Marion Scott, honorably discharged WW II soldier, in "civies" and carrying a suitcase containing his uniform and medals, is hitch-hiking to the small hometown of a buddy killed overseas, intending to make it his home. En-route, he encounters wealthy society girl Wilhelmina Hammond, who is running away from her stuffed-shirt fiancée, Alvin Bailey and has taken his car without permission. Marion and Wilhelmina are bickering over a blow-out and an empty gas tank when the local cops appear and haul them off to jail on a car-theft charge. Wilhelmina establishes her identity and is released and, intrigued by Marion whom she suspects is a deserter, arranges his release also. She takes him to the Hammond estate and tells Marion, who does not know her true identity, she is Mrs. Hammond's secretary. Wilhelmina has no keys to the home and they are arrested again when they are caught crawling into the house through a window. This time reporters and photographers discover her identity and plaster the papers with a story of an heiress running out on her rich fiancée to take up with an unknown stranger. Over the objections of the Hammond caretaker, Wiggins, she hires Marion as a chauffeur and stands her ground when her irate mother and angry fiancée rush home from New York with their entourage, including: Aunt Harriet, an old maid who had an unfortunate love affair during WW I; Patricia, "Willie's" young and mischievous sister; Camille, the family dressmaker, and Champ, Alvin's physical instructor. It becomes a battle of wills as Mrs. Hammond and Alvin are determined to break up a romance that doesn't exist, as "Willie" and Marion are constantly bickering, and Aunt Harriet who is all for the pair getting together.

Thank you for the upload.... also for not bombarding us with disruptive ad's throughout the movie....(like channel Pizza Flix does).... I just subscribed...👍 love your playlists as well...💙 These movies are timeless treasurs... I have been binge watching...
I love these ole movies, thank you!
@@Curious-Irish-Angel the ads pay them, they don't bother me at all. I'm happy they can make something for doing this for us.

"Slide over, I'll drive," means an old-school, full-length seat, which I wish was still an option.
@Dr Evil Yes, Really.
used to be you could drive with one hand on the wheel and the other, , , it made cruising very special.
Yes, weren't they great?
Bench seat
Me too. I hate the crappy seats forced upon consumers . The PC "Save the Whales" EPA bureaucrats are like Stalinists.
Delightful! When you watch something as fun as this, it becomes disgustingly clear that "Hollywood" is over.
Don’t forget music and journalism
Hollywood went it's own way once the production codes were lifted
Hollywood is only now about the glorification of paedophiles and perverts
Great movie...loved it!! No obscene or curse words!! Funny...light...entertaining! Love the vintage old cars!! No nudity or filth..just pure entertainment!!
And no annoying laugh track
I love the old, huge, metal cars.
I must have watched this 6 or 7 times already and I find something new in it to laugh about , it's just a great play. Real wit and humor is definitely missing from the entertainment today.
1:09:08 Priceless!
Nowadays I always watch this type movies because I feel so happy because no hart beating no harm no vulgar
you said it all
...."well, he's not bad, considering how empty the roads are" - what a great line delivered by the precocious lil' sister Patricia @ 39:15. Wonderful dialogue and story, I've watched this movie 3X now and I'm sure there are a few more go-rounds yet to come. Thanks for the upload 💖 🇨🇦
Little Patricia stole almost every scene she was in. Great job.
One of Christy Cabanne's last films. Nice to see Dave O'Brien starring in a feature. I enjoy his funny work in shorts. Thanks for posting these old films.
Thank you for that... Had no idea
compared to the trash called movies of today, this is great
William Bake
compared to the trash of some so called movies of yesterday, this is good enough.
You better believe it!
Speaking of trash, he just chucks the empty bottle onto the roadside
@@johnstatser7088 To what movies of 'yesterday' that were 'trash' are you referring?
Urban renewal destroyed catholic political power. The Cia destroyed all foreign democracy.
This film really makes you think of how life used to be in simpler times. I would love to just spend an entire day in the world like this one when time used to be. 🙂
That is what the Kingdom of God will be like for all eternity. Do you have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Big 10/4 on that one! Cindy
@@susansackrison3139 Religion is the root of all evil, and the cause of almost all wars. The birth of Christ is a fairy tale and Christianity is all based on a myth.
@@pandaman8946 Tell it to Satan when you get tossed in with him. Idiots that believe nothing will believe anything.
@@NemoBlank I respect your beliefs but the fact is religion is all one big cartoon designed by man to control them. Satan is no more real than the other myths created by all religions. Know this, I am not without beliefs. In fact, I believe there once was a guy known as Jesus Christ whose teachings were mostly quite wonderful. But today’s so called Christians have warped those teachings and they say things like President Joseph Biden is the devil when in actuality it’s their leader Trump who behaves like what a devil may behave, and they follow this evil man in the name of Christ. Now, imagine all the people living life in peace. As long as there is organized religion peace will never be possible on planet Earth.
I enjoyed this comedy very much. The conversation was delightful. Many thanks.
Cute. The dialog is lively and the players pull it off crisply and gamely. Lots of familiar actors. Thanks.
Hoo-rah!!!
Surprisingly bright and funny film! The first 35 minutes are the best as leads Dave O'Brien and Kay Aldridge banter their way to the middle of the film. Things slow up a bit when they are not both ion screen together, but a band of Hollywood characters pick up some of the slack.
This film is listed as a "comedy/drama" above, but the only drama is comedic. The story is very light. Lots of bounce as they continue their road trip.
Worth watching!
She's gorgeous.
David O'Brien was the star of "Reefer Madness". One puff of the "hell weed" and he turned into a homicidal maniac!
Orsen Welles Oh, good grief, I wish I had known. I will stop immediately if not sooner. Hey, a good one, Mr. W. (loved ya in Citizen Kane). Cheers.
"it's not worth it, just to feel dizzy."
"Columbia the Gem of the Ocean" never sung anymore and hardly anyone alive remembers it. It's the best.
Some of us remember!!!!
Hummed in "Made for Each Other."
I still find it a little ego bruising that she didn't make up her mind till he showed up with an entire brass band and a hero's parade and the mayor's blessing before she decided she was willing to take the chance.
I'm doing that right now
@@rodqueen2910 Choosing whom to marry? yikes! good luck!
In the beginning of the flick was charming and witty... Over all I love it. Thanks for the upload... Cant go wrong with black and white classical movie...TY, once again.
Great movie! The comedy is not dated. Thanks for the upload :D
A kleptomaniac with good taste - love it. Thank you for this upload, haven't laughed so much in yonks. Movies of the 30s and 40s were great especially if they featured Rosalind Russell, whose machine-gun delivery still amazes me. Cheers.
I have watched many vintage movies and this is the first time I saw an old movie saying "you moron"!
What a wonderful movie!
Life was so simple then, in so many ways.
Yes, I agree from current perspective but back then we didnt think so
Every era has it's challenges. You don't have the luxury of hindsight. 😌
How many? I need a number.
@@charlesboling9234 We none of us really appreciate what we have. That’s where all the adages come from like “you don’t miss the water till the well runs dry“ or “too soon old and too late smart“.
Right. You knew who you were and where you were going (more of less!).
"No matter how hard that stuff is to get, it ain't worth it just to feel dizzy."
I've seen Dave O'Brien in "shorts" many times as a boy growing up in the 1950s. Kay Aldridge in a few movies and the character actors in this film in dozens, maybe hundreds of times. The plot is "corny" and predictable, vapid in fact, but it slides along with good dialogue tidbits here and there.The production values are well done with exception of the alleged night shots , an achingly familiar, "fx" technique ( shot in broad daylight with a small black filter over the lens) suffered by viewers for decades. Nearing eight decades now, I seek out these old movies to see the women, as I saw my mother, the cars, the men's personas as i saw my father and for the nostalgia an old man feels. Thanks for posting this film.
Great comment, you nailed it Sir! I too enjoy the reminiscence 🙂
very entertaining. somebody should come along and restore this film.
I loved all those wonderful character actors. So wonderful to enjoy them again!. Thanks!❤️
Excellent movie for veterans day God bless all our past and present armed forces
The thing about some of these poverty row B-pictures is many of them are pretty good, oh they need a couple of script re-writes but they are quite entertaining, and most of them are public domain and never air on TCM which ought to focus on some of them. Dave O'Brien who we all remember from Reefer Madness and the Pete Smith shorts is quite good here as the male romantic lead. I have a new appreciation for him now as an actor. Kay Aldridge was the most photographed woman in the 30's, and was under contract to 20th. She retired in 1945 and passed away in 1977, a Google search will bring up a lot about her. Interesting later life she had in Maine. Smith Ballew was a well known big band leader in the 30's as well as an actor. Vivian Oakland who appeared with Laurel and Hardy is in the film as is the great Walter Catlett. I had fun with this film thanks to public domain, CZcams and people who collect and post them. Otherwise they would remain buried and lost.
D Raff O'Brien also acted in many East Side Kids films.
D Raff we don't even get TCM in Australia any more, and when we did the list of movies was so short we saw the same shows repeated every month. Thank goodness for these on you tube
D Raff...."poverty row".... those B-pictures of the 40s are now AAA+ films if compared to the present day trash produced in Hollywood....the talent should always be superior to the cash profit. In the last 30 years there are very-very few good movies. Hollywood might indoctrinate and try to make people think the recent crap is good....but any of us with half a brain know better. Hollywood tries to convince you a movie is great by its' profits....there are a lot of big money makers out there that are horrible movies. Hard to explain to anyone that never experienced life in the 40s-60s.
@ D Raff @ Nancy Clark - Agreed! One reason we held onto cable TV was for TCM. We finally dropped cable 2 years ago, and we really haven't missed it. TCM has switched its focus to market more towards the under-50 crowd, so these great B-pics and even some great A-films from the '30s and '40s are being ignored, while some of the more mundane '60s and '70s films are receiving more airtime. Preserving these vintage films doesn't mean simply restoring them and locking them in a safe, but showing them so that more and more people will remember and want to return to them. So thankful for CZcamsrs who share these public domain films!
D Raff Love trivia, thanks for sharing. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV January 01, 2019
Corny but fun.....I could live in a movie like this.
Thank you for playing this movie. Very clean and cute. So much better than what they are producing these days.
Great movie, enjoyed it very much, thanks for sharing! !!!
Only in the movies, Life really isn’t so easy when you walk alone, cute story….
It is a corny yet pleasant movie. The little girl Patricia played a great part. Thanks for posting.
Kay Aldridge is given some great lines- flipping between warm and alluring then cold and remote. What a bombshell! A very enjoyable film!
Enjoyed the movie. Hero was tops!
Agree. One of those actresses that look like they're having a good time making the movie.
Karl Hajos was nominated for an Oscar for musical scoring for this movie.
I saw this months ago but it's so cute I'm seeing if again. Ya gotta love their names, willie and marion.
Fun movie. I was born in 1953 and not familiar with the names of any of the actors. I see it was made in 1945 the last year of World War Two. I counted back to how old my mom and dad were when this movie was made. My Mom was starting high school and my Dad was in the Army Air Corps.
1951...old man in the navy... Mom in high school... Like you...
I'm sure you miss them.... I sure do
interesting war era film and perspective about the war. decent acting and writing. well worth seeing and good introduction to O'Brien and Scott who are not particularly well known now.
Nice feel-good patriotic movie. Thanks TCM

Thank-You for uploading this film, I’m looking forward to watching it for the first-time!
😄🙌
BTW: Don’t know if Others feel this way, but I find such detailed-descriptions of films to be ‘spoilers’; I’d much rather know only the general story - finding blow-by-blow narratives of the the entire story to be off-putting and frustrating.
Thanks!!
Just a swell movie and funny too ! 👏🏾 Thanks Timeless 🤗 🙋🏽
I need a good laugh. I haven’t laughed for a year. Life has never been so stressful. COVID is killing us in many ways.
Maybe just don’t participate in the coved.
@Sam Ling Give us a break.
It's done wonders for China's economy.
Lol, "CATCH her Alvin!"... Yup, an Oldie & a GOODIE!
Put it in park and set the hand brake. Had she done that, this movie would have lasted 1 minute.
Great movie. I wish we treated all our vets with parades.
Charming, simply charming!
A lot of famous character actors in this movie.
Good movie. Thank you for uploading.
Did you see that Letter Bug just throw that bottle down right on the ground after he poured the gas in
I couldn't believe he did that most bottles would have a deposit on it.
wonderful movie.. thanks for sharing.. the fun..
Good movie i enjoyed very much thank you TCM.
pretty good movie, thanks for the upload.
Great movie...thank you!!
Happy Easter!!!
Alvin speaks just like Randolph Scott.
These feel good movies help you get a better perspective on life.
Surprised there is no scene with the family of his dead army buddy. I guess that would put too much drama into this comedy.
1066 Wiliam the Conqueror Battle of Hastings I remember it well..
Ah yes, they were trying to remember the license plate number.
So what does the mother call her young daughter at the end of the movie cause it was cut out. I enjoyed the movie except for a few cut outs here n' there.
Bitch!
She called her a brat.
❤ I love these type of movies. I almost never watch a movie made after 1965, except later John Wayne movies.❤
A snappy patter and confused Identity special. Good stuff, Maynard! Fun movie too. 👍👍😎
Elmo Lincoln, the man that plays the turnkey, is the first to have played a movie role of Tarzan, in “Tarzan of the Apes,” 1918.
The acting is a bit stiff, but it's unusual in capturing the commonsense humour of its time. That no Big Names star in it, is a plus for me. That it doesn't follow Hollywood's dominant marketing scheme, makes it better, funnier, truer to the times it was made.
Got woken in mid night;(
This came in handy;) ...thanx♡
Thanks,enjoyed the movie for a Friday night
Wow! Loved it. I sure laughed a lot. Wonderful comedy.
Such fun... thanks for sharing
Well, they don't make 'em like that anymore!
Very enjoyable!
Enjoyable movie,,,,can you get
Mr.blandings builds his dream house
Delightful time machine to take me back to a better time.
Love the timeless classic time frame.
l love trying to figure out who are the stand out actresses / actors are in their stories roles. [ Parts/ ...role ]
My life is in the right place mindfully enough with present & past relaxed deeply into a much more simpler concentration level viewing the thoughts eased back positively much more engaging to go at relaxing over the everyday ruun through's life brings out of us.
l love the lady's story lines and the appeal that resonates off the stage reality, it's a perfect blend of harmony , the standing music Picess arranged fills the airaround the space it fills .
Tank You staying right there in the film's grove thanks & happy

My female neighbor just called me because her Jeep rolled off the jack when she went to install the spare. How is it, having never seen this movie, it would open with a lady having problems with a car rolling off a jack? How? So bizarre...
In other news, I remember those buggers. Highly dangerous if the vehicle isn't level and chock blocks aren't used. A friend of mine still has one, but unfortunately, no cool old car to use it on.
Have you ever seen Christmas Holiday? great movie. Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly. Its a much darker character he plays. Compared to what i see him do usually. Boy that Deanna Durbin shes something i think.
Love the timeless classic time frame.

Thanks

The man who walked alone is a litter bug...
Loved it!
She retired in the year of this film !..With those looks at the prime of her life ?
Unlike in this movie she married the wealthy tycoon who didn't want her to keep acting. What a shame!
Absolutely a gem.
Kay Aldridge was very alluring in this.
1st time Visit and I subscribed instantly! I love Classic movies. Thank you 🙏. Or crow bait. Lol 😂
Very enjoyable movie to watch. Thank you.
This was the best Shakespearean adaptation of Comedy of Errors. (never judge a book by its cover and title) Thank you for the uphold. My husband and I had a million laughs.
I loved it, love those old happy endings.
Marion was the actual name of 'John Wayne'.
The credits at the end give Scott the rank of Private. Yet his fellow actors and his uniform say he's a Corporal. Typo !! in the credits.
Yep!
and this is how the baby boom got started
Wonderful!!!😍❤🙏😷❤
Wonderful!
Great movie 👍
Dave O'Brien who played the soldier also played the Nitwit in MGM short subject pictures as Pete Smith.
He sure went through a lot of crazy things as Pete Smith-- what a great stuntman!! I always wondered what his voice would sound like if I ever heard it. To my ear, he had a pleasant one!
I downloaded this Thank you
Thank for showing! ❤️🙌🏻👍
Oh Boy! What a movie ! Thanks a lot !
A Great Movie Indeed!
Good movie
So what does the lady call the little girl at the end of the film? It looks like it was cut out. Curious!
Bitch! Read her lips. Censors were no one to play around with back then. They could shut a movie down in a heartbeat! Lost revenue $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
She called her a brat
Cute film. "Corny," but I laughed out loud. Thank you!
"Not me, I'm essential."
I caught that line too. It's been a big thing during this pandemic that we're going through brings a whole new meaning to who is essential.
