WOW ! I have never in my 73 years on this earth have I seen this movie. This is a great movie with a first class cast of actors, thank you for sharing 😊
Finally, Miss Thelma Ritter, Hollywood's most underrated actress, gets to appear in elegant outfits and flattering makeup. She makes the entire film work.
That woman playing the lead role is Jane Wyman, NOT Thelma Ritter. Sorry, but I am 66 yrs old and an old movie fanatic my whole life n I am 1000% sure that is Jane Wyman playing with Charleston Heston!!!
I haven't seen this since I was quite young. The fashion show was always my favorite part of the movie. Thank you so much for sharing and bringing back a long forgotten memory. 🤗
This was one of mine and my grandmothers favorite movie. It is one of the finest movies to hit the screen ever. Jane Wyman was the absolute best choice to play Lucy...
This is one of my favorite Jane Wyman movies. She is one of my favorite actresses of all time. This movie is a sublime masterpiece in every way possible! 👏 Thanks for sharing it! I don't know about anybody else, but this movie makes me want to open a dress shop! I miss the ladies shops and boutiques when women took great pride in their appearance. 👗
This is one of my favorite films from the 1950’s. It is very hard to find, and I’m grateful to watch on CZcams. Thank you for posting this film. The quality was quite good. Many thanks for a lovely evening!
The women's clothing is to die for , I have at least 20 patterns of 40 and 50's dresses and suites, can't wait to start sewing and soon open a shop and my outfits won't look like Halloween costumes, like I've been seeing. .
@@luvluvluvluvcats how do you think animals die in the wild? Bc they don't die of old age! They're either eaten alive in a fight for survival, or get sick and while down they're killed & eaten. Or sometimes they starve. Not a quick or painless death, like being shot.Even traps are usually quicker deaths.
First time I saw this film I was a teenager..Instantly fell in-love with it...Last time i saw this was 40 years ago..To watch it on imdb have to pay...Thank you CZcams showing it for free....
Sorry for some negative comments here. I had heard of this movie but never seen it until tonight. Thoroughly enjoyable, and worth every minute. It was escape from the doom and gloom. Well acted and good fun!
What a great movie. I didn't think Jane Wyman was right for the part when the movie started but I came around and she did play the part very well. Thanks for posting.
I lived 15 miles from Borger Texas for over 40 years. I’m 79 now. In 1926 an oil strike near Borger quickly turned Borger into a boom town. Population soon surged to over 45 thousand residents. Ace Borger and his partner John R Miller owned the town and it was named Borger after Ace Borger The town quickly filled up with robbers, thieves, killers, prostitutes, saloons. It got so bad that they called in the Texas Rangers. They were sent Frank Hamer and another ranger. Frank Hamer later became famous as the one who killed Bonnie and Clyde. My dad was a rum runner for Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie once gave my older brother a pair of short pants when he was about 5 or 6 years old and he told her that he wasn’t going to wear those sissy pants. I have a book written by Bill O’Neal, The Arizona Rangers. On pages 21 and 22 it tells about my daddy’s stepfather, Witt Neal before he married my grandma. Here’s part of what it says: The most impressive Ranger move to date came in March against a contingent of the notorious Musgrave Gang. One of the desperadoes was Witt Neal. The Rangers learned that he had a sweetheart living in a house near the Blue River about forty miles north of Clinton. They went there and found Witt Neal sleeping on a bed on the front porch and when they arrested him, under his blanket he had two six-guns, a .30-.40 Winchester, a double-looped belt full of cartridges, and 40 or 50 more cartridges stuffed in his pockets. Later in the day they arrested some more of the gang. Witt Neil and some of the others were sent to prison New Mexico. And he got out he met and married my grandma. Mother said when I was 2 years old that I would follow him around and try to put my hands behind my back to like he did.
It is great that you have those stories to tell ( I am sure you have more) and you took the time to write them down for us to read…..so many things we have seen happen in our life time( I am 73)…….take care and keep telling your stories
Fantastic, I love to hear these memoir posts. You could write a book, truly! These days the computer software makes it easy for anyone of any age. Please say you'll do it. (Writer, here)
A great movie :wonderful actors , interesting the story, let know the times durino the 2nd world war ... But respect here in Itaky , America ,Texas especially was like a paradise: oil and money!
I absolutely love this movie. Haven’t seen it in years. Great actors. They just don’t make movies like this anymore and that is a shame. I am so glad I found your station and will be watching for more great oldies but goodies. Keep up the good work.
REALLY ENJOY THIS WELL MADE STORY AND MOVIE, SEEN THIS ,MOVIE WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE, AND THOROUGHLY ENJOY IT THANK YOU FOR SCREENING IT, SOMETHING YOU WILL NEVER SEE OR CAPTURE AGAIN.
I remember seeing this movie maybe twice. This is the first time I've seen it in a long while. I think they kept it under the table to promote the movies Big Country & Giant. Now seeing this movie again I think this is better and I like the actors & actresses.
Jane Wyman had a distinguished career, here she had already won an Oscar and was divorced from Ronald Reagan. (She divorced and remarried her 4th husband.) This was the year that Heston starred with Eleanor Parker in 'The Naked Jungle' with the army ants, which I saw at the time at age 10. Wyman died in 2007 at 90 and Heston died in 2008 at 84.
Have you ever noticed how gushy and adoring all the comments every film and TV program on CZcams is, no matter how bad the movie is? I love movies and worked in the industry for 52 years and every time I attempt to post an honest critique of a film it is erased (and we're talking dozens), no matter how intelligent and tasteful it may be. I'm sure this one will be no exception. Just check out the comments for films such as Astro-Zombies etc. etc. Every movie ever made is SOMEBODY'S favorite movie of all time.
Heston is gorgeous in this movie---and, although attractive, Jane Wyman is not the outrageously glamorous actress that this role requires. This definitely a woman's movie.
Great movie, who wouldn't love a movie that combines the wonderful Thelma Ritter with gorgeous Edith Head fashions. If fashion designer's had 1/10th the talent of Edith Head designs they wouldn't have to plaster their name and logos all over garbage designed clothes to get them to sell for a high price.
It's like watching the cinematic version of Cliff Notes. Events happen way to fast leaving no time to get involved in the story or care about any of the characters (and that's just what they are, characters). These aren't real people. Who ARE these people? I know as much about these people at the closing credits as I did at the opening. One moment she gets off the train during a stopover, five minutes later she owns a fashion boutique. One moment Pearl Harbor gets bombed and we get the impression Charlton is about to enlist and the next moment the war is over. It feels like all the character development and exposition ended up on the cutting room floor. I've seen movie trailers that were more involving and entertaining.
Love the clothes & the story ( Never seen before! ) I only see one thing that could be better. I know everything in this movie was authentic for the time. ….but the 50s & the clothes would have been more beautiful without the Hideous HAIRDOS. Especially the ones on JANE WYMAN . Such a beautiful lady deserves better. That hairdo looks like what my son did to his KINDERGARTEN PICTURE When he cut his own hair . & YES I DO KNOW IT WAS AUTHENTIC FOR THAT ERA.
Poor Mr. Summer was with her from ground zero. He was only promoted to a Bellhop basically😂 So sad. Then her own sidekick THE GM as she referred to straight stole her creation right from under her. This is a great example of how THE USA 🇺🇸 does business. Even how McDonald’s got started with Ray. Shady ass ppl!!!!
I'm TEXAN. .and I loved this movie when saw as a Re- run as a little girl.....now grown seein it again I loved Lucy's shop and APARTMENT & sets homes clothes....such as great romance... Seeing that pump- jack right in FRONT HER SHOP!!. THAT IS REALLY was the Governor if Texas then...& Really Miss Edith Head ......!!!.I worked at Neiman -Marcus in FORT WORTH several years ago....y'all it's lovely ..we give very good customer service in Texas......have a nice night & G- bless y'all 🇺🇸🇨🇱🌵🌵💚💚
Pretty-good, Thank-You! Lots of beautiful clothes, and an interesting storyline - but the fact that She had to choose between Marriage/Love and her Business was a let-down. Hollywood romanticized the long-held idea that being Wife/Homemaker/Mother should completely fulfill Women; contrary to what was happened to American Housewives who tried to live the lie. (I’m glad I was born long-after Women’s Lib, though it’s fun to ‘visit’ this time.)
What a great movie. It brings back memories when shopping in those large department stores was such a special experience.
WOW ! I have never in my 73 years on this earth have I seen this movie. This is a great movie with a first class cast of actors, thank you for sharing 😊
I never saw it either. I saw her in other movies back in the late 70s.
I'm 81 and this is the first time I've ever heard of it. On your recommendation I am going to watch it tonight. Will report back later.
Jane Wyman Thelma Ritter, none better.
Three of my favorite actresses, Jane Wyman, Thelma Ritter, and Claire Trevor, and all dressed to the nines❣
Claire looked wonderful in the yellow evening dress and matching coat.
Jane Wyman movies bring back so many memories. And that fashion show! Love Edith Head!
Finally, Miss Thelma Ritter, Hollywood's most underrated actress, gets to appear in elegant outfits and flattering makeup. She makes the entire film work.
Loved Thelma Ritter in Alfred Hitchcock's " Rear Window".
Any film is improved by Thelma Ritter.
The best movie to show Thelma's talent is "Pick up on South Street".It's a wonderful noir movie that's free on CZcams.Thanks for this one.
That woman playing the lead role is Jane Wyman, NOT Thelma Ritter. Sorry, but I am 66 yrs old and an old movie fanatic my whole life n I am 1000% sure that is Jane Wyman playing with Charleston Heston!!!
Just saw Thelma Ritter Sorry I thought you meant The lead actress...
I haven't seen this since I was quite young. The fashion show was always my favorite part of the movie. Thank you so much for sharing and bringing back a long forgotten memory. 🤗
This was one of mine and my grandmothers favorite movie. It is one of the finest movies to hit the screen ever. Jane Wyman was the absolute best choice to play Lucy...

except for the furs that were stolen from tortured animals

Edith Head was one of THE VERY BEST FASHION DESIGNERS IN THE 🌎 🌹 💐 🌹 🍍 🌴 🍍 🌴 🌴 🌴 🌴 🌴 🌴 🌴 🌴 🐟 🐟 🐟 🌈
She also did a lot of costume work over the years for Hollywood, a very artistic lady.
Indeed she’s brilliant!
Saw this when a child on television and been trying to find it for years. Thank you so much for sharing. The clothes are gorgeous!
First time I saw this film I was a teenager..Instantly fell in-love with it...Last time i saw this was 40 years ago..To watch it on imdb have to pay...Thank you CZcams showing it for free....
Jane Wyman brings so much to this film and so many others! A great cast too!
Appreciate your posting. I had never seen this performance. Enjoyed. ⚡💖👏
⚜️ Imagine more Happy Experiences and Happy Forever-Afters, it's how we get them.
Charlton Heston was such a great man, and actor.
I dont know what kind of man Charlton Heston was, but he was one handsome man, with a lovely presence on screen.
Those suitcases Heston was carrying at the beginning had hardwood frames and were quite heavy even when empty. Men had real muscles back then.
Sorry for some negative comments here. I had heard of this movie but never seen it until tonight. Thoroughly enjoyable, and worth every minute. It was escape from the doom and gloom. Well acted and good fun!
I saw this movie when I was young back when there was the "morning Matinee" on TV, and loved it so happy to see it again
What a great movie. I didn't think Jane Wyman was right for the part when the movie started but I came around and she did play the part very well. Thanks for posting.
I'm 62 and I've never seen this before. It's so good! Excitement, heart, glamour, romance and beautiful clothes. Perfect!🩷 Thank you for posting this!
I’ve been looking for this movie for years, I seen it years ago & it got lost, so happy I found it again
what a brilliant movie and brilliant actors thank you so much for sharing it.
I saw this ages ago and remember the fashion show. Thanks soooo much for posting, such a treat!
Omg I remember watching this with my grandmother on TMC!!!! Thank you so much for posting it!

Love this movie. So good!
What a marvelous and sensational motion picture!
Thanks so much for posting! One of my absolute favorites!
I really liked this movie.A beautiful story of Love.
Come on who wouldn't fall in love with Charlton Heston? Even GOD loves him. Provider & protecter
😂
I absolutely love this movie. Haven’t seen it in years. Great actors. They just don’t make movies like this anymore and that is a shame. I am so glad I found your station and will be watching for more great oldies but goodies. Keep up the good work.
Thank you showing this lost classic 😊
I absolutely adore Thelma Ritter. I am not particularly a Charleton Heston fan, but I loved every minute of this movie. It's a winner.
Back before Heston became so unlikable.
@@wendybutler1681 He was just not my choice for a leading man in a romantic movie. He was definitely a good actor, though.
I understand about Charlton Heston. He always played this tightness in his acting, not to believable.
Loved it!!!! 💕
Thank you for the great movie.
❤
Throughly enjoyed the subtle romance, had to replayed a couple of scenes!!
Wow! Great TEXAS movie!!❤️
REALLY ENJOY THIS WELL MADE STORY AND MOVIE, SEEN THIS ,MOVIE WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE, AND THOROUGHLY ENJOY IT THANK YOU FOR SCREENING IT, SOMETHING YOU WILL NEVER SEE OR CAPTURE AGAIN.
Excellent film de Robert Parrish avec Charlton Heston et Jane Wyman. Dommage qu'il ne soit pas sorti en DVD !!
Charlton Heston,,,,,,,always great.......
I watched this with my grandmother when I was still a kid, and then later on when it was on TCM ...
Always liked chuck Heston,especially,in Midway and Omega Man
Yes one of my faves too and you are right...hard to find
Never is on any tv channel not even dish demand free or any channels its shame such great romance
I remember seeing this movie maybe twice. This is the first time I've seen it in a long while. I think they kept it under the table to promote the movies Big Country & Giant. Now seeing this movie again I think this is better and I like the actors & actresses.
Love the classic clothes
they ARE truly gorgeous. Minus the furs. Thank goodness, humanity is rapidly growing a heart and torturing animals less.
Excellent movie! Thank you so much for sharing!

Boy. This is going to the top of my favorite movies list. Thank you so so much.
I enjoyed this movie. Thank you, Alvin!
Wow! A wonderful movie. Thank you.
I have been searching for this movie for a long time. Thank you.

Every movie ever made is SOMEBODY'S favorite movie of all time.
Steven, no wonder God has such a hard headed creation in us. Look how many different opinions there are. He certainly has His Hands full .
Absolutely loved Jane Wyman in "All That Heaven Allows."
Good movies always make me cry.
The Red Derrick...Like the Red Windmill....Moulin Rouge. 😄💓🌲💖
Everyone peeking to see her store reminds me of when the first topless bathing suit came to Mode ODays in Hayward.Everyone wanted a look.😊
Lots of gimmick fashions back then, though average women kept buying sensible clothes whenever available.
Good one! My girl Clare Trevor, she was the best.
Key Largo.
Oh Boy! What a movie,,,,, watch you want regret it ....〽️🍿🎥
Love it. Thank u.
well, it shows he served in the South West Pacific with the 5th USAAF......New Guinea & the Philippines.....
Great movie!!!
Heston is gorgeous in this movie---and, although attractive, Jane Wyman is not the outrageously glamorous actress that this role requires. This definitely a woman's movie.
Loved Thelma Ritters acting
Great movie. Beautiful clothes.
I can only agree with the existing comments below an this is a fine movie ...

If fashion designer's had 1/10th the talent of Edith Head designs they wouldn't have to plaster their name and logos all over garbage designed clothes to get them to sell for a high price.
Shame that the aspect ratio isn't that of VistaVision.
My guilty pleasure.
Edith Head.... and Helen Rose. Royalty.
فلم رائع وادملمن متميز هكذا يصنع الافلام في هوليود وهي سبب نجتحها وشكرا
Really good--TY
Thelma Ritter💖💖💖

I've seen movie trailers that were more involving and entertaining.
I came here to see former governor allan shivers in this film.
I love Thelma Ritter i just watched her in rear window

Seeing that pump- jack right in FRONT HER SHOP!!.

It's so sad though, how their ambitions got in the way of their love
Ok, finally a happy ending
No , if her husband really loved her , he would help her follow her dream !!!
@@sarahgodwin-xd1wr. You just don’t get it, do you ?
Is that how Hemphill Wells got started in Texas? I miss that place ....
Why couldn't they compromise so they both could pursue their dreams??
excellent
A brief summary would be nice.
Fabulous story, despite Jane being as much fun to kiss as an empty toilet roll, Charlton made up for it in spades as always.
who is the banker??? where else did he play?
That was William Demarest. He played Uncle Charlie on My 3 Sons.
I have tried to buy this,but hard to find
Was anyone else annoyed with Lucy and Cole taking forever to get together lol. Both so darn stubborn
Is there a film that star both Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan?
Yes, An Angel from Texas, 1940, Brother Rat, 1938, Brother Rat and Baby, 1940..Google for more movies..
Heston has the warmth of an iceberg. I'm at 1:03:43 and if they end up together in the end something dynamic must happen between now and then.
1:04:30. Welp, that came outta nowhere!
Wyman was 37-ish. Assuming her character was of similar age. She expects lots of babies?
out of focus one that is in focus in spanish.
yes, a good one
Just awful he wants her to give up her store when they marry !!! Just awful that he won't help her do what she loves. Just so awful!
Thelma Ritter held her own in The Misfits with Marilyn Monroe excellently.!! I wonder is she was the mother of John Ritter from Threes Company?!
No , I don't think that she is John Ritter's mother. John Ritter's father is Tex Ritter, the Western cowboy star.
again where are the male fashions
Jane Wyman was so cute in tge early 1949s, but the hairdo she remain wirh for many years, I didn't feel it was complementary.
Wonder what they do with the dresses?
Let’s hope the former Mrs. Reagan was not a Shivercrat!
Pretty-good, Thank-You!
Lots of beautiful clothes, and an interesting storyline - but the fact that She had to choose between Marriage/Love and her Business
was a let-down.
Hollywood romanticized the long-held idea that being Wife/Homemaker/Mother should completely fulfill Women; contrary to what was happened to American Housewives who tried to live the lie.
(I’m glad I was born long-after Women’s Lib, though it’s fun to ‘visit’ this time.)
