Sean Connery & Gina Lollobrigida, Woman Of Straw 1964

[@paulc652]

Back when movies had plot twist so deep a miner couldn't see the bottom until the last scene. Thank you for posting this movie

[@vladtepes97]

the coal miner's relative saw it on that tape.

[@olasmith8132]

Absolute gem of a movie, thank you Mr. Valentine for your excellent work in enabling us to enjoy such wonderful few hours of respite from stressful days.

[@pphedup]

Yes, thank you!

[@zvonimirvidovic1714]

I agree! Just said the same thing! True gem! Totally underrated!

[@carefulconsumer8682]

No wonder they called this era "The Golden Age of Cinema."

[@metaphoric-j1c]

The plot was marvellous. The acting of Sean and Gena was outstanding. Other actors were excellent in their performances. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@fifthbusiness1678]

With respect, Meta, Sean was Sean Connery/James Bond - range was never his thing. But Gina was quite good in this, and Sir Ralph was, as always, brilliant. Surprising decent film.

[@abbashussein6161]

Great casting Gina and Sean Connery

[@johnappleby405]

And Ralph Richardson. I haven’t seen this since it was screened on TV in the early seventies. Good to watch it again.

[@williamriley-le9zo]

A very good movie. Talk about plot twists. Man, they sure as hell do not make them like this any more. It's a pity that we have lost talented writers, directors, actors, & actresses such as these. None of the crap that's made today can compare. Even if a modern writer and director were to lift a story from an old book like this one, I seriously doubt they could make it as well. Thank you for showing this movie.

[@jomama5186]

Bravo ! My poor brain was so starved for a great movie. This was perfect ! Wow !!!

[@LeonardMichael-j1c]

Hi there 😊

[@philfletcher3434]

A great storyline from start to finish and I've never heard of this great film before.

[@robincutti4596]

Great cast, Richardson, handsome Connery and the most beautiful Italian actress Lollobrigida…. This was the time when movie, stars and production were at their best…not rap noise or vulgarity!❤🇮🇹🌹✨🇬🇧

MASTERPIECE, pure and SIMPLE, AND VERY COMPLEX!

[@Karin-tl5pw]

What an outstanding movie! Thank you so much for uploading it.

[@DG-rp2fe]

Great movie, need more like this. Connery playing himself as he backhands Gina. Love it how he got it in the end. Gina Lollabrigida a great actress, underrated by Hollywood.

[@senshing3463]

What a fantastic movie. Thank you for posting it. Women are more emotional than men

[@seamus6994]

A few years earlier, Gina was dubbed The most Beautiful Woman in the World. This was one of the few movies where she was made to dress down, and she was still a striking beauty. She was also considered an International Sex Symbol. She's one of the few actresses to truly look and be Beautiful and Sexy well into her 60's. A very good actress and later in life, a well known Photojournalist. Quite a lady.......

[@fifthbusiness1678]

“… where she was ‘made’ to dress down, and she was ‘still’ a striking beauty?” Sorry, but there’s a lot there that is just silly.

[@jamesclark9347]

Got top billing over Connery

[@ukmenon13]

Truly an excellent movie, great cast & acting by all actors, Ralph Richardson is perfect in that role, Gina is genuinely good & Sean Connery is diabolical here!. Quite underrated at the time & tanked at the box office, wonder why!!. It does have a Hitchcock touch to it too!. Thanks for uploading, Mr.Valentine!.👌🙏

[@acerdise]

I highly recommend this which I watched at the cinema before there was KZbin.. It is worth repeat viewing.

[@doreen0]

Wow, what an excellent movie love the ending what a surprise that was thank you so much for the uploading sharing Mr valentine 👍🏼‼️😁🇨🇦

[@LeonardMichael-j1c]

Hi Doreen 😊

[@ElkoJohn]

Excellent movie thank you

[@bowernerkristiansen82]

An unusual film with a very different Sean Connery who you otherwise feel you know so well in the role of James Bond. In this film he suddenly presents a completely different side of human nature where malice and calculation are the predominant character traits. Great acting art. Gina Lollobrigida with her gentle and upright appearance is just the perfect counterpoint to an unappealing and ruthless person

[@ukmenon13]

You nailed it, summed it up perfectly, couldn’t have agreed more!.👌🙏

[@mehboobkareem9897]

That was really a intriguing and fantastic movie. I feel at a loss for I've been never able to have knowledge of or seen this movie all these years. it's enticingly engaging..

Great acting from Sean Connery and Gina Lolobrigida.This was such a twisted plot,that I never would have guessed.Such a pleasure to watch the older movies.

[@ravisriram6746]

Remember seeing this many years ago. It was one of Connery's best films, with outstanding performances by Gina Lollabrigida and Sir Ralph Richardson, as well.

The music soothes over the bad behavior we see, but how he treats his servants is inexcusable.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Yes on the surface the treatment may seem bad, wicked or not ethical. But he pays them and they stay. For all any one could know they may receive double conditional to accepting such behaviour. Therefore not that excusable. But LOL. IDK.

[@light279]

For that reason I could NOT watch this movie again. I saw it when I was a kid and I REMEMBER the racism. I tried watching it again because it is a " good " movie but as soon as it got to around eleven minutes or so I turned OFF. I had enough of the degradation of black people That's the English for you...some of the most pompous and INSECURE people in the world.

[@jennyp6623]

Marvelous movie! Better than most Hitchcock movies!🎉😅

[@brianwheeldon4643]

So interesting how excellent films like this reflect the culture and values of a society... it's turning the mirror on the British culture of 60 years ago as it was still warm on its death bed. The aristrocracy as little dictators, and everyone else the 'other' to be accused, vilified and turned into less than human. The death of the old empire. The same that affects the US empire in 2024. Thanks for the upload, loved it.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Many of The Great Estates predate The Birth of The Empire (Victorian). And as with in the film the law allows hereditary transfer of wealth and titles. So Estates can stay with in a family for centurys. An Englishman's home is his castle. There fore the owner of a flat in a tenement block can be the herr Director. King in Charge and little dictator as you may say. If he pays the bills- he is technically incharge and responsible. I have no problems at all accepting that the Great Estate Owners or owners of their own homes are those who give the orders (If they so choose) with in their home or to those yhey have employed. But no-'' the others' to be accused, vilified and turned into less than human', No! I do not agree with that. People have rights and there are limitations.

[@fredneecher1746]

@@MikeGreenwood51 Indeed, those behind the Empire tended not to be the aristocracy at all, but a new class of traders and business people. The Raj began as a trading venture by the East India Company in the 18th century while the African territories were colonised much later as a way to satisfy venture capitalists by replacing slavery (a traditional practice throughout Africa) with the rules of classical economics.

Born and raised in Hollywood the quality of this film reminded me of my youth before TV when our family would go every couple of weeks to Hollywood Blvd. and watch movies in the beautiful Pantages, Egyptian and Chinese Theaters and of course the news reels of the current situation of our brave troops fighting in WW11. My favorite was always the cartoons and thank the good Lord that was before Mickey wore lipstick.

beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. In Northern Europe they may pay attention to her, but in Southern Europe she is as common as the sea and the sun.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

@@anastassiosperakis2869 So your Southern Europians see The Sun & Oceans as common rather that the Great Exceptional Majesty that sustains our lives with it's warmth and splendid radiance. So the popularity of the Riviera, The Greek Pelopenese, The Argave. Thoses du not attract millions every year for their warnth, hospitality and magificance.

Women of Straw. Great movie still, after 58 years. Uncle Richmond's dislike for everyone kept me on edge, thinking that Uncle Richmond might have pushed someone to far and something might happen. In the meantime, Sean and Gina's acting were brilliant. Everyone involved had a great part and played it very well throughout. Sean is perfect for movies like this. I have always admired his suave and debonair looks and ways. I had a feeling Maria did not kill Uncle Richmond. It all happened in the end, and they were just in time. 👍 Thank you
