A great movie to watch on a cold winter day and especially when it's windy and grey outside. Marilyn Monroe looked just beautiful. I love the story very much and the dialogues too. They don't make movie like these anymore, with a happy ending.
Marilyn was as usual absolutely breath taking. But i loved the movie so much! The plot, the characters and everything else.. man... These r some beautiful gems lost through the ages.. rlly...
What a great film, wonderful cast and a humorous storyline. I’ve seen this film a few times, it always makes me smile. Just the sort of film on a gloomy day to cheer yourself up. Thank you for sharing this fab film.
You're in for the shock of your life when I tell you this: watch her in All About Eve. There you will hear her REAL VOICE and realize how she STOLE Barbara Bates personality, walk, mannerisms and voice! Barbara Bates plays Phoebe in that movie about an actress who usurps another's persona and career. Monroe was in that film, with her manly body language, mannerisms and voice! The film taught her HOW TO STE (4)L another woman's fame/personality/career and she did just that! ANNE BAXTER is the original with the breathy voice. I was doing dishes & thought it was the tart talking: nope, it was Anne! Phoebe steals Eve (Baxter)'s voice & persona and Monroe stole Phobe's (Barbara Bates). Confused? Watch the film All About Eve. Then watch Janet Gaynor's A Star is Born from 1937 and you will learn how the studios FABRICATED a personality for Norma Jean Mortensen, who was NEVER AN ORPHAN and never had an institutionalized mother. ALL fabricated by her & the studio. You're welcome!
Watch her in ALL ABOUT EVE: M4N LY voice & body language for Monroe who totally usurped Anne Baxter's breathy voice & Barbara Bates' body language. Monroe pulled an "EVE" in real life!
@@helenlauer9545 I only saw Marilyn in the apartment building scenes, not at a gala ball. I saw the wife dancing at a ball with her husband. Is it the wife you're referring to as looking "like a school girl"? The husband (37 years old) and wife (25 years old) actors were 12 years apart in age.
June Harver reminds me so much of Debbie Reynolds acting in this character. William Lundigan is eye candy back in the day. This might be a B Class Movie but the acting was 1st Class. Loved this story written by John Corbett in his novel “The Reluctant Landlord”.
The post-World War II comedy features an early supporting role for Monroe. It is one of the few films future host Jack Paar made prior to his television career, and the last film appearance by Fay, who had been a popular stage comedian in the 1920s and revived his career starring in the long-running Broadway comedy . It was also the last appearance by silent star Leatrice Joy.
Your channel is like a Marilyn Monroe library, even if you quit now, we still have tons of Marilyn materials to look for in order to remember her🥰🥰🥰that's a big legacy you've got there
Fun look back at NYC in the post-war years. A lot of the brownstones and apartment buildings were chopped up into smaller units during WW2 and afterwards as the soldiers came back and there was a housing shortage. I found after some research my first apartment in NYC on Central Park West, a 1 bedroom with a view of the park, was $120/month in 1968, quite a bit of money then. When it converted to a condo, I could see the original floorplan from 1911. Originally just 4 apartments per floor, it was divided into 11 per floor...badly. That's the sad thing about most apartment buildings in NYC....as historic as they are, there were so many renovations and changes over time, as well as tremendous wear and tear from generations of families coming and going.
Eleven years later, and new to NYC, I paid $180.00 for a railway apartment on Clinton Street, Lower Eastside and thought what a deal! Goes to show how financially ravaged the city and the economy were by 1979.
Muchas Gracias!, gracias por esta joya de la carrera Monroe, esa escena sobre la silla playera es absolutamente memorable y que quedó en la memoria de muchos hombres hasta nuestros días. Muchas gracias nuevamente
It's a very entertaining movie, escapism at its best. I love watching all those small details from the 50s; the decor, bottles of milk, blankets, signs of fresh paint, and of course, the prices; Rent was $56 a month and the plumber asked for $3.50 an hour. Our dollar is in such trouble!
That's because they use to have"censorship" somehow the studio's stopped watching what was said & done in the movies.Thats why so many of them are plain ol' garbage,🤷♀️🤮!!!
I grew up in the 50s we did not have vulgarity in elementary school or anywhere back then. Young folks cannot fathom what that was like. It's too bad things got extremely vicious. I am so glad I had a piece of the time when times were friendly and ethical. No sneakers in school when I went, no jeans, suit and necktie and girls all in a dress even if you were poor you looked like a million!!!!
This film really taught me, or reminded me, of the art of living. How staying calm and graceful hopeful and humorous are fortunate traits in a human being no matter what the circumstances.Even if Charlie had been more of a real crook, he awoke sympathy because of his charm, humour, social and psycholgical care and addition of romanticism and tyhe golden edge to everyday life. Also the husband stayed positive despite all his problems, and his lovely wife too, mostly. Good to see how he knew how to soothe her, give her what a woman needs: emotional support. And all the women looked nice. Just think what stress and hurry, sitting still at the TV etc has done to us. All these stayed in the parasympathetic nervous system mode, the wife struggling a bit , supporting health and longevity. Were the twins born by the wife? If so, they should have directed her to be more convincing of fertility.
WOW! You must belong in a science museum or something! Being able to tell whether someone is fertile just by looking at them, that's incredible. I mean, even Dr's can't tell fertility until they measure sp3rm count or egg count. Do you have some sort of sonogramic vision?? Amazing!
The husband was negative. The wife was positive. The husband did nothing but loudly complain about his problems. The wife had to explain to him how the problems were positive for the building and their future. The husband was positive about the living with a sexy blonde, the thieving, gigolo criminal, and his accepting the ill-gotten gains ($800). The wife had to explain to him how he lied about the sexy blonde, and how it was a crime to accept the ill-gotten gains.
Sky line in the city of new York ,in the 1940s an 1950s brings lots of memories.the old black an whites . They don't an can't make films like this. Marvelous.
Loved the story, can't beat the oldies but not in love with the character Jim, what a whiner and pessimist and the way he berated his wife raised my hackles instantly! But, those were the times so I choose to ignore it and accept that was the culture back then and enjoy the film.
@@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272 I concur. And if Little Brian Stelter of CNN News was around in that time and challenges her to arm wrestle with him at Madison Square Garden, she would send his arm crashing thru the table to the astonishment of the audience.
Great Scott! She bought a brownstone house with a mortgage? How much did a brownstone cost in 1945? When her husband came home in August of that year? And I am a New Yorker who is a baby boomer from the 1950s.
Leatrice Joy , a big star during the silent era before Marilyn Monroe was born , but here playing a supporting role in her latter years noted how most of the men who were working on this picture were eyeing MM in her early period .
At 6:09 Blossom Rock, Janette MacDonald's sister. She's uncredited in the pic. I looked it up. She was a wonderful source of info for the book, "Sweethearts"....about her sister's romance with Nelson Eddy. Fascinating!!!
Makes perfect sense. Nice apartments are expensive in nicer parts of the city. So they bought a run down building in a bad part of town they could finance instead. Not that hard to figure out.
Best comic surprise ending... split my side laughing ! Seems in her bit part early work, directors may have been a bit afraid of just how sexy MM was... but they sure noticed (towel scene).
Is it just me or does anyone else see this movie as the playbook of the tinder swindler??? Same M.O 😂 he probably saw this movie and concocted a grand scheme which is working out for him really…should be expecting his book soon too📕 😅

Elegant and classy people
Such people barely exist today. What's 'in' is being rude, obnoxious and shameless. Humanity has reached its peak, now it's regressing.
Frank Fay was anything but elegant and classy but if you like bigots 🤷🏼♀️
"He's Walking Right Into A Trap; Yeah But Look At The Bait." Great one liners in this delightful movie.
Marilyn was very young and beautiful here. As always. I want to see more of her in this film.

This is the only movie with Marilyn I've not seen, thank you so so much 💗
The one and only Marilyn Munro, we love darling and appreciate all your fine and fabulous acting... until we meet again.✨💫
Thank you 💜
Marilyn is about half - way to her signature breathy child like voice. Interesting to hear her real voice without the seductive whisper.
she looks like a school girl in some of these scenes, e.g. at the gala ball. It's a little disturbing.
@@helenlauer9545 Not really. This film is innocent. It's your own traumatic past that is making you see things that aren't there.

Always in my heart forever ♾ rip queen Marilyn. I hope I see her someday like in my dreams
same i would love to meet her ❤️
eso es romanticismo yo como hombre tambien la llevare en mi corazon ,barbie de oro
Count me in. I feel her spirit. 🙏🏻
💖👋🏻
Same she is like my second mom
What a wonderful movie! Shame Marilyn wasn’t in it much but the other cast members were fabulous. Can’t wait to rewatch it with my sister sometime!
Always loved her since I first saw her on TV when I was 5 years old. 💘💋🥰😍🤩😘💋💘 That was 61 years 😳ago.

Like them all she's great in this.

Actually it is timed for around September of 1945!
Wait til we have hyperinflation this year with gasoline, diesel fuel and aviation fuel rationed.
@@luislaplume8261 It does make sense that the story takes place post world war 2, but I don't remember seeing it anywhere...?
In 1951 the culture was still about the post-war 1940's except for the remodelled building frontage at the very end.

The old movies are great, because there is no swearing or bad language..
That's because they use to have"censorship" somehow the studio's stopped watching what was said & done in the movies.Thats why so many of them are plain ol' garbage,🤷♀️🤮!!!
I agree. I recently saw an old western and a cowboy said 'heck' instead of hell and that was probably pretty risky for those days!
Exactly. 💯 I've Tried Watching Movies Now A Days, Swearing, Nudity, Violence. They Can Have It
God Bless 💗🙌
Vulgarity is a crutch for lack of creativity and articulateness, which most script writers lack nowadays.
I grew up in the 50s we did not have vulgarity in elementary school or anywhere back then. Young folks cannot fathom what that was like. It's too bad things got extremely vicious. I am so glad I had a piece of the time when times were friendly and ethical.

Wonderful old film and actors!
Just loved it. Great film.
Thanks for the memories
1951. Single beds for a young married couple. Well that soon changed in the 1950's. Great film! Everything about it.
No one ever like MM and even today, no one compares! 💋

Curious, if his story gets $750 in 1951, what buying power is that now? 2 estimates are $8,017 or $7814 in 2021.
I feel like it’s worth maybe up to $20,000 in today’s money. Even A dollar took you a lottttt further in 1950.
But remember, this film is actually towards the end of 1945 or Spring 1946
I thought the young owner of the building (June Haver) was MM until she arrived in the film. I wondered how she could have changed that much. 🤭
I was definitely born in the wrong decade...
Poor kitty is always getting hurt😢
Wow look at NY
Does anyone know the name of a movie where Marilyn plays the role of a married woman who participates in a beauty contest?
Maybe ,,we are Not married,,?
$4000 down payment for a whole apartment building 🥺
There's nothing dumb about Marilyn Monroe.Tony
Now we know where the Tinder Swindler got the idea from to con women. Although in real life he’s a “Hero” and a “Star”.
