Timeless Classic Movies bhhhhjgy
I really appreciate the sound level. It was so loud I actually had to turn my speakers down. That's a first! TY
Absolutely fabulous underrated film : authentic , amazing acting and tremendous romantic chemistry between 2 pros : Conrad Veidt , and Vivien Leigh .,
Nice when true love grows- slowly but nice. Vivian Leigh was a beautiful woman and so talented. A 5 star movie. ( No a cuss word- unlike now.)
First time to see this movie; such a fan of Vivian Leigh. She looked stunning here. And, true to every film I have seen of hers: she never gets the man. Thanks so much for sharing this little known gem.
Good story and performances. At the end of the movie, the wind noise on board the ship was very loud and made it difficult to know exactly what was transpiring with the actors, but I suppose that might be expected with 1936 sound technology. I grew up watching the OLD "classics" (1930s to 1950s). Watching this one, which was "new" to me, really took me back. Thanks for posting.😊👍❤
Lousy print, lousy transfer, lousy sound. Sadly, this is probably as good as it will ever get. 😢
This is my first time watching DARK JOURNEY (1937) and I love it forever.
She made the film--a beauty and a true actress.
I hope that somewhere there is a perfect print of this marvelous film. Everything with Vivian Leigh deserves a perfect print, and it would be a tragedy to loose Conrad Veidt's performance. An amazing moment when Veidt is slapped. Note his rage, almost a hark back to his silent film days, very melodramatic overacting, But then his instant recovery as a polished actor. An amazing, difficult and superbly done transition. The dialogue especially at the beginning, is witty, sophisticated, biting ,and wonderfully written and performed. There is some excellently done foreshadowing in the film which is not at all evident when it happens, and that is as it should be. It is masterfully accomplished this film. On the downside, the montage sections are hard to follow because the print is so imperfect, but they look worthwhile if they could be seen better.Altogether it's a great espionage film. Vivian Leigh...the best of the best is stunning throughout, not just her beauty, but her shining intelligence, and her ability as an actor.
A great film, acting was excellent. Especially Vivien Leigh, impish and beautiful simultaneously. Hard to follow story at first but once it became clear exciting plot. If this had been a stage play I don't know how the ship scenes would happen. Thx for posting.
I love Mata Hari movies, and this one is pretty good, although my favorite is Von Sternberg's Dishonored with Marlene Dietrich (and a horribly miscast Victor McLaglen). Vivian Leigh is terrific and well matched with Conrad Veidt. Dark and fine boned Vivian Leigh was compellingly beautiful.
Good to see Conrad Veidt and of course Vivian Leigh who was amazing
Excellent Movie! My first time seeing it!! Wasnt disappointed. Vivian Leigh. A talented actress with Such Beauty!! Thanks for this upload!!🎞📽♥️💖🥰
Such a underrated film with outstanding acting , clever dialogue , sexual chemistry between the 2 protagonists and beautiful music
As a girl in the late 80's, I had to order this on VHS all the way from the UK and it cost me a months wages...well worth it!
I never get tired of watching this movie!
VIVIAN LEIGH MADE THIS MOVIE THE YEAR I WAS BORN AND SHE WAS 24, WHERE DO THE YEARS GO ??? LOVELY TO SEE A LADY ACTRESS INSTEAD OF SO MANY OF TODAY'S BIMBOS WHO BED HOP AND ARE ONTO DRUGS AND DRINK. THANK GOD FOR OLD MOVIES.
Despite living in a more traditional, modest, conventional & respectful era, the TRUTH is that the beautiful, talented, classy, actress Vivian Leigh, TOO, seriously struggled with chronic alcoholism, deep depression, she committed infidelity, got divorced, etc, IIRC, it was pretty rough, she suffered a lot & was, in REALITY, far from idealistically perfect, just like everybody else.There are some good fact-based biography/history channel type-videos about Leigh's life & career here on CZcams, if you haven't already seen any. Vivian Leigh was complicated, like most people, and especially, artists, tend to be, yet, was still very wonderful, IMO, despite, or because, of IT ALL.
Dear Trixie, I hope you are still with us! I was just thinking how amazing it is that technology lets me enjoy a movie thats 92 years old and see a little piece of the life and times of the past. And that someone around from those times is also watching, enjoying, and commenting just makes my night.
I agree, you cant watch vivian leighs kissing scene in this one without thinking what a sexy lady she was, and yet she tempers it with such elegance and dignity... really shows you what being a lady used to mean. Not many would meet this high bar today!
Wow Trixie! 😃 I'm just so impressed that you were using the internet at age 87! I hope you're still with us, doing well and still enjoying these movies that we all love so much! 🙏💞 God bless you
@@d.dedrick7991Yes, everyone has a human side no matter what our professions
Enjoyed this, particularly seeing Vivien Leigh.
Thank you for posting!!
this was a really good movie. thank you for the upload..
Her voice is what I think is so wonderful! She was a great beauty but the voice. She had a sad ending in life. If they could have turned the wind sound down a bit at the end it would have been easier to hear the dialog. Particularly since the howling wind didn't seem to show itself with Any of the hats blowing off. At that rate of gale there would Not have been a hat left on anyone's head! LOL
Vivien Leigh was well-known to British audiences by 1937; in her early 20's, she'd made this, "Storm in a Teacup" and a couple of other films there, which had some release in America prior to her signing with David O. Selznick at the last minute for a little film called "Gone With The Wind".
vivian leigh...what a beauty.
Very good movie 🎥 there should be more like this one 😊Thankyou especially the lady who played in Gone with the wind. 👍
11 years late to this picture show. It got better after the players ere sorted out. Outstanding film, cast, direction, score, and story First viewing for me. Turn AI technology loose on this one. Definitely worthy of restoration. Thank you.
Robert Newton was the inspecting officer from the submarine...must have been one of his earliest screen appearances.
A little tough to follow for me in the beginning. Perhaps the language of old and variety of accents. Once I "got it", I got it and enjoyed this film very much. Thank you for the upload. Good story line well done. The Era had me confused a bit too. No worries.....
...but why did you cut the "i'll be waiting" line at the very end? It's literally my favorite moment in the whole film!
Here...this version looks to be better quality...and complete...

I didn't read the description; I just began watching the movie and was surprised to see Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara)! So, so pretty...
A must watch 5 Star movie! I've seen it several times. Always excellent!
I thought it was clever hiding codes in high fashion, makes me wonder if this system was actually used.
+NouCoo ... It would be convenient then as it would be today. Only today there are computers and they could hand out assignments for agents but, it would be a small group. There is a movie called , The Numbers Station, which is a small~times operation that compares a lot to this movie. It's not a great movie, but I enjoyed it. I LOVE Clever people and ideas.
NouCoo k
We used carrier pigeons for messaging in ww2, then had to up them when the nazis used falcons to intercept them. The native Americans also spoke across the lines delivering messages, using different tribal languages during different times helped keep the enemy confused.
Great film. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the upload. It's a good movie, but the sound and picture quality are so bad that it's a strain to see and hear.
The translations are a hoot!
"He doesn't care how he spends his money." "One has only look at madam to see that."
old
Very good film, thanks
That was very enjoyable!
Leigh is/was one of the rare true beauties.
You are unique as well.
I tell you, Downton Abbey had ruined my ability to suspend reality while watching some old movies. When I first started watching this I thought it was a WWII movie because of the clothes, which don't even REMOTELY look like anything that would have been worn during WWI! :D
Yes...the Clothing and hair styles were off....but still a pretty good watch !
+slou61 Entirely agreed, but when they're such gorgeous confections, I really can't bring myself to complain. Frocks and gowns of the 30s were the most gorgeous -- and with such variety -- of any era, imo.
Yea, it looks like 1937, not like WW1 era. It might have been that producers went contemporary to get viewers in seats. Teenagers and young adults then wouldn't have known authentic styles.

A very good movie, it would have been nice if the optical clarity was a little sharper at points. But thank you for sharing.
IT'S AMAZING THAT THIS FILM &, THE FILM TITLED (( THE HOUSE ON 92TH STREET )) ARE BOTH ABOUT FEMALE GERMAN AGENTS &, BOTH OWN A BEAUTIFUL DRESS SELLING BUSINESS AS A FRONT .
This is an excellent movie.
exquisite beauty and that sly smile.
I would love to watch commentary on this
❗I love the Korda's films ! Great and emblematic of an era. I think its Alexander and Victor Korda, look them up, watch, well worth it ! Real treats.
She was certainly a beauty!
Vivien!
Fantastic film .
Added bonus we see the lifestyle of the era.
Very cool movie and it was before WWII so kind of gave a good history of French and Belgian whatever those countries were all up there... Before France got annihilator by Germany.. and Poland....
excellent
Very good movie.
Which part of the movie is Percy's whistle sound heard?
I DO RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO !!!
👍
I downloaded this
what do you mean? why is your name so moronic? I guess I am missing the cleverness or something....?
So the head of Section 8 murders her friends and co-workers and then she waves a cheery good bye to him at the end. Seems like something added by the film company. Hard to imagine the original story having that BS in it. Regardless, this is a very good film.
Vivian was only one of a handful of true Catholics in Hollywood that survived the Protestant/ Atheist onslaught against the Catholics JMJ
Bandit moon - Bette Davis was the star - start by looking up her movies!
Vivian Leigh, Hedy Lamar, and Joan Bennett, were my favorite Hollywood brunettes!
Agree w/ Bobby.
pretty good story but first thing I noticed too was that the film makers didn't do a very good job of trying to make it seem like WWI era - looks like 1937
+Steve D'Col Since when were they playing swing jazz in 1918 Sweden? Plus the women's evening clothes - totally anachronistic. Good catch.
+Steve Weinstein They assumed they could get away with playing the hits of the day like "Oh You Beautiful Doll" & "Whispering" at a fast foxtrot tempo. But they forgot the strict rhythm of ragtime during that era & swung the music too much.
awwwwwwwwwwww-- and did that spoli the film for you? BooHoo
oops spoil
Yea but the producers had to get viewers in the seats to make money. Teenagers and young adults in '37 wouldn't have known authentic WW1 styles and probably didn't care.
Malaysia tgh berperang lagi depa dah ada movie
So frustrating there are so many of these movies I want to get to and never do 😂
the Baron reminds me of Col. Klink.
dear,bandit moon,i think th actress was betty davis?this movie was on t.c.m..
Thx, but 240p?
Cecil Parker as the Captain of the British secret cruiser.
Feels like it was badly edited. I feel like I'm missing big chunks of exposition.
Acting is good, especially Conrad Veidt. Dialogue is witty in streches.
Overall a mixed bag. Best part of the movie is Conrad Veidt, and there are better Veidt vehicles.
Mathew Starr I just watched that movie but for the life can not tell you the title, sorry
Thanks, enjoyed this movie! RE: historical anachronisms in this movie: +Kevin Lyons2 months ago "Yea but the producers had to get viewers in the seats to make money. Teenagers and young adults in '37 wouldn't have known authentic WW1 styles and probably didn't care."
I disagree with this comment .... (oh we hold ourselves up to be so much more intelligent than those of past ages...)
I think that today we have much more trouble with "time" issues; even the "Iliad" mixes much older "oral" stories with Homer's current concerns, aims, warfare methods,morals, brains versus brawn issues, etcetc etc., believe me , his audiences "knew"; I think folks in the 1930s probably did care, had close relatives & photos of WWI, family stories & deaths. and all the while, hearing Hitler on the radio at that time & in the news, gearing up for another round, must have been eerie, so If movies & magazines & radio were the only forms of news & social issues & fashion & "media", how wonderful the movies must have seemed, informing while inspiring, mixing past & present in ways we "moderns" find bothersome, they wouldn't have. Also,I love the "time" fact that V. Leigh would shortly begin filming another great struggle, the American war between the states, whose set/costumes were less anachronistic, I suppose, is noteworthy... what a great actress!
In 1937 it had only been 20 years, and I doubt this was pitched at a teenaged audience!
This has overtones of Mata Hari from those that killed her...
Subtitles are very bad
clothes don't seem to match the period as I've seen it in newsreels.
Love the old B&Ws. Well done mystery. Made n '37 so world spies/espionage was going on. German dictator was working his plan. Who doesnt enjoy Vivien and her large expressive beautiful eyes.
Spy getting upset that her lover is faithless! Edit. About that internment for "the duration," rules were probably different for spies. Oh, well.
56:20 tension
Good one thanks
Read the comments...here is a gift for you all...
czcams.com/video/ngEK2106hU4/video.html
Better quality...AND 3 and a half minutes LONGER!! (The end isn't cut off...you get to hear her final "goodbye"...)
And another thing...this movie is NOT set in pre-WWII...this is pre-WWI...you can tell by the costumes, the ships, the parties, basically EVERYTHING in the movie...
This is a very good piece of cinema...ENJOY!!
Thank you @pedrovision6987 for the link. The clarity of focus is so much easier on the eyes and the dialogue is understandable.
Conrad Veidt was so very handsome and charming. He was witty with sexual chemistry.
How could she have loved him-- ye gads!
You have to admit that there is some resemblance between Conrad and Laurence...perhaps...lol
+Mia Dallen That is quite a shallow remark. You must be a baby.to say ye gads ... anyway there is still hope for you.
? I say ye gads AND I am NOT young or a baby. glad to hear there are judges of shallow out there... wow.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but this is when women were allowed to have meat on their bones and considered attractive. Who knew that 30 yrs. later beautiful women would have to look like waifs
Good ladies haven't you noticed?
I must have missed something.
Can’t watch bad quality video
COLOUR
Conrad die so young☹

👀
This is horribly chopped up.
Much like my life.
WW1 wearing 30's fashion smh
.....another old HOLLYWORST film and the same people comment to make it to try to sound great.
Great film so far, but I had to take a break from my “dark” laughter to comment on just how the "girl" laughter starting at
minute 16 and thereafter sounds just like a brood of chickens frequently disrupted by someone stomping about in their midst. It might be the age of the sound recording further denigrated by transfer to video, but I wonder if it was
then intentional. "Gurlz" back then were so very fungible en masse and marginalized and rendered shallower than tide pools. And in the presence of a "Baron" from Germany? Absolutely fawning for attention, I guess because in real life, their very survival from meal to meal depended upon the crumbs swept from the tables of the privileged wealthy white males who still dominate the .01%...
+Thomas Goldfinch (WHEN will CZcams CORRECT this friggin' annoying GLITCH that often prevents a comment from being posted in its entirety? Anytime during this 21st century? Herein follows the completion of my previously attempted FULL comment): ...controlled 2016 American "society" ranks! My oh my, how far we’ve NOT come since the early 20th century!
I will have to go back & see what the heck you are talking about...is it anything like the girls at Beatles' concerts, you mean that kind of thing? I thought it was just emphasizing his adoration as an available bachelor, man-of-the-world, exotic, handsome (in that era) , oh, did I mention, rich? in an age of patriarchal gotta be born to it, or marry it, that's your choices, no chance of obtaining it as an independent, striving, woman. h-m-m-m another anachronism in this movie but we shouldn't let them distract us, I don't think...
Qboats were British
Can only understand about 5% of what they say. Make that 2%. I quit at 19:05. Very grating audio and "plot." (What plot? People pop up out of nowhere.) I unsubscribed.
ok. great
Sadly enough, I got so bored by minute 34 that I've given up watching the remaining minutes. Life is way too short to waste time on an ancient and boring film.
+Thomas Goldfinch So glad you bothered to tell us of your intellectual superiority/s.
Then don't watch it and move along.
Others are obviously enjoying it, including me.
The ancient movies are some of the best! Move on!
Not woke enough? I find the film to be timeless and engaging to the end
Long and painfully boring !!
your 86 years old congratulations
