I had never heard of this movie - or seen it - before today. The film quality is so good, it's hard to believe it's 90-spmething years old! Thank you for providing viewers a chance to see Cary Grant's early career achievements. Otherwise, this movie, like so many other lesser-known pictures, would be lost. So, thank you again for making this available!!
You're welcome. I enjoyed learning that Cary Grant was an early proponent of exercise and diet. He took long walks and swam in a pool regularly. Thanks for the visit!
have you seen cary grant in 1933's "she done him wrong" starring mae west? she claims to have created grant's onscreen persona. i guess this film proves her wrong.
@@cjmacq-vg8um What she claimed, and it's hogwash, is that she spotted him from her window at Paramount, walking down the street. "If he can talk, I'll use him," she recalled, and that was his big break, according to her.
Cary Grant was actually only 28-ish years old when this movie was made /released. I really enjoyed him in this movie🤗. Thank you very much to the channel owners for uploading and sharing this wonderful treat. The quality, though it's over 90 years old, is truly exceptional.
I had never seen or heard of this movie. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it. People can be so vicious with rumor and innuendo. The ending was the best possible and perfectly topped off the movie. Thank you for posting it.
This movie is so cool! As relevant today as any age. You can’t stop people from talking, lol. That mom yelling at Ruth was exactly my mom in the 1970s! The beautiful streets and cars, fashions - how fun! Thank you so much for sharing.
I really wanted someone to knock Connie out!! What a jerk. I was hoping to see that after all he did, he certainly deserved it! You know, 90+ years later, the game’s young people play really have not changed at all. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I'm one hell of a lot more upset at both the b*tch of a mother, and the guy who sexually assaulted and nearly tried to rape her! Cary Grant's character is small potatoes in comparison.
@@cattymajiv, Exactly. Why does the would be rapist try to ruin her reputation? Because she got away from him? He needed a severe beating and jail time for his actions.
1)Can't get over the level of technology, especially the audio, only 5 years after the first talking movies were released (1927). 2) Not hard to see how influential were these films in terms of styles and behaviors. From 1933, same year as this movie, have a family photo of a favorite aunt in KC dressed like these pretty ladies. Standing with my dad in one of those men's white suits. They were living on a shoestring, two years into the Great Depression. But, this film, like that photo makes everything look prosperous. Was it because ordinary people just dressed more elegant? 3). This is what is meant by 'pre-Code'. Although its only mildly suggestive, its written by men depicting very liberated women for the times. Fun to watch, going back in time to see the present. Many thanks. I'm subscribing.
Thanks Donald, never seen this film before! I love seeing these early “talkies,” before sound film reached its polished high point of the 40s. Loved the clothes, sets, cars, and general slice of life hollywood style of the period!
@carole4119 If you have seen My Favorite Wife , also with Grant and Scott - so funny 😁 😂 😀 😆 🤣 😄 . Irene Dunne was the leading lady in this film ... a slick devil .
Wow! I thought I knew every Cary Grant movie! So grateful to you for posting this- never heard of it! Nancy Carroll was a silent star who made the transition to talkies. She was adorable! But Cary Grant is in a league of his own. He is absolute perfection, and got better as he got older. I would go as far as to say that he is what God had in mind when He invented “movie stars”. Thanks again!
Thank you for posting this. The print is excellent … such a treasure. This is one of Randolph Scott’s early pictures. He and Cary Grant were good friends on the set and moved in together shortly after. The nature of the relationship has been the subject of extensive discussion over the years.
@brstoffel So why have you not discussed the love lives of all of the other actors? The love or sex lives of actors are none of our business. Your singling out of them says a lot about you.
@@cattymajiv The personal lives of actors is everybody's business. That's why movie magazines and fan magazines and gossip columns were invented back then, and we have entertainment sites on the internet now telling us who's wearing what, who had bad plastic surgery, who's marrying, who's divorcing, and who's boinking whom. If you really believe what you wrote, you're incredibly sheltered.
@@akrenwinkle Incredibly sheltered from the lies, innuendo, and half truths those rags sell? I hope catty is sheltered from the pig slop so many other people are enamored with. I really do.
This was great for his first Leading Man role! Thanks! Amazing how much doesn’t change. Loved seeing Cary, Nancy & Randolph in the same film! Imagine...it’s almost 92 years ago! Pretty wild! All are so photogenic!
I have sern everything Carey Grant has done, own most of them still on vhs. Hes my fav of all time. Cant believe this is one i never heard of or seen Cant wait to watch this.
Loved the movie and Nancy Carroll! Gene Kelly wrote in a book I read years ago that Nancy Carroll was a real beauty in the late1920s and early 1930s, and he had a crush on her. I agree. She was adorable!
He had incredible range.. but he made everything look so easy, that he never got sufficient credit for it. And he was GREAT in comedy- both dialogue timing AND perfect physical expression. His years as an acrobat, certainly paid off! Aside from Grant, Randolph Scott was the handsomest man in films. The two together in this and “Awful Truth”, are doubly delicious! Style, class, elegance and grace as well.
Great movie! The quality! Thanks for posting. First, the clothes! Then, the manner of speaking!! Also, the music!!! As far as leading men and their looks … Tony Curtis is “ne plus ultra, acme, the height, the zenith, the ultimate, the crown, the pinnacle (.) But, Gary Cooper was an outstanding lady’s man, unsurpassed! Looks can only take a guy (romantically) so far. Confidence is the decisive factor in, both leading men on screen and womanizers in the real world. Then if it’s solely based on looks, Sean Connery as James Bond, any guy would switch places with that character!
Edward Woods plays Connie, the director Johnny Depp played in "Ed Woods." Amazing how Depp looks so like Woods in the movie. At first, I was unsure about this one I had never seen, but paused it and read a few comments, so I kept watching, (pre-code is fascinating). I'm thrilled I did. Cary Grant's teeth didn't help his handsome looks. Just watched "None But The Lonely Heart" again the other night, which was glorious (better actor and no commercials). Thanks so much for sharing!

What a GREAT movie, and great acting by all in this story that has a lot to teach us about small town America. A pity Hollywood doesn't delve into the ironies and truths of society in a format that is so entertaining, glamorous and introspective (without any sex or violence necessary). Cary Grant definitely is the star vehicle - he is totally believable and extremely photogenic to watch - how appalling it is that he never won an Academy Award (until the Academy bequeathed him one after he retired from film as an afterthought honor - and albeit embarrassing one to the members of the Academy at that time). Randolph Scott is also a great actor in this movie. The two became close friends and rumors suggest even more although both had multiple marriages. All the other actors were superb in their roles. The set designs were believable down to the neighborhood houses on the street. Great director as well. I still don't comprehend how Cary Grant and Barbara Hutton fell in love and got married --I'm sure there is alot more to that story than anyone outside the sphere of old Hollywood knows. But life is full of surprises. As is the theme of this movie.
Mr Grant’s black (guessing) robe with the random big white polka dots - _WHERE_ can i get one?? That is like so *_me_* soo right now! lol never even _heard_ of this movie before now & i am having 🎉 FUN 🥳 watching it! Uh oh i’m hoping _wayy_ too high, 🤞🏼this film had *BETTER* have a HAPPY ENDING! 🌈🕊️💕
The actual star of this film is the divine Nancy Carroll. ❤ She left her 🌟 perch too fast, too soon. The movie is well produced and beautifully mounted. Great photography. Cary Grant said Nancy helped him in this film.
I love these historical movies. different era, people, morals, humour. days when people tried to be polite, suave, cultured, real women, chique. today is so vulgar.
@robgrune3284 Morals? Connie tried to rape the girl in the boat, then spread rumors that she “gave it” (herself) to him, which got her fired. He had no morals, and was a criminal (attempted rape is a crime, too, as is slander). If you want `polite’ I would recommend “An Affair to Remember” or the original, “Love Affair, and “The Bishop’s Wife” with Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven. I think it’s on this channel.
This sadly an accurate portrayal of gossip and malice and the way it can ruin lives. The girl made a crazy hasty decision as a result of all that she threw away true love. I suppose the fact that Billy did not give her the benefit of the doubt but hastily judged her. I loved the film, Grant was so young I could hardly recognize him. But he was charming even then, his posture and walk like a prince. No wonder they recognized what a box office draw he would be.
@@jow6845, Sadly, no, and we’re often drugged. I won’t leave a glass of water unattended. GHB is odorless and flavorless. Fortunately, it makes me violently sick, and vomit is an effective rape deterrent.
I think cary Grant was about 25years in this film.. The talk about him and Randolph Scott has been everywhere, i should think they would'nt at that stage in their lives have had enough money to buy a place each..not having made many films.
Small irony...the 2nd tune played during the intro to the movie is Red River Valley. This was the main theme of the Grapes of Wrath Movie 1940. Jane Darwell by chance is in both this movie and the Grapes of Wrath. Could it be fate? Stay tuned...
What about The Grapes of Mud, when the Joads migrate to Oklahoma from the swampy bogs of California, and Grandpa constantly dreams of chicken fried steak? It was played there, too.
If you're not a Cary fan, you haven't seen enough of his movies (70 in all). Guarantee you that! Start with "The Awful Truth" with Irene Dunn, for beauty and laughs.
I think we owe Mr. Borchers a round of thanks not just for the upload, but for the interesting and informative description. It's a pretty good movie, all in all - big points for daring to shoot outdoors despite the relative newness of "talkies". Not a B movie. Pre-Code, too. What we mean by "pre-Code" is not explicitness, but more the attitude movies might take: toward premartial bump-uglies, for example. Or toward the hatefulness of small towns, definitely on full display here. I was a bit surprised at the ending until I remembered, oh yeah, 1932. POST-Code, Carroll never leaves town with Grant; she accepts Randolph Scott's rather lousy apology, The End. Of course, in this movie, Grant isn't really in love with Carroll; he's attracted by her resistance to him. And she's not in love either, but hey, it's Cary Grant. (Who may have been more attracted to Scott irl, lol). Cary Grant wasn't "Cary Grant" quite yet, but he was getting there. Mae West was about to give his career a steroid injection. Nancy Carroll's story was, as Mr. Borchers says, a sad, strange case of career self-immolation. Biggest female lead in Hollywood in 1932. By 1938, forgotten, she quit the movies. Sic transit gloria mundi.
Apparently Randolph and Cary Grant met on this movie and their relationship led to their moving in together until the early forties A couple of dreamboats. What a handsome couple they make.
Not everybody is to be judged by today's standards. Many girls lived together sharing flats and were not homosexuals, same goes for men. I do not believe for a moment that they had anything but a beautiful old style devoted friendship, a kind that does not exist anymore between men or women for that matter, if it does it is rare. Gay people may marry once for a facade like Rock Hudson, but Grant married 5 times had a girl and had been involved with plenty of women a wife breaking up with him exactly because he was with another woman. Not a man, or men.
@@42kellys, Thank you. I did research that rumor, and it’s false, yet people keep spreading it, just like the lies in this story about what really happened in the boat. 😢
edward woods, the dude combing his hair at 2:33, co-starred with cagney in 1931's "public enemy." he was supposed to have the lead but after viewing the dailies the studio gave cagney the lead role and poor old woods was left as a curious asterick in the history of hollywood. jane darwell, who played the mom ida brock, has an acting credit list about mile long. i remember her best as the mom in 1940s "the grapes of wrath." cary grant and randolph scott were hollywood, bachelor roommates for years. i wonder if they may have first met on this film. scott was best known for his western roles. scott's name is uttered in awe by the townspeople of rockridge in the 1974 film "blazing saddles." i have no idea who nancy carroll is. never heard of her.
Scott died at 89, (Grant was about three years younger but died before Scott at age 82). Scott was worth $100M due to his savvy investments. Out of 100 movies, I believe 60 or more were westerns. He was married to the same woman for 43 years until he died. Fascinating.
@@rebeccamangelsdorf3806 They're in lots of documentaries, and it's my impression they had a decades-long genuinely loving relationship, and were it today, they would be married. Do you mean eyewitnesses that both attended wild parties together?
I think around this time that having a car that was entirely closed off from the elements was a bit new-early cars had no tops, like the roadsters, or had canopies like the one Eva jumps in to find Bill after she gets fired.
Cary Grant was always a better actor than Gary Cooper. But Coop got to Hollywood first, planted his flag and walked woodenly through a much celebrated career. A few of Grant's roles were ones Cooper passed on when they were both at Paramount. Grant is not quite there yet as a screen presence in this. But he'd get there after a few years. The studio system did him no favours.
You are sooooo wrong! Cooper is a very underappreciated actor. He was marvelous in all of his movies. Grant was good and I like him. But he never could portray the wide variety of characters that Coop could.
I disagree with you. And many others too. Cooper was an awesome actor not everybody saw his nuanced way of acting you needed good eye for that. Wooden, hah! Of course, we are all entitled to our opinions. Interesting take on Gary Cooper's acting.
Ruth hauling the underwear off her younger sister which she ‘borrowed’ is so strange; not exactly sexual or anything just an odd thing to see onscreen; not to mention it does nothing to further the plot. Example of what made ‘pre-code’ pictures so interesting. 13:11
FYI - a 2016 documentary came right out and stated that Grant was gay. The film, ""Women He's Undressed", about the three-time Academy Award winning costume designer Orry-Kelly, acknowledges Grant was in a gay relationship with the designer in the 1920s ... BEFORE his marriage.
@DonaldPBorchersOG, Why should anyone believe what Orry-Kelly says is true? People would not remember who he is except he says something about Cary Grant and now we know his name.
@@elmadixon8293 It's okay to have questions. But what Orry-Kelly says is corroborated: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/cary-grant-randolph-scott-hollywood-story#:~:text=“This%20was%20the%20first%20time,They%20explored%20this%20attraction%20imbalance. So, my question to you is why not believe him?
Enjoyed watching this, although honestly I don’t have much sympathy for the lead character; she manipulates all the men to bounce herself from one situation to the next, is highly fickle in her affections. She seems to plays society’s game very imprudently, then goes to pieces when it backfires on her. Not that the men were pinnacles of responsible adulthood, either. Sigh 😂 Maybe it speaks to the movie’s sophistication that all the main characters in the film had unlikeable characteristics! Am thinking it’s a morality play by hollywood on the type of socially stunted growth that happens in backwater towns when the appearance of good trumps the actual substance. 🤷🏻♀️
i cant say that i liked the ending too much. would rather have had bill get her. but the girl was pretty nutty. she should have given bill more of a chance, than just run off with the playboy at the slightest problem.
@jennybrice6360, the story is that Ruth and the playboy were attracted to each othee, but Ruth knew he could be a true husband matterial. The play boy pays off the good time girl he hopes of getting Ruth. Then the happy End Grant's character see Ruth as true love and is going to new York and be married by a minister that told he needs to marry. See so he is giving up being a playboy because he meet the right gal to marry / the one that was looking for marriage.

Morals? Connie tried to rape the girl in the boat, then spread rumors that she “gave it” (herself) to him, which got her fired. He had no morals, and was a criminal (attempted rape is a crime, too, as is slander).
If you want `polite’ I would recommend “An Affair to Remember” or the original, “Love Affair, and “The Bishop’s Wife” with Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven. I think it’s on this channel.
LOVED IT !!
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
Randolph Scott is the only one who could stand next to Cary Grant and hold his own!!😙😙
They lived together on and off for about a decade, an arrangement that outlasted multiple marriages between them.
This sadly an accurate portrayal of gossip and malice and the way it can ruin lives. The girl made a crazy hasty decision as a result of all that she threw away true love. I suppose the fact that Billy did not give her the benefit of the doubt but hastily judged her. I loved the film, Grant was so young I could hardly recognize him. But he was charming even then, his posture and walk like a prince. No wonder they recognized what a box office draw he would be.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and for watching!

She left the boys and chose a man!
Fantastic movie. Excellent cast.
Welcome.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG Thank you.
Poor Ruth - has much changed for women…..?
@@jow6845, Sadly, no, and we’re often drugged. I won’t leave a glass of water unattended. GHB is odorless and flavorless. Fortunately, it makes me violently sick, and vomit is an effective rape deterrent.
You can see the excited attraction in their movies.
Thanks for watching.
I think cary Grant was about 25years in this film.. The talk about him and Randolph Scott has been everywhere, i should think they would'nt at that stage in their lives have had enough money to buy a place each..not having made many films.
Thanks for the visit!
Small irony...the 2nd tune played during the intro to the movie is Red River Valley. This was the main theme of the Grapes of Wrath Movie 1940. Jane Darwell by chance is in both this movie and the Grapes of Wrath. Could it be fate? Stay tuned...
That's an impressive and astute observation. Thanks for the visit!
What about The Grapes of Mud, when the Joads migrate to Oklahoma from the swampy bogs of California, and Grandpa constantly dreams of chicken fried steak? It was played there, too.
what a beautiful film ! Randolph Scott is outstanding, what a performance . I have never been fan of Cary Grant . Thank you for sharing this movie
Welcome.
If you're not a Cary fan, you haven't seen enough of his movies (70 in all). Guarantee you that! Start with "The Awful Truth" with Irene Dunn, for beauty and laughs.
Got to love that xylophone
Right?! Welcome.
Had to check the comments just to see what everyone was going to say about the actors in this movies private lives. LOL
Right?! Thanks for the visit!
Best friends Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, they must have had a blast working together.
I think we owe Mr. Borchers a round of thanks not just for the upload, but for the interesting and informative description. It's a pretty good movie, all in all - big points for daring to shoot outdoors despite the relative newness of "talkies". Not a B movie. Pre-Code, too. What we mean by "pre-Code" is not explicitness, but more the attitude movies might take: toward premartial bump-uglies, for example. Or toward the hatefulness of small towns, definitely on full display here. I was a bit surprised at the ending until I remembered, oh yeah, 1932. POST-Code, Carroll never leaves town with Grant; she accepts Randolph Scott's rather lousy apology, The End. Of course, in this movie, Grant isn't really in love with Carroll; he's attracted by her resistance to him. And she's not in love either, but hey, it's Cary Grant. (Who may have been more attracted to Scott irl, lol). Cary Grant wasn't "Cary Grant" quite yet, but he was getting there. Mae West was about to give his career a steroid injection. Nancy Carroll's story was, as Mr. Borchers says, a sad, strange case of career self-immolation. Biggest female lead in Hollywood in 1932. By 1938, forgotten, she quit the movies. Sic transit gloria mundi.
Welcome. Thanks for sharing.
EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING HAS , THEIR OWN TIME!!!
Thanks for watching.
Apparently Randolph and Cary Grant met on this movie and their relationship led to their moving in together until the early forties A couple of dreamboats. What a handsome couple they make.
Not everybody is to be judged by today's standards. Many girls lived together sharing flats and were not homosexuals, same goes for men. I do not believe for a moment that they had anything but a beautiful old style devoted friendship, a kind that does not exist anymore between men or women for that matter, if it does it is rare. Gay people may marry once for a facade like Rock Hudson, but Grant married 5 times had a girl and had been involved with plenty of women a wife breaking up with him exactly because he was with another woman. Not a man, or men.
Thanks for clocking in with all of that, and for watching!
@@42kellys,
Thank you. I did research that rumor, and it’s false, yet people keep spreading it, just like the lies in this story about what really happened in the boat. 😢
Roma. The man of our dreams. Dreamboat
Glad you enjoy!
thanx4post
Welcome.
Cary Grants best ever movie was “ Bringing Up Baby.’’ ❤
Thanks for the visit!
"Suspicion".
Laughed until my belly hurt😂One of the best yes Bringing Up Baby!
You sure it wasn't "The Awful Truth"?
Grant made lots of great movies, but I believe Grant's best is Notorious with Bergman. Great pairing.
He was so swab and he got better looking as he aged.
Roger that. A suave swab! Ha! Thanks for the visit!
I'm a terrible speller, sorry.
edward woods, the dude combing his hair at 2:33, co-starred with cagney in 1931's "public enemy." he was supposed to have the lead but after viewing the dailies the studio gave cagney the lead role and poor old woods was left as a curious asterick in the history of hollywood.
jane darwell, who played the mom ida brock, has an acting credit list about mile long. i remember her best as the mom in 1940s "the grapes of wrath."
cary grant and randolph scott were hollywood, bachelor roommates for years. i wonder if they may have first met on this film. scott was best known for his western roles. scott's name is uttered in awe by the townspeople of rockridge in the 1974 film "blazing saddles." i have no idea who nancy carroll is. never heard of her.
Scott died at 89, (Grant was about three years younger but died before Scott at age 82). Scott was worth $100M due to his savvy investments. Out of 100 movies, I believe 60 or more were westerns. He was married to the same woman for 43 years until he died. Fascinating.
Thanks for clocking in with all of this.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG... you're welcome. i love old movies and this is one i've never seen. i appreciate the upload.
@@cjmacq-vg8um Welcome. I post mine from the 1930s here: ua-cam.com/play/PLk3CReZFhoBdsIcEWhsJSo1vDOVQ4tQq3.html
Cary and Scott lived together in California for years. Wild parties and such. . . I put all the emphasis on - "and such!" 🤭
They lived in interesting times. Thanks for the visit!
I'm not so sure about wild parties. When you have real love, who needs parties?
@akrenwinkle Eyewitnesses accounts, and I do not care if both of them had a homosexual relationship. There was a whole documentary on them on T.V.
@@rebeccamangelsdorf3806 They're in lots of documentaries, and it's my impression they had a decades-long genuinely loving relationship, and were it today, they would be married. Do you mean eyewitnesses that both attended wild parties together?
Please don’t ruin them for me.
Good Movie ❤❤❤
Glad you like it. Welcome.
Poetic justice. She made the right choice.
Roger that. Welcome.
@4:58 min. WOWEEE. THAT's a SUIT!
Yes Siree Bob. Thanks for watching!
4:17 "Dad's given me the closed car" That's a term this old car buff has never heard, and at 10:45 is that a hot rod 15 years ahead of its time?
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
I think around this time that having a car that was entirely closed off from the elements was a bit new-early cars had no tops, like the roadsters, or had canopies like the one Eva jumps in to find Bill after she gets fired.
Cary Grant was always a better actor than Gary Cooper. But Coop got to Hollywood first, planted his flag and walked woodenly through a much celebrated career. A few of Grant's roles were ones Cooper passed on when they were both at Paramount. Grant is not quite there yet as a screen presence in this. But he'd get there after a few years. The studio system did him no favours.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Lol! Woodenly.
You are sooooo wrong! Cooper is a very underappreciated actor. He was marvelous in all of his movies. Grant was good and I like him. But he never could portray the wide variety of characters that Coop could.
I disagree with you. And many others too. Cooper was an awesome actor not everybody saw his nuanced way of acting you needed good eye for that. Wooden, hah! Of course, we are all entitled to our opinions. Interesting take on Gary Cooper's acting.
That really isn't true, but as a personal prefrence acceptable.
Scott even sounds like Grant occadionally.
Thanks for watching!
As a black man I can only imagine the racism that existed during that time!!!
Roger that. Welcome.
There were more intact black families, though, and black communities tended to be more affluent and self-sustaining, unlike today.
hard to believe ppl had such a high moral ground back in the day. what happened ?
Go figure. Thanks for what watching!
C'mon, be a good winner!
Thanks for watching.
16:37 waiter behind the food bar seems really, really uncomfortable
True that.
Lol, why shouldn't he be? I'd have been totally uncomfortable too. What a creepy crowd😕
@@flowerchild777 I think he messed up an earlier take and got yelled at.
@@flowerchild777 I think he messed up an earlier take and got yelled at. He's trying very, very hard to not screw up again.
22:36 Same waiter. Relaxed and happy.
i am Greek. Can you upload the movie The Talk of the Town with Cary Grant in UA-cam so i can have the ability to watch it with subtitles??
A lot if pre-code activities in this movie that would be banned a few years later.
That one never would have got past the code...😅
Roger that. Thanks for watching!
Manners. Decorum. Kindness
Those were the days! Welcome.
Cary Grant before he had his teeth fixed. Leading lady was a friend of the director.
I knew it wasn't just me. Thanks!
Thanks for the info, and for watching!
Isn't that a rather overstaffed bank for a town with only four street cars, etc? Looks like most everyone works at the bank.
💟🙏💟🙏💟🙏
👍
Ruth hauling the underwear off her younger sister which she ‘borrowed’ is so strange; not exactly sexual or anything just an odd thing to see onscreen; not to mention it does nothing to further the plot. Example of what made ‘pre-code’ pictures so interesting. 13:11
Gossip!
45:20 Women obsessed with talking about sex, they never stop thinking about it.
Thanks for watching!
- is what a girl wants - to have a man show her; he’d never want to loose her
Food for thought. Thanks for watching.
Xylophone virtuosity at opening. What happened to xylophones.

Mr white suit looks like villain from. Newer movie.. untouchables
Roger that.
This is exciting, now almost at the end of this film.
Spoiler warning, in the end of this comment
Never before have I seen CG to be left by a woman.
Because the woman would have to be certifiably bonkers, to leave Cary Grant!
Thank goodness we as humans nowadays did away with morals and reputation now
Ha! I take your point.
💚🙏😇🙏💚
👍
Cary Grant had a wife and 2 children. He was not gay😂
FYI - a 2016 documentary came right out and stated that Grant was gay. The film, ""Women He's Undressed", about the three-time Academy Award winning costume designer Orry-Kelly, acknowledges Grant was in a gay relationship with the designer in the 1920s ... BEFORE his marriage.
@DonaldPBorchersOG, Why should anyone believe what Orry-Kelly says is true? People would not remember who he is except he says something about Cary Grant and now we know his name.
@@elmadixon8293 It's okay to have questions. But what Orry-Kelly says is corroborated: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/cary-grant-randolph-scott-hollywood-story#:~:text=“This%20was%20the%20first%20time,They%20explored%20this%20attraction%20imbalance. So, my question to you is why not believe him?

31:17 and what did she think...he'll chase after her? .🙄
Thanks for the visit!
Enjoyed watching this, although honestly I don’t have much sympathy for the lead character; she manipulates all the men to bounce herself from one situation to the next, is highly fickle in her affections. She seems to plays society’s game very imprudently, then goes to pieces when it backfires on her. Not that the men were pinnacles of responsible adulthood, either. Sigh 😂 Maybe it speaks to the movie’s sophistication that all the main characters in the film had unlikeable characteristics! Am thinking it’s a morality play by hollywood on the type of socially stunted growth that happens in backwater towns when the appearance of good trumps the actual substance. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes, flawed characters make for good stories.
GOOD MOVIE 🎥🍿🍿🎥 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🦩
Glad you enjoyed it!
i cant say that i liked the ending too much. would rather have had bill get her. but the girl was pretty nutty. she should have given bill more of a chance, than just run off with the playboy at the slightest problem.
Thanks for sharing your opinions.
@jennybrice6360, the story is that Ruth and the playboy were attracted to each othee, but Ruth knew he could be a true husband matterial. The play boy pays off the good time girl he hopes of getting Ruth. Then the happy End Grant's character see Ruth as true love and is going to new York and be married by a minister that told he needs to marry. See so he is giving up being a playboy because he meet the right gal to marry / the one that was looking for marriage.
Don't like the ending. She was a fool marrying the rebel. Girls are still doing that to this day. The nice guy was the better choice.
