  1. it is more than Hollywood making movies like they used to.  it was an audience that appreciated and accepted the arts that were rooted in strong ethics and morals (social mores).

  2. Thoughtful entertainment, and all without "f bombs", noxious families and gore. I have cancelled all satellite usage and opt for movies, tv programs made before I was born. (or around that time!) Thank you for sharing your insight into choices.

  3. Edgar G. Robinson made and acted in lovely movies this and "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" with Agnes Moorehead and Margaret O'Brien are nice, thoughtful and intelligent movies. Burt Lancaster was a wonderful actor and Producer. Loved his "Marty" as well with Ernest Borgnine. And, the story of the Alcoholic husband in "Come Back Little Sheba", with Shirley Booth. They both understood the human heart and psyche so well. Thank you for letting us see "All My Son's".

  4. @14:00 reference to horoscopes is typical of Hollywood superstition. The Bible says the following against it: “And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?” (Is. 8:19).

  5. From childhood 1950 I know this film and the great actors E.G. Robinson, B. Lancanster, L. Horton and M. M. Christians. Thanks for showing!

  6. Quite Brilliant.Have never seen Robinson act better and he has been Excellent in other Movies. Of course, Lancaster was one of the finest actors of his generation ans also exceptional in this role.Arthur Miller was a superb Playwright so the script was always going to be 1st class but the simple but effective story line made this a joy to watch. Not the Average American Apple Pie family which makes it an even better film as there was nearly always an underlying Happy end to films of this Era. Thanks for the upload. Your choice of films is excellent.

  7. well…before all the old movies, there were old radio productions. example..The Price Of Fear. often narrated by Vincent Price and sometimes starring in them, these selection of great plays and so forth are still available on YouTube I downloaded so many and they make great bedtime stories especially when we can't sleep right off? easier than leaning over a book straining the old eyeballs? I swear by them.

  8. for my play project in English i looked at the play for this then i was like to hell with this so i watched the movie AND I REALLY LIKE IT

  9. A great movie for philosophers of the workplace – required material. I noticed the symbolic images – wife serving grape juice – etc.

  10. Superb story. Thanks so much for the upload, Alex. – E.G. Robinson is (still) the absolute best of the best… an amazing actor! Btw, M. Brando comes a bit close.

  11. So how many pilots truly died? Was there 20 with faulty parts and Larry a suicide pilot. Or where there actually 21 faulty parts and Larry's dead body unfound?

  12. Read the book and here the movie. Great pair
    All is Vanity. Thanks for uploading. will appreciate if you could direct me to watch more of Arthur Miller. Great Artist

  13. This was made as a dramatization to an actual event at Curtis-Wright, when engines were oked for WW2 airplanes that were no good. Heads rolled when it was uncovered.
