This fine movie was the story of my life, almost. The difference was that we were both orphans having one parent each. We made it 39 wonderful years until she died from cancer. We lived on love and the money came later. With love, we had a wonderful adventure. God. I miss her so so much
~ It sounds like you two had a beautiful love story. I can't imagine what it would be like to be without the person you loved for so long being gone. I'm sorry your heart is broken.
6:08 there's the signature little Dean Stockwell thing-in my opinion. I love seeing him do those type of things when he was a kid actor. LOVE HIM! MISS HIM!
Agree to a point. Many kids at that point were getting married because they couldn’t control themselves. The divorce rates were quite high because of this. What were they to do morally? Is it moral to sleep together before marriage or get divorced after the sexual portion wears off?
'Let me fix you a drink' seemed to be the mantra of those times. Having forsaken God and his love for them, they set up their own moral codes.. 'conform or be cast out', to quote Neil Peart
I keep hearing this; I ain't buyin it. Conform to the norm, the standards set by the powers that be. This resulted in the rebellion of the 60s.. I'm sure some of y'all were there
good acting and story we've all been down the bumpy road of love & loss. I've seen natalie trundy in some shows of the 60's too bad she settled on "planet of the apes " movies very beautiful and talented actor. thank you now i'm going to watch "pretty poison" with tuesday weld another one of my 'loves".
Wow❣️this is why I love the classics-they keep it real-modern movies have them just sleeping together, which he said they could’ve done but they were slowly slipping into lack of self control, and they both knew it! Marriage IS NOT the cure for lack of self control, if it was, there would be fewer divorces. I loved how he gained experience without having sexual encounters, and chasing a phantom rainbow, which is what people are doing today! Thank you sooo much for this classic 💎 gem. Sadly, some people are still looking at life through “rose colored lenses😖😩😳
In truth, I only watched this to gorge on the beauty of a young Dean Stockwell. Still, I feel those mocking his and Trundy's performances have forgotten themselves - don't they both come eerily close to rendering real adolescents, then as now - inarticulate, gauche and awkward? The language might have changed, but the shyness, awkwardness is the same. Even if Stockwell lost his beauty (or deliberately destroyed it) his talent only grew - from this to 'Compulsion' and 'Long Day's Journey into Night' in just a few short years!
This was one of the most beautiful, and true to life, movies I have ever seen. Many young American women and men had high ideals and lived them, at a time when America was truly a far more decent and noble land. This movie embodied numerous great themes pertaining to the challenges of coming of age, and conveying to the younger generation the true values that made this country great in years gone by. For those of us who believe the Holy Scriptures, that time of decency and respect and personal responsibility will come again. God speed that Day! Wonderful message, wonderful acting, truthful and sincere. We are all the better for a movie such as this.
The year this movie was made, 1957, saw the highest number of babies born to UNMARRIED white girls in America ; at least through the early 2000’s. (It was part of the research I did for a sociology class paper).

So many parents don't seem to care to take the time to instill simple manner words in their kids. Is it a respect thing? Laziness? Apathy? It is so easy to teach your kids to say thank you, I'm sorry, to learn that they aren't the only people in the world and to care about your fellow man, etc. I sometimes think it is just worse in my town because I can visit other towns where men hold the door for you, people acknowledge you, don't run you down, say thank you... I love to wave to someone who lets me in line while driving or as I back up out of a parking spot and a person had to wait 4 seconds, I still lift my hand to wave a thank you. It is so easy. I tried hard for my kids and I still do and will. I just don't think we should not care about manners and our fellow people/critters etc. Take care.
I think a lot of those 1950's romantic movies were pure propaganda pieces. I was going to the 8th grade when this movie was made. The girls in those days weren't all sweet, neat and petite; most were some pretty harden hos like now. I'm nearing 80 years.
Exactly people like to sugar coat the past when in many ways it was more brutal than now, and with just as many arseholes 🎶 " Can it be that it was all so simple then or has time rewritten every line "🎶 ( Memories by Gladys Knight and the Pips 😎)
True dat. My great grandparents made and sold hooch illegally. One of my granddads was a dope fiend. Abandonment. Orphanages. Shot gun weddings. My grandfather cheating on my grandmother their entire courtship and marriage. Just nobody talked about it. That’s what this film is missing - a Ginny like in “Splendor in the Grass”. Needed a dose of reality.
Not the best. Pretty poor movie actually. Watched it because I was trying to find The Restless Years that came out a year later which is a better movie about teen love in the 50's.
She's such a bad actress. 🤣🤣 I can't be the only one that realizes that this entire movie is about sex. My feminist ass screaming at her to just sleep with this guy! 🤣 He's just trying so hard! God love him! ❤️ Where he wrote her the letter!! That ALONE was a total panty dropper!! ❤️🤣🤣 Don't get me wrong. I love this movie. Dean is just wonderful in it. May he RIP. ❤️
Well duh….. I don’t think they could say the word sex back then…. Sexual revolution hadn’t come around yet. I too thought why not just sleep with the boy already, but in the scene where her mother mentioned she could have a baby by 18, it dawned on me that I don’t think there was widely available prevention in this day and age.
@@Sarahlynn1304 Granted they probably couldn't say sex back then. That crossed my mind too. As for protection...it was boujd to be widely available...it was just something that no one talked about for whatever reason...maybe parents wouldn't buy it for their daughters or whatever...or Dads wouldn't talk to their sons about it...that was low key my thought when his dad asked if he HAD to get married.
This movie gives me the bad feels. It teeters between titillating exploitation and morality play. And why does Dean Stockwell look 40 years old in this movie??? He was about 21 when he made this. Maybe it was the look of crushing depression on his face throughout the film.
He wasn't alone in this, every young actor in the 50's looked older than their actual age. Look at Richard Bakalyan in The Delinquents, he looked a 35 year old man playing a teen. James Dean also died at 24, and looked way older. Even the movie grease got this right when they got Stockard Channing, who was 34 playing a teen girl, all the teens in Grease look older just like these 50's teen movies.
@@thetrickisirarelyrespond5945 Actually i don't know, but the T-Birds look 30, and Olivia Newton John was 30, i believe, and Stockard was 34. I know Grease it's kind of a spoof, but even American Graffiti had a 30 year old Harrison Ford playing a teen

Hold on to all of those sweet & wonderful memories.🕊🕊♥🌹 Deepest sympathies. God bless you!🙏🏽💞
~ It sounds like you two had a beautiful love story.
I can't imagine what it would be like to be without the
person you loved for so long being gone.
I'm sorry your heart is broken.
Thank you for sharing. God has many beautiful people with Him.
Finest film ever made...🇬🇧💛💙
So glad to discover this movie. Classic tale of teen angst, with passion and heartache in equal measure. A real gem.
6:08 there's the signature little Dean Stockwell thing-in my opinion. I love seeing him do those type of things when he was a kid actor. LOVE HIM! MISS HIM!
Wonderful Movie I watched it two times. These were the good days when people in society had class and morals.
😅
Agree to a point. Many kids at that point were getting married because they couldn’t control themselves. The divorce rates were quite high because of this. What were they to do morally? Is it moral to sleep together before marriage or get divorced after the sexual portion wears off?

@@Sarahlynn1304right, and the kids they had suffered for it..
@@Sarahlynn1304 right, and then there's pregnancy. I always heard dads gave their teenage sons condoms
The "wisdom" of age and experience and the "knowledge" of youth and ignorance. Great film. Thank you.
What a sweet enchanting movie. Times were very different then from the harsh reality of youth today.
I keep hearing this;
I ain't buyin it. Conform to the norm, the standards set by the powers that be. This resulted in the rebellion of the 60s.. I'm sure some of y'all were there
Fantastic movie.
Even though this was in the 50's, it's all still true today.
If Dean Stockwell is in it. Im in
Ohhh. To be kissed by Dean Stockwell!!!❤❤❤
good acting and story we've all been down the bumpy road of love & loss. I've seen natalie trundy in some shows of the 60's too bad she settled on "planet of the apes " movies very beautiful and talented actor. thank you now i'm going to watch "pretty poison" with tuesday weld another one of my 'loves".

Such a tender film and she was angelic in her beauty.

One never saw mrs. cleaver slip out of her dress on leave it to beaver.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful movie of the times gone by.👍
Great movie!
Great picture! It's a Metro Goldwyn Mayer picture ~ you know it's gotta be a good picture. Thanks for sharing this picture.
I think Jerry's mother was Mrs. Olson in those coffee commercials in the 70's. Good movie thank you.

“lost his beauty”? honey - he just aged. He never lost his sexiness and charisma. even as a geriatric he could get it.
And don't forget The Loners 1971
The part with the chimpanzee was great comic relief.

Dean stockwell seems to be channeling James Dean
I’ve always called them the 2 Deans 😂
Just being himself
🕯️Rest in Peace ⭐Dean Stockwell⭐
What does that mean, 'Rest in peace'? There is no peace for the wicked..
Great movie!!💞
The changing room scene would have put this on the condemned movie list in the Catholic bulletin publication. The Graduate was super banned.
@1:50 even in the movies they double park :D lol R.I.P. Dean Stockwell you handsome young fella :) #New #Zealand
Dean Stockwell's alive, he's just retired.
Mrs Cleaver never spoke about her past life before meeting Ward.
Yes, she did. She mentioned dating other guys , before she married ward ! That 's what she told the beav !
@@melissameeks7938 dating other guys yes, but other details about her past life, no.

Yeah, the 50's weren't as square as people think, they were already living same problems as teens today basically
I powered thru to the end, but I was about to open up a vein if she said Jerry one more time.
😅
I wax a high school seniof in 1967-68 and there is no way in the world that my parentx would have left me home alone overnight. I also had a strict curfew.
@ Pat I Know, Right? These were the MOST liberal parents ever!
Crazy parents. My parents would neva!
I will watch anything with Dean Stockwell in it, but he seems to be sleepwalking through this.
He does appear robotic and a bit creepy/obsessive. Excellent movie, though.
It’s the James Dean thing he’s doing
@@lyndawilliams4570please, he ain't no James Dean. Stockwell had a lot more smarts and guts.. he wasn't racing cars around, 'tempting fate', as it were
Enjoyed the opening scenes. What happened to nice, polite people?
Those kind of people are a thing of the past. They're gone but not forgotten.

Not bad, interesting film thanks 👍

Hola amigo te felicito por subir esra bella pelicula pero no sé inglés y me gustaría si se puede verla al menos subtitulada en español.
You are in America.
Jerry’s Mom is Mrs. Olson! They have plenty of money...from Folgers.
Santa Monica, 1957, America was never better, the golden age in the Golden State! (what a sh^^hole it is today)
Couldn’t agree more.
and Culver City.
Yeah, it's a toilet to say the least 🙄.

Movies like this illustrate why Roe V. Wade had to exist. Why it needs to now in 2022.
Of course, since all pro-choicers have already been born.
a relic from before the sexual revolution

Great movie. And it's beaver cleaver's mom
Postponed the watch...
20:35 separate beds lol. Well, that was boring
Impressive. Acting.......he. Would. Have made. A. Good. Wally. Cleaver
Trigger warning ⚠️….trauma bonding🐍👀
You can see where this film is heading.Dean looked better in Rapture.He's a bit of a nullity here.
The boy resembles James Dean
@@Michaelahol yeah I've noticed that too.
@@Michaelahol Totally, the acting style and behaviour on camera are very similar to James Dean's.
Even better in Compulsion 1959.
Don't marry a poor man. Your kids will be poor too and so will you. Go to college and marry a guy who is going somewhere.
She's such a bad actress. 🤣🤣
