I really miss this music. It was beautiful and most of all my dear mother showed it to me. Every time I hear this music it brings back special memories of me and my mother watching the old MGM musical. I learned from her what good music really was and from the bottom of my heart I will always be grateful to her. Thanks mom for everything I love you and miss you so very much.
Hearing any movie soundtrack from the golden years of Hollywood takes me back to my childhood in the sixties, when these movies played regularly on television.
Astounding masterpiece! Today’s musicals don’t have these musical or dance numbers! Truly a Broadway classic! Beautiful music,Tender lyrics… What a glorious tribute to a great musical. Thank goodness the clouds were brought back to us!
"Today’s musicals don’t have these musical or dance numbers!" Then it's not a musical. Stop shitting on modern output becasue you don't have the emotional maturity to just say you love something from the past. It's all subjective anyway, so there is no good or bad.
My how times have changed for us all over the years and we've learned so much about respect and acceptance. Thankfully this music will never change and I am still deeply emotional every time I hear Mr Kern's beautiful songs.
Timeless,Timeless. Costumes, musical scores,words had a feeling and a meaning of real life. I still get as emotional as if I were 20 yrs old and in love. What a privilege to be able to see these movies and remind us of our great American Musical Composers... Thank you.
All of these fabulous actors and actresses are now gone. I miss them very much. Hardly had I known about Jerome Kern before I came to this video. Now I realize how versatile he was as a composer. His music used in this film has brought tears to my eyes. I hope younger generations will be interested in his music and appreciate his accomplishments. Thanks a lot!
Wow, what an all-star cast, and yet another movie I have never heard of. I love when UA-cam now gets my tastes and pops up these treats as suggestions. I sometimes just go through a certain artist, and find so many wonderful movies I never knew of, and a few I did...
Van Johnson was a chorus boy in the Broadway musical "Too Many Girls." When RKO Radio Pictures bought the film rights Desi Arnaz was cast to re-create his stage role opposite RKO contract player Lucille Ball, with Johnson among the other original cast members chosen to reprise their Broadway roles. He and Lucy became good friends, and when Lucy moved on to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer she used her connections to get him a screen test that led to a long-term contract for a studio starved for leading men in the absence of Clark Gable, James Stewart and others during World War II. Here is the unbilled Van Johnson (41, front and center) as he appears in the opening of "Too Many Girls." ua-cam.com/video/QH97auKCG94/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SusieRobinson
I love the story. I love the stars. I feel like I really missed something when films like Till The Clouds Roll By were being shown in theaters for the first time and were the "norm" in entertainment. What has happened to "so-called" entertainment in the USA? The caliber of people and film making is not even the same.
Why compare the pass with today. At the making of this movie the last generation had just come out of a horrific World War that was just 20 years before a World War, Flu Pandemic and the Roaring Twenties....We who are alive today are indeed blessed.
@@christenasmalls6118 we may be blessed in some ways today, but I beg to differ on others. Every generation has had its pros and cons, but entertainment from mid twentieth century US wins hands down!!
I should have lived back then. It was the best era for musicals. I'm writing songs and performing them with my musical family and I think you'll like them. ua-cam.com/video/LfOaVGAyLkk/v-deo.html
Still reminded how they only filmed Lena Horne's appearances solo or separately from the production so they could cut her out when the film was distributed down South! But it was many years after seeing this film and many others that I found that out. Now I teach that...
You're right. Now, had Lena played a maid or other servant in the film, there would have been no problem with the feeble mind of the Southern film distributors and theater owners. Their problem was not hearing Lena, it was seeing her so glamorous and elegant... as big a threat to them as the Atom Bomb. Now, in fairness to Louis B. Mayer, and as much as Lena complained about his studio later... hiring Lena was revolutionary at the time, and there's no question MGM had more to lose than to gain taking a chance on her. For once, he did the right thing.
She suffered deeply from the hideous racism that was Hollywood in those days. It eventually drove her out altogether. In this film she was a show stopper if there ever was one and MGM simply didn't appreciate her, by the sound of it. I so wish there had been somebody who could have helped her.
@@petertaylor3600 Kay Thompson and Vincente Minnelli were close friends and mentors. Lena sounded beautiful and the studio showed her as beautiful. What she accomplished at MGM was groundbreaking for that awful time period. Also consider that there were no real Asian stars since Anna May Wong, and there's nothing much in their representation now. Consider also there is not one single openly gay male bankable name-over-the-title film star in 2022. (No, I don't count Zachary Quinto.) Things were, and still are, unfair. That said, Lena and Dorothy Dandridge were pioneers, groundbreakers. Thank heaven we had them.
Oh please you think way to much of yourself and we're you come from.its not about you or where you come from.you people think everybody is against you but you are the fools who truly believe in that lie your own people teach you.get over yourself nobody thinks of you
Lena Horne said the reason she didn't stay in Hollywood was because they wanted her to "pass" and because she had to sing to the overhead lights. Her song here is what she was talking about.
Looking back on the musicals that entertained...way before television.. So good to see Judy Garland in her prime..unfortunately like many she was used and abused by those who showed us the bright lights of show business.
When this film was made, the full extent of Garland's addiction was not even known by the vast majority of people in the world. Her addiction was not the "norm" in her lifetime. I still agree that it was her mother that started her down the road to addiction. I agree with Mickey Rooney that Garland continued to choose that road. It was not MGM that forced her into addiction. MGM at times may not have handled Garland and her addiction appropriately, but the studio certainly did not start or force her into addiction. MGM was a business, and Garland was an employee. Garland's conduct as an employee became more delinquent as the years passed. Had I been L.B. Mayer, I would have taken that youngster out and aside for treatment of her addiction and bad habits. After a certain amount of time I would have allowed her to come back to work. If the addiction and bad habits were to reappear, I would have dismissed her.
@@brianoyler4777 If you ask anybody why they think Judy's mother was Judy's first pill-pusher, long before she got to MGM, they'd be stumped and say, "Everybody knows." Well, it was in the Clarke book, sort of. Mrs. Gumm told a friend, "I've got to keep these girls (her daughters) going" traveling, auditioning, performing when they could get work. That's as far as it goes... the implication that that's what Mrs. Gumm meant. For all of her life, there's no record of Judy- never shy about dissing her mother- saying Mrs. Gumm started her on drugs. It's true, however, that Mickey Rooney's account of events was at odds with Judy's. Mickey knew Judy was strong-willed and made her own choices and decisions, something that those unfamiliar with Judy don't know or want to know. "Sympathy is my business," Judy told Liza, and that's a big chunk of the legend.
@@akrenwinkle well, I do not know whether anyone will know for sure how Garland's addiction began. I am tired of hearing people blaming MGM for her addiction. Again, In my opinion her mother introduced her to pills. MGM did have pills available for employees. Judy Garland made the decision to become addicted. MGM did not! People blame MGM because of stories even Garland recounted in her day to make MGM look like the culprit and 'bad guy'. Many, many people had very successful careers coming out of 'MGM U', as Esther Williams described. The idea of being Judy Garland certainly did a number on the public for sympathy. In more retrospect I suspect Garland was nothing more than a spoiled brat and more egocentrical with her relationship to MGM. Would it not have been a hell of a lot easier for her and everyone else concerned had she not even been connected to show biz? I am concluding this with every passing year.
@@brianoyler4777 Nobody thought Mrs. Gumm started Judy on pep pills until the Clarke book I referenced, and in it was the little nothingburger "I've got to keep these girls going." It defies logic. 1) Plump Mrs. Gumm sure didn't take them. 2) Judy would have needed more energy just being a normal schoolgirl than being driven around to perform and audition; 3) If Judy had been on amphetamines prior to signing with MGM, she would already have been slim. One reason Judy almost never sang "Acheson, Topeka, Santa Fe" was because composer Harry Warren stated that if Judy had been at another studio, she'd have been fired long ago. You are right, with success came a spoiled brat mindset.
Back then, folks were groomed into acting. Dance, sing, talk, walk- look like. Lena Horne punches through color codes with a voice that is timeless fury. Garland, said to be one of the finest, and like Lena, sang better in person than she did in the studio. Good, smart, production sticks with you.
Lena was supposed to appear in Arthur Freed's 1951 producrion of "SHOW BOAT". But the studio worried that Southern exhibitors would boycott the film because of her presence- and Ava Gardner filled her role of "Julie" instead.
Ironically I was watching this and didn’t finish it. I couldn’t remember the title but I remembered the lovely Lena Horne had a clip in it and I found it.😎💕💕❤️💕
Judy was the brass in this movie waited the whole movie to see her and she didn't disappoint save the BEST for the last well almost the last but always first❣️
I'm surprised this is listed as a Judy Garland musical. We don't see her until 1:15...more than halfway through the movie! Surely, any of these other headliners that carried the show throughout would have been worth more of a mention...
I would have loved seeing this in the theater when it was originally shown; on the big screen w/ a brand new Technicolor print, and proper sound system to match....
I went to a matinee of it when I was about 13 and simply stayed there to watch the next session, causing consternation and a police search. I loved it so much, I didn't think about what I was doing. I had a crush on Frank Sinatra anyway.
I have seen this movie many times, and my main reason is Judy Garland as Marilyn Miller. Both of Judy's numbers were directed by her then husband Vincente Minnelli. However, the film does contain some terrific numbers by so many others: Frank Sinatra, June Allyson, Lena Horne, just to name a few. One question I have always had is why does everyone else in the title number TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY sing except for June Allyson?
The composer Jerome Kern Only allowed this movie to be made about his life if the plot was completely fictional. So any resemblance between this movie and Kern's life is purely coincidental.
59:15 At last, I can finally see the great British Oceanliner R.M.S. LUSITANIA which was sunk by a German U-Boat Torpedo on the Southern Irish coast of May 7th 1915! The great broadway producer Charles Frohman was among the victims of the LUSITANIA DISASTER! Charles Frohman's last words was this... "Why fear death? It's the most beautiful adventure that life gives us!" R.M.S. LUSITANIA (September 7, 1907 - May 7, 1915) 🚢😭🌅
People has a annoying ability to forget - lusitania was hit by a german uboat - so far - but its a fact that the ocean-liner was stuffed full of ammunition thereby being the reason behind the very quick sinking after the huge eksplosion when on all the gun-powder went up in the air - as a matter of fact the land America was neutral at the time so it was a breach of the laws and thereby causing the ships quick dimmise , but no body was interested because it was the evil huns that was the culprit. That german uboat later in the war stranded on the danish coast , no member off the crew was Hurt but the sub still lays there today - the 88mm deckgun is removed and is currently stored in copenhagen out in the danish navys old headquarter
Late actress was made by her directors (movie) to feel ‘ not pretty’! I find her overall make up very attractive- next to any other actress. Plus she could sing- fabulously! Dang! Words & actions can ruin a sensitive person.
"Based on the life and music of JEROME KERN". Arthur Freed never let the truth get in the way of a great musical film. By the time this was released in December 1946, Kern had been dead for a little over a year.
Thoroughly entertaining but highly fictionalized biography of the great composer. The Hassells, father and daughter, didn't exist and were invented for the film. He did meet his wife Eva in England, where she worked as a barmaid at here parents' inn. There's also no mention of the Kern's daughter, probably because Kern himself insisted his biopic be fictionalized overall. Lucille Bremmer, a fine dancer, is dubbed in her songs by Trudy Erwin (she also dubbed Lucille Ball, Lana Turner, and Kim Novak in film musicals). Although so many of his songs have entered the Great American Songbook, his only show that is ever revived is SHOW BOAT (not unusual for early Broadway shows even by Berlin, Porter, and Gershwin).
So cute to see Judy Garland pregnant with Liza Minnelli right here. Judy is absolutely radiant! 1:34:39 They gave her that yellow cloth to try to hide it, lol
Judy was pregnant with Liza Minnelli in this movie. They did everything to hide the pregnancy, but if you pay close attention you can notice a beautiful and little belly in some scenes of the movie....
SHOWBOAT has never been a fav of mine. But in 2023 I wonder if it could be staged again without problems. I bet LINCOLN CENTER would do an awesome job. Ya....its dated,I know,but......
This petrfect movie ok ,Also is very Mark on the movie son are so beautiful wow we are in 2023 and still no will no even mach , it show 100 % white supremasi and yet the sentimen of the movie it seft show a Fantasy reality it very rasis i get , We moust focus in 2023 live is much civilizes that before we also we a lot to learn from there Artistic level of th e movie is very hight i just wish if Hollywwood can make this Movie again it wil super Remaster Production
Just noticed three elephants in the final sequences, covered with gold paint. That stuff is toxic to humans and I hope not to elephants. Otherwise, hoping they all got it off quickly before it killed three elephants from blood poisoning. Talk about animal cruelty!
I just watched the ending sequence again and couldn't see any gold elephants. Could you please give a time stamp? I saw the unpainted ones in the circus scene, but not any painted ones in the ending. I do agree that the way animals are treated in the entertainment business is absolutely horrible! For that matter, it also applies to animals in the food, leather, and fur industries as well!
Thank you for educating us about this abuse of the poor elephants. Circuses are known for abusing and exploiting animals for money. I would never go to a circus for that reason. Animals don’t belong in circuses or zoos. They are forced to live a miserable life.🙏🏻
Sad that they couldn't find an English girl to play Eva Keale... AND that they pretended they'd not met in a Pub, where she was the daughter of the Publican, and WORKING! Oh! And the fact that Kern was supposed to travel with Frohman ON THE LUSITANIA, but was up all night PLAYING POKER (!!), overslept and missed the boat!
Too bad the credits are not shown. We would know every one of the actors and the parts they played. I always read the credits, and I am VERY disappointed! By the way, wasn't Tony Martin wonderful!
Os inimigos da igreja celestial e terreno querem que meus filhos e as famílias deles vão para o exterior esses da igreja tiraram até meu inglês que dirá as duas famílias que não sabem o inglês Cruz credo Credo em cruz 😅
Surely one of the worst movies ever concocted through MGM, culiminating in white guy (in white) Frank Sinatra singing Ol Man River! The only reasons to watch this tripe are to see Judy Garland and Lena Horne.
I really miss this music. It was beautiful and most of all my dear mother showed it to me. Every time I hear this music it brings back special memories of me and my mother watching the old MGM musical. I learned from her what good music really was and from the bottom of my heart I will always be grateful to her. Thanks mom for everything I love you and miss you so very much.

Just love these old show tunes and so much talent!!!
Never knew Van Johnson was quite the hoofer; timing, speed, balance, expression. Wow.
Fred Astaire might've secretly choreographed them.
Actually, Van Johnson began his career as a hoofer, then graduated to acting.

Arthur Freed never let the truth get in the way of a great musical film. By the time this was released in December 1946, Kern had been dead for a little over a year.
Thoroughly entertaining but highly fictionalized biography of the great composer. The Hassells, father and daughter, didn't exist and were invented for the film. He did meet his wife Eva in England, where she worked as a barmaid at here parents' inn. There's also no mention of the Kern's daughter, probably because Kern himself insisted his biopic be fictionalized overall. Lucille Bremmer, a fine dancer, is dubbed in her songs by Trudy Erwin (she also dubbed Lucille Ball, Lana Turner, and Kim Novak in film musicals). Although so many of his songs have entered the Great American Songbook, his only show that is ever revived is SHOW BOAT (not unusual for early Broadway shows even by Berlin, Porter, and Gershwin).
So cute to see Judy Garland pregnant with Liza Minnelli right here. Judy is absolutely radiant! 1:34:39 They gave her that yellow cloth to try to hide it, lol
WOW !!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Judy was pregnant with Liza Minnelli in this movie. They did everything to hide the pregnancy, but if you pay close attention you can notice a beautiful and little belly in some scenes of the movie....
Jerome Kern was going to write the music and lyrics to " Annie Get Your Gun", but he suddenly died. So Irving Berlin had to write them instead ... 😮
It's a charming film. Was wondering why the woman Eva in England he falls in love with doesn't have a British accident??
Wikipedia had its rumours that Gene Kelly was to play Jerome Kern.
When he was preparing "they didn't believe me", it sure sounded like "if ever i would leave you". But the final tune doesn't sound like that.
If ever I would leave you was written long after Til the Clouds.
I must've missed something. The title says A star is born. This wasn't A Star is born.
Why does she have a bruise on her forehead? Is that part of the movie? I've never seen it
lol it was a dirt stain put on before she sings..it's part of the character...watch the movie before you ask dumb questions please😖
This movie is in the public domain.
Is that a bruise on her forehead? In the video thumbnail?
It's supposed to be a smudge of dirt.
WOW!

Just noticed three elephants in the final sequences, covered with gold paint. That stuff is toxic to humans and I hope not to elephants. Otherwise, hoping they all got it off quickly before it killed three elephants from blood poisoning. Talk about animal cruelty!
I just watched the ending sequence again and couldn't see any gold elephants. Could you please give a time stamp? I saw the unpainted ones in the circus scene, but not any painted ones in the ending. I do agree that the way animals are treated in the entertainment business is absolutely horrible! For that matter, it also applies to animals in the food, leather, and fur industries as well!
I was too entranced with the glorious story and music of one of the greatest song writers who ever lived to notice.
Thank you for educating us about
this abuse of the poor elephants.
Circuses are known for abusing
and exploiting animals for money.
I would never go to a circus for
that reason. Animals don’t belong in circuses or zoos. They are forced to live a miserable life.🙏🏻
Sad that they couldn't find an English girl to play Eva Keale... AND that they pretended they'd not met in a Pub, where she was the daughter of the Publican, and WORKING!
Oh! And the fact that Kern was supposed to travel with Frohman ON THE LUSITANIA, but was up all night PLAYING POKER (!!), overslept and missed the boat!
Frank Sinatra at 1: 10
Too bad the credits are not shown. We would know every one of the actors and the parts they played. I always read the credits, and I am VERY disappointed! By the way, wasn't Tony Martin wonderful!

The "English" woman Kern wanted to marry doesn't sound very English to me.
Os inimigos da igreja celestial e terreno querem que meus filhos e as famílias deles vão para o exterior esses da igreja tiraram até meu inglês que dirá as duas famílias que não sabem o inglês

Thank goodness we live in more enlightened times. The poor elephants must have gone through agonies to get them to perform like that.

It's like Brokeback Mountain as a musical.
En castellano hablado 😠🇨🇱
Surely one of the worst movies ever concocted through MGM, culiminating in white guy (in white) Frank Sinatra singing Ol Man River! The only reasons to watch this tripe are to see Judy Garland and Lena Horne.
Oh brother…always has to be a colorblind critic!🥱
Und doe die Blondinen sahen alle gleich aus. Fast wie geklont.
