If I Had You (1929)

[3investigators]

Wow - amazing. The use of the zoom lens decades before it became common.

My god I think I just fell in love with Douglas F. Jr.... he's gorgeous!

[Txboy85A]

Omg I have the sheet music for this!!! It's framed and hanging on the wall of my parlor.

the original gossip girl/!

Pretty song and love those girls from that time with cute CLEAN AND SOFT looking fluffy hair. Very feminine and appealing in dresses. Wish the designers of today would stop with the long straight stringy wet looking hair and bring back some shorter and softer looking hair styles. A few waves wouldn't hurt.

One of my favorite pictures, thanks for sharing!

Anita Page is the beautiful blond and Joan Crawford the brunette. They just don't make them like this anymore. Before sound these women learned how to captivate you with their body language alone in front of a camera. When sound hit they could still put on the charm on. As one lady said in a recent interview, 'Women of today have no mystery.' It's true.

@paulj0557 aww that makes me really sad. ..no mystery. That is like the saddest tale that's been heard of the ages.

A testimony to the 1920's and the Lost Generation...amazing sets.

I wish I was alive back then.. I'm so jealous

[Koshe4ka777]

The girl is wonderful - she is soo charming and pretty!

[stlgtrace]

Doug, Jr. is really handsome, he could be a top male model today!

[henrysinaga]

He has some sexy pics in a swimsuit most of them taken while he was married to Joan Crawford

[gmaureen]

@stlgtrace I actually met him about 1979. He was 68/69 years old at the time. He was probably 6'3" so his height was an asset, but it was more than that. There was something almost regal about his manner and carriage. At that age, he was still strikingly handsome too. I was young and dumb so I did far too much staring.

I love this music and the Joan Crawford performances of the silent era. Thank you!

[78timothy]

This was filmed as a silent then, as vitaphone w/their process became popular beginning w/Don Juan (John Barrymore) it was evident that they had to release w/musical accomaniment so this film was in that nether world and released as a silent w/musical accomaniment and sound effects. So this song is from this picture.

joan is more beautiful here than in photos from the 20's that really wasn't her era

[henry814]

I love this song! But I'm not clear - is this the original soundtrack for this film, or was it recorded seperately and added later? I thought this was an early "talkie," but the lack of dialogue and the title cards suggest otherwise...

[LordWham]

The film was released in both silent & sound versions, (musical score and sound effects) using the Western Electric Sound System.

I love this song, I know Al Bowlly's lyrical version off by heart!

[kspm01]

Wonderful to see the film this lovely tune came from! Thanks so much for sharing. What a clean copy by the way, looks brand new!
