kleenex along with your popcorn.
Elizabeth did some of her best acting in this film, before she knew she was "Elizabeth Taylor." She was just so natural and unpretentious in this movie. I loved her in everything, but this one is really good. No matter how many times I watch it, I cry.
Interesting that Elizabeth often got pneumonia in her life and nearly died. Broke her spine in National Velvet was always incredible thought the pain she lived with and was a great support to Montgomery Clift when he was disfigured in his car accident and raised awareness for her friend Rock Hudson when AIDS first hit
Anyone who was that physically beautiful could have been selfish and unkind but it was the complete opposite of that! Though she was not perfect she was a good and loyal friend!
@@terryblack2844 Except for what she did to Debbie Reynolds. I still think Elizabeth was the top of the list with a very special unique beauty - especially at this time of her life.
A great story. Loved the post war scenes of Paris. My father was in the Pacific - his little brother was in the army in Paris at the liberation - attended the FDR memorial service at Notre Dame. Had a love affair with a French girl. - the experience of a life time. But the bottle got him. In 1957 he jumped to his death from a building in Seattle.
Sorry about your loss, back in the day. And yes, a loss like this hurts for as long as we are still here. There can never be any consolation for the loss of loved ones. Life is just a raindrop on the Pacific Ocean, relative to Eternity. So many seem to lose sight of that fact and regard life as interminable because they have problems. Everyone in the world has problems, we are meant to have them and overcome them, it seems.
Don't let your father's life go unrecorded. This sounds like a nice story that should be written down. I would love to read it after you have written it. You know how to reach me.
So real in many ways. Couples pull apart like rubber bands, sometimes they are close, sometimes far apart. One takes a left turn, the other a right, they somehow miss each others needs when they need them heard the most urgently and if it happens too often, even the strongest bonds can break. There must be millions of stories out there in the world like that. Someone said to me once, sometimes love isn't enough.... thats what this movie said to me... Love Paris, Love Elizabeth and Van's sincerity was palpable. Beautiful pathos, beautiful film.
Ishi Lala I'm can relate.. I missed my chance with my bf back in the 60s, we both went different ways and I often wonder how he is.. he tried to see me a few times but I was already married. I'm now a widow and wonder if Id married him would I'd not be Alone. He was my age , marrying an older guy left me a widow too soon. My hubby was 10'years older than me and passed away .. I miss him terribly. But I've had two great loves in my lifetime.. which is more than some people ..
It was so tragic, wasn't it, to see their pain pull them apart, but for me there was redemption. They realised again how much they loved each other and how deep it was. They found each other before she died and you could see that for her at least that was all that mattered. I imagined her taking that on into her next life! And him on into the rest of his. Anyway, gosh this film got to me!
HOW BEAUTIFUL LIZ TAYLOR WAS IN THIS MOVIE! AND AN ASTOUNDING ACTRESS! ALL THE ACTING INCLUDING THE LITTLE GIRL IS SUPERB! I ALWAYS LOVED THIS MOVIE...IT'S ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE ALONG WITH CLEOPATRA AND BUTTERFIELD 8... THANKS FOR THE AWESOME UPLOAD!
Most people might think I'm crazy but as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor is, I go for Donna Reed. Although she did play an unlikable character in this movie.
Yes, Donna Reed had a way of looking daggers with her eyes and expressing negativity with minimal overt movements. Ms Taylor did one thing I never did like. She had spread fingers in her hand movements when caressing men. It's in every movie she ever made.. supposed to express passion otherwise Liz was underrated.inmy opinion 😊😊😊
What I believe Donna Reed brings is a natural fresh appealing young woman that lights up the screen like those stars who share that particular appeal-like Teresa Wright and Dorothy McGuire which I happen to like these wonderful actresses. Unfortunately, Shirley Temple wasn't given enough opportunity to see if she could carry a movie. She would have been among these stars but she didn't make enough movies to provide more input she too was a natural even as a child. She should be given a lot of credit for saving Fox Network during the Great Depression and how they pay her but terminating her contract once she got too old to play a child anymore. I felt they sabotage her career. However, she handled things with grace and acceptance and I admire Shirley Temple for how she accomplished more than other actresses if they have been in her shoes. A great lady she was.
this movie made me cry :( Why does she die??? why ??? Thank you so much for given me the opportunity to see this beautiful romantic and dramatic movie !!!
When you see Liz and today's Botox women you begin to see the REAL BEAUTY, she was indeed the most beautiful woman of her time and I cannot name anyone now that resembles her astonishing beauty! In addition to that she was also a good person and mother, Rip Liz, NEVER FORGOTTEN!
It was so nice seeing beautiful women back then that didn't ok cookie cutter with botox lips, nose jobs. Boob jobs etc. Elizabeth Taylor was so beautiful. I don't know who even compares
Elizabeth was to being beautiful, what an ostrich is to being ugly...She was one of a kind, and she had the most stunning pair of violet eyes ever to grace the silver screen...R.I.P.
I wasn't alive when this movie came out, but I love him, everything about the 50s and the 60s makes me so excited like I lived these decades. My dad and my mom often say that maybe I was from these decades in my past life, and often I dream about it. I'm thirteen years old, but I love vintage stuff.
OMG! Liz was so beautiful in this movie it's almost painful to believe that a human being could look like that. She had an angelic quality about her that was totally gone by the time she did "Virginia Woolf" twelve years later. She was a lovely and gorgeous lady who devoted the last three decades of her life dedicating herself to combating AIDS. She was certainly the one of the great humanitarians of her time. The fact that people now live normal lives with AIDS is probably the greatest testimony to Elizabeth Taylor's greatness and impact on this world.
Donna Reed was also stunningly beautiful as her sister
I don' t think it was gone ever ...its called makeup @acting in virginia wolf she had to gain many pounds in wieght ..so in my view i think she was beutiful inside @out to the end !!!!
True. she was still beautiful. It was all makeup..in 63 she played Cleopatra and I thought she was so beautiful it was crazy....so yes beautiful she most defiantly was....
Watch her in Father of the Bride and the noir film A Place in the Sun. She’s so beautiful it’s almost painful to watch her.
I just don't understand how she could get involved with Larry Fortensky.
The stars of the past were more beautiful than today
Gosh I agree so much. The days when ladies were ladies pure elegance. Im 62 and I always remember my mother, never left the house without her lipstick on and a full face of make up every day. She always wore heels 👠 and slept in curling pins. Always very smart. She was born in 1926
@@ericaj.m.1780 It is so nice to read your commentary.
💗💗💗
Tell me about it. We could never go back!

What a beautiful classic movie. Once a person falls in love with these he\she will never get back to the modern artificial movies.
Love the classic movies. They don't make movies like this anymore.
Did you see, " Ivanhoe," with Elizabeth Taylor and Robert Taylor ( I think,)...we saw it at a drive-,in in Opa,-Locka when we were waiting for my father who wad flying in from Gitmo, Cuba....his plane was late so we went to see the movie...my little sister fell asleep in the back seat. We could afford the admission but nothing to eat...once the movie was over we headed back to the air field and waited. He finally came in and we headed home..It waz a good thing it was Fri....we all slept in. 1954 or 55 ...But I do remember how pretty ,Elizabeth was. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🦋🦋🎈🎈🎵🎵🌟🌟
Yes true

Yes!!!!! Elizabeth is in a handful, and not many more. Just a handful, but man is she in it
@Frog Face you think black people in a movie reduced Hollywood to a joke rn? It's the lack of creativity, the toxic culture and the use of high tech. I can't stand them because of the poor storyline and all the noise, and of course the poor acting skills. You see much better movies from UK now and Asia is becoming a good provider as well. Can't wait for the African movie industry, it'll be interesting i can predict.
OMG I had forgotten how these wonderful old movies make me cry. I haven't had a good cry in a movie for years. So So beautiful.
Thank you for allowing us to watch this beautiful movie free
This is a must- watch film for any serious fan of American cinema & culture. How we saw ourselves, internationalism, fairness, committment to humanist values, patriotism, family, beauty, creativity. It's long, but it's deep. It's dramatic. It's beautiful. To be watched with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ( country folk vs. international Americans, South versus North, its all there). thank you UA-cam,
What a beauty to behold. She could make, even a mediocre movie, memorable. Indisputable talent, unsurpassed by anyone, in my humble opinion. Miss her.
And mediocre this was. The cast deserved better.
Not only beautiful, but good actress too. Very nice movie. Thanks for sharing.
Love , Romance , Vengeance and Sentimental . So Classical and a first time watch. EXCELLENT MOVIE from Them. Thank You so Much. We misses Classic Movie's...
I still remember my grandparents crying together on their velvet couch while watching this. Jeez, whenever they babysit me before, Elizabeth Taylor films were playing on their TV 😆
Mmobires
so sweet.
Beautiful movie, great acting.... a breathtakingly beautiful Elizabeth Taylor. Thank you so much for posting.
Hello Renuka,
How are you doing ?
Wiw, this video with actress Elizabeth Taylor revealed her true acting ability. Her magical beauty is indescribable! She gave so much bach as a humanitarian to the cause of HIV-AIDS.
Where has Hollywood gone...what wonderful productions...what beautiful people...the scripts, the direction, the scenery...my god it was as if you stepped into another world for a couple of hours...so many talented people of all nationalities working together....it makes you feel a little sad..like you want to relive the fantasy..and it was
The last time I saw this movie it was on the TV late show, and it was mercilessly shortened and chopped apart with commercials - - to the point where it didn't make sense. It's a pleasure to finally see it in the original full-length version. Thanks!!!
A remarkable person indeed. Glamourous beyond words and such a wonderful caring human being. Your legacy will endure through the years ahead. Rest in Peace Elizabeth you gave the world soo much.
When I was in my teens, my dad and I stayed up real late at night to watch this movie. It was such a sad ending. We both went out and got T-towels and bawled and bawled. Just one of those things you never forget - a special moment between my dad and myself.
Such moments are memorable:)
@@proudlymadeinpoland Yep, they sure are. My dad just passed away in August at 85 years old. I miss him terribly and glad I have this good memory and many others of him to cling on to in his absense.
@@susandudak59 I'm sorry...my dad died at 64 after a long disease . I also have some good memories with him. Take Care!!! Kisses from Poland!
What a beautiful story,. I miss my dad too.
Lucky girl, Susan. What a beautiful memory. 💕🍀😘
Roger Moore and a Gabor sister, what a movie! Walter Pigeon, Liz, and Van, WOW and of course Donna Reed!
Elizabeth Taylor is stunningly beautiful & photogenic. I once saw a photo from Walgreen's of her that was breathtaking! ❤️
I have always been a fan of Elizabeth Taylor! She was a great actor and person. Before my Mom died she would watch all her movies with me. I always loved all the old time movies! They were classy actors even in the long ago shows! Love to watch the oldies and great movies.
The more I watch classic movies the more I crave more of them. Such a sad story and love-life relevant too :(
Hi Layla, where are you from?
What a good movie. Better than 90% of what I have seen in years. What a beauty both women were, especially Ms. Taylor.
I met her personally at a Rodeo in Tucson, Arizona . Petite and beautiful "lilac" eyes I was participating in the Rodeo Love her pictures
Wow how old are you sir. Love from India
@@vette7074 Violet eyes - yes. Met her at West End party - always lovely
Have always loved her ' lilac' eyes! Loved we got to watch Liz grow up before our eyes!
What year did you meet her?
'Lilac' wow
A CLASSIC SAD MOVIE OF MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, ELIZABETH TAYLOR! I have seen this movie many times & still feel ' Heartbroken '. Now, she has a Happy Life in Heaven. (from my home ' The City of Angels, Bangkok ')
Very touching story! 🔥🔥🔥 It's not good for couples to let an issue linger for too long before they resolve it. One moment we are living and the next, we could be gone. Maybe if Charlie, had listened to Helen when she said she wanted to go home, they would not have had a huge fallout, which lead to her death. We should always treasure the time the universe has given us to share with our loved ones before it is suddenly snatched out of our hands.
I can relate to Charlie's writer's struggle. The journey is always very tough. But once you've got it in you to write, you can never quit regardless of how many times your story is rejected. You may even be down sometimes and feel like giving up with an overwhelming emotions assailing from your perpetual failures, but you will always pick up yourself and keep writing until you have your break.
Great premise!!! 👌👌👌
For those good old movies, you know almost every single one in the movies, including those co-starring .. For the movies in this new age.. you barely can call one name !! All the respect to the good old STARS !!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
My favorite Liz Taylor movie was Suddenly Last Summer. I must have seen it more than 15 times along with Butterfield 8 my other favorite of hers... She was a stunning woman to behold.
This movie is not even good; it is insufferable, rather. Suddenly Last Summer is a great movie.
I wish they still made movies like this. Thank you for sharing this classic. :)
Thank you for sharing this film; my heart is breaking!!!!

It is a wonderful movie. In addition, Elizabeth Taylor performance is amazing !
I live in Paris now...... love watching all kinds of movies on Paris.... makes me feel that I AM part of history the is bigger than me!!
I love Walter Pidgeon!!! Even as a supporting character, his presence in a film is powerful. Suave, sophisticated, debonair. What a star!!
Indeed I could not agree with you more and in contrast Van Johnston was almost maudlin over emotional and annoying in his portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor's husband.Also poor casting with Elizabeth Taylor playing his shabbily treated and neglected wife.Please a man would have had to be completely brain dead to treat such a breathtakingly beautiful wife like that!Which is why I suspect it was such an easily forgotten film.Too many gaps all round.No way Donna Reed could have unrequited love for him.Ofcourse Montgomery Clift playing her husband might just have balanced out the whole thing.Alas one more movie bites the dust.C'est la vie
Agree 👍
Walter Pidgeon, one of my all time favourites.
Yeah, he is so much better suited to this film then Van
@@bluewrenreilly129 Maybe the girls all had a problem because all 3 men were gay in “real life”. Great actors!
My father loved this movie. He said it was the saddest movie he ever saw.
I saw Elizabeth Taylor in a mall in Kitchener Ontario in the 1980s. She was wearing a white fur coat and was absolutely breath takingly beautiful.
In the 80s! 😂
@@kathleencampbell2298 she was always beautiful even as an old lady
All these posts about how beautiful Liz is and forgets the loveliness of Donna Reed...
Too late 2 kiss her now
Would u jumped

What’s funny ?
Always wait until the person you drop off enters their destination, especially during snowstorms
I watched this last night, I thought Elizabeth Taylor and Van Johnson were made for the parts they played! Love the one you're with, it can fall apart so easily. All you have left is regrets!
It’s lovely to see Paris in the 1950s as it WAS! I miss these times so badly!
Hello Connie, How are you doing?
I read the comments and wondered what was to cry. Then I cried towards the end. What a godsend some people are. Unlocking old, rusted locks. Like Claude. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for sharing this movie that I love.I really enjoyed it!💕
What a fabulous beautiful wonderful movie. Thoroughly enjoyed
what a wonderful movie! love Liz on it! it shows that open relationships bring nothing good; that leaving la vida loca not always is a good idea; that making your dreams come true it's difficult at times but we must not quit; that family is important; that children are important; making choices isn't something we must take slightly; love and admiration for our partners is important; loyalty and respect too; having clear boundaries in relationships save it from bigotry and narcissism; changes are good sometimes; drinking never lead you to forget or to be more creative, it makes you stupid and inrresponsible. and so much more. thanks for putting this one up.
Great picture! My wife and I enjoyed it very much! Thanks for posting this video footage
Dame Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful and very kind. She will always be one of my favorites.
How riches can destroy lives, and how love overcomes all - a beautiful movie, thank you!
The fit and color of her dress at the 45:00 mark is perfection, as is the black gown and placement of the diamond brooch at 1:13:00. Helen Rose made beautiful women even more so in these movies. I’d love to see a documentary of her work.
I disagree. Cosmetics and wardrobe were overdone on Taylor to the point of caricature. Her natural endowments were so spectacular that the attempt to over emphasize became detraction. It was a case of gild the lily
@@valkyriesardo278I disagree- at the time women wore makeup well- not like the trashy junk you see now. If she were a 'natural beauty' in France, she would have been drab with enough arm pit hair to braid.
I agree. Edith Head and the Westmores (wardrobe & makeup) were my favorites. Quality films always pay for the best, as they did here. I see most women today as being too lazy to wear a bit of makeup and clothing to cover them without being skin tight to accentuate their weight problems. Instead, they talk about being "natural" and look down on those of us who still have too much pride to go out looking like slobs.
Edith head was another designer that could make a beautiful woman look even More beautiful
A great film with great actors and actresses,!!!Forever!!!!
The film was based on the novel “Babylon Revisited" written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was first published in 1930 after the stock market crash in Europe in 1929.
It took me a second to realize the tennis player was a VERY young Roger Moore. Cheerio!
I wasn't born yet at this time when this filem was shown. I am an old man now, as this filem was a very long time ago. The world was already crowded with people. We can't imagine now on the world even more crowded with people.All the casts in this filem had died except the little girl.
A nice movie to watch.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS MOVIE👏👍👏
Our loved ones are precious, always hold them dear, not for granted, you never know when it will be your last moment together.
Yea.
Also as simply human beings, you never know the terrible consequences when you're being cruel and a bitch to someone. Or a bully. You're probably killing that person, while having fun, playing games and lying.
Her untimily tragic dead is a good example of the stupidity of such bullies... (although in the film the reason was different. They didn't have bullies everywhere as nowadays).
Heartbreaking and heartwarming! Heartbreak and tragedy from the foolishness of people chosing to be at odds with each other, all wrapped up in themselves. Finally heartwarming, when lessons are learned, people grow up emotionally, and go on to make a happy life with what they have left! Many thanks for posting this movie, always a joy to watch the beautiful and talented Elizabeth Taylor. 👏👍👍❤️
Well, the nasty person was the blond woman, right? He wasn't too guilty considering that he had this awfully difficult situation of his books repeatedly never getting published, I thought?
Of course he never should have shutted her out.
Now imagine that you really haven't anywhere or anyone to go to, and that you're 63, yu don't have strength anymore, and that they have stolen your home, house, and you just have some bags with the most indispensable things, and that they put you on the street all the time repeatedly in order for people just to have fun and laugh, in order just to mishandle you and step on you, and tell lies about you.
It's happening right now and every single day to me: being awfully abused every single day for no reason, and having those things and much worst beeing done to me.
While I write these very words, the people who do these things are playing music because they feel so proud of it.
Heartbreaking and heartwarming? How about when it is in real life right before your eyes - and even much much worst? THAT should be really heartbreaking to any decent person.

She was a better actress back then, and her voice was far nicer than in later movies. Qualities she lost as she morphed into a mega celebrity. She was never as beautiful as she was here.

This was the Year (50's) that Elizabeth Taylor was well known and very popular as the most beautiful woman in the world. Men and Women adored her in her prime....
Not THIS man.
moggs - sure you were not born in 50's generation!!!!!
I was born in 86 and i am in awe of how beautiful she was. I watch her movies at night. Silly as it sounds it gives me a really calm feeling.
i love and adore her still
Why do we say in her prime, like it's the best moment of her life, can't women be beautiful in a different way as they age!
I love Donna Reed. Together with Jean Simmons, they are the best. Along with Jane Powell, Ann Blyth, Virginia Mayo. God bless them for all the joy they have given us.
Elizabeth Taylor such an Icon, her beauty is so unique, she's so stunning!! I really prefer Golden Age of Hollywood than new Generation of Hollywood
Elizabeth is wonderfully natural in this movie. One of her underrated performances.
Five years in Paris and he still refuses to speak French. No wonder he can't write.
U.S. cultural imperialism. And eventually it worked. Just look at the state of the once-glorious French film industry.
@@casteretpollux All Western Europe has become this way - cultural genocide in the name of globalism.

Julie Brown agree totally they don't make movies like they used too
Had a good cry. Never saw this movie before although I knew the title. Such a tragic story with a bitter-sweet ending. Surprised to see a young Roger Moore. And Eva Gabor.
i always shed a tear when i watch this moving film, also i love the songs . i spent a lot of time in Paris in the sixties, when it had a stronger French feeling than. now.
Movies like these I can watch everyday, thanks a lot.
I liked her the best like Cat Maggie with Paul Newman...it was so magic between them. I have goose pipes till now 😊❤️🥰
This was a very good movie it captured ones emotions . I was reminded of my own journey the last time i saw Berlin and the incredible unforgettable Love Affair i had with the most handsome charming elegant Gentleman i ever encountered . The first time i saw him he smiled at me across the room and i was immediately enchanted ,it was like he was waiting only for me . We were introduced and from that moment on we both knew our chemistry was undeniable . He was American visiting Berlin ,but he had only one more day in Berlin . We met on a Sunday evening and Monday would be his last day and he planned on to travel to Hamburg another great city in Germany . Now i had to make a decision , one day was just not enough to get to know each other and i thought it is best to leave this situation , because i saw no other way .There was another problem i did not speak English so we could not communicate very well a friend came to our aid and interpret some things we wanted to say to each other . Nevertheless i opted to leave , it was not easy to walk away from such a handsome gentleman and i will never forget the disappointment on his face Little that i knew the unusual event that would unfold the next day. It was Monday afternoon now and i had to visit my local Post-office to conduct some business. As i stepped in i was stopped in my tracks and i thought i am seeing a Mirage, but it was real there stood this handsome Gentleman from the evening before , but it was in a different part of the city . I wondered how could this be possible that we meet again at the same time of the day in the part of the city where i lived . At that moment i realized that something higher was in play i call it Fate .He immediately noticed me and came over to me laid his arm around me as to say :this time i am not letting you go .Our friend was also there we needed him to interpret again. RG wanted me to travel with him to Hamburg so we could spend the next 8 days together and he wanted also to be alone with me the rest of the day . My mind was racing and for some reason i agreed i could not turn back now. We left together purchased 2 dictionary's English / German & German /English that is how we started to communicate .We found a little cozy Cafe' and we had only eyes for each other RG would hold my hands and told me how happy he was that i wanted to be with him , of course it was mutual and our personality's matched so perfectly . Evening approached and now what, do i go home or stay with him at his hotel for the night, yes i stayed with him . It was a unforgettable night he was not only handsome ,but he also was a gentle attentive amazing lover. The only way i can explain it was sheer bliss Now Tuesday RG rented a car and of we drove to Hamburg and we had sunshine all the way . RG would always lovingly look over to me smile and reach for my hand and i could really see how happy he was of course so was I. We arrived at our destination and he told me that he would like to make me his wife before God as long as we are together , I was so touched my heart skipped a beat . It was a lovely small privately owned Hotel it was more like a home and so comfortable . Our time together was thrilling full of passion and our world stood still for that moment in time . (It was never duplicated in his life nor mine) Our hearts , emotions and body's were bonded in a way i never felt before nor after. After 7 magical days the time came when we had to say farewell .I decided to take the Train back to Berlin . RG took me to the Train Station purchased my ticked then we embraced and kissed for the last time I entered my compartment opened the window and he would immediately reach for my hand . As the train slowly started to move he would still hold my hand and moved with the train until the station ended and we had to let go . (Then i did not know if it would be forever) We waved as long as we could see each other and then suddenly the view changed . I took my seat and totally broke down my tears were flowing all the way back to Berlin . A few months later i received a letter from him telling me that it was the happiest time for him in his life he spend at my side in Berlin and he shall never forget it . He also ask me if i wanted to come to America to be with him . I wrote back but did not give him an answer , because i needed time to think about making potentially such a important decision . A few months later i received another letter and he basically asked me the same question and he wrote Remember You Were My Wife? I could not go to America at that time for several reasons. I know he wanted to get married and i was his choice . To be perfectly honest i had such a good life in Berlin and to leave everything behind and to venture out into the unknown of another country was daunting This was basically our last communication and i can only imagine how he felt and his thoughts. I kept his letters among my important papers for over 25+ years . Obviously we both moved on with our life's and 6 years later i married an American he lived in Berlin ,but later we moved to America and i immigrated .RG got married one year after we met to a nice lady , but their marriage ended after 8 years. Sad to say after 7 years i got divorced and that's when i started to search for my handsome unforgettable Lover not knowing what i would find . I was hesitant because i did not wanted to interrupt his present life . While searching on line i could not find him under his name that i had and that was on his letters . I could not understand the reason only later i found out he changed the last letter of his last name from a "Y" to an "I" that is why i did not get any result . After about 2 years searching on and off i came across a site called Legacy and for some unknown reason only God knows i clicked on it and what i saw shocked me to the core and the pain that pierced my heart i can't form in words, it was His Legacy / Obituary he died of a sudden fatal Heart Attack in June 2015 . I saw all the names of his family on the obituary and on the bottom was a Phone # and i called that # because i just had to find out all i could and i also had so many questions. A lady answered and i asked her if it was her husband on the Obituary and she said it was her Ex-husband . I told her who i was and she was very gracious , we talked for a long time and she told me everything i wanted to know all about their life's together (most of the time it was not happy) She shared a lot with me and It became clear to me they were not very compatible and many romantic ingredients were missing. That is when i realized that the ultimate happiness eluded RG and me , because i truly believe we were meant for each other , BUT,,,,,,,,, I became close friends with his ex-wife it was truly a miracle and she also introduced me to her grown Son they had together . He is almost as handsome as his Father and as we talked and i shared my story with him a bonding took place between us and he even welcomed me to the family .it was a incredible unexpected touching moment I was overwhelmed sad and happy at the same time . He also shared with me that his father before he died told him about the happiest time he spend in Germany with a beautiful lady and he never could forget her . I was overjoyed to hear that, than i knew he kept his word what he wrote to me in his letters that he shall never forget me and he took it with him into eternity ! Needless to say he will live in my heart until it is my time to leave this earth ! I wrote this in loving memory to the most incredible and extremely exiting loving handsome man that ever graced my life. ( He was a young Cary Grant look alike) . I watched the movie "In Name Only" with Cary Grant and Carol Lombard and i thought i saw my unforgettable Lover Just a small detail , we met once in June, he died in June and i found (him) his obituary in June 2018
My only regret that i did not find him before he died , it will stay always with me ........I can truly say now to my eternal love we have not missed that "Many Splendored Thing",,,,,,,,,,,,
@Kim A thank you so very much for your lovely comment . This my story was just told in a nut shell . There was much more to the 8 days then i told. Those 8 days with the most incredible handsome exiting kind passionate loving man had a lifelong impact on me . Retracing my steps and comparing it to his , we had similar unhappy experiences during our separate journey with others and the ultimate happiness in our separate life's eluded us both ! I know fate brought us together and the decision so long ago i have made kept us apart and now i am left with the word "IF" since i know now that he never forgotten me , It is to late eternity is forever !
@Kim A I am just reading your comment and i like to say i only regret that i did not find him a few years before he died ,we were both single then . I came to terms with the decision i made over 30 years ago , if i had said yes and gone to America then it would have altered both out life's history . He made me his wife before God for the 7 days in Hamburg and he reminded me of that in his letters . All i know for sure now that fate brought us together and then fate intervened and kept us apart . This amazing interlude had an effect on our future life without us realizing it. Apart ,true happiness eluded us both . I can say this with certainty because i know now his history and it is very similar to mine !
Kim if you don't mind i would like to share the very beginning of our unusual first meeting on a warm summer evening in June . I walked into a Bistro just to have a bite to eat . I took my place on the bar and as i looked to my right there sat this incredible handsome stranger in the corner and he smiled at me , he looked very much like a young Cary Grant without the cleft in his chin. Needless to say i was taken by what i saw . The bartender came over to me and informed me that the handsome stranger invited me to join him . My mind was racing and i accepted that invitation . Now we came face to face , but he only spoke English and I did not at that time .Since he befriended the bartender and he spoke English he did interpret some of what we needed to say . Of course not speaking the same language made it very difficult to continue . Peter the bartender told me that R.G will only be one more day in Berlin and than he will travel to Hamburg . So because of knowing that there was no need for me to stay any longer ,even though i was totally enchanted with this handsome stranger . I told him goodbye and wished him well . I will never forget the disappointment on his face . I was a bit sad , but i thought it was for the best little that i knew at that time .
The next day a Monday afternoon i had to go to the local post office to send a letter to Italy where i was on vacation just a few weeks past . As i walked into the post office I was stunned there in the middle of the room stood handsome R.G , he immediately saw me and came over put his arm around me and motioned that this time he is not letting me get away . I was puzzled how it was possible for him to be at this post office at the same time , because the evening before we met in a different part of town and his hotel is also in a different part of the city . Peter the bartender was also there , R.G told him to tell me that he would like to spend time with me and also invited me to travel with him to Hamburg the next day . I was so overwhelmed my head was spinning . Finally i agreed to spend time with him , but we had to go to a bookstore and get English/German dictionary's . Then we went to a restaurant and we had only eyes for each other , we did not need many words . Now evening approached and i had to decide to go home or stay with R.G . Well we both went to his Hotel and spend the night together and to say the least it was sheer bliss . He was not only so very handsome he also was a incredible attentive lover and he made my world stand still .
The next day he rented a car and we traveled to Hamburg . It was a wonderful trip we were both so happy and R.G always smiled at me .Once we arrived in Hamburg and found our Hotel it was small and family owned . Our room was so cozy and comfortable it felt like home and like i already said he made me his wife before God. The next 7 Days became unforgettable , our chemistry was undeniable from the very beginning and our happiness had no bounds . Now the 7 days and our once in a lifetime unforgettable Love Affair came to an end and i had to return back to Berlin and R.G had to go back to America . I decided to take a Train and R.G went with me to the station he bought my ticket and then we had one last Hug & Kiss . I boarded the Train found my compartment opened the window and R.G was reaching for my hand . The train very slowly started to move and R.G held on to my hand and moved with the Train until the station came to an end he had to let go of my hand . We waved to each other as long as we could see each other and than all of a sudden i could not see him anymore . I took my seat and totally broke down the pain i felt in my heart at that moment i can't put in words . It became very clear to me that i never would see my unforgettable handsome Lover again !
The rest is history now and what we both experienced and the love we had for each other was never duplicated , not in his life nor in mine ! I shared this story in my loving memory of the most incredible handsome man that ever graced my life for a moment in time and my heart will always silently ache ! God bless you Kim !
Thank you for sharing your amazing story.
@@juneci2674 thank you for reading , there is actually much more to my story so i just shared it in a nutshell . Bless you !
@Sian Dyas thank you for your kind words . It was not even the whole love story i wrote and yes you are right i was blessed to have known the most incredible loving ,attentive exiting handsome man ,nobody ever could take his place ! Now knowing how his life went what his ex-wife shared with me , i can safely say we both never found the ultimate happiness apart from each other ,because our personality's blended perfectly and our chemistry was over the top . It was truly a Once in a Lifetime unforgettable Love Affair ! Take care and God bless you !
I bet she didn’t even know how beautiful she was!! Her eyes and everything else! Her humor too! :)
She knew...
I SAW THIS FILM EIGHT YEARS OLD AND REMEMBER IT.
I remember seeing this movie as a girl and absolutely falling in love with it. Equal parts of joy and the despair, the story moved me to tears. Make sure you have a full box of Kleenex along with your popcorn.
Oh dear where are the tissues......I forgot what a lovely movie this is. Such classic acting, enjoy.
Elizabeth did some of her best acting in this film, before she knew she was "Elizabeth Taylor." She was just so natural and unpretentious in this movie. I loved her in everything, but this one is really good. No matter how many times I watch it, I cry.
Hello Marilyn,
How are you doing ?
A true classic, starring the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor 😍😘
Loved the red dress 😍 the clothes were absolutely gorgeous.
Interesting that Elizabeth often got pneumonia in her life and nearly died. Broke her spine in National Velvet was always incredible thought the pain she lived with and was a great support to Montgomery Clift when he was disfigured in his car accident and raised awareness for her friend Rock Hudson when AIDS first hit
She was a loyal friend
Elizabeth was a true humanitarian, selfless to the very end. I was so pleased when she was finally Knighted. Dame Elizabeth sounds just grand to me.
Anyone who was that physically beautiful could have been selfish and unkind but it was the complete opposite of that! Though she was not perfect she was a good and loyal friend!

@@terryblack2844 Except for what she did to Debbie Reynolds. I still think Elizabeth was the top of the list with a very special unique beauty - especially at this time of her life.
A great story. Loved the post war scenes of Paris. My father was in the Pacific - his little brother was in the army in Paris at the liberation - attended the FDR memorial service at Notre Dame. Had a love affair with a French girl. - the experience of a life time. But the bottle got him. In 1957 he jumped to his death from a building in Seattle.
Mac a'Bhaird: Wow, i'm so sorry .
😞😞😞
Sorry about your loss, back in the day. And yes, a loss like this hurts for as long as we are still here.
There can never be any consolation for the loss of loved ones. Life is just a raindrop on the Pacific Ocean, relative to Eternity. So many seem to lose sight of that fact and regard life as interminable because they have problems. Everyone in the world has problems, we are meant to have them and overcome them, it seems.
Don't let your father's life go unrecorded. This sounds like a nice story that should be written down. I would love to read it after you have written it. You know how to reach me.
Mac a'Bhaird that’s a sad end. Heart breaking.
So real in many ways. Couples pull apart like rubber bands, sometimes they are close, sometimes far apart. One takes a left turn, the other a right, they somehow miss each others needs when they need them heard the most urgently and if it happens too often, even the strongest bonds can break. There must be millions of stories out there in the world like that. Someone said to me once, sometimes love isn't enough.... thats what this movie said to me... Love Paris, Love Elizabeth and Van's sincerity was palpable. Beautiful pathos, beautiful film.
Ishi Lala I'm can relate.. I missed my chance with my bf back in the 60s, we both went different ways and I often wonder how he is.. he tried to see me a few times but I was already married. I'm now a widow and wonder if Id married him would I'd not be Alone. He was my age , marrying an older guy left me a widow too soon. My hubby was 10'years older than me and passed away .. I miss him terribly. But I've had two great loves in my lifetime.. which is more than some people ..
Ishi Lala Love conquers all? Not!!!
Gatamona1945 You are lucky
It was so tragic, wasn't it, to see their pain pull them apart, but for me there was redemption. They realised again how much they loved each other and how deep it was. They found each other before she died and you could see that for her at least that was all that mattered. I imagined her taking that on into her next life! And him on into the rest of his. Anyway, gosh this film got to me!
Ishi Lala ...you said that so very beautifully. Thank you.
This woman's beauty could have launched a thousand ships.
I think it did
Yes ! In 1950s she was in her prime of beauty. Everyone who grew up in 1950s knew that Elizabeth Taylor is the most beautiful woman in the world.
HOW BEAUTIFUL LIZ TAYLOR WAS IN THIS MOVIE! AND AN ASTOUNDING ACTRESS! ALL THE ACTING INCLUDING THE LITTLE GIRL IS SUPERB! I ALWAYS LOVED THIS MOVIE...IT'S ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE ALONG WITH CLEOPATRA AND BUTTERFIELD 8... THANKS FOR THE AWESOME UPLOAD!
she is the greatest ever im in love with her and i wish i had been burton
Who knew Roger Moore would become so famous.
it depends on what they are willing to ''do''. so you can imagine the higher they go - the higher the price to pay
Well it was obvious that Roger Moore would become famous with his stunningly good looks and charm
Most people might think I'm crazy but as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor is, I go for Donna Reed. Although she did play an unlikable character in this movie.
Yes, Donna Reed had a way of looking daggers with her eyes and expressing negativity with minimal overt movements. Ms Taylor did one thing I never did like. She had spread fingers in her hand movements when caressing men. It's in every movie she ever made.. supposed to express passion otherwise Liz was underrated.inmy opinion 😊😊😊
What I believe Donna Reed brings is a natural fresh appealing young woman that lights up the screen like those stars who share that particular appeal-like Teresa Wright and Dorothy McGuire which I happen to like these wonderful actresses. Unfortunately, Shirley Temple wasn't given enough opportunity to see if she could carry a movie. She would have been among these stars but she didn't make enough movies to provide more input she too was a natural even as a child. She should be given a lot of credit for saving Fox Network during the Great Depression and how they pay her but terminating her contract once she got too old to play a child anymore. I felt they sabotage her career. However, she handled things with grace and acceptance and I admire Shirley Temple for how she accomplished more than other actresses if they have been in her shoes. A great lady she was.
I saw one her first movies Life with Father. She was just starting to bloom. I don't think I be ever seen anyonemore beautiful
Hello Janice, How are you doing?
this movie made me cry :(
Why does she die??? why ??? Thank you so much for given me the opportunity to see this beautiful romantic and dramatic movie !!!
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
Spoiler !!!!
One of my favorite movies... Beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, Van Johnson
When you see Liz and today's Botox women you begin to see the REAL BEAUTY, she was indeed the most beautiful woman of her time and I cannot name anyone now that resembles her astonishing beauty! In addition to that she was also a good person and mother, Rip Liz, NEVER FORGOTTEN!
It was so nice seeing beautiful women back then that didn't ok cookie cutter with botox lips, nose jobs. Boob jobs etc. Elizabeth Taylor was so beautiful. I don't know who even compares
Questo film l'ho visto tantissime volte in TV su rete 4 e molto bello 👍 Elisabeth Taylor straordinariamente bellissima 🌹♥️ attori magnifici.
E. Liz just looked like an angel, beautiful inside out!
Sad story that she wasn’t there to the end 😰
I enjoy humming the music as I go through my day. Elizabeth is enchanting.
Kurt Kasznar is so young in this movie, I first became familiar with him in the 60's Sci-fi TV series Land of the Giants.
Didnt know it rained that much in Paris....I love the rain.
I never saw chemistry between Van Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor and didn’t understand the casting of them as a couple.
Elizabeth was to being beautiful, what an ostrich is to being ugly...She was one of a kind, and she had the most stunning pair of violet eyes ever to grace the silver screen...R.I.P.
I still remember this from when I was 10 years old!!
Hello Nancy,
How are you doing ?
❤️
I wasn't alive when this movie came out, but I love him, everything about the 50s and the 60s makes me so excited like I lived these decades. My dad and my mom often say that maybe I was from these decades in my past life, and often I dream about it. I'm thirteen years old, but I love vintage stuff.
@@palemoon7865 I'm also the very same. I'm 1991 born (30 now) and I also like the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and some stuff of 80s and 90s and that's it.
Thank you PizzaFlix. I had never seen this movie before and it was quite the revelation.
Merci infiniment pour ce très beau film
This picture very much helped shape a generation of young women to form a vision for themselves facing an unknown future. . .
A very good movie especially the last few scenes made it extraordinary.
I remember this movie, I love this movie! It's a beautiful movie! Thanks for posting this one!
Hello Annabelle,
