Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur talking about Solar Power

A great scene for the movie, You Can't Take it With You. In which Jimmy and Jean talk about The Politics of Fear, Solar Power, the secret to happiness, and falling in love. All in the space of five minutes with no cuts or edits. They just don't make 'em like this anymore

Yep, all in one shot. The scene is actually a couple minuts longer than this, with some on the beginning and some on the end without any cuts. Really amazing, you just don't see stuff like this in movies anymore.

at about :47, they talk about how advertising works "They scare you to death so they can sell you something you don't need"

SEVENTY YEARS LATER AND IT'S STILL TRUE!

This is one of my favorite movies, could you post the part where they are eating dinner with his family and the cops come and take them to jail and they are in their cells? If not thats ok, I'm glad parts of the movie are on here, I doubt alot of people have even seen this movie.

Hard to find a young nazi back then, I suppose.

When you get a large screen tv, or start using a front projector, and see these folks really big...well, Jean Arthur starts to knock you out. Watch her close-ups in Easy Living. You're helpless.

Jimmy Stewart - sigh... I am so in love with you!

[JuanMacready]

Stewart was FAR too old to play Lindbergh, who was a NAZI.

@ukluv .... How would you describe Stewart's sort?

Both he an director Frank Capra were fairly strong Republicans, and Stewart attended Princeton, like his character Elwood P. Dowd in 'Harvey' Stewart was great in that great comedy as Dowd, and in Capra's 'It's A Wonderful Life' as George Bailey.

He was also great as Charles Lindbergh in a movie that wasn't particularly, 'The Spirit of St. Louis', but it's still worth seeing. And Lindbergh deserves a better biographical movie.
