I had a dejà vu after hearing Auld Lang Syne and seeing James Stewart teary-eyed face and then remembered the ending of It's A Wonderful Life.

Considering the attitudes of that period, I find it quite surprising (in a good way) how often you see older actresses like Hepburn, Greer Garson, Bette Davis, Jean Arthur, etc. playing romantic leads and also how popular they were as stars.

Yeah, you do find quite of a lot of anti-war sentiments expressed in films after WWI. They didn't glorify war as much as they tended to after WWII.

In what other films does he use accents? I'm interested because you rarely find actors from that period doing accents - they speak in their standard American accent regardless of the nationality of the character.

A complete disregard for correct accents here - though that's pretty typical of the films of the period. Few notable exceptions like Bette Davis (The Letter, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex) and Paul Muni (Life of Emile Zola, Juarez and many others)

Like Rock Hudson's Irish accent!!

And also, why blame Evie so much? Alexander is just as much at fault, if not more since he's being unfaithful to his wife.

those sideburns!!!

Thanks for posting - so far, I think this is the best filmed version of the play I have sign. True Joan Plowright cannot equal Dame Edith Evans especially in her delivery of 'A HANDBAG?' but the other characters are acted in a much livelier but at the same time authentic manner than in 1952 versi...

What! Sarah's pregnant again!

Wonder whether Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh got the idea for The House of Eliott from these scenes.

love it when Hudson makes a joke!

Can't believe Irene Dunne was in her late thirties in this film. She looks so young.
