Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr at their very best. I had the pleasure of working with Mitchum as an actor in Hollywood near the end of his career, and he was a joy to behold. Casual, genuine and a force of nature. He was not only a remarkable actor, but also a fine human being. They don't make actors like him anymore.
@Meister, Very true. Not the usual Mitchum performance. It shows how he can play a low key, sensitive type of character. Mitch is always a joy to watch. All best wishes.
I’m 77 years old and I have a brother in Utah who is 96 or 97 years old. He owns his own plane and still flies it himself. I live in Texas but when my granddaughter and I went up there to visit, he took her up in the plane and even let her fly it for a short time, just so she could feel how it felt. Many years ago he was in the Air Force and he’s been flying ever since then. ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
I am 80 years old and a German. This people did not fight for their country alone. They fought as well for us and I thank them for helping my generation to grow up in freedom.
Hello Juergen, greetings from Ohio USA. I'm 75, so you and I are in the same generation. I calculate that your were born in 1940-1939, just a young boy when the war started. I'm happy you survived, and have had a good life. I've always admired the German people. Yes, Hitler was an evil man, but the circumstances of the Versaille Treaty put him in power. The World has learned a lesson from that. I grew up in a small town, filled with men who fought in that war, and you're right, in part it was for you and all decent people.
@@TheEriekayaker Yes, but, if you haven't noticed there is an increasing, along with everything else anti America that is going on, I was saying people are saying The Soviet Union alone fought the Nazis, Even a close relative of mine told me it is the stuff of Hollywood movie making, the Americans did nothing.
This was my parents war. My father was in the Royal Navy. My mother worked on Spitfires commuting from Winchester to Southampton a mere 14 miles. The bombing of Southampton rendered the city unrecognizable from day to day my mother told me.My father was away for 2 years when my mom was pregnant with their first child, my older brother. She was relocated to a less dangerous place to have her baby. My brother was was a toddler when dad came home. I came along after the war but remember the bombed out areas and the ration books still being used when I was a little girl. This movie brought back memories of my wonderful parents, not that I don't think of them daily. I wept, this was a time when they were in their prime, just, starting their marriage. Thank you for this movie.
I remembered this movie and just recently saw it on youtube. It is one of my favorites. Both Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr had such a wonderful chemistry together and their movies were always great, especially the Sundowners. Also I have always had this THING😄 for Deborah Kerr. She was just such a classy beautiful woman.
Celine, Thank you for your comment. Very well said. I had the pleasure of working with Mitchum on a film as an actor, near the end of his career and he was a joy to behold.. All best wishes.
What a delight. Kerr and Mitchem still gorgeous and still give a touch of old Hollywood while showing the beauty of a lifelong romance. Great movie, great cast. Thank you for sharing 🌸
I went to Normandy, France with 35 students and 5 other fellow teachers in 1997. It was a sobering experience to see row after row of white crosses interspersed with some Jewish stars showing all the young American soldiers who died on French soil during WWII. The French showed such great respect for our soldiers with the sacred burial ground at Normandy. There is a sign as you enter that says "Silence, Sacred burial grounds." Our students, who were giggly teenagers, made not a sound as we walked through Normandy. This film reminded me of Normandy.
Ich finde diesen gefühlvollen Film mit den grossartigen Schauspielern einfach grossartig erist nie kitschig und trotzdem glaubt man die Gefühle fast greifen zu können. Wobei die Darsteller sehr viel dazu beitragen.
This movie is a true jewel! Robert Mitchum was such a wonderful actor, always believable no matter the role. Deborah Kerr superb, as always. So many gifted actors in this period piece. The story itself ran the gamut of emotions, from joy to sadness to heart-warming. Well done!!
Agreed Nancy, agreed! I love Mitchum or Kerr in all they ever did. Deborah was one to see in "From Here to Eternity." Great actress with another truly finest, Burt Lancaster.
I've watched this film several times. Each time is like the first time I discovered it just by chance. Perfection.. Deborah and Robert the perfect couple.
Two of my all time favourite actors.deborah Kerr and mitchum both have the quality of making their parts believable. Just natural born actors. Rest in peace both of you.
Robert Mitcum and Deborah Kerr... "Heaven Knows Mr. Allison", "Grass Is Greener", "The Sundowners". They were both amazing actors and it certainly was a magnetism between them.
Sorry to answer so late. Yes this is one my favorite movies, especially now that I am 71. I have always like these two actors movies. In my personal order of ranking my favorites 1. The Sundowners 2. Heaven Knows Mr. Allison 3. Reunion at Fairborough (coming up fast as my number 2) 4. The Grass is Greener.
I recall seeing this great film for the first time back in the mid 80's. I have just watched it again and it moved me more than I expected. This is due, in my view, to now being an old soldier in his late 60's who can , now, far more accurately relate to this bunch of 60 plus brave airmen who have travelled back nostalgically to England and their youth to relive their hopes and fears and remember all those young comrades who never made it back from that terrible aeriel conflict that did so much to help shorten the war in Europe. Sadly, since this film was made and first shown we have lost most of the guys and gals of this " greatest generation" to the inexorable march of time, my Mother and Father included.....thank you, each and everyone of you for your service and sacrifice.........Terry
Great movie! Stimulating so many emotions and to see first class actors such as Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr makes this movie a grand classic! Congratulations to the producers and entire cast. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So great this story . Mitchum , old Hollywood when men where men and Deborah Kerr ........tears remembering my godfather who flew Lancaster’s during the war . He would have loved this story .
So pleased to have stumbled upon this lovely, memorial movie. I had never heard of it, but three of my favorite stars in it. Sucg a great support cast too, and I enjoyed the scenery around Cambridge. Just perfect.. Never too old.
I agree, a gem to bc stumble upon. Sonething about the atmosphere, the texture and pace - you mentioned thecscenes around Cambridge - that feels familiar yet belonging to a distant past. The rapid, reshaping forces of the past decades makes the 40s through 70s feel so different in film that it seems it could be a century ago that people spoke and moved through the world in this way. Thanks for the comment. - Aaron
This movie got me missing Dad. He was my hero and one of our U.S. heroes as well. Dad flew bombing missions over Germany. Shot down, never knew what happened to his gunner. His parachute got hung up in a tree when a troop of soldiers showed up at about the same moment he released himself from the chute. He was a POW for the last 3 mo. of the war. Survived a death march. Saw Patton roll in to proclaim the war over & they were free. He wasn't big on Patton as he did not think he was the best strategist and he was pompous. He respected Col. Sutherland. Dad was a consummate pilot. Never knew he was a star basketball player, at his little h.s. until, through complete happenstance, I met a woman who asked me if I knew him. It was apparent she had had a big crush on him. She said that while other boys had pin ups on their bedroom walls, he had pictures of planes on his. I didn't ask how she came to know what was on his bedroom walls. Probably totally innocent. Shortly after he retired after 21 yrs of service, he got a job flying a helicopter. in Guatemala (cold war). It was fortunate that in his day pilots didn't have to specialize. And, a son of a logger could grow up to become a pilot. Leaving out some other stuff and still overlong. 😂 God bless our patriots.
I loved this about as much as I did Heaven Knows Mr. Allison. The two had a genuine and deep friendship that lasted until he passed in 1997. Both, especially Deborah Kerr, were 2 of my fav actors.
Thank u, Robert Mitchum is my fave actor. Can't wait 2 watch all his films. My Dad was an American Pilot in WW2. He had many screaming war nightmares. He past in Dec. 2016 @ 93 yrs old. Two military men played taps & folded the flag. I have a saved message of him on my phone wishing me a Happy Birthday which I listen to a lot. I have his war green long rain coat, his brown leather vest & a tan cotton life preserver vest. Thank u all 4 making this movie! God Bless, Peace...Love, Pam
My dad was also in WWII. He ran away from home to join the Navy..they found out a year into the Pacific and swore he'd do it again so his parents ok'd him to join thr Army. He was in the Berlin Airlift.The greatest gerneration!
@@GBR4MEI'm sitting here with my 86 yr old father in law. He was a gunner in the hot spot of a hurricane. He's been crying thru the whole movie. He hasn't reacted to anything since losing his beautiful wife of 58yrs 2 years ago. He is right with me, watching this movie and loving it.
I love this film. I loved it even more this (? times.) Mitchum cannot fail in a film, he cannot, anymore than Lancaster or Spencer Tracy, Bill Holden. Ms. Kerr so very beautiful in here, Mitchum very handsome...they never lost all they were and this is an outstanding love story...putting away, I hope, the nonsense that only the young are real lovers...the truth is I discovered that older, sustaining one's confidence, staying young at heart as Sinatra sang, taking care of ourselves & one another, the years of past experience make the latter years simply more exciting...to me anyway. What a beautiful story!
Very heart warming. My father flew spitfires out of Lincolnshire while in the RCAF. Makes me want to go back like in the movie. Truly the greatest generation they were.
@@iconbird And Heaven Knows Mr Allison & The Grass is Greener. Real chemisty. They both admitted in interviews that they were great friends & very fond of each other.
@@anairenemartinez165 I know it's just a movie, but I don't care for the Granddaughter very much, it's like she's taking all of her frustration out on him. She acts like he willingly abandoned her Grandma, when he didn't even know he had a family back there. Please let me know if I'm correct or completely wrong in my assessment
It's sad that movies of this caliber are no longer made. Today's movies for the most part are garbage, the acting at best is mediocre and the scripts are trash.
Probably the greatest couple in movie history; "Heaven only knows mister Allison" and more. War is something that can never be glorified but the will of man to extricate a people from tyranny is limitless. We must also celebrate the bond men share in service to a higher calling.
What a beautiful story and genuine acting by these two great stars. As if it is actually happening!thank you for for downloading this classical film just love it with all my heart. My two favourite film stars.simply precious!
Love this movie. I never saw it until a year ago here. If my memory serves me right Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum acted together in an old war movie called “ Heaven Knows Mr. Allison” as Kerr stranded on an island taken over by the Japanese and Mitchum as a Marine as well both come together hiding from the enemy in a cave. Love to see them together. ❤
Love to see any film with this star couple!! They have such marvellous chemistry 😍 my favourite was “Heaven Knows Mr. Allison” . Makes me wonder if they ever had off screen affair??
💕👍 nice..... born 45 in wiesbaden.... we kids , 5 or 6 ys of age, strolling through the city, saw gi‘s on trucks, throwing hersheys, popcorn, chewing-gums and comics to us.....for us, americans were angels, bringing gifts on trucks.... got my first comic: hopalong cassidy....🤣🤣🤣 still love the USA 🙋♀️🇩🇪 funny, how this works....
Quel merveilleux film !❤ qui nous replonge dans la triste histoire de la jeunesse de cette génération . Thanks to you all. Robert Mitchum si séduisant et Déborah Kerr quel joli couple !😍
This movie is just right for Memorial Day. Robert Mitchum has this incredible screen presence that made him hold his own against John Wayne's ability to dominate scenes. Deborah Kerr is as charming and elegant as ever.
Thank goodness this movie is "John Wayne absent" . I cannot abide his movies. I know I should separate the movies from his politics, racial proclivity and crude actions & verbage against blacks... I know I should... Same with Charlton Heston. Both on pedestals, Bigots. I'm so sorry, I am not to judge. Leave it to God. I'm sure He'll have a rant for me also. 😊😢
Thank you so much for offering us this most memorable & beautiful movie 🦋 This love 💕 story is so very real, so sensitive and respectful 🧚♂️The acting is super STAR 🌟 level 🌸💐🌹
That church scene towards the end of this movie is shot in the Shere village in Surrey. This village has also been featured in another Hollywood movie called Holiday starring Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz
Absolutely amazing movie; so touching. Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr were just as spectacular in this film as they were in Heaven Knows, Mr. Alison. Wonderful from the first minute to the last. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏆🇺🇸
Dear Gerry van Oene. Good grief, simply fantastic. What a wonderful movie and a big surprise for me (never heard of it at all). Beautiful Deborah Kerr and Granddaughter, great Robert Mitchum and, of course, great little Red Buttons. Great cast. Thank you so much for uploading and sharing. It was a real pleasure to watch. Best regards.
ah Red Buttons, he was very active in films when I was young as a humorist, dancer and back up guy for the strong handsome stars. Robert Mitchum.. wowser. Had crushes on him. The scariest movie seen was him as a Preacher, he killed his wife, then trailed after his two kids to do the same cause they saw him do it. He would go along singing 'Leaning on the Everlasting Arm." ..all his other movies also. THANK YOU for posting this one I have not watched. Robert walks like a panther... yums.
Double yum! Did you see Cape Fear? He plays a real baddie... Still scares me to death even tho I've watched it several times. Be sure to order the original with Mitchum. The new remake isn't as creepy.
Very strange that the rough-hewn Mitchum and the beautiful and refined Kerr had such wonderful chemistry on screen, they were great in The Grass is Allways Greener also, and of course, Heaven knows Mr. Allison.
They were a great screen team, and as you say, an unlikely one. Deborah said that Mitchum ‘had the soul of a poet’ and he often commented that she was his favourite leading lady. They are wonderful in their four films together, but as an Aussie, I’d have to say my favourite is The Sundowners. Saw it again recently - Deborah should have won the Oscar!
@@melodramaboy you are absolutely right she was just great there. But I suppose Oscar didn't matter at all, what matters is people's unconditional love to them
How nice - my Dad Was "Smitty the Flight Mechanic'" Army Air Corps WWII and later his hands made the gold foil on the Lunar Lander for DuPont / NASA. Such proud days and such love for America and peace and making good lives, from their experiences. He was stationed in UK and Morocco and Texas USA.
It was excellent. A reminder of the importance of the people and humanity for saving this planet. We are now awakening to the lies and who is responsible for wars and everything else.
A great film that shows a reuniting of these two stars for the fourth time who better to act in it than Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr they were also in Heaven Knows Mr Allison, The Sundowners, andThe Grass Is Greener all very good films
A Lovely emotional film as I am a war baby born in 1943 one of my uncles was in there Royal Air Force before during and after The Second World War served for 30 years in the Air Force
Good movie! And I liked Red Buttons, both the role he played and the way he performed it. Red’s still got it, hasn’t he?! Wow, he’s quick on his feet! All parts were played well. All of them. Facing up to real life isn’t for cowards … during a war - or after. Just being alive is a challenge - at any age … at every age. This film said that, and I agree.
WORDS OF REALITY AND WISDOM. OUR CHALLENGE IS ACCEPTANCE AND THANKFULNESS.. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, GREAT ACTORS HERE AND A STORYLINE THAT TOUCHES THE HEART.
Reunion at Farnborough is an awesome brilliant awes and stupendous film with her and chivalry acted by Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum to mention a few of WW two officers ! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅👏👏👏👏👏
Heartwarming story of beloved Veterans before the war and the struggle thereafter ... when the monuments/cemeteries were shown in honour of their sacrifice ... a great reminder on any day of something I do not take for granted, liberty.
My dad was in the air force in WWII (Canadian, but still under the UK in WWII) and I remember something I read in one of the squadron documents when they spoke of these times; "They gave their todays, so we could have our tomorrows".
Jan/2019- Just watched this movie again on TV. Struck home how many American service men were lost helping us and Europe fight for freedom. The slow camera pan of the cemetery is very moving. I realise many nations lost people during the war , but it never becomes a reality till you see the graves ! UK
My step dad survived his 35 missions & made it home. Think of how many crewmen became mince meat or m.i.a. in burning wreckage, never making it to a grave. Perhaps just lost to a cold, watery channel grave! 😢
Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr at their very best. I had the pleasure of working with Mitchum as an actor in Hollywood near the end of his career, and he was a joy to behold. Casual, genuine and a force of nature. He was not only a remarkable actor, but also a fine human being. They don't make actors like him anymore.
Hollywood could take a lesson from them..
beaudare , thanks for comment
@meister, Many thanks for your note. All best.
@@BeauDare-ov7py lovely movie, not as usual "heroic" in the way Mitchum & Kerr did it in former decades , but so lovely here ....
@Meister, Very true. Not the usual Mitchum performance. It shows how he can play a low key, sensitive type of character. Mitch is always a joy to watch. All best wishes.

What a great movie saw it on TV when it came out in 1985 Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr were fantastic
What a marvellous film with two such great actors so delicately filmed and acted
This was a wonderful movie. Robert Mitchum, Deborah Kerr, more of my favorites. Red Buttons was wonderful.

Another great one with cast led by great Gregory Peck is 12 o’clock high (1949, b&w).
Also very sobering film.

Very heart warming. My father flew spitfires out of Lincolnshire while in the RCAF. Makes me want to go back like in the movie. Truly the greatest generation they were.
I am thankful I found this movie. My parents married in 1946. This was their story.❤
Wonderful film, I thank you very much for posting this. Such a brilliant cast of esteemed actors 💝💛🩷💝
God bless all that serves past and present. Thank you and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏
ROBERT MITCUM is an inexhaustable actor to watch and enjoy his dynamic personality.
This is a touching old movie. Well worth watching. Atlanta. My husband was a pilot in ww2. Pray for those in service today.
First time I’ve seen this lovely movie! What a gem! 💎
Again !! so wonderful !! Always love this film.I am 81 so alive !! in WW 2 xx
So enjoyed the nostalgia--wonderful chemistry between Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr!
@@iconbird And Heaven Knows Mr Allison & The Grass is Greener. Real chemisty. They both admitted in interviews that they were great friends & very fond of each other.
Totally agree !
They seem a little rusty, maybe on purpose. The kid is flaky, one minute she hated him for being American
@@anairenemartinez165 I know it's just a movie, but I don't care for the Granddaughter very much, it's like she's taking all of her frustration out on him. She acts like he willingly abandoned her Grandma, when he didn't even know he had a family back there. Please let me know if I'm correct or completely wrong in my assessment
I was 11 years old when I first saw this movie on HBO. I've always been a history buff. I'm so happy to see this again.
It's sad that movies of this caliber are no longer made. Today's movies for the most part are garbage, the acting at best is mediocre and the scripts are trash.
My sentiments exactly
You've got that right, Robert Bishop!! fit for the sewer rats to feast on!
@@nadiahope1175 Many of todays films would be regarded as polluting the sewers.
@@bobbythorman7421 well said!....pitty for the rats!
Professionals of that era would characterize present fare with one simple phrase: BAD TASTE.
Probably the greatest couple in movie history; "Heaven only knows mister Allison" and more. War is something that can never be glorified but the will of man to extricate a people from tyranny is limitless. We must also celebrate the bond men share in service to a higher calling.
What a beautiful story and genuine acting by these two great stars. As if it is actually happening!thank you for for downloading this classical film just love it with all my heart. My two favourite film stars.simply precious!
Love this movie. I never saw it until a year ago here. If my memory serves me right Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum acted together in an old war movie called “ Heaven Knows Mr. Allison” as Kerr stranded on an island taken over by the Japanese and Mitchum as a Marine as well both come together hiding from the enemy in a cave. Love to see them together. ❤
Memories, never die.. wonderful excellent movie
I absolutely love movies with happy endings. So rare these days. And with people who actually know how to act without all the staging glitz.
Watched the pair again straight away after In yhe sundowners & heaven knows mr allison? time to try Tom Hanks in "The Bridge Of Spies?"
Amen sister!!
Love to see any film with this star couple!! They have such marvellous chemistry 😍 my favourite was “Heaven Knows Mr. Allison” . Makes me wonder if they ever had off screen affair??
No they didnt, although Deborah Kerr was Mitchum's great playonic love.
I enjoyed this movie so much. I always enjoyed watching his movies from the 1950's onwards. .. Thank you again ..
Enjoyed it as well
💕👍 nice.....
born 45 in wiesbaden....
we kids , 5 or 6 ys of age, strolling through the city, saw gi‘s on trucks, throwing hersheys, popcorn, chewing-gums and comics to us.....for us, americans were angels, bringing gifts on trucks....
got my first comic: hopalong cassidy....🤣🤣🤣
still love the USA 🙋♀️🇩🇪 funny, how this works....
Quel merveilleux film !❤ qui nous replonge dans la triste histoire de la jeunesse de cette génération . Thanks to you all.
Robert Mitchum si séduisant et Déborah Kerr quel joli couple !😍
This movie is just right for Memorial Day. Robert Mitchum has this incredible screen presence that made him hold his own against John Wayne's ability to dominate scenes. Deborah Kerr is as charming and elegant as ever.
Hi, Alan, is this a made-for-TV movie? Thanks!
@@josephcollins6033 yes, it's a made for TV movie, 1985.
@@marjoriegarner5369 You are so kind to take the time to answer me! Thanks!
@@josephcollins6033 happy to share. you're welcome. greetings from Montana.
Thank goodness this movie is "John Wayne absent" . I cannot abide his movies. I know I should separate the movies from his politics, racial proclivity and crude actions & verbage against blacks... I know I should... Same with Charlton Heston. Both on pedestals, Bigots. I'm so sorry, I am not to judge. Leave it to God. I'm sure He'll have a rant for me also. 😊😢
I love Mitchum. He was so human.
Mitchum loves you.
+spurnthemuse Glad to hear it.
Very true . Have you seen Angel Face (1953) with Jean Simmons . Words fail me 😛❗️
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a mediocre movie
Thank you very much for sharing this gem of film... Deborah and Robert are always amazing together...
A wonderful film.
I have Heaven knows on DVD, watched as a child and impressed me terribly.
Thank you so much for offering us this most memorable & beautiful movie 🦋 This love 💕 story is so very real, so sensitive and respectful 🧚♂️The acting is super STAR 🌟 level 🌸💐🌹
Must have been a great pleasure to work with Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr. Two of the best. Deborah was Scottish!
Fabulous! I loved the BW films, God Bless The AAC and the RAF.
That church scene towards the end of this movie is shot in the Shere village in Surrey. This village has also been featured in another Hollywood movie called Holiday starring Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz
Absolutely amazing movie; so touching. Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr were just as spectacular in this film as they were in Heaven Knows, Mr. Alison. Wonderful from the first minute to the last. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏆🇺🇸
great watching these two old pros together again--
How wonderful is this; bravo; thank you for uploading.
1947 Out of the Past. One of my favorite movies. Great movie.
Dear Gerry van Oene.
Good grief, simply fantastic. What a wonderful movie and a big surprise for me (never heard of it at all). Beautiful Deborah Kerr and Granddaughter, great Robert Mitchum and, of course, great little Red Buttons. Great cast.
Thank you so much for uploading and sharing. It was a real pleasure to watch.
Best regards.
You mean "Jiggs?"(Red Buttons")
ah Red Buttons, he was very active in films when I was young as a humorist, dancer and back up guy for the strong handsome stars. Robert Mitchum.. wowser. Had crushes on him. The scariest movie seen was him as a Preacher, he killed his wife, then trailed after his two kids to do the same cause they saw him do it. He would go along singing 'Leaning on the Everlasting Arm." ..all his other movies also. THANK YOU for posting this one I have not watched. Robert walks like a panther... yums.
Double yum! Did you see Cape Fear? He plays a real baddie... Still scares me to death even tho I've watched it several times. Be sure to order the original with Mitchum. The new remake isn't as creepy.
Loved it!....I watch it over and over when i need a lift...Thanks.....
Very strange that the rough-hewn Mitchum and the beautiful and refined Kerr had such wonderful chemistry on screen, they were great in The Grass is Allways Greener also, and of course, Heaven knows Mr. Allison.
They were a great screen team, and as you say, an unlikely one. Deborah said that Mitchum ‘had the soul of a poet’ and he often commented that she was his favourite leading lady. They are wonderful in their four films together, but as an Aussie, I’d have to say my favourite is The Sundowners. Saw it again recently - Deborah should have won the Oscar!
@@melodramaboy you are absolutely right she was just great there. But I suppose Oscar didn't matter at all, what matters is people's unconditional love to them
@@melodramaboy Sundowners, favourite
I had this on VHS at one time and hadn't seen it since. My husband and I both really enjoyed it as it was kind of about WWII.
How nice - my Dad Was "Smitty the Flight Mechanic'" Army Air Corps WWII and later his hands made the gold foil on the Lunar Lander for DuPont / NASA. Such proud days and such love for America and peace and making good lives, from their experiences. He was stationed in UK and Morocco and Texas USA.
bless him!
God bless him.
It was excellent. A reminder of the importance of the people and humanity for saving this planet. We are now awakening to the lies and who is responsible for wars and everything else.
A great film that shows a reuniting of these two stars for the fourth time who better to act in it than Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr they were also in Heaven Knows Mr Allison, The Sundowners, andThe Grass Is Greener all very good films
A Lovely emotional film as I am a war baby born in 1943 one of my uncles was in there Royal Air Force before during and after The Second World War served for 30 years in the Air Force
The absolute best movie with Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr!!!!
Thank you for kindly uploading such a great movie . I love movies of war.
Robert Mitchum was one of the greatest.
Yes
1:51:10
He truly was one of the greatest. A man of hard core steel and the heart of a lion. Same goes for Jim Garner and many others. True men!
Indeed he was! ❤
Numerous movies show what is sacrificed during a war. Watched this one for 4th, 2023. Glad I did. Much better than I expected it to be. Depth.
Good movie! And I liked Red Buttons, both the role he played and the way he performed it. Red’s still got it, hasn’t he?! Wow, he’s quick on his feet! All parts were played well. All of them. Facing up to real life isn’t for cowards … during a war - or after. Just being alive is a challenge - at any age … at every age. This film said that, and I agree.
Indeed it is.
He may have had "it" then, but this was very close to 40 years ago. Kerr & Mitchum are no longer with us
WORDS OF REALITY AND WISDOM. OUR CHALLENGE IS ACCEPTANCE AND THANKFULNESS.. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, GREAT ACTORS HERE AND A STORYLINE THAT TOUCHES THE HEART.
They worked so well together.
I love this movie!! I have tried to find it for YEARS!! Thank you
My dad was in the 482nd BG”Pathfinders” stationed at Alcunbury RAF
Once in a while you have good sensible movie that has some class.
Thank you for this movie.
Amazing actions, actors, sound.
București, RO
Reunion at Farnborough is an awesome brilliant awes
and stupendous film with her
and chivalry acted by Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum to mention a few of WW two officers !
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅👏👏👏👏👏
the title was"Reunion at Fairborough but i was at Greenham and Farnborough as a young engineer in 1962? your close enough?
@@henrywalker5746 "your" is incorrect, as it is the possesive, you should use "you are" in this instance,
Heartwarming story of beloved Veterans before the war and the struggle thereafter ... when the monuments/cemeteries were shown in honour of their sacrifice ... a great reminder on any day of something I do not take for granted, liberty.
What a beautiful movie. Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum are just beautiful people!
There is no one left who knows how to write a good script, direct or act.
just fantastic...i enjoyed watching a movie after a long time...thank you
My dad was in the air force in WWII (Canadian, but still under the UK in WWII) and I remember something I read in one of the squadron documents when they spoke of these times; "They gave their todays, so we could have our tomorrows".
Be proud of your dad!
God bless them all and may we NEVER forget what they did.
Thank you for our freedom.Salute!
Talented cast, led by Mitchum, Kerr, Buttons, Morse, etc. Great period reminisce & historical settings.
You are so right. Quality of acting, storyline and directing. Movies that portray the honesty of the human condition in grief and joy. Thank you.
Jan/2019- Just watched this movie again on TV. Struck home how many American service men were lost helping us and Europe fight for freedom. The slow camera pan of the cemetery is very moving.
I realise many nations lost people during the war , but it never becomes a reality till you see the graves ! UK
My step dad survived his 35 missions & made it home. Think of how many crewmen became mince meat or m.i.a. in burning wreckage, never making it to a grave. Perhaps just lost to a cold, watery channel grave! 😢
Great movie! Thanks for putting it online! Really enjoyed it!
What a great film,with such fantastic actors.Thoroughly enjoyed it,and loved the flying sequence!
What an absolutely beautiful movie! Had me in tears & tons of smiles! :-)
Thanks for the upload of this Great movie!!!
watched it ten or more times? Great Movie but then Robert is a favourite?
Thank You so very much. I've always loved this movie. Thanks.
Saw this years ago and loved it..thanks for making this gem available!
