Of course she was a great actress - English, well spoken, educated and literate in the English Language which includes not only correct use of grammar and punctuation, but also correct spelling; thus demonstrating the recognised correct use of the letter S as opposed to the incorrect use of the letter Z! 🤣
Thank you so much for this incredible film the lack of love in ones life leads to all sorts of confusion, sadness and heartbreak he stuck with her even though he had his own "mommy" problems he gained wisdom in the end lovely happy ending.🇦🇽💥💥💥
The actress who plays Mrs Burns does an excellent job portraying the kind of woman who is "The Woman You Love to Hate" - and her voice sounds exactly like a blend between Bette Davis and Mae West - quite uncanny. I love her "rough around the edges" voice and how she has that massive chip on her shoulder from when she "ran a hamburger stand and supported her little boy" all the while she is dripping in diamonds. Very good portrayal of Meddling Mother-In-Law-Battleaxe! In the 1950s being divorced - especially twice divorced would have made Hilda Crane, scandlous a "Scarlett Woman" and her social standing in a small, hick town would have been the lowest of the low. In the 1950's being divorced was considered a HUGE scandal - only for socialites and movie stars. It really would have been utterly unheard of for the "best catch" rich, handsome available bachelor in that little hick small town, to wind up married to a twice divorced woman - but heck, this is the movies so let us allow "Suspension of Disbelief". In the very beginning of the film, Hilda Crane talks about wanting to be embracing an independent life - but immediately realizes that is impossible - the best she could do in Winona is a job as a low paid typist, or shop clerk.....she is down on her luck with a gorgeous fur coat - that has torn, shabby lining - so she does the practical solution and winds up getting married to a rich man - the conventional expectation for the 1950s. She has a college degree - but probably something useless - if a woman went to college in the 1950's it was for the sole purpose of finding a HUSBAND, preferably a guy who would be graduating with a medical or law degree. I bet Hilda Crane's college degree was either "Home Economics" or English major - that was a "nice well bred girl" type college degree while you were just finagling your way to find a rich husband who was going to be a college grad in a high paying profession. If you like movies of this style and era, I highly recommend "Peyton Place" with Lana Turner and Jeff Chandler - it is more glamorous and glossier than this film, but the style of the era is identical BTW - I could never figure out why Jean Pierre Aumont was considered romantic leading man hunk sex symbol - his acting was wooden and really he was absolutely average looking. I was born in 1954 and remember seeing his films back in the day, but never could "get it" what his appeal was. Jean Simmons as always was lovely - and such a talented actress. In 1992 I attended an American Film Institute event in Washington, D.C. that screened the fully restored film of "Spartacus" - Jean Simmons and Tony Curtis attended and it was wonderful, if only for a minute, to chat with her in person. I don't have any interest in autograph collecting - but really appreciated being able to chat with her for a few minutes and let her know how much I admired her films. She was around 65 but still gorgeous! A very gracious and great lady.

@@springsogourne VERY few of the leading men back then were at all attractive! Cary Grant and Dirk Bogarde were the exceptions. I still find most leading men unattractive, with that ugly super short hair, but at least they do a far better job now than they used to in choosing male stars.

When ladies were lady-like and cared to be fashionable over trampy. Can you believe what passes for a lady these days? A tattooed tramp, in jeans so tight, she's nearly busting out! If it weren't so sad, it would be funny.
Oooh !! Good!!!! Movie !!! Love Jean Simmons makes want to be a Brunette. Love Jean Pierre AUMONT & GUY MADISON❤ THE COLOR is just perfect. Thx for this movie. 😊❤
It was actually beige and brown. The 2 worst colors ever. I see Megan Markle wearing so much solid dark brown and I want to scream at her! "No wonder nobody likes you! Wear some light colors and patterns, especially pink and blue flowers. There are a million choices, and you are wearing BROWN?!"
And I thought Guy Madison was just a cowboy. He was great in this part, so were Aumont and Simmons. She was lovely. I also liked that old Victorian house they lived in, it was like my grandparents'.
I enjoyed how He loved her, because she needed to be loved...and that He needed to love someone, and he just happened to be the one that had loved her for so long...Takes a lot to realize your loveable, when You've been made to feel you weren't by even just a few others...Everyone deserves to have a Russell
And they live happily ever after. Don't talk about Domestic Violence

This was a good movie. I'm glad Hilda found true love & happiness at the end. Her mother was awful, as so many often are. What a shame too. She seemed to have such potential, if only she had applied herself more appropriately.
That is a great big spoiler! I have seen worse, but it's still giving away the whole ending! Why do you people have such a compulsion to wreck the whole thing for the rest of us? Next time at least use a SPOILER ALERT!
Plot- Serial divorcée Hilda Crane (Jean Simmons) returns to the town where she went to college and begins a new romance with her old flame Russell Burns (Guy Madison), much to the chagrin of his abusive mother, Mrs. Burns (Evelyn Varden). When Mrs. Burns dies of a heart attack, her death casts a long shadow over their relationship. Soon Hilda embarks on an affair with her beloved former professor, Jacques De Lisle (Jean-Pierre Aumont), that threatens to destroy her latest attempt at marriage.
Hi Really good script! Shines a very sobering light on so called ‘women’s freedom’ and its consequences, and often nowhere near such a nice outcome as this!
Only in bible it say: if you love me obey my commandments. True love never commands anything .... It is freely given without asking anything in return. That's why I don't like bible quotes or versus
The lining on the inside of the mink coat was worn, frayed, and pulling away from the collar. She saw that the fur wasn’t in good shape, because the lining was in disrepair.
All these people who use these strange words for addictions I really don’t think 💭 they understand what they’re saying would it be the same for drug addictions , alcoholic, food feeders or many other types of people who have been put in such situations my daughter was a precious little teen normal size 10 met lad who l had no. Idea was smoking waky baky and would buy her carrier bags off cola crisps sweets and cakes so they would say oh mum going to our room to watch movies or play on computer games I thought all innocent and then found out he as smoking @bought her these things because she didn’t want to smoke or drink but love we called treats but if in abundance it’s not a treat , in. Fact he was what as known as a feeder and I didn’t know of such things and now she’s addictions are food at 20 st and it’s very said is that (heinous or the ather words used for all these people as. Now my DRS SAY WHAT THE HOSPITAL SPECIALIST HAS HAD ME ON THESE MEDS TO KEEP ME. FROM LOSING THE USE OF MY RT ARM AND HAND ..? So I’m bed ridden and unable to use my hand @ arm and being meds to keep myself busy all the while I ve been treated as a drug addict but not helped to find any treatment that would get back my independence so I’m a disgusting disgraceful addict and I enjoy a smoke it helps me to calm down somewhat and if I were you I wouldn’t WALK OUTSIDE WITHOUT BREATH GEAR FACTORY CARS CANDLES GARDEN PIT FIRES ALCOHOL E .T C . SORRY BUT THE WRONG HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST MAN ……
@@jimcrawford3185 Many people who died young also thought that it was 'cool'. Rock Hudson used to say that he loved smoking so much that he wished that it could be a cure for many illnesses. Talk about blindness. My father said as he was dying that he had 'wished that he had KNOWN how bad it was', when he had already lost many of his friends from it. He was 55.
used to be the custom: women only wore a mink coat if her husband gave it to her for her 40th Birthday OR She Divorced Very Well, & got a bundle of alimony. just saying.
"don't forget winona...kingman barstow san berdoo. " The mom is a bit of a creep, but I'm sure that will change. Still, only une Americaine would be worried about her "having lived" showing in her face. Sheesh. And the menacing mothers...if it weren't for them...
I wish they hadn't used such ugly names for such beautiful women in these movies. Agnes, Hildegard, Hilda, Gertrude, Gerty. Hedwig sounds exactly like an insect, same as an earwig. And so many more awful sounding things. They also knew the value of pretty women, but never gave women some eye candy until finally Cary Grant and Dirk Bogarde came along, but even then, by far the most of the leading men were either plain or downright ugly. It's still a matter of opinion, but now they seem to at least make some effort to give us sexy guys. It's a weak effort, but better than before.
She and Elizabeth needed to have their faces painted on! Poor men have to be born handsome whist any woman can look like a different person each time she paints her face.
This is what love looks like❤ Forgiving ones faults and sticking to the script of love.
Loved how they dressed back then .
Agreed. I grew up in that era, we always tried to look our best.
Sometimes I’ll watch a movie just for the fashion. Movies like, Desk Set.
Yes you can tell the men from the women.
@@ritaroadAnd there were few overweight people. Women with waists are so attractive.
@@annemccarron2281 The few overweight ones, except for Orson Welles, were almost always goofy oddballs in comedies or comic relief in dramas.
Great old Hollywood movie, made at the tail end of the 'Golden Age' of Hollywood. Jean Simmons was such a great actress.

I loved her voice. I always wondered if she sang. She is so beautiful. I loved her in Spartacus.
I always found the opposite, I find it irritating. But she is beautiful and a good actress.
We all need a man like Russell❤
So true! I was married and divorced twice, also, but my Russell never showed up.
Fairytales for naive.

This blue grey period in Hollywood 1950 films... Very beautiful
yes, an outstanding example is 'Mother Is A Freshman' with Loretta Young 1949
The fear of loosing and the greed to have everything,lands up people into various problems. It finally leads to anger frustration envy etc.... .

Agreed. To me, she always looked like Liz Taylor and Audrey Hepburn combined. Stunning.
I hope I can find my Russell...that loves me in spite of my flaws, who loves me, just because I need to be loved ❤️
Yes .... very nice fairytales...
Jean makes the most of this pre-feminist romantic melodrama, ably supported by the rest of the cast, who play it as sincerely as the material demands.
So true. It's like some of the other actors (especially the actor who played her husband) were made out of wood.
@@TronandFlynn82 True, but good looking wood though

@@antonietadeoliveira4900 I agree, even though it is totally irrelevant.
I guess grey was the "IT"color for interior design back in those days.
It was actually more of a blue.
It was actually beige and brown. The 2 worst colors ever. I see Megan Markle wearing so much solid dark brown and I want to scream at her! "No wonder nobody likes you! Wear some light colors and patterns, especially pink and blue flowers. There are a million choices, and you are wearing BROWN?!"

And I thought Guy Madison was just a cowboy. He was great in this part, so were Aumont and Simmons. She was lovely. I also liked that old Victorian house they lived in, it was like my grandparents'.
I love victorian as well.
Nice.
I think Russell made Hilda confident to get to her previous self, that should be needed as far as responsible husband is concerned👍
and what makes him even handsomer than Paul Newman is that he's not Paul Newman. :)
@@harmoniabalanza I never liked Paul Newman. He's way too arrogant!
Good for Hilda! She really married the right guy. He knew that love would heal her.
