Stella By Starlight: Sinatra and hollywood divas

[atapiarojasadrian]

I'm only a human, sinatra was a god

[utubebemytube]

By far, the finest video I have seen, it takes me back to a classier age in America. Thank you for the song and the clips, and thanks for the memories.

[rockybrazil1]

Loved this clip! All the films I saw, many years ago, I recognized all of them and listening Stella by Starlight. Rockybrazil1

One of Frank's former wives the most beautiful lady to ever grace the silver screen Ava Gardner.

[chram]

So lovely. Very well done and it brought tears to my eyes.

[pepeluzla]

Me parece una verdadera maravilla la poética desarrollada en el montaje. No es perfecta, pero se asoma. Un abrazo y besos al creador, o creadora, y eso... que lástima que no dure dos horas.

[joycemarie1212]

Simply majestical. THANK YOU!

[vonkavonka]

Really sweet. Stella by Starlight is one of my favorite songs! But I love Ella Fitzgeralds version. Wonderful video!

[twig259]

My mum heard this song in the hospital just after she had me - hence my name! Thank you Mr Frank Sinatra...such a beautiful song! Also, I love old Hollywood stuff, so - great video.

Beautiful tribute to all these great women of Classic Hollywood!

[chantanja20]

kann mir jemand helfen?ich möchte wissen wie der film in diesen video heißt meine mama sucht den schon seit jahre...ich will eine freude machen und ihr den film holen doch leider wiss ich den namen nicht....antwortet mir bitte danke chantanja20

[Arbogabo]

Welcher Film? Es gibt ja mehrere, wie jeder sehen kann!

[QUICKFOXTANGO]

I've searched long and hard for the song sung by a decent vocalist, and this is just so beautiful.

In 1951 I met my first love. I was sixteen and a half, she was 22. Her name? Yes, it was Stella. I loved her so deeply, but in those days such an age gap was too much for me. Wrote her a goodbye letter.

Young and foolish, that was me.

This song brings Stella back to me in my heart and mind. A lovely girl, made immortal by this great song.

[Charliebear65]

what a lovely memory thanks for sharing

[kurtsnyder]

This video brings tears to my eyes... oh, how I wish I could have lived in the 30's-50's. We will never see such a caliber of actors and talent.

[AsaCameron]

So true..

[joeasmythe]

So good, back in the days when Hollywood had real stars, nowadays I just about quit seeing movies because of the garbage they film. This is a real breath of fresh air, and I thank you.

[esca7902]

well the world is empty of ladies such as these and men than more than men were elegant gentlemen what a shame i miss some things and thanks for such a lovely video and great song by old blue eyes

[ticovaldezmd]

I dedicate this song to the memory of my father.

How he loved 'Stella By Starlight' so much.

He and his guitar.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, ALL  YOU GUYS !!

[DonCheechio]

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVISIMO !!

I get get goosebumps watching this. Be safe & thank you for posting.

[Politeama]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song, one of my all time favorites. Those clips that you chose are quite splendid, you have nice taste in music and movies. Those actors and actresses had personality, beauty, charisma, something to say, talent, so different of most of the garbage that we see today. Thank you, I do not watch tv anymore, I rather come here to YT and enjoy this.

[genia106]

Fabulous, Love the Song! Love all the scenes and I adore Monty! Merci.

[bluezensky]

hell yeah... great composition of music and video... more; history, life, hunger, romance, hope, desire, ... etc., ... etc., ...

[mickeyh1961]

A golden era never the like to be seen again, along with such wonderful Actors & Actresses We are the richer to have seen them on the big screen & TV & appreciate the magic that they brought into our hearts in a more innocent time, thanks for this glimpse into the past.

[UnfaithfulDude]

This marvellous song haunts me ever since I was a kid. I like the Ray Charles version better. It's highly emotional and a little spooky, especially if you watch where it was first played on a motion picture, The Uninvited(1944)which you can watch here on Youtube, with Gail Russell(who had an untimely death due to her alcohol addiction on account of her pathological shyness in front of a camera(she was always high during the takes). She was Stella in the movie. Such beautiful eyes!

[zeppelin2392]

franks incredible. check out lenny breau and brad terrys version, enough to make you cry..

[tangiers56]

Lovely....and may I say there will never be another Sinatra. Thanks. Jan

[safado24]

How wonderful to see so many clips from "A PLace in the Sun." I started to think that Monty Clift was one of the Hollywood divas!

[wthte]

Well, he is a great diva too! Lol.

[1944tarou]

I have no idea to pick various movies up!

Thanks a lot. Many beautiful movies and Sinatra's voice.

And... I love this melody - Stella By Starlight.

[ClassicLvr]

What a beautiful video! Thank you very much for sharing such a beautiful clip.  It has a beautiful music, beautiful scenes from movies and beautiful people. You definitely made my day!

[drsteerforth]

Thanks, I got a bit confused in my earlier message.

So it's Rita Hayworth with the anguished look and cigarette before Monty's disarming smile and Anne Baxter right after, then?

I never would have known, and I've nudged a few folks to view it, too.

Beautiful work, sir! Very nostalgic. Thanks again!

David

[drsteerforth]

Can anyone please tell me the name of the actress who appears after the series of eye shots? She appears with a cigarette, smoke and an anguished look.

She appears again right after Monty disarms you with his smile.

Thanks!

[wthte]

Is Rita Hayworth

[wthte]

The blonde girl with a cigarette is Rita Hayworth, in the movie "the lady from shanghai", directed by Orson Welles, her husband at that time. Look for the song "Please don´t kiss me", that she sings in this movie. She is stunning and the music is beautiful. But is not Rita that appears with Monty Clift. That another blond is Anne Baxter.

[drsteerforth]

That is said to have been one of Rita's finest acting efforts,; I picked up genuine anguish from her in the clip I asked you about.

Unfortunately, the film didn't go over too well, and I think I know why after watching several clips of the film on YouTube.

Orson's talents and skills were enormous - but didn't extend to immitating an Irish accent.

Great acting and a terrific story - but Welles' accent was too corny.

[drsteerforth]

Your editing is beautiful; this brings tears to my eyes.

Thanks very much! You have a very definite eye for areté.

[nexttimewelove51]

This is beautiful music. Sinatra was wonderful. I love Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly. They were great together in Rear Window.

[ticovaldezmd]

My heart and I agree...

she's everything on earth to me.

[sunnybrett]

Thank you for this clip wthte. SO lovely and romantic.

[allieree]

Pure class. What beautiful ladies! I especially like the addition of the male stars--they are also truly gorgeous! Monty Clift is my favorite. His face and smile are so beautiful. Thanks .

[briangh1]

What a wonderful addition! The song is lovely and your choice of video clips is perfect. You've had me smiling here.

[Politeama]

Beautiful ladies and a great song. Perfect! No more like those ladies. The ones that we have in Hollywood now are tattooed and do not know a word about glamour. But the ones that you showed in your clips, those are ravishing! Thank you!

[obclem]

How absolutely wonderful. Thanks for your video.

[youyong28]

I was looking for this song and unable to find a pop version. How lucky I was to find Frank Sinatra with clips of the most beautiful movies of the 1930's and 1940's. Thanks!

[pierrino27]

Man, you must own quite a huge amount of dvds ! Your videos are gorgeous ! You're so full of talent with your sense of editing !

Keep on going and thanks for all this beauty in a cruel world !

[GorgeousMonty]

Lovely video!

[sneyder69]

[et7waage]

Lovely! Lovely! Lovely!
