This was made back when movies were stories that had characters, and the characters had dialog that required actual talent from actors. I could watch these old classics all day, and today that's what I'm doing. Thank you for posting! 😊
Imagine the days of Old Hollywood and London Films when you would see masterpieces like this in a beautiful movie house, that seconded as an opera house with balconies. Refreshments and soda fountains to quench your thirst. Custodians to escort you to a seat. Luscious fabrics for wall paper and curtains. The whole atmosphere transported you to a different world.
Your skills of transporting an audience into a time gone by, enveloped me, thank you. Picking the hulls from under my gums, and sucking on the straw of an over-priced fountain drink, as the curtains open... Sigh those were the days of creative minds, shared by the masses.
The movie theatres I attended were dedicated movie theatres. Beyond that, I believe it would have been opera house first with projectors and screens added when audiences lessened and film became popular. In fact, I am certain of it. The one theatre was the most stunningly beautiful, with expansive murals that transported one to other worlds, rich carpeting, ladies and men's lounges. The chandeliers. Carvings and wall sconces.
❤As an American living in Okeechobee, Florida I served in the US Army and cross trained at Fort Benning, Georgia with British soldiers of the most up standing military. I am proud to say they are proud of their rich heritage and history. Watching this movie reminds me of their dedication to England.🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This wonderful film has to be thee finest I have ever watched in all my 65 years. Classical acting at it’s best. Story full of suspense, coupled with valued traditions that are sadly gone with time. Such an intelligent script performed by consummate actors. What a wonderful afternoon I’ve had watching.
It took me a few seconds to recognise Tyrone Powers. Twenty-two years young and severely plucked eyebrows... But what a presence, what a voice, what subtlety. A great actor, sadly taken too young.
Henry King never disappoints as a director. What a wonderful film from 1936. Great script, superb cast, wonderful suspense and fabulous costumes. Screen magic from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
On this Wednesday, the twenty sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty two, at the 10th hour of the morning, I am sat in front of a roaring fire supping a Guiness cold brew coffee beer with fried chicken wings whilst savoring this cinematic masterpiece. Thank you for such a mid week treat.
I'm here again! I don't get tired of watching this movie. It's excellent! Very well directed by Henry King! The cast marvelous. But since I love to the great Tyrone Power, for me, he is the best! So young! He was only 22 years old! This was his first important movie and until his last full movie, "Witness for the prosecution" (1957), he proved to be a talented actor! He was versatile, subtle, convincing, warm, elegant, handsome and he was an excellent comedian, too! But his detractors never forgave him his great male beauty. And no actor looked as good the period costumes as him. My adored Ty: Always in my mind and in my heart! Thanks! :)
What a wonderful movie ..... Started with two boys and their friendship ... Then to manhood .. To the love of his life .... To his success ... To his friendship again .... Beautiful movie ....
Thank you so much for this wonderful movie modern movies do not come close to the brilliant old films, they have stood the test of time. A very young handsome looking Tyrone Power he had something special, a splendid cast fine acting.😁🇦🇽
I remember when he died, back in late 50's. Great grieving in my household. I look at photos of him now, on the set for Solomon and Sheba, I see his puffiness, looks like he doesn't feel well. I wonder, did they do insurance physicals on actors back then? Such a tragedy that he died so senselessly, today, hopefully, he could have been saved. Just loved the humanity in his face, and voice. He filled the screen. Think I'll watch this again today.
Old films get forgotten....but when revisited, gladden the eyes and ears.....great camera work, great sound, splendid acting and production values...and free to watch. What more do you want?!
I wish more credit was given to the Art & Set Directors. When you look their names up, they are hardly mentioned. Attention to period details, costumes, the sets and fantastic genuine 18th century furniture was a must in movies of the 1930s and 1940s. This will never been seen again in the movies. Such a delight to see!
If you haven’t already, may I suggest you watch Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife? From your comments, you enjoy the ‘true to period detail’ displayed in the dress & set designs, etc., shown in this fabulous movie. From what I can see and understand about the TV series Downton Abbey has put much effort into the production. I learned very much about the history England, WWll and the years following the war especially how the soldiers lives were effected afterward. The fact that it’s filmed in the hall of the local Lord is amazing in itself. Im an American and I can say for sure, a production company would be hard pressed to film in home like this in my country while it’s being occupied by the owners DURING the filming !!! Amazing. There are some good documentaries about the filming of Downton you may enjoy as well. One has an interview with Lady Carnarven of Highclere Castle, home of Downton Abbey. To top of my accolades, Jullien Fellows is the creator of the series Downton Abbey and I’d be thrilled to watch anything that he’s lent his creative genius to
Thanks so much for your comment on the accuracy of period details. I tend to not pay much attention, since I'm not well versed in those details. Getting your Reply was VERY encouraging to me to want to go back and watch it again, this time with trust in those DETAILS. Appreciatively, N
Robert Train in looking at the story how important the way you think and the people you meet can make great changes in the world we live in and some see more 2 boys meet each become a leader and the English and French come to war and even America will have a third more land and how the man on the $10 dollar paper is Hamilton that created a Bank of America and had more than $15,000,000 to buy the Louisiana Parchest and still Napoleon lost the war with England and the boy who was his first friend was the Greatest leader of the Navy
I loved Ty Power, I was a child when he died but thru old movies I have found him...I wish he would have had a long life. He was an incredible actor and the best looking star ever.
Don't believe it for a minute. Besides the three WOMEN he MARRIED at different times, there are several other known romantic involvements he had with WOMEN. His daughter Romina for one has denied the bi/gay rumors. Jack Elam also denied them, in no uncertain terms: "There’s no way those people saying that stuff about Ty aren’t full of shit!"
I love these movies! Freddie Bartholomew , Tyrone Power and all cast members are just pure golden in this movie! Freddie was an exceptional actor, an old soul in a young man’s body! Thank-you so much for sharing this wonderful movie! And what adventure movie would be without George Sanders being the bad snob! 😉 Sadly we will never see such a great movie again, todays world just don’t use their imagination in writing and film production!
Sadly, you're right! This film would be dismissed as "sentimental hogwash" by many today,, but,, it certainly WAS NOT,, by those in the day when this was made. It was taken seriously, and as for me,, I take it just as serious as they did then! Because,,, life,, is a wonderful thing,,, for those who take it so!!! Cheers to you, and God bless!!!
That is thee way I feel rite now watching this film I have heard the Title for years and I just found out it is a movie and I am watching it rite now I do feel lucky or something blessed.
I'll admit it, I love Tyrone Power and have seen most of his films but this is the first time I have seen this outstanding movie. What a great performance from a very young talented and beautiful Tyrone! Thanks for posting this great film that I am so glad, I finally saw! It is shameful that Tyrone Power was never even nominated for an Academy Award in his two+ decade career in motion pictures. He really is, the most beautiful man I've ever seen PERIOD.
Commerce, banking, trade, capitalism, free enterprise is a fact of life not an evil. It is how business offers employment, taxes support govt programs for society, etc. The main comment is for this wonderful movie and script which was well directed and acted by Power with dignity, depth and sensitivity. Bartholomew was always great in his youth roles. Quality production and supporting cast makes this an outstanding drama. Thanks!
No this film does NOT celebrate slavery. It is a about a poor boy who goes to work in Lloyd's Coffee House which was where "syndicates" would insure ships against crashing on rocks in storms etc. I believe there was a part where the main character finds out about the ships that carried slaves BUT LLOYD'S of LONDON insured all kids of ships and all kinds of cargo. I shall watch it again and then comment /reply to your comment again. Anyway the movie did NOT celebrate slavery.
@@marlene-rr2ih Who are ""we" ? Everybody I know calls what happened back then slavery. I only hear "human trafficking" in the context of modern day slavery.
A wonderful cast....cant beat Freddie and Tyrone!!...these were the days...marvelous films..great casts and INTELLIGENT scripts....will NEVER see the likes again( if u like this...watch David Copperfield...Marie Antionette....les Miz...
Thank you for this movie availability, especially without ads. Golden, halcyon days of movie making that all may see: glorious set designs, props, wardrobe andd attention to detail.
This movie represented the introduction of Tyrone Power, at 22 yrs old, to the golden age of Hollywood...he was underrated because he was so very good looking, with such easy grace and a marvelous voice....
An absolutely spectacular 84-year old film of the affection between two boyhood friends which was forced apart by different futures that helped the other in serving a mutual cause. Their loyalty to one another continued into manhood while unable to see the other and not even knowing when they briefly passed each other on one night. Some funny scenes ... an old man hitting on a young woman who retorted that he never believed in being friends with women and isn't going to start at 70! The performances by all were naturally striking.
I never get tired of watching this movie, especially the close ups of Ty's beautiful face. What a gifted actor and wonderful person he was. When he tears up I do too!
Claire Palmer: Hi! I liked your comment. I love all Tyrone Power's movies and this is one of my favorite. Its end is moving! I'm a Mr. Power's incondicional admirer! He was as talented as handsome. Cheers.
God what a great movie!! What a joy to see Admiral Nelson and Little Lord Fauntleroy both. Just great. Tryone Power did such a fine job of mirroring the same values that his boyhood counterpart held as well. Fine acting, fine writing, just amazing.
It was wonderful to find this Tyrone's film here. His first one if I remember well... He was great from the start! Thanks a lot for giving us such a treasure.
Wow, I'm shocked! This movie was fantastic (weird rewinds and such notwithstanding!). I'm a big fan of British Naval History (Horatio Hornblower and all that) and had no knowledge of this movie. Great story, such a young Tyrone Power - didn't even recognize him! Excellent story, great acting and writing, thank you for the upload! 🎥 👍
As many times as I have watched this movie, it's always a delight. Everyone did a stellar job of it; especially the boys. 🍃 The song they were playing on concertina in the tavern when Jonathan Blake was in France dressed as a priest, I learned as a child. It's called, "Avec Mes Sabot." * I can't believe I still remember the words! 😊 * Translation: "With My Shoes." Sabot are carved out, one piece, all wood shoes much like the Dutch clogs, except sabot have a lip that protrudes off the back at the heel, and they don't have the puffy dome over the top like Dutch clogs have. (Suddenly, I'm hearing Barbra Streisand singing, "Memories," lol!! 😅)
Hermosa película! La veo a menudo! En realidad amo al talentoso Tyrone Power y miro todas sus películas siempre! Nunca, nadie, antes ni después lució los trajes de época como él. Una maravilla! Era hermoso y muchos no se lo perdonaron!!! Gracias!!!
You are absolutely right. Todays films are way over the top and getting worse if that is possible. The oldies were so much more natural and relied upon excellent scripts and great acting ability.
This was so good. Only seen it in snippets for years. To watch, tho' from beginning to end, what a treat. Old Ty was such a handsome young man. Glad Zanuck took a chance on a newcomer. What a gift for us!!
My husband was a Pompey man & a great admirer of Horatio Nelson. We delivered a pair of puppies. I handed him one, telling him it was his & he immediately named him: Admiral, Lord Horatio Nelson. The vet was well informed that it was NEVER to be shortened. The wee lad outlived his Daddy by 4 years. He was a heroic wee lad, ending up with ONE eye & always managed to fall into the fish pond. Aptly named, I think!
I car barely describe my gratitude for this upload. I’ve learned more in the past two hours about the early history of this important sector of British commerce, the coastline battles in the war between France and England and the history of Lloyd’s of London, of course, than I learned at school in 12 years!
I'd love to see a crisp print of this film. It's such a wonderful story. And the best scene of all in my opinion is the separation of the two boys as one journeys to London and one goes off to sea, neither to ever see each other again.
people always mention how beautiful etc power was but his incredible acting skills far exceeded his beauty to a degree that this viewer that his face became secondary
Wonderful. sadly, people are not this true and honest anymore these days. Thanks so much for sending us back to a time when people really cared for one another. Enjoyed it! :)
This is certainly one of the finest classic films made! And the acting is wonderful, and, believable! The scene when Horatio and Jonathan part is enough to make anyone reach for the kleenex,,,, again,,, and,,,, again!!!! Thanks so very much for these films, and thanks for the heart lift!!!
This is an excellent video and I'm greatful for the opportunity to watch it. Thanks to everyone and everything that came together to make this possible!! :-)
What a great role for Tyrone power!!. Although, he was very young (22 years of age at the time) but showed an uprising star. I love his voice. Thanks for uploading.
You can find them, all you need to do is put out a want ad like I do - Wanted, woman to dress up in 18th century English finery for a weekend of fun and drunken debauchery, costumes provided. You will advert for a good looking man though of course.
I love this movie. I’ve been watching all the black and white movie classics since I was 10 years old. Errol Flynn is also one of my favorites actor including Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Bogart I also love and the list goes on. Thanks for sharing.
This was made back when movies were stories that had characters, and the characters had dialog that required actual talent from actors. I could watch these old classics all day, and today that's what I'm doing. Thank you for posting! 😊
A magnificent movie in the grand style. It justifiably made Tyrone Power a great star.
Never knew this movie existed --- and that Tyrone Power was seriously handsome.
God Tyrone Power was handsome! and George Sanders plays the foppish aristocrat like no other! What a wonderful film--i just love these masterpieces!

George Sanders, such a fine Actor , he makes any film that he is in .
and such a voice! Sanders was unforgetable.
An age of movie making never to be repeated. Tyrone was so young. So handsome. So talented.
What a wonderful, dear old movie. With all the best features. Good actors, dialogue, story, and honour. Loved it

A great movie ! Well acted and produced.
In my opinion, this was Tyrone Power's best role. It's a WONDERFUL movie.
What a joy it was to view this movie. SO much better than anything created by Hollywood in the past 50 years.
Really? You think its all been downhill since 1970? You should try watching more films.

Saw this movie as a young boy in the 60s. I always remembered it in later life when I heard the name Lloyds of London. Great movie.

Tyrone Power one of my mother's favourite actors, i can see why he was very handsome.

He’s definitely my favourite actor 💖

Love hearing the voice of E E Clive (The judge) 😊
also great in "A Tale of Two Cities" 1935

I have watched this several times over the years. A great classic with historical roots.

Sadly we will never see such a great movie again, todays world just don’t use their imagination in writing and film production!
One of my most cherished movies is Freddie Bartholomew in Little Lord Faunterloy. Think i misspelled name.
Who would ever have thought that a movie about an insurance company could be brilliant and fascinating, right from the jump?! This one is!
Seth Tyrssen My thoughts EXACTLY ! Lol, lol
it has been always about.... their.... money.... Lloyd and Rothschild and Hollywood families.
Double Indemnity was pretty good also.
Fuck that slavery shit!

Similar to Alain Delon.

THIS IS A MAJOR HISTORICAL FILM. How can it be hidden away in the depths of CZcams obscurity?
Is CZcams obscurity? It's had over half a million views.
God the glamour of the women--i just luv the clothes
As many times as I have watched this movie, it's always a delight. Everyone did a stellar job of it; especially the boys. 🍃
The song they were playing on concertina in the tavern when Jonathan Blake was in France dressed as a priest, I learned as a child. It's called, "Avec Mes Sabot." * I can't believe I still remember the words! 😊
* Translation: "With My Shoes." Sabot are carved out, one piece, all wood shoes much like the Dutch clogs, except sabot have a lip that protrudes off the back at the heel, and they don't have the puffy dome over the top like Dutch clogs have. (Suddenly, I'm hearing Barbra Streisand singing, "Memories," lol!! 😅)
Right out of Daniel Defoe's 17th century England. Moll Flanders, Newgate Prison...love it...luv my British literature
Such a brilliant movie. Loved it. :)
Hermosa película! La veo a menudo! En realidad amo al talentoso Tyrone Power y miro todas sus películas siempre! Nunca, nadie, antes ni después lució los trajes de época como él. Una maravilla! Era hermoso y muchos no se lo perdonaron!!! Gracias!!!
Great unjustly forgotten film. Thank you for posting
You are absolutely right. Todays films are way over the top and getting worse if that is possible. The oldies were so much more natural and relied upon excellent scripts and great acting ability.
This is the movie that established Tyrone Power as a movie star. Power served with the US Marines in WWII, flying R5C Commando aircraft.
This was so good. Only seen it in snippets for years. To watch, tho' from beginning to end, what a treat. Old Ty was such a handsome young man. Glad Zanuck took a chance on a newcomer. What a gift for us!!
One of my favorite films!! Tear up every time!! Sooo good!
Top movie. Five stars. If you love traditional England (and I do), you will love this film.
I saluted at the end, thank you for sharing this amazing movie
Such talent this boy could make you cry and laugh better than any of today’s actors adults included. Thank you for posting!
Yikes ! Eighty-four years young and just as wonderful as the day of it’s premier. Thanks so much.
Love Freddie❤️
Amazing little actor!!!
My husband was a Pompey man & a great admirer of Horatio Nelson.
We delivered a pair of puppies.
I handed him one, telling him it was his & he immediately named him:
Admiral, Lord Horatio Nelson. The vet was well informed that it was NEVER to be shortened.
The wee lad outlived his Daddy by 4 years. He was a heroic wee lad, ending up with ONE eye & always managed to fall into the fish pond.
Aptly named, I think!
Wonderful movie!
Que dicción, que voz inconfundible!!! Amo a Tyrone Power! Gracias!
I car barely describe my gratitude for this upload. I’ve learned more in the past two hours about the early history of this important sector of British commerce, the coastline battles in the war between France and England and the history of Lloyd’s of London, of course, than I learned at school in 12 years!
Oh dear, you didn't think this film was historically accurate did you?
@@lizclegg7556 what a rude and unhelpful comment.
I love 💘movies like these! Thank you! ❤
I'd love to see a crisp print of this film. It's such a wonderful story. And the best scene of all in my opinion is the separation of the two boys as one journeys to London and one goes off to sea, neither to ever see each other again.
Really great movie. Never seen that one before.
Thank you for posting this great film.
people always mention how beautiful etc power was but his incredible acting skills far exceeded his beauty to a degree that this viewer that his face became secondary
Classic gem from the era when they knew how to make movies, not the recycled dreck of these days. I'm glad this one was uploaded.
What a wonderful Movie. I was not expecting to cry!
Wonderful. sadly, people are not this true and honest anymore these days. Thanks so much for sending us back to a time when people really cared for one another. Enjoyed it! :)
You do understand this is a movie ? Rite ? People have always been self centered , hateful, mean & wicked.. always..
@@mikekennedy5470 well, lets say you got a bit of everything in there 😉 and not a lot are born that way
This is certainly one of the finest classic films made! And the acting is wonderful, and, believable! The scene when Horatio and Jonathan part is enough to make anyone reach for the kleenex,,,, again,,, and,,,, again!!!! Thanks so very much for these films, and thanks for the heart lift!!!
This is an excellent video and I'm greatful for the opportunity to watch it. Thanks to everyone and everything that came together to make this possible!! :-)
Top notch movie--TY
Cried at the end.... wonderful movie...thank you!
A very young Tyrone Power.. wow!
What a great role for Tyrone power!!. Although, he was very young (22 years of age at the time) but showed an uprising star. I love his voice. Thanks for uploading.
Great movie!!! thank you for sharing this with us!
I almost wish men still dressed like this. So elegant.
Wouldn't you wish he had the money like them so you can afford to dress like them? Lol
You can find them, all you need to do is put out a want ad like I do - Wanted, woman to dress up in 18th century English finery for a weekend of fun and drunken debauchery, costumes provided. You will advert for a good looking man though of course.
Handmade clothes were ITCHY.
Linda Terrell cost a pretty penny to be pretty!
What a great film I've seen now! Thank you for uplorading this wonderful piece my dear!
I love this movie. I’ve been watching all the black and white movie classics since I was 10 years old. Errol Flynn is also one of my favorites actor including Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Bogart I also love and the list goes on. Thanks for sharing.
A WONDERFUL FILM, thanks for posting. yrs cj.
