Rare 1951 Film The Guy Who Came Back | Starring Linda Darnell | Paul Douglas~And Joan Bennett.

Linda Darnell, one of five children of a postal clerk, grew up fast. At 11, she was modeling clothes, giving her age as 16. At 13, she was appearing on the stage with little theater groups. Her mother encouraged her to audition when Hollywood talent scouts came to Dallas. She went to California and when the studio found out how young she really was, she was sent home and told to come back when she was 15. Her fourth film, Star Dust (1940), was based on this real life experience. It was Star Dust (1940) that Darnell was watching the night of April 9, 1965, at the home of her former secretary, located in Glenview, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The house caught on fire in the early hours of the next morning and Darnell died that afternoon in Cook County Hospital. The character she played in one of her best known roles, Forever Amber (1947) survived the London fire, the plague and the perils of being the mistress of the English king, Charles II.

Linda Darnell and Joan Bennett BOTH? I must be dead and gone to heaven.

LINDA DARNELL IS SO BEAUTIFUL......................

She was no Marie Dressler in the looks dept, but I will admit that Linda was quite a lovely lady.

A great sports/love drama starring three great actors. Linda Darnell was gorgeous & one of my favorite stars from the Hollywood studio era.

Linda Darnell, Rita Hayworth, Maureen O'Harra. I saw them in the nineteen forties!! I still remember those beautiful ladies! I am now 82.

I'm almost a decade younger than you so I guess you saw them when they were in their prime in realtime. I envy you that, I only saw them in tv reruns.

A most wonderful film of true love, overcoming great difficulty, and fighting one's way through to the end. A masterpiece really! Thank you.

One of the great child actors Billy Gray, a few years before Father Knows Best moved from radio to TV and he became famous in the role of Buzz Anderson, he was a natural in every movie he was in.

[@BrennanDylan]

Very good script - truthful in my opinion, very emotional like riding a rollercoaster into hell but coming out of the torment a better man. The actors were nothing short of amazing with great chemistry. And in the end everyone got what they needed. Thank you for sharing this piece of very fine art. I've never seen like it. As unique artistically as Hitchcock's Psycho

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

Loved this movie! What a cast! It was heartwarming the way he played for his son and marriage. I have always loved Paul Douglas and he was great in this movie. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@eveyholmes]

I have enjoyed old black and white films of the 30s, 40s and early 50s since I was 12 years of age. Of course several were broadcasted on late tv. I am 80 years of age and an actress, dancer and singer performing in various venues. I still enjoy those 30s, 40s and very early 50s films. Paul Douglas and Linda Darnell were great in the 1949 film "Letter to Three Wives".

TY for this oldie, but goodie with Paul Douglas. Can U even imagine asking our pampered millionaire football players to play in snow like that...yet at one time all the teams did!

[@jubalcalif9100]

Thank you very much for uploading the whole movie for us to enjoy. To be honest I NEVER heard of this 1951 drama before now. And I thought I was familiar with all the films the three leads (Paul Douglas, Linda Darnell & Joan Bennett) had made ! Quite heartwarming. The youngster playing the son (Billy Gray) appeared in another 1951 Fox movie....which was a huge box office hit : "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

[@browill9]

An awesome film. Love a good ending 👏 👏 👏

[@victorwadsworth821]

He did the original Angeles in the Outfield.

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Going to find that next.. Wonderful charcters!

[@jubalcalif9100]

Yes ! He was going to play a baseball manager in an episode of The Twilight Zone in the late 50s but passed away from a sudden massive heart attack. Veteran character actor Jack Warden stepped in to replace him. Also, Paul had signed a contract to play philandering executive Jeff Sheldrake in Billy Wilder's feature film "The Apartment" (opposite Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine). Fred MacMurray (who had worked with Billy in 1944's "Double Indemnity") stepped in to do the role. What a wonderful actor & sweet man Paul Douglas was. He left us much too soon.... :-(
