  • Do you know of a source for her films? As far as I know, her only '30's film that's available on DVD is the Hitchcock one? These are far better quality/resolution clips of her than any I've seen on Youtube so far. Also, which film are the images of her on the boat from?

    Nice job on syncing the music & images @ 4.42!

  • Waltzes From Vienna was sourced from the French DVD release, Climbing High from a VHS recording of a BBC2 broadcast in 1999, The Good Companions from the USA VHS release and all the rest (Evergreen, First A Girl, There Goes The Bride, The Man From Toronto, Friday The Thirteenth, It's Love Again, Sailing Along and Gangway) are from the UK VHS releases in the 1990s. The clip on the boat is from Sailing Along and the synching at 2.42(?) was pure luck!

  • So they did show her films until at least '99, on UK tv...

  • "Climbing High" was shown on BBC2 as part of a short season of British films previously thought "lost".

  • Why insult Jessie Matthews with a soundtrack by a bunch of silly little yobs making the God awful noise that all such yobs make? You are obviously an idiot.

    Get real and start listening to real music such as JM used to sing beforfe the oiks took over.

  • This music is terrible. Put back Amelie.

  • Jessie Matthews- just wonderful

  • She was delightful! I'm surprised we haven't seen more of her films here in the U.S.

    She didn't have a bad nose at all. Maybe buck teeth but still she was very cute. And what a dancer!

  • Oh, sounds good. Didn't know it was ever thought to be lost!

  • She was very self-conscious about her nose. She thought the end of it was bulbous. I remembered reading that when I was part way through watching this, and until that moment, her nose looked just fine to me. Then it did, in fact, look a little funny after I remembered. But she's still cute!

  • Wow. And at times looks like sort of like a cross between Liza Minnelli and Anne Hathaway. (But way cuter than either).

  • Super cute-looking.
