My Knight in shining armor

[omarliu1963]

Classic movie! It just likes a real life,I was 18 yrs old when I watched this movie,Time past so fast.

on top of my wedding cake, if i get married at all, i always thought it'd be ideal for the cake toppers to be a bride wearing her gown and the groom as a knight in shining armour :)

Katherine Hepburn seemed be playing herself. She's so overrated.

[glenwoodfin]

Inner beauty!

[maggiesmithowlpost]

Kate... I miss you

[gwtwcarlos]

My grandparents were, for me, more than my parents- They gave me a LIFE, full of wonderful memories- They were..really special- and I believe in true love because of them- During 77 years they loved each other madly- When my grandmother saw this film..she told me: "they are just like us!!"- just like Norman and Ethel- I LOVE this film, and each time I see it..well, it,s like seeing, again, my grand-loving-parents.

Growing old. After having worked as a nursing assistant for s long in so many different nursing and retirement homes, I've realized how much of a hell it is for people to grow old. I don't know if it's worse for people now, since they live longer and then have the chance to become more sick and disabled, or if it's always been this way. Whatever the case may be, I feel like growing old has become something worse than what it was meant to be, but I don't have the solution for this.

i wish i could watch the whole movie somewhere. yes, what a fairy tale, a happy ever after, a wonderful dream.

[natentreyable]

Great clip thanks for posting!

"I don't like horses." = hilarious

Tomorrow night at the Strand Theatre in Clinton, Massachusetts. I can't wait to see it again on the big screen. 30 years later. =)

[DesperateHW]

My all time fav movie.

More like my fairy tale.

@DesperateHW

Same to me... I'm almost 60... it changed my life ...

[samsudinabubakar]

I was 17 when my friends and i watch this movie. They were girls and I the only boy around them. How could i forget the best movie i ever watched. Ever!!!

[ozfreak26]

Norman: "Whose at the door?" Ethel: "It's me you old poop!" :D

[Shubael1809]

There is but one "nationality" of people who can truly relate to this film on so many levels: Yankees. Oh how I love this film and the memories it elicits. Now Katharine Hepburn has a Boston accent .. not that dreadful think Mark Wahlberg. Mark had before he was retrained. "all those silly "STRAWBRYS" ... yessum!

[WeaponXXIV]

This is the best scene in the movie. Kate's delivery is haunting

[eisert4]

chills every time i watch this! hauntingly beautiful

[Pdon0B]

wonderful

[genjutsugaara]

it just a damn act

[swmell]

My favorite movie of all time. I've seen them all believe me.

[UFOSPACE1999]

Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda.....wrote this part...THEY didn't like the original part...In other words...THEY took over a lot of time....

[largefilipino]

And then they drive to town with a train of angry honkers behind them...

[ALE280290]

What a couple! What a film! =)

[vanilia8]

"Listen to me, mister. You're my knight in shining armor. Don't you forget it. You're going to get back on that horse, and I'm going to be right behind you, holding on tight, and away we're gonna go, go, go! "

[MissCheriPie]

amazing movie! and with all of the praise for the amazing cate hepburn on this thread, i just want to throw out some love to the also totally amazing henry fonda. he made the whole thing for me.

[vichy766]

This film is so valuable as a reminder of life's perspectives, that we all need each other, completely unmaterialistic with core human values, confident, understanding, delicate, love.

[KrabatMK]

I love this movie so much - it´s so amazing to see this true love!

Greetings from Germany! :-)

[uKooKu]

"I haven't the vaguest idea".... great line, great actress, great cast, great movie.

[mzlaqt]

That's lovely. 2 bad some of us will never know what true love is.

[Chrisko78]

One of my very favorites!!! So lovely... what a great luck!!!!

[gravelandgrain100]

It seems sappy in this day and age to say-"Love transcends all things-time, illness, death and everything material before us." I have seen this in my own life-like when one spouse dies the other is fruit withering on the vine, wanting to go just to be with their love.

Beautiful film, very simple and real.

[Anastasyna]

chissà....

[ArtySuzi]

Such a brilliant film but with a Dad with Dementia I know what it's like for Mum and Dad. Heartbreaking but heartfelt at the same time. Painful reality of old age..............

[hwkifan]

This makes me sob everytime I see it. For someone with aging parents this is so touching. This was a great movie, and Kate Hepburn is amaziing in it.

[endora721]

wow to greats... and i loved them both.. 80's movies where great!

[Fulk3000]

un bacio a entrambi, fantastici

[wordreet]

One of the best scenes from one of the best movies.

These two were perfect in this superb film. Always loved you Kate, always will.

:'¬)

[RosyAfterglow]

"I could feel safe...I was still me" and her saying "well, haven't got the faintest idea"...Poignant scenes...

[ClassicMovieClub]

Love this movie, Love this lady!

[DERedhead65]

Beautiful timeless movie, one of my Top Ten favs of all time, and two of my Most Fav actors, Kate and Henry, gotta love them, the Greats, miss them... also Jane Fonda's best work in my opinion; a great soundtrack as well... this is a film for the ages...

I want a LOVE like this, thought I had it once, but... you couldn't have said it any better sbb53199. Gotta love Norman and Ethel Thayer.

[sbb53199]

I do believe that it is everyones secret wish.....to just be able to grow old like Ethel and Norman, and still be so much in love with each other.............A wonderful film.....it will always be very very special.

thank you.

[DougHouda2]

@sbb53199 well said.



[tempusfugit68]

This movie along with A Trip To Bountiful are both bittersweet movies about the trials of being a senior citizen.

[RightWingDown]

negative; these two have built a beautiful life together. we all get old, given the chance. Wouldn't you give all of your Angels to have a friend like Charlie's had? The problem is that we don't all get that old.

[UFOSPACE1999]

....and also Katherine and Henry wrote this scene together, they hated the original part. Said it wasn't a comfort to them. So that morning before the shoot, they came up with all the dialogue.

[UFOSPACE1999]

Katherine never saw the film. She was pissed off at Mark Rydell for deleting the scene where she takes the canoe over her head and takes it down to the pond. When she heard that Rydell took it out, she was pissed off and shot off a letter to him for that move. AND also what seems between Henry and Kate aint so. She was kinda mad at him, Henry painted Kate, what kate thought was an original painting from Henry, turned out he made many copies!!! Kate was a painter herself.

[katydid26]

Thank you for posting this. On Golden Pond is one of my all-time favorite movies. What a wonderful, touching film. Beautiful to watch, beautiful to hear (the soundtrack), and beautifully acted.

[DavidYakima]

I have to agree with you there... I saw this in the theatre when it first came out in 1982... A very touching story of the later days of life....I will miss them both!!! Going to go watch it on DVD tonight...

[chrisno27]

I love this film and this scene
