Great acting. Great plot. Why can't they make movies like this today? Love Monty Wooley.

This is so good to watch, no sex, no swearing, no horrible nightmarish things to spoil the sleep. Thank you so much.
So true, just people caring about others. Sorely lacking today.
My kind of movie
@Duncan Alvaro degenerate
So I guess it's not worth watching 😁
And a production code that would be called politically correct government censorship today. I can’t imagine a single actor of note in this film advocating that only films like this should be made to the exclusion of the films we have today with far more realistic storytelling and portrayals of life as it is actually lived then or now.
Great movie. Not one wasted moment of my Sunday.
Most enjoyable, thank you, they just don't make movies like that anymore.
A heck of a lot better than the trash Hollywood is putting out now.
🙄 There are excellent films and television programs being produced today, especially in television. I love these older films, grew up on them on television, but I so tire of people saying it was so much better than now. There was a helluva lot trash then too, and whatever its pleasures, it isn’t as though this film is a pinnacle of the craft. Maybe you need to be more discreet in what you choose to watch.
Your right
@@inkyguy Theres a big big difference then and now. No foul language, no cursing, no nudity, no unnatural insanity, females dressed like females, males dressed like males, no forcing distasteful and untimely diversity messages that pull you out of the story and so many more differences. Today disney even snuck in disgusting perversion in the lightyear movie.
That commenter is right this is better that todays media. If there were no differences I would watch modern media.
@@yougetagoldstar, my, you’re a fragile sort.
I agree with you now today it's all Ghostbusters remasters and all that stuff the oldies are better
Thank you for a lovely 'gentle' film.
The wonderful Gracie who never forgot her 'roots.
Just discovered this. I love Roddy! Now I have a new treasure, Gracie Fields. Monty Woolley never disappoints. Thank you for sharing this!
I Hate McDowell
Absolutely delightful. When Grace and Monty sang that song in the last scene the words came flooding back. I remember singing that song as a child...and that was over 60 years ago. Thank you gf1001. You have made an old man very happy tonight. 😀😀😀
There's something about Gracie Fields that's outstandingly lovely. She is indeed Our Gracie.
Such an intelligent film. Gracie was a great actress. I never thought I’d be saying this but, It’s a shame they don’t make them like this anymore. But of course, it does depend on what the audience understands.
I wish I was born back then. There's so purity and excellence in their acting. Loved it
I don't know how I missed seeing this before now (2022)? This was really good! Recognized a very young Roddy McDowall instantly. The more I heard her voice I finally recognized "Mrs. Howell" from Gilligan's Island. LOL!
This was really good and not to over the top with slap-stick or gratuitous comedy.
I really enjoyed the sting at the end. I was holding my breathe thinking Mrs. Graham was going to come back to the room and bust them. That's what contemporary movie/TV plots and writers would have done - just to add unnecessary drama and drag things out.
I could see this being a TV show. Then again, today's writers, producers and networks would muck it up with violence, profanity, sex and g issues. Better to leave a classic well enough alone.
Thanx for posting this!!!
Great movie!! Love the classics... Someone should take on the task of remastering these movies before they disappear!! I could hardly make out the faces of these memorable actors!!
Very clear to me.
Yes I agree, they're losing their clarity
I love this movie . It's so much more than anyone else in years . Delight clean humor . Joyous little piece .
I remembered every word of Christopher Robin. We were good kids way back when. Wonderful movie. Thanks 🙏
He hated Winnie the Pooh . He grew to hate his father A.A.Milne , didn't talk to his father for many years , didn't go to his father's funeral .
@@mandeville7474 you must be fun at parties
Such fine actors, I love these movies.
My Dad was extremely kind and extremely generous . tender warm hearted. He is in heaven and I really miss him. He was full of devotion towards me. My dad and mum adored me
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful treasure! I loved every minute of it and was hoping that it would go on forever. ❤❤❤ The housekeeper was a delight, and the rest of the characters were perfect. Thank you so much for putting up this video!

Gracie Fields and Monty Wooley were a wonderful double act, they made a few terrific films like this together- madcap and whimsical, with Gracie's beautiful singing always " in the mix!"
Natalie Schafer is a gem . She does " Lady Upper Crust " parts so well . ❤😊❤
Wonderful feel good movie. Great cast,great acting and great story. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely heart-warming!!! Didn't want it to end!!
ME NIETHER.....GOOD FILM
Hey!! Dios es meo is my line.
Oops. Mio
@@nildacrespo1683 did you also mean dip moo😊
@@paulcaron400 dios es mio is Spanish for God is mine
ahh, THANK YOU for going to all the trouble to get it out of the archives and onto a DVD and then sharing it with all of us.
How wonderful of you!!
This movie put the biggest smile on my face. Thank you! 💖
Wonderful ... many thanks.
This is the only way I can relive a Victorian era. I hate when the movies end because I'd love to stay there forever. What a great cast. I LUV it. Precious!
Victorian era was from 1837-1901. This was set around 1937.
@BAMovin strictly speaking you are quite right. However, at least at the outset this household seems to be "stuck in the previous era" with its traditions, way of doing things etc.
“That’s no good, they’ll think I worked in a haunted house”, I can’t get enough of that scene. Great example of mateship and looking out for your friends. In simpler years of course……
Love the film, thank you for uploading.
Simpler years? Really? Do you know what the world was like and had just gone through when this was released in 1945? Millions slaughtered, most of them innocent civilians. And that is considering “just” the war.
The only thing simpler about 1945 is the figment of that world that you’ve conjured in your own mind.
@@inkyguy I'll bet you're a lot of fun at parties...
@andrewvoya: I agree!!!
He's not wrong though, socialism brought the bloodiest century in human history and this is the answer to it!!
This was my favorite line too! :)
What a delightful film! Thank you for uploading.
So glad you enjoyed this classic film, a brilliant cast.
One of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a long, long while. Well done!
Wow now that was real entertainment Movies that left you with a happy feeling. That all is good with the world and everyone in it
How can this movie have any dislikes is beyond me!!
This movie took me exactly where I needed to go today. Back. I smiled when I recognized faces.
Delightful movie. Easy viewing, fun and relaxing. Thanks for uploading.
I watched a film with her in it yesterday. It was magnificent. She played an American and with the help of her British friend they allowed British airman to escape. I can’t remember what it was called.
So I’m hooked and now watching this film.
I haven’t watched tv in over a year and don’t miss it.
These amazing, wonderful films are such a pleasure to watch with brilliant acting and an actual storyline, instead of sex, drugs, cgi, or violence.
Thank you so much for allowing us to watch this film. I wish I was round in this era. My Grannie always said she had the best life.
What a delightful movie! Thank you.
The actress Natalie Schafer (lady Burroughs) is the actress that played the Mrs Howell on gilligans island
Lovie Howell. 😁
Ok, "3 mos. ago!!" This is my first time seeing this!!! & I saw correctly.... Who's the boy??? Roddy McDowell? (I'm watching this on my phone/ not tv!!!!!
@@elizabethbowie9753 yes it is Roddy McDowell.
wow, no foolin'?
What an absolutely wonderful movie. So Happy I found this. & TY for sharing. I want more!
What a wonderful movie! Thank you.
Great cast. Warm and sweet without being maudlin.
Gracie Fields was great - so versatile. I loved her in Madame Pimpernel that was also made in1945 where she played second to Constance Bennett as a timid sidekick.
Good grief -what a delightful movie!! I loved the Christopher Robin song too!
I live in Northumberland, UK, and used to work in a local care home. A lady resident with dementia we had in, her dad had worked behind the scenes in films back then, and Gracie Fields had known this lady when she was a child, (who will have visited the sets with her dad), and apparently took her by the hand to walk, in between filming. I just thought this to be so interesting.
One of the very, very few American films set in England that actually looks like a British film.
Enjoyed the film very much, a wonderful bunch of characters played by unforgettable actors fondly remembered
Monty Wooley and Roddy McDowell - can't wait!!!! how i miss all these films - and so easy to see on TV. . . :}
A really fun movie....I am a big fan of the varied set textures in movies from the 1940's....This wonderful film is beautifully staged and presented.....true mastercraft....thank you for posting it.....
That was an excellent move!!! Love Gracie Fields!! 💞💞💞 There’s nothing better than old movies
LOVE - LOVE THIS!!! LIFE SHOULD BE THIS FUN & UNDERSTANDING... ~ PEACE TO ALL
A marvelous comedy!
Thanks so much for this.
Never saw a movie with Gracie Fields until today. In fact this is the second one I've watched. Loved both of them. Wonderful movie.
SUCH A WONDERFUL MOVIE NEVER SAW THIS GEM. TY FOR SHARING
I've always loved M. Wolley but never new Gracie Fields. What a lovely voice. This was delightful, thank you so much!
That was so much better than I expected. And I'd watch it again.
Ahh what a real feel good film. Thank you for sharing. Great story.
80 years on and the laughs comes so easy. Tells you something about writing, acting and production. A real treat, a treasure.
Thoroughly charming treasure of a film. Wonderful performances and pacing. Thank you for preserving and sharing this precious film.
A wonderful movie! I'd always heard about Gracie Fields - she was quite famous in England - but I never realized how talented she was. Such a pleasing actress. Thank you for posting this very entertaining movie.
😮"(What will we do now?)What actors do best :ACT!"😊Not only graceful Gracie but elegant manner of playing.I will put her on top of my favourites ❤
All great people, all great characters .And what a plot !
Thoroughly enjoyed it ❤ THANKS for the upload ❤
I never thought this film would be so popular? glad you like it try the other ones Paris Underground and Holy Matrimony...
@@gf1001 loved Holy Matrimony, such a clever plot - Monty Woolley has a gift of making the eccentric seem very plausible! Full of fun...
What a wonderful surprise of a movie then what I was expecting it to be about!! I haven’t seen such a fun whimsical movie in a very long time and I’m delighted to have seen this one today!! Thank you for making it available. Years ago, many years ago,
I watched black-and-white movies with my parents in the evening or on the weekends and this was the type of movie that we would watch. It was a wonderful time in my life and I thank you for making this available to me again long after they have passed. I would love to see more like this again. God bless you😊♥️♥️
Simply Wonderful !!
Bravo !!❣️👏
Thank you for this movie !!❣️❣️❣️
Wonderful Gracie Fields.Yet another British Treasure!!!! I'm an american who discovered her late. I'm so grateful that some of her work is preserved for me to explore. What a JOY!
A lovely movie . Thx .
What a lovely light-hearted film; great ending! Thank you for sharing it.
Wonderful! Gracie was adorable! Great acting.
WHAT A SLENDID AND FUN MOVIE TO WATCH LOVED IT!
Enjoyed my first exposure to Gracie Fields. Monty Woolley markedly improves any movie he’s in. Reginald Gardiner is also tops. Great fun; many thanks for posting.
No X rated movies! Just good old fashioned entertainment, LOVE IT!!!!!
gem of a movie...thanks for posting!!
Wow this movie was so much fun. I thought it was a movie with W.C. Fields. but instead found this and I am not disappointed either. It had so many levels of interesting ideas and I enjoyed every second of it. As well I can say that I found a new to me actress in Gracie Field that I think is fun and very talented. Thank you Gf 1001.
This is wonderful!!! Such a sweeet movie! Five stars in my opinion.
beautiful film thankyou
It is good to watch a good feel good film. Gracie is very good to watch. Very good indeed.
Excellent movie!
Excellent. This was absolutely excellent! Thank you so much!
What a Wonderful, Enjoyable movie! I didnt see the cast of actors, but absolutely recognized in the role of the son was a very, young Roddy McDowell. If I'm not mistaken he also while young had a major role in The National Velvet Movie with stunning and beautiful young Elizabeth Taylor. They remained good friends throughout their lives. Keep up the good work and look forward to more excellent movies of this calibre!🎥🎬👍👍♥️♥️👍👍
Churchill convinced Gracie Fields to go to America. As a toddler in L..A at the time I sat with my late twin brother in our high chairs, and Gracie would come on the radio at six in the evening with a program to hearten the troops. She opened each show singing, 'We're one for all and all for one." My brother and I would wave our spoons in time to the song. I don't remember this, but my mother told me about it.
Great tour de force performance by Natalie Schafer. Imagine a career that spanned acting opposite both Monte Woolley and Bob Denver. And Monte Woolley never disappoints. He would be great even reading the phone book.
Read his bio and learn the identity of some of his college students--- who later became famous authors.
Have you seen him in _The Man Who Came to Dinner_ ?
@@inkyguy Yes. His signature film.
Watched this one more than once! Excellent acting and entertainment. Thank you for sharing this!
What a gem! Thankyou so much for sharing this!
