soapbxprod This is amazing stuff ! Shows such a gentler time. I love the woman at the beginning with the gogo boots and bikini. Did'nt poor Roddy die of throat cancer? tragic really. Thanks so much for posting !
@MrDennisatthebeach Thank you for your lovely compliment! The woman at the head of the clip is Tammy Grimes, a dear friend of Roddy's- she was very famous! Actually Roddy died of lung cancer...
I meant to say was people want to EVIL things and most of those people who disrespect rock hudson also do the same to OBAMA conservatives hate HOLLYWOOD more then even WASHINGTON or WALL STREET call the anti-hollywood moreFAR RIGHT ugly ducklings
@Underdog123 Must fight the desire to generalize! Got to take each person one at a time- too easy to say "All Liberals", "All Conservatives"... like saying "All Blacks" or "All Whites"...
hey I like rock hudson a legend In deed live on labor day but dead OCTOBER 2nd sad when he dies sadder where he from like me CHICAGO lost the olympics 24 years after and EVIL TEA PARTY celebrates because he was homosexual and died of AIDS no mystery about his death but some have no respect for he lived I view as a devasating but nothing to change what happened.
@Pattyplace1 Home movies with sound were an difficult and expensive proposition in 1965. Even for Hollywood stars. The only single system (no separate tape recorder) 16mm cameras were the Auricon or the Frezzolini, with either an optical track burner or mag head inside (you needed special mag striped film for that) and they cost a small fortune. Remember that movie cameras are mechanical. They make noise, so they have to be specially built not to...
@windstorm1000 You got it! How democratic! AND normal! Don't you love Julie Andrews driving a Ford Falcon wagon? She won the Oscar this year- 1965- for The Sound of Music!

@soapbxprod : Labor Day 1965. LOL. I didn't even look at the title. Crazy me. Thanks for uploading. I love watching old movies/videos about the 1960's and 1970's. Life was simple and carefree back then.
@GregorHo Thanks so very much! Natalie is my ONE TRUE LOVE... with the exception of my wife- who looks a lot like Barbara Stanwyck- Guess that RJ and I have similar tastes in women! We have many other clips of Roddy's footage here on our channel, as well as a "rough" assembly titled "Hollywood 1965" that we are using to pitch a feature documentary. Almost all of our completed features are uploaded here as well. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to you!
@GregorHo Wish there were! Roddy shot all of them that spring and summer- but he didn't give us any others... when he passed away, all of his archive was sealed for 100 years according to the dictates of his will. So we will probably never know what other treasures he captured for posterity!
@GinaToySculptor Here's what an anonymous fan wrote: what Lauren Bacall and Rock Hudson are saying to each other at about 2'15 in that video is the tag line from "Written on the Wind" - "What a woman tells a man - what a man tells a woman is [both turn to camera] Written on the Wind". During filming of that movie, which they both had fun on but thought was very silly, they'd start off their day doing the routine that they're doing here in the home movie.
@BoricuaDelight So do we! We're thinking of having a lip reader decipher all the dialogue and then bringing voice artists in to recreate/ADR all of it...
1min in she says something like "must u film me with the fucking (or freaking) camera" and then it turns off. lol I think she was sincerely annoyed or jokingly being that way. regardless that was very easy to read (lip wise)
@VonFisch1 In fact, we are going to hire a lip reader when we start working on the feature film to be made from Roddy's footage! We have an initial rough assembly posted here on our channel titled "Hollywood 1965"- please take a look!
@VonFisch1 He was a great guy- and a good friend. Janet Leigh introduced us to him when we were making her biography for Lifetime's Intimate Portrait series. It's uploaded here on our channel- titled "Janet Leigh... A Life in Hollywood"
@MsTheid That's wonderful! Nina, George's daughter, has gotten in touch with us- we hope that she will be involved in our production of a feature length documentary using all the clips that we have uploaded here.
These are phenomenal. Can't quite articulate why... the silence adds a quality of 'realness' to them I think... seems to contextualise them. Compulsively going through all of your clips now. The ones with Bacall are stunning. I think what these really speak to is the intrinsic charisma of stars like Hudson & Bacall. The camera quite literally loves them, even without lighting, makeup, orchestrated mise-en-scene.
@eriiya09 Said it before somewhere- we are going to hire a lip reader, transcribe the dialog, and have voice artists as well as those in the footage who are still alive read the dialog to picture- called ADR...!
@ARJAY1962 Way to GO! Was trying to remember who he WAS! He's in a lot of footage that I have of Frank (Sinatra) at Romanoff's! Couldn't do without all you fans- keep those cards and letters comin'!
Fascinating.! I was a child in Hollywood back in that time...my father was out there making movies like Camelot. Fascinating to see...I hope I get my fathers home movies one day...they make such engrossing viewing.thank you for sharing with us xx
@tyjeffries WOW! I will send you a private message with contact info! I was born in 1960- we might have met as toddlers! Luke Sacher (family name Biberman).
@soapbxprod Very true. Thanks for uploading this excellent footage. I love looking at classic memorabilia from the past, especially scenes from my hometown of Los Angeles. Btw, I'll be going right through Malibu on Pacific Coast Highway on my way to Zuma Beach today. And I'll certainly remember your vids, while I look over at the houses along the Coast! Take care.
@soapbxprod I may take some Pix. But today, I'm not going to be on the beach, where I could see these homes. I'll be going by on the highway. And Malibu has changed quite a bit. Most of these houses have been made into huge beach front mansions. It's also more secure now then back min the 60s, when you could just walk from the highway to these homes. Most of these homes are in private property. You can still access the beach, but it's more difficult now. I'll look into the MPEG movie player.;)
@MalcolmCir Thank you! We are planning to employ a lip reader to reveal and transcribe what they are actually saying for the feature length documentary that we are currently working on- and to bring voice actors into the studio to record their dialog to picture- know as ADR in the industry. Won't that be a GAS?
@soapbxprod It certainly is a blast into the past! I wish today's movie stars were reminiscent of the old hollywood film stars. Well, at least these screen icons of a bygone era will infinitely bless society with their continued existence in our hearts and in film.
@VioletSkyOnFire So agree- and it's not just the nostalgia... The movies generally were better- because the scripts were better! The directors understood something more sophisticated about the human condition...
@VioletSkyOnFire That is SUPER! Wonder if anyone today would try to make a Eugene O'Neill play into a movie! Or a Sinclair Lewis novel like Elmer Gantry! LOL
@VioletSkyOnFire That is SUPER! Wonder if anyone today would try to make a Eugene O'Neill play into a movie! Or a Sinclair Lewis novel like Elmer Gantry! LOL
@VioletSkyOnFire You gotta see it- Burt Lancaster and Jean Simmons are incredible. Shirley Jones won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress- beat Janet Leigh for Psycho...
@fakeplasticjohn So happy that you enjoy it! Sorry for the duplicated Rock Hudson Labor Day sequence- we were working on it in the Avid and thought that they were two separate sequences... too late now!
Wow. My father is in this video--he's the fey-looking chap in a captain's hat doing a weird Chaplinesque routine at around 2:40. Amazing for me to see. Thanks for posting!
OMG!! All my friends and contemporaries. Now almost all gone!! BTW, who's the blonde w/ the bandana beside Rock? Is that Carroll Baker? I didn't remember her being there?

@FunnEGirlZ Thank you! All of our clips are copyrighted and monetized- we are in partnership with YouTube! They are all free to viewers, we make money per click- please recommend them to your friends- more clicks mean more bread on the table, and a greater chance of being able to produce a feature length television program titled "Hollywood 1965"- there is a rough assembly here on our channel page with Roddy speaking on camera in Janet Leigh's dining room!
This kind of document justifies the very existence of Youtube. If there's a motion picture made of these, I 'll run to the theater to see it and I 'll be the first to buy the dvd.
@soapbxprod While I am excited at the prospect of seeing your eventual documentary, I can't help but wonder if these films are more powerful in their raw, silent form than they will be with some narrator talking over them in shortened and edited form. The nature of TV seems to be not to know when to shut up and let the images do the (powerful) talking, be it news footage or sports or whatever. These silent home movies are fascinating and powerful.
@DynapubsA I beg to differ! We have a library of interviews with virtually all the major stars of the era- Kirk Douglas' and Roddy's personal insights are primary source material. They lived it, so they know what it was like then. We're not going to make some cheesy love letter! The offline assembly is only a preliminary- it will probably take two to three years to make the final feature- as it did with our biography The Rat Pack. Also, we work under contract. So we must satisfy our backers.
2:17 love this- Bacall said in an interview that she and Rock would often send up the "soapiness" of 'Written in the Wind'- this is a fine example of them doing this!
Oh if only they had sound! Thank you for giving these for free.
