This was the best film I have seen in 2023. What amazing story and acting. Great cast too. I love old black and white films they have quality and depth.
I agree ! They don’t make movies like this anymore 😢
There's more as great as this...one...
Neville Shute is a brilliant author
I couldn't agree more. And notice there's no million dollar special effects, it's just all talented Humanity display itself with dignity and excellence.
It's amazing how our culture and society can get smarter and more stupid all at the same time.
Read the book, as usual better than the movie.
Happy Birthday to the airline stewardess played by Glynis Johns who turned 100 years old on October 5, 2023.
She’s still alive? Wow. She was one of my favs.
Is
She died yesterday, RIP !
@@Mike-zw7fq ‘is she.’
It is worth noting that while Stewart plays a character who is a scientist/engineer, and plays the role as a “somewhat forgetful, bumbling” or “absent minded” and confused guy who had never flown before, Stewart was in real life a decorated WW2 B-24 bomber pilot who flew more than 20 combat missions and was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses and other medals. He was promoted to Colonel in 1945, and continued to serve in the US Air Force Reserve until he was 60 years old, when he retired as a Brigadier General. He also flew other bombers including the B-52.
So, Jimmy Stewart not only knew a lot about aircraft, he was a decorated combat pilot in WW2 and later flew the latest jet bombers in the US Air Force.
I encourage all fans of Jimmy Stewart to read his bio page on Wikipedia to learn a some more details about his extraordinary military service.
A fine and memorable film! I remember during the NASA investigation of the Challenger disaster, this movie was brought up and it was pointed out that no engineer at Morton Thiokol, knowing about the problem with the "O" Rings on the solid rocket boosters, had the moral courage to emulate James Stewart's character and stop the shuttle launch by any means necessary. This movie was well known by the astronauts, scientists, and engineers conducting the hearing.
RIP Glynis Johns (1923-2024) 100yrs old. Good charismatic actress.
She was!! 💐🤝❤️
THE COURT JESTER
James Stewart was such a gifted actor. I watched this movie when I was a teenager and was blown away by his acting. Wanted to watch it again ever since, now after 35 years. Sigh
It would be easier to point out which movies he was in that were not about flight, than those in which he was. Strategic Air Command was a good film for him. That film showcased the B-36 in all its leviathan beauty.
James Stewart plays his role very well. This is a example of someone on the Autism spectrum, Asperger’s and ADHD. High functioning but, very, very intelligent. My husband (gone now for over 8 years) was and it would blow my mind on how intelligent, problem solving, and knowing so much! Miss him so much!
I love Jimmy. Even though I know he's acting, I always get caught up in his characters. Great patriot, actor and human being.
I can't think of a current actor that fits that bill. None currently have served in the military.
I hope the future young adults get to somehow experience this awesome man.
Little did anyone realize then the role that Gander would play on 9/11, when the planes that couldn't land in the US landed there. The people of Gander all pitched in to make the passengers and crew feel welcome, well cared for, and safe despite all the goings on in the US. So many aircraft were parked at the Gander airport than people wondered how they would all be able to make room for them to take off again.
I didn't know. Thank you for the information. And thanks to the people of Gander.
Yes, I couldn't place where Gander was in my mindset. Thank you for reminding us of its historic part it played during the 9/11 tragedy.
The young girl Janette Scott playing Stewart's daughter is a delight.
How the hell did I miss this! Awesome film. Get tissues, get snacks and step back in time for a nail biting ride.
Fabulous cast, beautifully acted.
Jimmy Stewart was quite an actor! In this, not only his facial expressions but his walk, movements-everything made his character completely believable.
James Stewart PILOTED B-24 LIBERATOR BOMBERS during WW2, rose to the rank of COLONEL, & received the DFC (Distinguished Flying Cross) during his wartime service. His extensive flying experience makes the part he plays in this film particularly interesting. Thank You for sharing it with us !
it was the B-47 and B-52.
Those came later...@@watchgoose
@@blusnuby2 He remained in the reserves post war, and continued flying. A true hero. Worth reading about on the internet.
Yes, i am aware of that. He became a Brigadier General in the reserves. I don`t give the title of 'hero' out lightly. In my humble opinion Mr. Stewart was extremely PATRIOTIC, but not a hero. Policemen & Firemen, in general, are NOT heroes either, because they are PAID to do, what most folks would balk at, on a daily basis. Only in (extreme cases) would they deserve the moniker 'hero.' Going ABOVE & BEYOND with a (big) splash of DANGER, is my definition of a HERO....@@DrPowerElectronics
Not to mention that the experience gave him ptsd and darkened his acting considerably.
I always love the ending. Of course, I love the whole movie. It's a masterpiece of story and acting by all involved. As usual, Jimmy aces his character, as the fumbling scientist who thinks "it's time I got home" when he's actually home The marriage proposal, coming from the lady, is really cute and I love Elsbeth and the games she likes to play, like "Egyptology". I own this dvd but I've been watching the movie since way before they invented dvd's, way back in the early 60s .
Jimmy was a true gem.
I saw this movie years ago and could never remember the name. It is a fantastic movie! Thank you for posting this!
Piece of true art. Classic what a classic. James Stewart. What a movie ?? Just unforgettable actors. Fascinating.
What a great movie! I can't believe I've never seen it before. And what wonderful casting. Jimmy Stewart is great as the genius scientist with a tenuous grasp of day to day life, and Marlene Dietrich does a fine job with her part. And Glynis Johns and all the rest. Although I knew the tail would fall off, I was still on the edge of my seat.
Jimmy Stewart flew a complete tour as a bomber pilot over Germany in WWII. He went ton to achieve the rank of Brigadier General (one star) in the Air National Guard before retiring.
You should read the book.
@@Absaalookemensch Not just flew missions as pilot in charge but he flew as a Bomber wing Commander often in charge of the Path Finder aircraft a very dangerous mission profile. He dealt with serious PTSD the rest of his life.
This was the first time I'd seen this film, James Stewart, an absolute legend, and a fine supporting cast, with a number of well known actors/actresses including one of my favourite actors when I was a boy, Kenneth More, who was probably one of the best British actors of the 50s/60s, but this is James Stewart's picture, of that there's no doubt
In 1970 I was at work (aged 18) and was asked by Derek, a workmate, who my favourite actor was. I answered "Jimmy Stewart". Fifty-three years later my answer would be the same. Thank you DDF for the upload. A really enjoyable movie.
Cool story. I’ve always loved Jimmy Stewart. Such a wonderful guy and great actor. He’s had so many fantastic roles.
How did I ever miss this film. A genuine attention grabber. I enjoy how James Stewart was able to offer snippets of humor within the drama. Thank you for posting this.
RIP Glynis’s thanks for all the great movies and that voice is legendary
❤RIP beautiful, was watching this film yesterday, watching again in your honour ❤
Gosh is there any part JS can’t play. I thought I had seen all his movies so this is a treasure. So many great British actors in this too.
Fortunately he wasn't working for Boeing or he would have been found dead in a parking lot.😬
Exactly🥶
The behaviors of Mr. Honey is definitely that of someone with Asbergers. My one son is an aerospace engineer with exactly the same traits. I love this movie, especially since I can see my son in the role that James Stewart played.
Same here, only my son is reduced to toiling away in food joints and box stores despite two semesters of comm college for his love of music due to Asperger's and it's side symptoms and "normals" continued attitude that they are freaks of some kind. 😡
Right on, very interesting.
Marlene Dietrich. Absolute quality.
Jimmy Stewart really a great actor, he just fit right in with Character he plays. Very interesting and great casts
Great film. A story taken from a 1948 book by a brilliant author called Nevil Shute. The book was “No Highway”.
My mum (bless her) used to work in the RAE at Farnborough in the metallurgy lab, doing stress testing work. She told me once; that the remnants of one of the doomed Comets came in so that they could do testing on it.
The RAE is still there, but doesn’t do the sort of work now that it used to. Such a shame.
So much UK research capability has been lost over the years. The wind tunnels at Bedford, National Gas Turbine Establishment, Nuclear research at Winfrith.....
He also wrote “0n the Beach”
Very suspenseful. What a sleeper. This should have been one of the best movies. Marlena Deitrick was fabulous.
Yes she was amazing, now I see what all the fuss has been about her. Pure gold
What a shocker! This movie is a 10! The storyline, the tensity, the drama, the acting, the suspense, the overall feel! This movie was a nailbiter through till the end which had me fall in love with the main characters and feel contempt for the oppressors. The surprises throughout the film and the endearing characters make this one of my all time favorites. This movie will not disappoint.
I've watched over 600 films this year and I have to say this is up there with the best of them........never heard of it before ....I was watching The Bishops wife with Cary Grant and this popped up next....Great movie.....I actually think its better than Jimmy Stewarts Hitchcock pics ...and they are pretty good......
Yet another masterpiece from the pen of aeronautical engineer Nevil Shute, author of "On the Beach, A Town like Alice, and Trustee From the Toolroom" to name but 3. First published in 1948, the book opens up the post war world of England, a time of confussion, rationing and general uncertainty. Spiritulism was widespread, with veterens trying to connect with comrades who were lost in WW2.- Thought provoking, as are most of Mr Shute's works, it displays the many facets of men, from the sheer bloody mindset of the genius, to the tender love of a father ill equiped to cope after the tragic loss of a young wife. Overall, the perfect foil to the "Me Me" attitude of the 2020's displayed by the more giving attitude of a Nation recovering from devastating times. Maybe we should all look at this movie and draw lessons as to how we can make our own world a little less confrontational and more be understanding of others.
Well said. I agree completely. Cheers.
Thank you for the info. This film touches me each time I watch it as deeply as did reading On The Beach 57 year ago to do a school report on it. There I go crying about it again.
I look forward to finding his books. Thank you for guiding me to them.
Hear Hear! 🎩
Surprised by so many famous faces. Lovely to see them together. No idea James Stewart and Glynis Johns had ever appeared together.
They actually did two films together this one and Dear Brigitte in 1965
Brigadier General Jimmy Stewarts love of aviation prevails again!
Glynis Johns who plays the stewardess is still alive. She was born October 1923, the film is from 1951, so she would've been 27. Remarkable. Always liked her voice. Janette Scott who played the daughter is also still alive. She's now 84.
The women make this otherwise dull plot come alive. How to sort out these men?
I also think that Jimmy Stewart's antics at the beginning is where Jacques Tati got Monsieur Hulot. The raincoat, umbrella, bumbling. Squinting up at his own address... I always thought it was obvious that M. Hulot was a caricature of an Englishman, Jimmy Stewart's character is an American Anglophile.... close enough. M. Hulot's Holiday was released in 1953. I've thought this since Playtime, no one else seems to agree.
I didn't believe you, so I looked it up. You're right! She's a hundred years old!
Love women's fashion of this era. It was so elegant.
They don’t make movies like this one any more, I loved it.
I’m a classic film fan but I never heard of this film before today. I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s the type of intelligent, well acted heartwarming film that sadly Hollywood is currently incapable of making.
ain't that the truth
I haven't enjoyed a movie like this in a long time. Worth watching again!
Such a splendid cast: Stewart, Dietrich, Kenneth More and Niall MacGinnis, to name but several fine actors who, taken together, made this such an enjoyable film.
As many times as I've seen this movie, I get hooked into watching it again and again. The actors are all superb and I've always had a crush for Glynis Johns, her voice was fantastic, may she RIP.
Yes, indeed. She had a very attractive voice and lovely eyes.
I absolutely loved this movie, for many reasons. I could write different layers of ideas expressing it.. I love the fact that the movie is not about good and evil, it is about people thriving to do their best, dealing with their consciousness and their challenges. And it is so gentle, so kind in provoking reflexion. I love the kindness it conveys.
Jimmy Stewart made some fantastic movies and this is certainly one of them. Flight of the Phoenix is also one of his best.
Life imitated art in a tragic way after this film was release. In 1952 the DeHavillian Comet, the world's first commercial jet airliner, was put in service. Two years later the Comet had to be taken out service when two Comets came apart in midair. The cause was metal fatigue.
Wow I wasn’t expecting that but have looked it up, I didn’t know that this movie was so old , 👏🇦🇺
One of the lesser known Jimmy Stewart movies, good flick, ironic he was quite the bomber pilot.
When Marlene Dietrich appeared early in this movie, I wondered where she would take us in this story. A woman of strong convictions who stood her ground firmly during WWII, it's fitting that she would play a major role in this film about a scientist's strong stand based on his research. An wonderful film for sure....
Hitler had a price on her head.
❤I was talking with my audiologist , a young man in his mid thirties recently. I was telling him a story about Jimmy Stewart . He never heard of Jimmy Stewart. I asked him if he had seen the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”. He never heard of the movie. I was a little shocked, but it is understandable. Even the greatest are often forgotten with time. I suggested in the next Christmas Season he watch the movie , and experience the acting ability of Jimmy Stewart.
In a thousand years, no one will care
It's a Wonderful Life should be of interest to a audiologist.
"He never heard of Jimmy Stewart" Maybe thirty years ago, there was for a time an antique store of sorts at the big South Coast Plaza mall in Southern California. I only remember this because they offered a framed uncashed check written by Stewart for a stay on Catalina Island or something. The price asked for this example of Stewart's signature was far less than the face value of the check (decades old by then). So as a financial matter at least, the recipient should have just cashed the check rather than waited for its value to increase.
As a child, I didn't realize that It's a Wonderful Life was old and that Jimmy Stewart no longer looked like his handsome self in that movie. When I found out, I was crushed, as I had had such a crush ON him. That movie is my favorite of all time, and I watch it and bawl my eyes out at the end every Christmas.
@@twistoffate4791 Like the USA tweener recently who had become a big fan of Michael McDonald's singing, only to find out that he now looks like a grandpa vs whatever she had pictured.
A fun pastime for those of us well into the "Senior" category is watching a TV show or something from the 1970s (in my case), and invariably noticing how the "old" guys as remembered back then turn out to have been in maybe their thirties or forties.
This movie foretold the story of the De Havilland Comet, the worlds first jetliner that catastrophically failed due to unforeseen metal fatigue.
RIP Glynis you are missed! Loved you in this movie and Mary Poppins.
Please don't cut off the opening and end credits ; many of us like to read them
agreed! especially with the thumbnail links that appear over the last few seconds, and then an advert suddenly comes blaring in! Makes a very unsatisfying end... 🤨
John Doe Agreed, but I think this was worse. I don't remember "Mr. Honey's" boss arriving at the gate in his car as the first scene in the film. I may be wrong; I will watch the DVD when I have the time.
@@stephenharper4440 yes, I've never seen the start, but there's certainly an odd edit there!
This channel always cuts the start and end, I guess they don't they don't pay for them so just get rid of any legal details? - I've no idea what the copyright laws are, though I can't complain, I do enjoy watching them... 🤥
@@JohnDoe-tx8lq Credits at the beginning and end were much shorter back then.
@@eucliduschaumeau8813 no, they weren't.
What a wonderful old film! Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Detrich, others, and that little girl! Can you imagine how long her hair would be with the braids taken out? Amazing, and probably just for this picture.
The innocence back in yesteryear was beautiful, can you imagine a father leaving a man he just met in his house with his 12 year old daughter. Then the daughter inviting the man up to her bedroom.
I found that to be odd at any time in history just didn't set well with me..
Yes, when I saw that I was shocked, surprised and speechless
Ignorance. Women scream too much
As a teacher, that scene set up a scare for me, so glad it was innocent. But he should have never ever left his young daughter with a strange man! Or even a known one should have never gone up to her bedroom with just her, it didn't set well. Otherwise, I loved the movie, good plot, good actors, a nice surprise, when I thought I'd seen all of James Stewart's films.
A little unsettling, to say the least.
Man, what a scary time; no Karen's, no one peeing in the aisle, no one trying pop open the emergency doors midflight, smoking allowed......how did we ever survive til today???
I'll watch any movie with Jimmy Stewart in it, wonderful film, loved it😊
I realized right at the beginning that this is the film I have been looking for for years. It's a fictionalized story about the "first" jet passenger plane, the De Haviland "COMET". The Comet did end up failing from metal fatigue only a year or two after this came out and this film was trying to warn them that it could and would happen, if the design were not changed. They call the plane the "Reindeer" in the film instead of the Comet, which was the name of Santa's reindeer.
It is not about pressurization cycles and the fatigue could be seen in cracks and was not spontaneous like this fiction but a more generalized plot about moving too fast so safety takes a back seat. 737 max is current example. Too sad that British aviation never recovered. Very prescient.
As I recall about the Comet, the weak part was the passenger windows. That’s why today they are circular, and not as the comet used. Structurally, a round window is much stronger.
The book was written in 1948. Comet was a little later than that.
@@NeilJR The Reindeer was written before the Comet began to detonate over the oceans and seas. Metal fatigue was poorly understood at the time. It was the alternative pressurization and depressurization that eventually wore down the skin of the comet.
The "Reindeer" clearly has propellers and the Flight Engineer talks of monitoring the pistons. It does not feature jets at all except with the Test Pilot at RAE.
“I see, and that means the tail will fall off.” All one syllable 💯🤣
Indeed, it's the best film I have seen so far this year. Wow. Acting by the daughter and Mrs Teasdale was superb.
I enjoyed that immensely I adored Glynis in it
Many, many years ago, when I was in high school, I read the book "No Highway" and then, a few years later, watched this movie.
BTW, back in the days of piston engine aircraft, Gander airport was busy with most of the flights over the north Atlantic, as the planes didn't have the range to go much further. Also, several planes landed there when the North American airspace was shut down on 9/11.
I have to say that this was the most fulfilling movie I've seen in such a long long time and I've been a fan of black and white films ALL my life as they are usually just so easy going brilliant Movies but I've forgotten just how brilliant James Stewart was and I was actually installing software on my laptop at the table BUT the movie was so easy to follow that I was inadvertently following the storyline to a TEE cos at prominent moments I'd just spin around on my chair and look at my huge monitor to see the moment and there was just so much perfect clarification on the dialect and it was just such a brilliant script, so in depth and awesome and was just so funny in places and of course you'd absolutely NO SHADOW OF A DOUBT to disbelieve James Stewart at all. I have a seriously cluttered mind with severe PTSD and concentration for me is extremely difficult but for the entire duration of this movie I had such concentration with peace of mind that was just a sheer pleasure to watch and listen to. I'm 69, have renal failure but this movie has truly been a sheer pleasure to watch. Thank you so much to the uploader, Happy Christmas 2023
Bright Moments and Safe Passage for the New Year...a fellow sufferer 🐝🌹🌈
Incredible. Never seen or heard of this film before. The concept of Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich in a terraced house in Farnborough is weird. When Jack Hawkins first appeared I assumed he would have a learning role, but he hardly featured in it. Janette Scot was incredible as the daughter. The storyline is, in retrospect, poignant when the Comet disasters occurred not so long after this film came out - caused by metal fatigue.
Also Kenneth More in a bit part as the 1st officer
@@derekheeps1244 Yes, and Peter Murray the disc jockey (who was with Radio Luxembourg at the time of filming) is the radio operator.
Probably because it wasn’t Marlene Dietrich, it was Glynis Johns that was in the house in Farnborough with him
@@malcolmwhite6588 Of course it was, but Marlene visited the house.
@@harri2626 quite right -I open, my big mouth too soon, story of my life!😂😔
wonderful movie and stars. the actress playing his daughter is excellent.
Great movie. James Stewart was the best actor in those days.
Excellent film with Jimmy Stewart playing perfect role. The befuddled genius.
Being ex-Air Force I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
"Did you understand it?" "Not a word." - great dialogue by a wonderful cast.
Just too wonderful - very charming and poignant . Who doesn’t love a movie like this which contains all the strength , hope , courage , goodness and determination which we all try for in life ?
What a great movie ! Jimmy strikes again. I loved Elsbeth, she's so sweet and soft spoken, the perfect daughter for the absent minded scientist. And that was the cutest marriage proposal, from the lady to the man . Glynis Johns is perfect in her role and, like her soon to be step daughter, sweet and soft spoken . Saw this on TV around 1963 and loved it and I've watched it quite a few times since nd even own the dvd .
I absolutely love Jimmy Stewart. I’ve never seen this movie before. I love black and white old movies. I remember watching them in the 60s with my mom. Thank you for posting these. I can’t tell you how much that mean to me. It helps me walk down memory lane. 💜
Marlene Dietrich, Glynis Johns... wow what a cast.
Interestingly, three years after this movie was made, the first production de Havilland Comet, G-ALYP, broke up in mid-air while operating BOAC Flight 781 and crashed into the Mediterranean off the Italian island of Elba with the loss of all 35 on board. The reason was metal fatigue around rivet holes.
They were using a system of punching out the rivet holes which left imperfect edges which was a starting point for metal fatigue. Drilling out the holes solved this problem. There was also a problem with the skin thickness, it wasn't strong enough to deal with the stresses around cutouts like windows and doors.
rip glynis 100 years not a bad run
Loved her in Mary Poppins, and as the original Broadway vocalist for “Send in the Clowns”
Glynis Johns turned 100 in October 2023! What a lovely lady
I love this film...great cast.
Marlena reportedly was successful seducing Jimmy Stewart back in 1939 when they made 'Destry Rides Again' - but alas!
no repeat romance on this film!
I was not expecting to like this film...yet I did, very much
Jimmy Stewart delivers one of the great solilquoys as he's being fired... "and when it happens again, who ya gonna blame next?" Of course, it does happen again.
2nd time Ive watched in 2 days. This was the movie that came to mind when I learned of the death of Glynnis Johns. RIP Glynnis.
An excellent movie! Started slow, seemed odd, then I was practically on the edge of my seat!
Having Brigadier General James Stewart in this main role is so perfect. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’d actually flown this type of aircraft or something similar at some point in his career. And as he was in real life, a kind man who wasn’t too full of himself. One of my all time favorite actors.
Reindeer was a fake aircraft, but he might have flown it lol
@@stickitupyourasteric~ You wisely caught what I didn’t. 😄 When his character described what he was doing, the words he used reinforced that it’d have to be someone with his aeronautical background (regardless of memorization skills) to actually recite all of that!
Actually saw him coming out of the flight deck of a Pan Am jet a long time ago. Amazing man.
No one could play that part like Jimmy, and June, what a darling.
@306 Who's June? Do you mean Glynis..?
@@joshrogan9854
Are you saying that is not June Allison as the stewardess?
If you right then I am really loosing it and stand corrected.
@@306champion From Wiki: "Glynis Johns as Marjorie Corder, Stewardess" and "Jill Clifford as Peggy, Stewardess".
If Glynis Johns makes it to October 5th this year she will be able to celebrate her 100th birthday! Good luck! (2023)
I love Glynis Johns, esp. her sweet voice.
It's November 19, 2023 as I write this. 5:02 GMT time. Your comment shows it is from 3 hours ago, so around 2:02 GMT (9:02 pm Eastern US time.)
Im confused, because she already IS 100 years old. It is well past October 5 (her birthday.)
It seems your calculations were wrong; did you account for Temperature? 😉
It's hard to be right when you are alone.
I remember watching this movie 50+ years ago, could never remember the name of it, but always remembered the ending. Absolute first class acting, dialogue and suspense. Wonderful.
I watched this movie about 1969. It and “Fate is the Hunter” are why I chose to become an aerospace engineer instead of trying to become a commercial pilot.
Aside from being just a great movie, this is a period piece everyone should watch and be ashamed of our current emo-victim culture. The adult behavior of everyone in this movie in the face of mortal issues--including the child!--is a painful lesson on how far our society has degenerated, and on the madness of thinking any of us have better answers to important questions than they had in the past. Marlene's meditation on mortality is classic--as is her thinking as much about the person next to her as herself.
Full of big stars from the era... .and JS face at the end had no doubt in it... great portrayal, he is one of the best of all time! thanks for posting these collections!
What a movie !!!!! what a script !!! First: Do you have a light? Then: May I smoke? Showing the character of this famous film star just-like-that !!!! oh, and the director is Kevin Costner's granddad !!! Fancy that !!!!!
my measurements of the commercials was every 3.5 minutes. What a PITA for a movie with great actors and some clever conversations.

Always liked this flick, Glynis Johns was a perfectly soft instigator for Stewarts one-track minded character "Mr Honey" and how they got Ms Dietrich appear is the cherry.
What a gem! Never even heard of it before! And WHAT a cast!
What a lovely film. I like and enjoy all the films James Stewart is in, he is great actor. The character JS plays in this film must live in a tardis as the outside of the house looks very small but the inside looks very spacious and large.
Splendid movie. All-star cast. what a rare gem. Happy to find out that Gylnis Johns is still alive and well. Thanks for posting.
Turned 100 Oct. 5.
I love the admiration and respect these awesome women had for him and the surprising conclusion to one of the relationships. It really brought a warmth and depth to a story that would’ve otherwise been cold and non eventful.
This is a remarkable movie. I would have to say one of the best I’ve ever seen.
I saw this film and read the book, um, 60 years ago. Just as good today as it was then.
What a lovely perspective thank you for sharing it. ❤
So many acting legends in this movie with one of them still alive today.. what a surprise of a gem this was too bad it ended to abruptly
It ended with the theory of the metal fatigue failure when the tail fell off the plane as Honey had predicted.
I love Jimmy Stewart as an actor. I had NO idea that this one even exists?
Excellent movie making! The plot has:
A beginning
A middle
An end
And these work together to tell a human story?
The modern Hollywood garbage simply does NOT compare.
I especially liked the 2 - 1/2 minute quickie wrap up. A very unusual way to end a film.
Yep! To be fair, the closest Hollywood has come to this in recent times was "Apollo 13".
Wonderful cast - Dietrich, Hawkins Stewart!
Add Maurice Denham. General Colbert in "The Day Of The Jackal" and Clifford in "Eight O'Clock Walk".
Glynis Johns????
Two great actors showing their skills simultaneously, a rarity in movies.
Ol' Ja-Ja Jimmy never made a bad movie and this one is no exception.
I have always loved the scene when Glynn is (rest in peace… 100!) tells him she must marry him for his own good.
It's sad her passing, beautiful lady. I have had a crush on her since first seeing her as the mermaid in Miranda. RIP Glynis.😊
I never saw this movie before. I'm 64. Didit get lost in a broom closet? It was very good.
