Days of Wine and Roses..Perry Como

[lilbee8881]

I always loved Jack Lemmon he was always able to inject a human sincerity to his characters. Very missed!

[paramedicEmergency51]

Oh didn't know that jack Lemmon was gonna be the pictures but I love him

[fuckrareware]

wow how old are these people commenting? like 75 lol

[calihartley2010]

@fuckrareware Nope on the contrary there are some of us, who are in our 20s and younger. BTW, you profile name is stupid. Shows what sort of trash you are.

[fuckrareware]

@calihartley2010 how is it stupid? Rareware fucked up by ruining itself by going to microsoft. Don't say shit, when you don't know what it means bitch. Go back to your 50's trash. 21 century ho get real

[calihartley2010]

@fuckrareware Well your comments proves that you are ignorant and do not know what I am talking about. I said your name is stupid because you have the f word in your profile name. Now why don't you go and hide in the trashy ghettos of the 21st century and leave good people like us alone.

[fuckrareware]

@calihartley2010 you never said my name is stupid because it has the f word in it you said " Your profile name is stupid" Which you don't know what your saying again because your an idiot.

[calihartley2010]

@fuckrareware Well I am commenting on what I see. i do not know your real name, nor do i care. So if you are too stupid to put that together, then maybe you should not be trolling on the internet. Your comments show how pitiful you are.

[fuckrareware]

@calihartley2010 your mad cuz urrrr DUmb :D

[calihartley2010]

@fuckrareware touche mon ami

[maureen1938]

Thank you for posting this beautiful music and one of my big favourites of Perry Como. It's truly amazing.

[ANTIAMHOR]

Que voz maravilhosa e que música linda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[terrryc]

What a movie! Alcoholism treated with an understanding rarely seen in films. The 1-2 punch of Klugman and Lemmon. And Lee Remick showing that nice people can be tragic alcoholics, too. This might be Billy Wilder's most important film from a very distinguished body of work.

[billyralphweeden]

FUNNY.......

I'm really not a great JACK LEMMON fan, he never did do a film

with my AVA GARDNER !! But out of all his films, THE DAYS OF

WINE & ROSES is my absolute favorite - no one else could have

done a better part with that film.....heavy subject matter and

heartbreaking to those of us who love someone with alcohol issues.

THANK YOU for this great vid.......wonderful music, photos & memories !!

All The Best, Billy Ralph Weeden

[LordGandor3]

When I was a kid I saw Walter walking his old english sheep dogs on the beach Dog people are genuine

[48remember]

I was born in Rome, Italy but I love this song as an american lady

[Majadez]

Great song, great movie. ;)

[Jennings03]

Two great actors whom I now miss, a super song and a superb singer; can't beat it!

[TheBbergner86]

This link is on a Lars Fredericksen and the Bastards - Wine and Roses

[immaginationkids2000]

I miss Jack too. He was a wonderful actor who made wonderful movies.

[ToughXArmy69]

I saw this brilliant drama when it was released and can only say Kudos to

Jack Warner who took on the project even while it seemed commercially troubling, and of course to Blake Edwards, Lee Remick and to Jack Lemmon who with Mr. Roberts, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, and Days Of Wine and Roses reached the pinnacle of super-stardom early and stayed there until Lemmon died. A truly great star.

[JarvisRose]

Mr. Como floors me with his fantastic vocal range!

[RflxnsNdaMrr1]

My dad had the sheet music for this song, and I liked it a lot when I was very young.

[lilbee8881]

I'm in my early 40's and I always feel that I was born in the wrong era.

[shortcut58]

Very well done <3

[cristix1987]

I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StevieB1362]

I also like the more famous Andy Williams version, but Perry did a good job in his own style too.

[sta2479]

i remember this movie as a child and i love it.alway remicd me of the dangers of alcahol.

[Lembas21]

Grande Jack!

[oysterpippo]

In a Radio broadcasting interview, Holiday, asked about which kind of music she'd have brought with her on a desert island, answered: "Something pretty by Nat, something by Satchmo and something by Perry Como".

[Sheri451]

All the good actors are gone now, except for Tom Hanks.Lee Remick was such a pretty lady. All these fine people in this video were the best.

[chopitshop]

this song reminds me when i was a little girl and one of my parents drank it was so hard to watch what they did to theirselves over and over again i had to take care of them they were such a different person when they drank, very abusive, i thank god that even thow it was much later in life that parent found god and we made peace with the past i always loved them, always !!!!

[Sheri451]

@chopitshop I am so glad you are better, I know about abuse, my sister has been abusing drugs for thirty years now, this has affected all three of my niec and nephews, My niece is an uncaring mother who gave her son to his father, my oldest nephew is fifteen and he has cut himself numerous times and tries to starve himself, she used to be like this, and my seven year old nephew is insecure and nervous

[chopitshop]

@Sheri451 thank you for your kindness hope you and your family enjoy the holidays, yes i am better but unfornately even when we forgive the heart does not always alow us to forget, god bless you and your family

[Sheri451]

@chopitshop Thank You very much. I always say a prayer for them every night, I also ask God to bless everyone on the planet. 

[calihartley2010]

@chopitshop Well I am glad that your parents found God and that peace prevailed in your family.

[chopitshop]

@calihartley2010 thank you 

[calihartley2010]

@chopitshop You're Welcome

[neweast1]

he was the best class act

[neweast1]

id heard this song long before my drinking sarted but had never seen the movie.thankfully over 10 years now ive quit the booze and seen the movie.a beautiful song with such a sobering message i humm this everyday especially the tough ones and remember what will happen.

[sharx35]

@neweast1 You a friend of Bill W.?

[neweast1]

@sharx35 ya

[Jennings03]

A couple of great actors and a singer all of whom have proven to be irreplacable!

[TheCaptainT]

Great song, wonderful slide show. Put a lump my throat remembering all those great movies. It almost feels like I lived through all of that over the years. Thanks for putting this together.

[nancyfloressantos]

1963 remembered.

[albamaria54]

Perry Como FOREVER. thanks.............

[euterpian2euterpian]

timeless and evergreen

[damone77]

Oh, people always tell me how depressing the movie is ..."The days of wine and roses". And I tell them:"Then Black Edwards did his job superbly". From the opening credits to the realism of the story, it certainly ranks as one of my favorite movies of all time. Lee Remick is superb as well as jack. may they both R.I.P. Ty for the lovely post!

[jbdream3]

Jack Lemmon was and always will be one of my top - of - my - list favorite classic actors. I miss Jack so much and Days of Wine and Roses is one of my favorite movies of his along with Some Like it Hot. RIP Jack, I'll always love you.

[PJCoan]

Jack worked with all the beauties of his era- Marilyn Monroe, Doris Day, Judy Holliday, Shirley MacLaine, Lee Remick, Virna Lisi- the list goes on and on. He was a natural as an actor- it seemed effortless. I loved his saying as he stepped on the set to begin filming- "I't magic time!" Such talent and class. Never to be repeated. RIP dear Jack.

[djmui2001]

this is just awesome ;o)

i love jack lemmon and this song too xx

greetings and love from hk ;)

[gisforfun]

Jack Lemmon, American Icon; thank God we have his movies.

[Shon9tilR]

Old classics are the best.

[jan261954]

he was the greatest,

[PJCoan]

A beautiful tribute to a wonderful man and a great actor! Jack was I think very underrated- his body of work was incredible! From serious drama to slapstick comedy, he excelled it all of it! And everyone just loved working with him- a giving, kind man. Rest in peace, dear man- ya did good!

[Sheri451]

This was such a good movie! Lee Remick was such a beautiful lady.

[jbdream3]

Jack Lemmon is great! He's one of my favorite old time actors. I miss Jack so much. Days of Wine and Roses is one of my favorite movies of his, along with Some Like it Hot and Airport 77, RIP

[nancyfloressantos]

Beautiful rendition.Treasured and cherished.

[MsJune54]

oh how I love Jack Lemmon and this movie & song!! this made me cry, it's a beautiful little tribute to this wonderful actor, really miss him. thank you for putting this together!!!

[charliemctruth]

@MsJune54

Thanks for your lovely words.

It makes it worth it...if that makes any sense.

Lyrics by Johnny Mercer ..

xx

[handballr15]

I would have to argue that Andy Williams' version is slightly better, but only slightly!  They both do justice to an incredible song!

[neilnsue]

This was a truly great movie-and Perry Como's version of the theme song is, to me, the very best I have heard-once again Mr. C hits a home run!

[gnsback]

Jack was so spontaneous! Put him with another spontaneous energy like Kim Novak and blam! They were so great in The Notorious Landlady and others. I miss him and Matthau a lot-gone too soon. Thanks for this wonderful video with Perry Como, a legendary performer, also. I miss em all, and Lee Remick, too.

[fercyliandton]

Very nice version. Perry Como always at his best.

[joanerbubbles]

Gad, I miss him, and this most wonderful song says it all. He said this song made him choke up every time he heard it..Perry does a marvelous job on this. Thanks for posting.. Joanerbubbles (aka FortuneFolly)

[calihartley2010]

@joanerbubbles Please spell God correctly and not Gad. Thanks

[WillyReed19]

The movie this came from rocks the shit.

[charlie6644]

This was done with such heartfilled fellings. I tip my hat to you for something so beautifully done.

[BarbB1953]

A lovely tribute to Jack Lemmon -- I believe Johnny Mercer wrote the words, though.

[plasmatv]

I'll betcha y'all don't know that my favorite movie of all time is "The Out Of Towners"....Jack Lemmon & Sandy Dennis..

[handsupbud]

What a great time. No Fax machines,cell phones,text messaging,shitty high priced satellite TV with nothing on. People were closer in many ways back then.

I long for those times but those times are long gone.

[phoenixtimes2]

I'm afraid they are, too. We are 'technologizing' ourselves out of feeling, human involvement, and true relating to one another. We paid a price for our 'sophistication' didn't we? I long too. But I have memories and they will have to do, because the days of lip rings, pierced tongues, and punk are here to replace that graceful, elegant, beautiful time of some years ago. It's truly sad.

[LDis1]

Indeed. Absolutely. Today, everyone is too busy to enjoy certain aspects of life. Back in this time, everyone did enjoy life.. Much more than now.

[mortygwhiz]

Jack Lemon's perfomance in The Days of Wine and Roses was an enlightening experience. If you have neverr seen the film you are in for quite an experience. The only advice I would give would be to see some of his comedic performances before watching this movie.

[ciaci44]

thank you very good

[HAPPYTHELEAF]

Jack Lemmon was one of the best,all his movies were great,he had such a bright smile..

[bellmerdolls]

great oldy? what does that mean? what "great" things supercede? radiohead? tupac? it's great, period. como brings mercer's melancholy to the forefront. this is no wedding song. it's not simple. "oldy" is a put-down. this is far more complex than anyone even has the imagination for, let alone the talent, nowadays.

[davidaud777]

great oldy

[tdtd98]

He was the man with the golden voice. He was genuine and not a faker like michael buble. Perry was Great

[EasternMerchant]

I was truly born at the wrong time :(

When I read books and watch reels of the 50's & 60's I think to myself, My GAWD was is even possible to have such a reality where everything seemed classy..... the music, movies, fashion, architecture, cars, travel, ingenuity, etc. were all just simply gorgeous!!! Just Gorgeous!!!

Heck, even the general public walking down the streets of an urban area seemed to have class!

Whatever went wrong in the world?

Whatever happened to all of that?

[misred1]

EasternMerchant :yes it's possible because I lived it,hmmm what happened,people started wearing jeans on the airplane and didn't get dressed up to go downtown and it went to shit after that lol. But then Twiggy , Petula Clarke and Volkswagen vans happened and my world got better again !!!

[hkjazz1]

That is so true. Stars were stars in those days.

People today pay so much for gloomy hoody clothing just to look the same. Tall ugly buildings are everywhere because architects no longer feel any guilt for putting up these tall ugly things anymore.

It is sad that people no longer have dreams to look up to. Dreams to look better, do better and live better. We only look for pleasure for the moment. We need examples and stars, not absolute equality. Cheap abundance versus rare luxury?

[Sheri451]

@EasternMerchant I am the same way, I was born in 63 and my Mom and dad had the radio on all the time. I loved the music from their era and my grandparents era in the 1940s. Back then, people would dress up and go to eat out, or go to church, or go shopping, or to a movie, dressed to "the nines" Now, people dress sloppily they even go to church in pants and jeans, women actually put a dress on to go to church, before 2000, now they wear pants. My fathers daily atire are baggy shorts holey shirt.

[mysweetlizzie]

@Sheri451 Everything went to hell in this country;pride,dignity,honor,hu­mility,and everything else.Maybe no one cares about real values anymore.Sad

[calihartley2010]

@mysweetlizzie Thank the hippies and the liberals for the ruin of America and class. Also, thank the third world immigrants for not assimilating and not wanting to be classy, but want to make the US a hellhole like their countries. All this contributed to the demise of the classy american culture of the 50s and 60s.

[EchoCannon89]

@calihartley2010 Some people might not like what you're saying; but it's true. The 50's were probably the high point of America, yet the ignorant left sought to destroy it. We're all paying the price today for their stupidity as we live in the dumbed down culture that they created. This video provides a perfect example; Perry Como and Henry Mancini were Italian immigrants who probably faced discrimination yet rose above it and contributed something great to America.

[calihartley2010]

@EchoCannon89 Yes you are right. I do not care if others like it or not. I know that I am right and sometimes the truth hurts. I wish the US goes back to those days of good manners, and great music like this. Many ethnic groups faced discrimination, but they all took that in their stride and wanted to be american and give back to America. Not like the third world trash who are ungrateful and demand stuff that they are not entitled to. Especially when you have the democrats and Obama helping them

[achahei]

@calihartley2010 About those 3rd World trash, native Americans have got to stand up to their attempts to pollute your American culture and traditions in the name of this Admendment or that.. Tell your Congressman not to suck up to their demands in return for their votes. And to hell with the absurd political correctness thingy.

[calihartley2010]

@achahei Hear hear. I wish I could have a drink with you. Thank God that you are one of the few people on youtube that have some common sense. Yes and please do not forget that you also need to educate your kids and grandkids to be classy and not follow the culture of death and ghettoness that is being potrayed as the cool thing to do. To be honest, when you said Native Americans, I thought you meant the native Indians. That threw me off for a moment LOL.

[classyfunny]

@EasternMerchant Believe it or not but it's the natural human progress, or regress, as God predicted in the Bible. It'll actually get worse, much worse, as you may already be seeing around you in the world, before it all ends. Our days are numbered, which is why the wise seek Him and His counsel. God desires obedience and wants the best for us, though we in our sinful nature think we know better and choose our own path, one that leads to destruction. Our hope is thus in God alone. Be blessed! †

[calihartley2010]

@EasternMerchant Yeah i too feel I was born in the wrong era. The world seems so bad inspite of the advances in technology Like I said below blame all this on liberals, hippies and third world immigrants.

[Francologne]

Very fine version and great montage! Wonderful work!

[kellynga]

Oh how my mother loves this song! I used to have to take a nap to this song when I was little. I always think of her sweetness when I hear this great song. Thanks for posting.

[RevLouM]

Beautiful, considering the bittersweet that was not only this song, but the movie...

[FilmTraum9b]

graet actor!Thanks for sharing!

[flyleaf4me]

That was great! Thanks for posting!

[FLPman]

I'm only 26 but fortunate enough to have been passed down an appreciation for art from my grandparents .. beautiful song, great actor

[swt32567]

Your Grandparents did a wonderful job. Hats off to them.

[plasmatv]

"Out Of Towners".Jack Lemmon & Sandy Denis.......I'll never forgive Steve Martin & Goldie Hawn, for ruining that movie!....lol

[eepghd]

LOL.

[swt32567]

I give thanx to my daddy, Samuel A. Chase for teaching me to appreciate great music like this.I am proud that I grew up in the era of great music, the fifties & sixties. "It was the best of times;it was the worst of times."Now I am a grandfather trying to pass on to my grandchildren this legacy of music appreciation.The sixties were truely "The Days Of Wine & Roses".Thax Dad, Rest Eternal.

Vaya Con Dios.

[charliemctruth]

Many thanks for your comment...It makes it all worthwhile.

Charlie

[myraj34dd]

@swt32567 You were so lucky. I developed a love for the music by listening to it on the radio. In Birmingham, there was only one station that played it. I miss "Hubbard's Cupboard".

[cstarsoft2000]

What a great tribute. Many thanks.

[swt32567]

A great tribute to Jack Lemmon and all of his great body of work. We miss you Jack we really do. You and Walter were truely "The Odd Couple". Thanx for all the smiles over the years. Vaya Con Dios Amigo.

[mikemckv]

Fabulous tribute, Charlie. Charliesou Productions goes from strength to strength. Jack was never greater, for me, than as Shelley in Glengarry Glen Ross.

[charliemctruth]

"I need those leads,the glengarry leads, and I need them now or I'm out! You're going to miss me. I swear to you, you will miss me."
