The Green Promise (1949) NATALIE WOOD

A CLASSIC TIME CAPSULE OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT
Stars: Walter Brennan, Marguerite Chapman, Natalie Wood
Director: William D. Russell
Following the ecological demise of his last farm, an aging widower buys a new farm but refuses the advice of his four children to adapt to modern ways. An adorable Natalie Wood, just 2 years after her unforgettable performance in "Miracle on 34th Street," steals almost scene as the youngest daughter who believes the 4-H club will be their salvation.

[@suehofkamp8594]

PizzaFlix you did it again…..another great movie from my childhood. Natalie Wood was so good in this movie and who doesn’t like Walter Brennan? Natalie Wood said in a interview that she nearly drowned in the bridge scene and feared water for the rest of her life. She never learned to swim because of her fear. It’s ironic that is exactly how she died…..allegedly.

[@sheristewart3940]

Yeah, I don't believe for one minute that in the middle of the night she got into a dingy alone. Robert Wagner has never told us exactly what happened that night.

[@jthepickle7]

As you say...allegedly. Such a delicate flower of a woman, Natalie. I truly hope she had a good time while she was here.

[@raymondwitter7650]

Robert Wagner killed her echoing a film wher he killed a woman. Natalie filmed Brainstorm with Christopher Walken. All three of them were on a boat. Supposedly she walked into a room and saw walken and wagner having sex. Wagner, fearing she would talk killed her. I think she threatened to talk so they might both have plannned to off her. 😢

[@sheristewart3940]

@@raymondwitter7650 yeah, that's what most likely happened. I also learned from a documentary on the subject that Wagner and Wood were heard having a heated argument that suddenly went silent. Oh, I know what movie to which you're referring, but I can't recall the title. Wagner pushes his pregnant girlfriend off a building to her death. Then later he begins dating her wealthy best friend, and almost does her in by attempting to push her off a cliff at her father's quarry ~ a real nail-biter!

Natalie was a great talent at every age. Gone too soon. The face of an angel.

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

I saw this beautiful film many years ago, but seeing it now has so much more impact. Contrast this world to the one we're living in now. This country was once such a wonderful place, full of wonderful people. I remember 4-H. It used to be everywhere up to the 1970s. But it came to be regarded as corny and unhip and the kids turned into dope-smoking punks. Now they're doing meth and fentanyl. When Natalie Wood's character was taking the 4-H pledge, I was tearing up, in these realizations of what we've lost.

[@barbaradace7952]

4-H is still all over the place in rural areas, and even in cities; one of my neighbors raised a miniature pony as a 4-H project in a typical suburban yard, and my many country cousins all participated in 4-H. And our country is still a wonderful place...you just wouldn't know it if you spend too much time watching the news media (Motto: "If it bleeds, it leads"). Back then, the vast majority of the media largely portrayed happy endings-remember what a shock movies like "Bonnie and Clyde" were when they first came out?-but there were plenty of problems that matched or exceeded what we have today: deep rooted racism, sexism, and habitual addiction (smoking and alcoholism) as a cultural norm, for a few examples. It's just that if you weren't personally affected by them, you didn't hear about them-now you hear about *everything*

[@shawneenhammer4241]

​@@barbaradace7952 yes what's crazy is that there were so many great people who died because of drugs nobody really talk about the problem and then as it got worse doctors figure it out how they could make money off of that addiction and they just kept pumping whatever star full of whatever medication that they wanted to keep them addicted to keep getting their Hollywood paycheck. There were a lot of shady doctors making money off of people that where in the spotlight raking it in. back then just like now morphine and heroin were super big problem. People were just more apt to keep it a secret for whoever they were getting their paycheck from that way their Golden goose wouldn't be the wiser that their big paychecks were divided off to doctors. Yes I guess maybe a lot of people don't realize 4-H is still quite a big deal in quite a few places. ✌️♥️🌎🌍🌏🌌🌠🫵🥰🥰 There are a lot of great young adults and children in our world. ♥️♥️♥️

[@jerilynnwilson930]

I couldn't agree more. I believe we as American people are still good, honest and giving people. It manifests when there is a disaster of some sort. We pull together, we assist any way we can. If the "powers that be" would just but out of our personal affairs we could return to our former glory. I pray for that every day....

[@deboraholsen2504]

The same was true with Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls for so many years on Little House on the Prairie. She was best as a child actress. When she’d finished puberty, something changed about her acting quality and naturalness. Still good, but much better talent as a child. I think Natalie Wood was still great at acting in her roles as an adult, but I do observe that she definitely had a natural talent as a child.

I’m 80 years old and 6 when this film was made. My daddy was a coal miner and his greatest fear was drowning down in the mine if a rush of water flooded the mine. To this day, I have a fear of deep, dirty water. Why, because a year before when I was 5yo, my two older brothers took me out in a canoe, tossed me out into the water to teach me how to swim. I screamed before I hit the water and sank down into the murky bottom of the manmade lake. I don’t remember much but I can recall the horror of drowning as my heart stopped. My daddy witnessed this whole event as my brother jumped in and pulled my body up to the surface and was able to resuscitate me. Two years later, when I was 7yo, my daddy was killed in a mining accident. That was 73 years ago and I’m terrified to be close to any deep water. If Natalie was as panicked as I get around deep water, I can understand how she was and how she had a panic attack and drowned when she tried to get back to shore and safety. Yes, the fear of drowning is a powerful emotion and she couldn’t escape from her demon , like I can’t from mine. RIP Natalie, as tears run down my cheeks.

[@alipalification]

Dear Robert, it saddens me to hear your story entwined with that of Natalie Wood. I understand you. When I was very little, my cousins pushed me into the deep water of a swimming pool, I could not swim and I could have drowned. I was saved, but I had fear of water and have never been able to jump or dive into water, although I eventually learnt to swim around 15 years after the incident. I have never been comfortable around water. It's a tragic story indeed, your father died so very young, how awful it must have been for you. Natalie must have died indeed in a panic attack, just too tragic. I'm so sorry.....

[@robertmiller3810]

@@alipalification Thank you for your kind words. You bring up a valid point in my life and Natalie’s. You yourself carry that same panicked moment with you for the rest of your life. That moment is the instant you hit the water and go under. It’s called the fight or flight reflex your brain has that kicks in. Whether to fight or run in any given moment of panic. The instant I hit the water and began to sink, with every ounce of power I had I struggled to get back to the surface. Only to inhale water instead of air and went down for the second and last time. Since you unknowingly remember your fight or flight moment and are still bothered by it, it will be a part of you till the day you die. Natalie almost drowned in the scene where the bridge breaks, her moment never left her and it most likely killed her when she actually drowned. The brain is a powerful part of the human body, it can heal it or self destruct and kill it. Thank you again.

My belief about her death: She walked in on RJ and Walken on the boat that fateful night. She was so distraught she really did try to leave in a hurry and it just ended so badly. Or she told them both she was going to tell all and they offed her. When I learned of her death, it was the oddest thing...I felt deeply sad, almost as if I'd lost a sister. Of course, I'd never met her at all. What a beautiful soul, Natalie Wood.

Just wonderful movie💓

What a great movie. I have always loved Natalie Wood as a child actress she was so remarkable. She never seemed to be just playing a part she truly became the character she was portraying from Miracle on 34th street and Splendor in the Grass. In this movie The Green Promise. The scene where a young Natalie Wood is supposed to run across a bridge. She was told that the bridge would collapse after she got to the other side, but there was an accident and the bridge collapsed while she was still on it. She broke her wrist and it never healed properly. She always wore Big chunky Bracelets in movies and real life to hide a protruding bone as she never had it fixed properly. Bless her soul for dying the way she did. I had a near death drowning experience at age 15 I will never forget the fear of fighting for a breath of air. Very scary but I had the most Amazing near death experience that helped me to not be afraid to die, My short life flashed in front of me like I was saying goodbye then I was looking at an angel across from me she was floating in the water in front of me when I was giving up and my life force soul was pulled from me and I left my body and I was embraced by her and watched myself falling into the 25 foot drop off until I was saved. that was 50 years ago. Needless to say I am not a water person. I Love dipping my feet but that's it. Natalie was a courageous child and an amazing actress.

Natalie broke her wrist during the broken bridge scene of this film. It left her wrist deformed and she took to wearing wide bracelets to conceal it for the rest of her life.

I've never seen him play such a hateful person. He always played such likeable characters. He played a jerk very well here.

[@jessicamartinez3613]

And that Abby was also a jerk!

A truly great film. Perfect in all ways. Love the story and acting was wonderful.

Natalie was such a very talented actress both as a child and an adult. She was also such a pretty child and an adult.

I can’t pass up the remark that one of the men made that the preacher preached at them instead of just talking to them. In Isiah 1:18 it says “Come let us reason together”. Our ministers speak to our hearts, not try to beat it into our heads.

I didnt know of this one of natalie wood movies. I loved her even after her husband did the unthinkable thing to her but he will answer to God

[@donnacopper7694]

Terrible if you!

[@winonamassingill7895]

To the person who commented that Audrea Hepburn was her favorite actress but changed to Natalie Wood. I watched Andrea Hepburn and Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday and the ending of that movie is the saddest ending that I’ve ever seen. The sadness in his expression as he watched her having to leave broke my heart. 💔💔💔💔💔

[@shelleymcafee8197]

Wonderful story and classic film! Thank-You, this one’s going in My file of ‘Favourites’!

[@bonniebrown6960]

This such a good movie. I wish they still made movies like this. I hate that Natalie Wood broke her wrist while they were making this movie though. Poor girl, you know that she was in pain. If it's really true, it wasn't right that her mother wouldn't let the doctor take care of her wrist. That was wrong of her. It's sad to know she was so scared of water and that's how she ended up passing away. She was always such a beautifu girl. I remember hearing that her and Elvis were friends for a while. She had two shirts made for him when he went back to Tupelo to put on a concert back in the late 50's.
