- If you watched the other video I posted from this movie you'll find that "Johnny" is a term for the guy that you fall in love with. His name could be anything, but since you haven't met him yet you just call him Johnny until you finally meet him.
Lana Turner is phenomenal in this film with Robert Young. I love the look she gives him when she finally realizes that Bob is her "Johnny"
Peggy is 21 and bored. She has just been awarded a certificate for starting work on time for 1000 days. She decides that she needs a change so she leaves a note, which is taken to be suicidal, and heads for New York where she gets a make over. A new outfit, a new look and a freak accident gets her in the paper as an amnesia victim, just because she does not want to be Peggy Evans any more. The paper thinks she may be an heiress so she searches for a few clues from back issues of the paper and finds that Carol Burden was never found. Cornelius Burden, however, has sent dozens of frauds to jail already and she must trick him and Baba to keep out of jail. Next, she must stop her old manager, Bob Stuart (Robert Young), from spilling the beans about her.
When Bob finds Peggy he declares that she is his wife, Cornelius demands an explanation. Bob shows Cornelius a fake marriage certificate with Peggy's lifted fingerprint on it and states that she has had amnesia for as long as he has known her and, consequently, he knows nothing about her childhood. While insisting that she has no memory of Bob, Peggy convinces Cornelius, whom she has grown to love like her own father, to allow her to go to Hotchkiss Falls to make her own determinations. On the way, Bob confronts Peggy with her deception, then informs her about the trouble she has caused him. Peggy persists in her impersonation, however, and while stopped at an all-night restaurant, sabotages his car. Although she knows she is not his wife she goes with it in hopes that he will finally call off his attempt to release her secret.
At this point they dance to Benny Goodman's "Stomping at the Savoy" - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Turner may not have been "best actress of her time", but she was incredibly underrated. She is superb in "Postman", "Johnny Eager", "Ziegfeld Girl", "The Bad and the Beautiful"...several others. Too bad her beauty, private scandals and bad movies override how great she is in the good films. Yes, I can name actors that are better, but I can name countless who weren't AS good (Veronica Lake, Cyd Charrise, Kim Novak, etc.).
she is my new favorite interest , I just love her style. she caught my eye in the postman always rings twice. I realized she was an excellent actress, Tons of quality.
Awesome scene and they had a steamy romance in real life! We don't see movies like this anymore...this was a classy era!
I understood R Young to be faithfully married? (I'm aware he had mental health issues re depression n drinking BUT never heard anything re being anything other than "straight/honest" in his relationships? (though his wife was extremely plain, they married young and I guess she supported his introvert nature - though both drank n had depression so fairly likely in reality that while "devoted" it was a co-dependent toxic relationship. What's ur source re his having had an affair? Its only by watching these old films I now appreciate he could act very well and had a broader ranfe than given credit for.
I agree. I wouldn't call Lana Turner the best actress of her time, but she certainly shows off her skills in this scene. I got my copy from Warner Archives and I was taking a risk bc I had never seen the movie. To my surprise and delight, it has become one of my favorite romantic comedies and subsequently one of my favorite Lana Turner movies.
To the diva legend. Lana. Turner will forever ❤️🌹🌷 live in the hearts & minds of millions!!!! Her classy way she just holds her own!!! May she rest in ☮️ and she will be a timeless beauty. Loved get in. No life of her own . And. Ziegfield. Girl. I especially love. Home coming and. Somewhere. I'll find you with. Clark. Gable ❤️🌹🌹💐🌈. Rhonda. Prater. Merced. Ca.
She so beautiful! Way more beautiful than Marylin
No.. they're both very beautiful.
Lana looks Stunning....
Absolutely loved this film. You feel so good after you see this. Lana is fantastic
Thank you so much for posting this! I can't wait for my copy of Slightly Dangerous to arrive! Lana Turner is as always, Amazing!
so beautiful
Also, Robert Young is pretty hilarious. The scene where he's hanging from the balcony! What a nut! The ending of the movie has some cheesy moments, but besides that. So many nice moments. When she has to choose the toy from her childhood. That's the scene that my mom remembered and that made her have this dvd made. But this dancing scene. What a gem. Her laugh. And what she does with her hands when he's attempting his little shuffle. She's so natural. Would like to have dated her, haha.
Love this scene! My idol...such a beauty!! 😊
I own a dvd copy of this movie, specially made. It is a really fun movie. But this dance scene in this restaurant is one of the best scenes of all time. Lana Turner is so appealing! She is a really smooth and charming dancer, and she seems to move through so many wonderful areas of attraction and feeling. Just beautiful.
For a "find" at Schwab's drug store, this gal nails the moves. What a pro.
By the way, Tori, thank you so much for telling us what this musical piece is. It's been killing me!

I've seen Grable's films, Toots, including "I Wake Up Screaming." I think Grable was an okay actress (very wise-cracking), a decent dancer and an underrated singer. But Turner proved her mettle in too many films, not the least of which, is "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Grable may have been "more natural" to you, Hon, but she couldn't top Turner's best dramatic work. 'Nuff said. So long.
A hamburger 🍔 and coffee ☕️. Just like Mary Tyler Moore as Mary Richards. Ordering lunch in the newsroom. Two great ladies.
I would love to see this movie.

@@doowoppiddyone8469 Thank you. I watched the film. Excellent.
The tune is "Stompin' at the Savoy," a popular dance number of the time. Benny Goodman's instrumental version is best known, though I don't think this is it.
'Stompin' at the Savoy" is a Harlem tune recorded by the Chick Webb Orchestra in 1934 while it was the house band at Harlem's famous Savoy Ballroom. The tune was composed by Webb's saxophonist, Edgar Sampson, who was later hired by Benny Goodman as a writer/arranger. When in New York, Lana Turner is known to have visited the Savoy Ballroom on many occasion and is credited with giving it one of its enduring nicknames, "The Home of Happy Feet."
The Savoy Ballroom was renown as THE trend setter in swing and jitterbug dance venues. Many dances were originated, developed, and became famous there. It's resident dance troupe, 'Whitey's Lindy Hoppers" became exports to Broadway shows and Hollywood movies, such as "A Day at the Races," "Hellzapoppin'" and others. Hollywood's 1943 "Swing Fever," which made dancer Jean Veloz an International celebrity, was conceived on Savoy Ballroom dances.
Nice to see Robert Young in a leading role. He was such a good actor , but mostly suck in supporting or parts he never go the girl at the end.
'Nothing. That's what makes it so ideal!"
Do NOT like this
Lana's Hot ! Love this movie
Can someone please tell me the name of the song that is playing when they are dAncing? Thanks
Sorry, disagree. Turner was sensational in several films, including her last big movie, "Madame X." I've never seen Grable given a comparable performance. So sorry.
I agree that Grable was a better singer, but since Turner didn't sing AT ALL, that point is moot. I disagree that Grable was a better actor. Turner gave more and stronger performances. Grable also wasn't as pretty. But Grable was a much better singer than generally given credit for. I always liked the sound of her voice.
Бесподобная,она красивее Монро!
Fact
So she has no need to be loved herself? Ugh.. 😐

Wonder why Lana Turner never posted naked?
Women didn't do that in that era, it could destroy their careers. Besides, they had class and kept their private lives private, not to mention they kept their privates private as well. If you want to see a "sort of" celebrity look up Kim Khardashian; she shows it all.Trash gal.
I agree Khardashian is a piece of trash. However, I think posing naked can be a piece of class act if do it in a right way in the 1940s
andyusfca It could have been a class act,but the studio system didn't allow that sort of thing and careers could be ruined.
Hedy Lamarr was nude in "Ecstasy" but that was a foreign film.
Because she was a classy woman!
