What a beautiful movie my most favorite movie of all even in life hardship they don't make movies like this fast pace cool world we live in.. for tomorrow is never promised tomorrow thank you for some type of Hope and a beautiful movie
O'Hara was very close to John Wayne, & a comfort to the duke on his death bed, he was skin, & bones; and her conversation helped him feel as if the end was still ages away.❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Dame Fay Compton hung out with the likes of Noel Coward and Orson Welles, was rarely out of work and she worked reallllly hard at being a great actress. One early scandal involving drugs at her party nearly ruined her, but she refused to be destroyed for something another person did at her house. Now we have many of her old films-TY!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this absolute gem with us! Best film I've seen in AGES. Bit odd finding it on a "westerns" channel, but a very happy find. More great old movies please! I've subscribed. Thank you again. 😊
Such a darling picture. The first time I watched it I didn’t realize that Dana Andrews played both parts - it’s kinda weird now to think I didn’t notice, but I’m thinking it must have been the voice-over in the first part (as the painter)
The Sow? She was Dame Sybil Thorndike, a very fine actress in some really scary makeup. During WWII, she and her husband were told their son was MIA/Presumed killed. Several weeks later, they learned he had been held prisoner, but he made it back home. She was no weakling, as this part showed. Like Dame Fay Compton and others early British Actresses, they were loved and respected when society was just 'allowing' that actors MAY be good people, too. Good women to read about, if you like that sort of thing...
@@es6544 How true! The internet/social media have millions of people that never learn how to form relationships with real people- they stay at home and adopt the 'personality' of their favorite stars. The Dumbing Down of America had a lot to do with TV/Movies taking people away from books and anything else that gets in the way of their "fun". Sad.
Wow what a brilliant movie. Epic! Loved every minute. I'm surprised I've never seen it before. Thankyou so much for making my afternoon such a delight.
Not that it matters to the enjoyment of the film BUT, I am a lifelong puppeteer who almost exclusively works marionettes, and though stringing them is time consuming, it would not take “weeks or months “ to string them (unless there are hundreds) also in shot where he works puppets for first time, it is not him working them, the puppet moves and his arm moves do not match, still it’s an ingenious shot that would fool most other people.
My sense was there may have been some Dickensian influence. A changing tide of fortune then the old sour. At the moment she had charged at him holding a pot and his hand rising, I thought oh no! Now a double murder and deeper in to the darker side of Old Britannia Mews. But it didn't happen so darkly, ending with smiles.
The Forbidden Street is a 1949 British melodrama film directed by Jean Negulesco and starring Dana Andrews, Maureen O'Hara, Sybil Thorndike, Fay Compton and A. E. Matthews. Set in Victorian London, it tells the story of a wealthy young woman who marries a poor drunken artist and struggles to make ends meet; after his death, she takes in a lodger, with whom she falls in love.[1] The film is based on the 1946 novel Britannia Mews by Margery Sharp.
These old movies have sp much humanity in them and very educational. Unfortunately today's movies are all about greed ,violence ,sex and Lach human touch .
Funny how Maureen Ohara being supported on UA-cam, and the just as good actresses and actors shy away from them. Since Hollywood can't come up with a worthwhile film lately, they live on old, 80/90 years old movie talents. These old actors and actresses can not charge any more for their fantastic movies, so they opened up the film library and thought this is how we can still live on without any talent, charging $5 $6 for each old film if they want to see actors like Gregory Peck, Doris Day, Carrie Grant, and the rest of them.
That Mews (before it was done up) reminds me of Paddys market in Glasgow - looked much the same - same kind of people - it closed down a few years back unfortunatly
I think Maureen O'Hara was stunning. She's at the top of my list of actors with beautiful facial bone structure. (Sophia Loren would be higher up if they hadn't gobbed the eye makeup on). Lots of others- who do you like best?
Great movie. I didn't like the strange dubbing of Dana in the beginning though, I know it was to make him be different, but I believe it didn't quite fit .
Really enjoyed the movie! It took me through the whole gamut of emotions and it was especially gratifying to see the " Sow" get smacked and gone from her life!😂😂 overall, a very enjoyable movie experience!❤
Lol. Literally, i asked myself if i should be enjoying watching a man smack a "woman" like he did....then i thought about how the sow, got what she deserved, just like Henry got what he deserved. That being said, i guess i was all right with it. Especially when Gilbert apologized for having to get rough with the sow. Good movie. Isn't it ironic how Henry was probably on the right track with the marionettes?
@@eddie1235 Yes but only for the version shown in the UK, for anywhere else they kept his own voice. He had trained for ages to speak with an English accent and was angry.
@@TheFiown Thanks for the reply Stephanie. I will watch it again with renewed interest. Must have been a huge task to complete both for him and dubbed actor, to say nothing of the technical side - all before modern technology. No wonder he was angry about UK release.
How "hollywood-lucky" she was to replace her jerk husband with an exact replica who was everything her hubby never was? (In London, a 'mews' was a street where there were stables below peoples' homes Some mews were fashionable, while others fell into disrepute, as here.)
Books and films are full of young women who are witty, bright, strong in character...this is a definite departure. The woman was weak, ignorant and downright stupid. It was almost painful watching her make stupid decisions and allowing others to shape her life. In that regard, it's a an accurate portrayal of a typical young lady. Apologies to the feminists...😏
The movies from the 50s especially are full of weak young women who are usually talked down to as if they were half-wits. It's very hard to watch, and makes you understand why the feminist movement was so needed . Yes, it would be great if we all followed the strong and brave examples , and also raised men who don't get off on diminishing women.
I'm a feminist and I agree with you. Men and women are so powerfully wired biologically to do the stupid things specific to each gender...sigh. Took me to over 60 to figure that out. And that's why most old people are called wise.
I don't agree. It showed a young person making rash decisions and confusing a crush with real love. I'm sure that still happens now. She was strong but naive.
I love to see women that look like ladies! It should be a law that every woman MUST dress beautifully on screen, it's the only reason to watch a movie! Too many producers and directors put guns, explosions, bad language and gore and forget to show beauty and romance.
Wonderful story! Maureen O'Hara is superb, as usual, with a marvelous assortment of supporting characters. Thoroughly enjoyed it!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
These movies calm my anxiety. It reminded me of my grandparents and living with them. I didn't like these then, but now they bring me comfort. ❤
That’s why I watch them also.
What a beautiful movie my most favorite movie of all even in life hardship they don't make movies like this fast pace cool world we live in.. for tomorrow is never promised tomorrow thank you for some type of Hope and a beautiful movie
Marlene O'Hara was such a beautiful lady and a good actor
It's Maureen O'hara
Maureen!
O'Hara was very close to John Wayne, & a comfort to the duke on his death bed, he was skin, & bones; and her conversation helped him feel as if the end was still ages away.❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
ACTRESS!
The mother Fay Compton was in hundreds of British films and played so many varied roles - a wonderful actress
Dame Fay Compton hung out with the likes of Noel Coward and Orson Welles, was rarely out of work and she worked reallllly hard at being a great actress. One early scandal involving drugs at her party nearly ruined her, but she refused to be destroyed for something another person did at her house. Now we have many of her old films-TY!
what a lovely movie! They did the right thing. Thank you for this great enjoyment.
Thank you for sharing this film. I had never seen it! It was delightful
Great film, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your time,first class.
I loved how she changed the whole street!!
And boy did it need changing..
I'm presently in a slum house..
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this absolute gem with us! Best film I've seen in AGES.

What an incredible movie! Loved it and Maureen O’Hara was just stupendous!! Also loved the set of where she lived, what a homey place.
With you all the way. Hollywood strikes again.
This was such a breath of fresh air, felt as though I found a treasure
Me too 🥰🤗

I think Valerie Hobson was a great screen and stage actress.
Yes you said it
And now actors and actresses dictate the public how to behave.

Ive seen it a few time before but i suddenly had the urge to watch it again - i have no idea why
Wow what a brilliant movie. Epic!
Loved every minute.

Yes, interesting. Thanks for the insight.
I like knowing these things. Thank you for sharing!
That was an awesome little movie. Thank you so much for sharing!
It was terrible that they dubbed Dana Andrews voice ,he had a lovely speaking voice.
Awful!
P.s. too bad about the ridiculous number of ads, though. i am glad i stuck it out. The movie was worth the interruptions.
Premium is worth it.
Dame Sybil! = such a joy in the acting department
Oh yes, always!
There's no other beautiful actress then O'hara
Thank you for the great movie.
❤
This was a great movie. Definitely took a different turn with Gilbert coming into the story. 😊
They used to make movies with such interesting themes.Thoroughly enjoyable.
Brilliant movie thanks for the upload excellent acting no bad language no sex scenes and a happy ending 💕💯😀
Wonderful story!
Wow a lot of twists and turns in that tale. Oddly seemed like something Dickens might have written if he had lived into the 20th century.
My sense was there may have been some Dickensian influence. A changing tide of fortune then the old sour. At the moment she had charged at him holding a pot and his hand rising, I thought oh no!

I was never a big Dana Andrews fan however i loved him in this film - his best film for me- in his later films i couldnt see past his ego sometimes
Dana ain't bad here but his character is not particularly likable- I rate LAURA and THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES as his finest hours.
I’ve never heard that one before (about his ego). Personally, I thoroughly enjoy him. I think Swamp Waters is my favorite.
Fallen Angel is by far his best performance in my opinion.
LOVE! Thanks for sharing.
These old movies have sp much humanity in them and very educational. Unfortunately today's movies are all about greed ,violence ,sex and Lach human touch .
Excellent!
I love this film, and I love them Puppets!
Very nice film
Gracias por compartir lo bueno es que tiene subtítulos en español.
Dana Andrews, with beard, etc looks quite Ronald Colmanish!
Thank you

Maureen of course, and Bette Davis of course. Also in a Lauren Baccall phase at the moment.
Ingredients Bergman too!
@@cloudberry27 Even Joan Crawford had a sculpted face (with a warped mind, apparently...lol ).
Rhonda Flemming...
@@agnesbonnetain8656 Definitely! :)
Olivia deHavilland
You guys should watch "only the lonely" with Maureen O'Hara John Candy and Anthony Quinn. It's sweet and funny
Why have they dubbed Dana Andrews voice!
Moral of the story?-
Think it through, know your worth and question strong emotions.
This was a nice movie.
Great movie.

Who did the voiceover for Dana Andrews?
They dubbed Andrews in this movie as he didn't sound 'English' enought, they didn't tell him.
Is this true?
@@eddie1235 Yes but only for the version shown in the UK, for anywhere else they kept his own voice. He had trained for ages to speak with an English accent and was angry.

Yeah. I noticed this right away. Bugs me.😂
Dan Andrews had a wonderful speaking voice. The producers ruined it by dubbing it. I'll watch the film but it is disconcerting.

Spoiler Alert: Dana Andrews reincarnation as another character in the film is undubbed.Ah, those mellow tones.
I wondered if his ‘first’ voice was dubbed now, you’ve confirmed it. Thank you!
Completely spoiled the film for me!

He thought he was still married until he discovered his wife had divorced him in America 3 years ago.
Finger curls! My sister was allowed them. Not, however, was I.

You stick to your presumed class. Class is a state of mind. I make a point of telling stuck up snobs just what they are.
