Rites of Spring (Four Star Playhouse--1956) Starring David Niven

[@debbiehenri345]

A lot of people commend David Niven for his gentlemanly presence on the screen, but he was also the same off-screen. I knew someone who had a friend involved in movie production, and he said David Niven would frequently spend time with the crew, taking tea-breaks, chatting and playing cards with camera-men, sound recordists, etc. He was as popular and well respected by those who worked behind the scenes and those who worked with him on stage.

[@emilyannfrancesmay3919]

Very good story! It kept me interested all the way through. I wasn't sure how it would end. Being that everyone ended up where they should be I am delighted to have watched this!

[@janfromseattle]

I just love David Niven. He was such a versatile actor. One of my favorite films of his is Powell and Pressburger’s “A Matter of Life and Death.” I highly recommend it should you have the chance to see it! Another great adaptation of a play is “Separate Tables.”

[@Autumn-Mist]

This should have been entitled head games. Thanks 4 the upload.

[@edwardrodgers9383]

David Niven - the romantic!💕

[@binduzutshi2874]

I found it so funny when she said he always ambushes me. His forebears were Indians. Ha ha. I always enjoy David Niven's movies.

[@wtsnxt-kari509]

David Niven also wrote three fantastic books that were both him spilling tea and a wicked sense of humor 😂

[@JehanineMelmoth]

This is a joy. David was sublime - though very rude about Senor Valdez!

[@raylenenielsen5943]

Seems like there’s a lot of things about jealous husbands, but now let’s have some about jealous wives. David Niven is always good.

[@misfit2022]

Humorous little short with David Niven about the green eyed monster and even more enjoyable once I covered the clock on the left hand side

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Strange to have a party during the week!

[@elliebellie7816]

Not really. Wife stayed home all day planning and preparing. Hubby didn't have to be at work until 9AM by the next day. Not too rough for the men.

[@maryowen1722]

Very cute🥰

"stocks" are flowers of the genus Matthiola

Now - That's Entertainment!

[@tefinnegan5239]

Cute.

[@chicagogyrl4846]

It’s very hard to find anything to watch because you don’t have your videos on playlists!

[@dadodydo]

Ill-suited wife for better or worse, señora hermosa. Very funny episode.

[@evepeabody4738]

I guess you meant Barbara Lawrence rather than Angie Dickinson...

[@rainbowranddy]

I didn't see no Angie Dickinson.

[@geoffreypiltz271]

@@rainbowranddy Neither did I but she's in the credits as T.V. Lady. This episode must have been edited.

[@scronx]

"stocks"?

[@deb7518]

I think in this context they mean filler...like the extra small plants they use in florist bouquets around the roses or other main flowers.

[@andrewhoward7200]

Stock roses, those tall rosey like things, single stem not bushy different colours.

[@Gennettor-nc8kx]

The trouble with Dvid Niven was that he had a kind, sophisticated, typically British Officer or Country Gentleman face - rather unbefitting most characters he played!

[@johnbroadway4196]

I can't help watching Great Actor's and we'll written dialogue in a script. This destroys anything wrote today. Yeah, I know. But ! If only we would return to how people spoke, before all the crass laziness in quick jabs in a knife fight. Always cutting everyone. As to say ' no one is cooler than I '. Yet how willfully dismal in how it is getting more like a rendition of hatefulness.

[@alpha-omega2362]

there's a lot of discrepancies in this story.....

[@joekabotz734]

We more then get it, " no broadcasting " along with the obnoxious time keeper.
