They were magical on screen. Margaret should have married a down to earth guy like James Stewart. Maybe then her life would not have turned out like it did.

[LadyViolet7]

@wtmj100 That's exactly what I think! After they've had that short affair in the early 30s, they became lifelong friends and Jimmy never really got over her. But I just don't understand why she didn't marry him?! Why not even try? Many people who knew both of them said that she loved him too, so why on earth didn't it work out?

Jimmy's wife Gloria had her own answer to this: 'Jim was madly in love with Margaret Sullavan and she was with him. But she was more in love with her career.'

[wtmj100]

@LadyViolet7 That sounds about right. I've read a few books about her and although she comes off as demure, she was a bit of a hell-raiser in her youth(dating bad boys, dropping men left and right etc.) James Stewart on the other hand was always stable--Margaret really missed the boat on that one.

@LadyViolet7 How do you know that they really had an affair?

[LadyViolet7]

@kaja19 Stewart's wife Gloria and Joshua Logan, a close friend of both James and Margaret, said that they had an affair when they met at Princeton in the early 1930s (1930/31) when Margaret was in a play named "The Artist and the Lady" and James Stewart was the stage manager of that play...

[LadyViolet7]

@kaja19 Logan further said:'When they first met, they did have an affair. And it was a passionate one. But their love affair was short-lived because a Broadway producer came to see the show at Princeton, and a few weeks later, Margaret was making her debut on Broadway. Jimmy said to me, "I'll never find another girl like her." I said, "Cheer up, Jim. Why don't you become an actor and you'll be bound to run into her again?" I got the impression that he didn't shrug off that idea.'

[kaja19]

@LadyViolet7 that is so sad... Thanks for your answer

[eveningsinbloom]

Wonderful tribute!!

[kabelcar1000]

i adore jimmy stewart :) he's always such a hero in his movies

[MrsPresleyLennonFrey]

I'm just so jealous right now, because Margaret got to kiss and hug Jimmy so many times!!!

;-)

A beautiful video, LadyViolet7. I am yet to see a complete film featuring Jimmy and Maggie, as Jimmy films are hard to come by locally. I'd never heard Vera Lynn's version of "It Had To Be You" before, but it's lovely.

James Stewart is one of the handsomest men to grace our screens.

Thanks for sharing your work with us!

[dotesperfection]

I've only ever seen the shop around the corner..this makes me want to see their other film. They look so cute together!

[deketelaere]

Very beautiful tribute for two great legends of Hollywood! One should more often re-examine all these beautiful film. My preferred film is" it's a wonderful life " but I like too " The shop around the corner"!

Thanks for sharing.

[LadyViolet7]

How nice of you, Karolyn! I really appreciate it!

[bigred997]

years ago when AMC was still a decent station they showed The Mortal Storm,. I'd like to see it again.

[MissBetteDavisFan09]

This is so beautiful. I love Vera's version of the song, I never heard her sing it before. Margaret was so lovely and James was devishly handsome.

[LadyViolet7]

They were a perfect couple, weren't they?! Thank you so much for your comment!

[4262009AP]

This is such a beautiful tribute to the relationship that James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan shared. The song is wonderful too, I've never heard Vera Lynn's version of it before until now.

[LadyViolet7]

Thank you for the compliment! I thought it was long overdue to pay them tribute here on youtube. I didn't know the Vera Lynn version myself until youtube forced me to replace the Frank Sinatra version. But I like it very much!

[SatineCharm]

This is so romantic! ;)

[27lavanda]

Hey, this is awesome!! Very romantic.. You did a great job Corinna!!

[LadyViolet7]

Thank you very much, Monika! I value your opinion!

[bubblewrap1988]

Aw that was so great! :) They are one of my favorite screen teams!

[LadyViolet7]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
