Jean Gabin, Ida Lupino & Claude Rains in "Moontide" (1942)

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

It's so amazing that the same Hollywood that once made wonderful films like this is turning out such junk now, and that there's an audience for it. I'm so thankful to people like you who find and present 'the good stuff.'

[@DonaldPBorchersOG]

Welcome. I appreciate your kind words, and your support.

[@cherylvirden3073]

Ma. Lupino was a Triple Threat she act, directs and produced. Very Talented Lady . Ive watched her for years. Anything she contribute to was Exceptional! Thanks for the showing. Im Subscribed.

[@freemarketjoe9869]

I loved her in "Northwest passage" with Bogart, the first film I ever saw her in. She really was something!

[@cherylvirden3073]

@@freemarketjoe9869 I've seen it. And I 👍

[@richardbrowning8221]

Ida lupino was 60 yrs ahead of her time as the triple threat. And very easy on the eyes. A beauty, I was fortunate enough to grow up watching and being entertained by her for yrs. Who said you can't be pretty and smart all at the same time? She tamed Bogie in " High Sierra"!

When I was just a kid my dad filled me in on Ms. Lupino's formidable credits. Going to the movies was just about the only thing to do indoors in Montana in the 1920s so dad was very familiar with the ladies of the screen. Never knew anything about their leading men, tho. He knew all the leading ladies!

Claude Rains was one of the major stars of the period and Jean Gabin was one of the biggest stars in France. They were both excellent and made a number of movies.

[@c.a.savage5689]

​@@nedludd7622 Sadly, this isn't one of their more stellar films. Rains's character is called Nutsy? The whole scenario plays like something from a Popeye cartoon, minus the spinach...

Great to see that Jean Gabin could act just as well in English as in French. After escaping to the US after the Nazi invasion of France, he made a couple of films, then went back and fought with the Free French Forces taking part in the liberation of Paris.

Most unusual movie. Very slow story but it held my interest all the way through. Ida Lapino was splendid in her role. Very unusual role for the great Claude Raines. But it was a good movie overall.

Never understood why Tiny was whipping Nutsy with a towel, why Nutsy suffered it from such a bozo. My man Claude Rains surely would have had a clever and effective counter. Did Robertson have this interaction in his book? How did he characterize it?

Is this a Love story??

[@marchpaxton3293]

Yes, this is a love story. It is also about redemption - overcoming the past to make a better life and becoming a better, perhaps more worthwhile, person. Apparently, neither of these people had ever been cared for or cared about. At the end, they have purpose in life - loving and caring for and about each other. And that, imo, is what life is all about - loving and caring for our fellow beings on this earth. The dog played an important part in that it showed that BoBo had a kind heart because that dog was devoted to and protective of him. It loved and protected BoBo because BoBo was good to him and so the dog was good to him in return. There is also a lot of depth to each of the featured characters. I am a movie buff and I had never seen this one before. I think it is excellent and the actors did wonderful jobs in their roles.

Who says it's real?? Have you never heard of stunt acting?? They "pretend" to hurt each other. Also, it's in the script for Pete's sake. I don't think this came as a surprise to the actors.
