[@Marckymarc71]

These weren't for public viewing. They were shown at the big year-end dinner galas for WB employees and other private showings.

[@DearLilyy]

Olivia gets me every time!

[@thomastarwater2989]

That ‘s director Edmund Goulding (DARK VICTORY) exclaiming about this picture that he waited one year to make, as he stares into the camera.

[@happiscotsman5135]

I'm still waiting for him to tell me why he's so excited about this picture it's taken him one year to make...

[@2legit64]

Geez, Olivia de Havilland even makes swearing classy!

[@spindalis79]

She is still alive, you know.

[@creativeuserneim]

Not anymore

[@alonenjersey]

When she and Kirk Douglas passed on, they were the last from that wonderful era of great filmmaking.

[@holyspacemonkey]

Jack Carson at 3:31! That’s from “One More Tomorrow,” which was shot in 1943 but didn’t get released until 1946.

[@akarpowicz]

Someone asked why people take their screwups so seriously: because movies were filmed and usually released in a very short time period. EVERYONE was on a tight schedule.

[@thewomaninthemoon]

That little clip with Bette and Gig was cute.

[@Pie2]

Love this!... Now I would LOVE to see Ava Gardner bloopers. You know there'd be a lot of bleeps.

[@Dtrollmancan]

this are golden thanks for the uplodes

[@pinkmeercatpink]

hahaha olivia saying 'oh christ, son of a bitch' has made my day

[@Kurama13]

I love all of these old movies!

[@mrjack4808]

I liked the blooper at 2:18 by Ruth Donnelly

[@thewomaninthemoon]

Beautifully put.

[@TheLights045]

Haha, these are all so funny! I love Barbara Stanwyck! And Charles Coburn at 2:00!

[@thomastarwater2989]

Poor Barton MacLane. He still can’t raise his ass off the ground. Poor guy.

[@Lauraxxjean]

thanks for showing this!

[@oywidapoodles]

God, I love these!

[@classicsfan10]

@Luckynumber78 Yeah, I wish there were blooper reels like this for the other studios--MGM, Paramount, RKO, etc.

[@OFFICIALGUSRICHLEN]

Some say he's still trying to get his ass off the ground to this day.

[@edwardjames50]

@bashbrannigan ~ The movie is "George Washington Slept Here," with left to right, Ann Sheridan, Joyce Reynolds, Charles Coburn, and Jack Benny.

[@paacer]

What was the name of the guy who kept repeating ' let me tell you about this picture' ? . I doubt he ever got it right lol

[@nicoley132]

+paacer Edmund Goulding

[@jefgain]

great video.

[@goombabear]

Humphrey Bogart was so angry and too serious. It's no wonder he died so young.

[@susanb2015]

It was lung cancer. But he was a serious actor from the theater.

[@nicoley132]

At about 2:45? I think that's Christmas in Connecticut again -- Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan.

[@GlassPike]

OMG! Hearing how americans actually talked in 1944 is so cool! The woman at about 3 minutes in actually said "gee, I sure was..."

[@peterbentley5184]

Love seen people acting themselves instead of the restraints of censorship!

[@nicoley132]

I like the bit -- in the '39 one I think it is -- where Errol lets slip something like "you're a damn good flyer"... Whoops, couldn't say that back then, ha.

[@22moviefan22]

can you imagine. greta garbo forgetting her lines or crawford. what i wouldnt give for that. lol

[@morrismesmo]

Rosalind Russel was great in " His Girl Friday"

[@RdtheLiterature]

ya i thought so to, but she wasn't really keen on it though....

[@DebKerrGirl]

wooohooo go Stanwyck LOL!

[@RdtheLiterature]

I LOVED IT!!!

[@Songvbm]

What is the movie at 4:31 where we can see Gary Cooper with an actress?

[@TheGadgetPanda]

The actress is Ingrid Bergman and the movie is Saratoga Trunk (1945) - "An opportunistic Texas gambler and the exiled Creole daughter of an aristocratic family join forces to achieve justice from the society that has ostracized them."

[@nicoley132]

@ilikemusicandvideo I imagine because, especially during the war, film was comparatively scarce and expensive, so mistakes cost the studios money.

[@classicsfan10]

@Lissbirds While some probably did, I'm guessing that not all of them swore this much everyday--these are moments of intense frustration, most likely. I could be wrong though.

[@trentrock3210]

LONG days on the set, hot lights, pressure to get scenes done.

[@nicoley132]

@lou1606 Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan. :)

[@rubytuesdayphoenix]

2:31-2:44 this one kills me. Is that Errol Flynn?

[@oldclassics1923]

Yup

[@thalialuvmx]

i love my barbara!

[@luisreyes1963]

The greatest zinger ever told at 2:15 🤣

[@python130]

Olivia s cursing quite surprising hahahahha Barbara and Russel just great ...... actually I like them all hahahha

[@Filmdude0]

@ilikemusicandvideo Because it breaks your concentration plus you feel you are holding off the whole team....

[@YouTalker]

4:56 - 5:24 ... need I say more? :) Haha, gotta love not-so-saintly Olivia.

[@IngridBergmanRocked]

Errol Flynn had one of the sexiest smiles EVER!!!!!!! *happy sigh*

[@RobloxMaster642]

6:38 I wonder what cartoon that was from?

[@JacksonJohnson979]

Puss N Booty (1943)

[@kd5nrh]

2:58-3:05 anybody know what movie this was?

[@SlimKatz]

Olivia de Havilland! HAHA Oh my God...

[@anoldprestonian]

Hilarious! But because of the cursing etc. I wonder if these bloopers were allowed to actually be seen in 1944??

[@22moviefan22]

barbara stanwyck was soooo funny. is it just me or does it seem like that guy is like hard core flirting with her. lol

[@MsLilyhorse]

Gary Cooper had an extremely bad time with piles, and it interfered with his concentration.

[@nicoley132]

@Mick342 Where is that part anyway?

[@nicoley132]

"And the cow. ...Oh, you son of a bitch."

[@BazukinBelyugovich]

Legend has it that Errol Flynn still can't get his ass off the ground to this day...

[@oldclassics1923]

What movie is the scene at 3:15 from?

[@nicoley132]

What movie is that anyway -- Thank Your Lucky Stars?

[@hersheykth6856]

I am new to this classics vintage movies .... Please Anyone tell me the name of movies at 2:32 and 2:45 and 3:39 and 5:00 and 5:15 ... ???

[@prabhudanamganta8927]

2.14. .. which movie it is??????

[@morrismesmo]

Great stuff...those were actors...nowadays there are only reptiles in people' suit...

[@RdtheLiterature]

i know!!! i was thinking the same thing

[@nicoley132]

@Mick342 Ah okay... I have no idea.

[@mariaw.4780]

People swore more then than they do now.

[@classicsfan10]

@ilikemusicandvideo I guess they were just serious actors, but yeah, it does seem like some people are genuinely ticked. I guess if it's like the fifteenth take or something it would get annoying. To me it just gives credit to their professionalism--they didn't want to goof off.

[@cagneyfan2008]

The first part was pretty random. LOVED 2:18 where the nurse said "Let's go into the pee-pee" to the Indian guy.

[@nicoley132]

@thecrackfox666 You Can't Escape Forever perhaps?

[@lovintap]

who's that with Bette at 3:30?

[@Fairyangel24]

@ksol1460tv Me too! Imagine seeing Greta Garbo's bloopers?

[@AnnSheridanFanClub]

The only Ann bit is at 1:59

[@ScottiWalker]

GODDAMN IT!

[@02chevyguy]

@RELIGIOUSREVOLUTION LOL! Most common phrases of the '40's? ;)

[@sspdirect02]

2:16 WHAT THE FUCK!!!

[@gjford1951]

Who got to see these things? Surely the audiences of the time wouldn't have stood for the "cussing".

[@gentlemanjake8005]

They likely would have, but the production code probably made them think Hollywood was classier than it was.

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

WB annual dinner parties

[@donvitocorleone6443]

2:33 movie?

[@gentlemanjake8005]

Gentleman Jim ?

[@tomitstube]

women were tough back in the day.

[@NakedTongues]

Poor nicole is being pestered for 1948 and 47 and 46 probably before and many many by, but just in case does she have them up her sleeve?

[@nicoley132]

Heh... I love Charles Coburn. :)

[@nicoley132]

@sayward12 5:33 -- Air Force maybe? Some war movie. :p

[@nicoley132]

@bashbrannigan Charles Coburn :)

[@warholism]

"Oh Christ son of a bitch" God, I love her.
