"This Property Is Condemned"- Wish Me A Rainbow

This video is a tribute to one of my favorite Natalie Wood movies & it's called "This Property Is Condemned."
Natalie stars with Robert Redford in this movie based on a Tennessee Williams play about a railroad official(Redford) who comes to Dodson Mississippi to fire the men working for the railroad which is the town's main income so naturally when people find out why he's there he becomes a very unwelcome visitor & is attacked by the men in retaliation. Alva Starr(Natalie Wood) is the town flirt with stars in her eyes & when she meets Owen she falls in love but her mother doesn't approve of their relationship & causes them to break up & when Owen goes to New orleans without Alva she is heartbroken & angry so in a drunken rage she marries J.J. but Alva is determined to be with him so she joins him & all is well until Alva's mother visits & tells Owen about Alva's marriage to J.J. & about her robbing him..Alva is so distressed that she runs away in the rain & contracts Pnemonia & sadly dies.
In the scene where Natalie is drunk she actually got drunk for that scene & I think it just shows what a good actress she is.
If you would like to see this movie it is in my playlist so feel free to check it out.
Feel free to comment. God Bless!!

Love Natalie Wood. Her and Redford had a palpable chemistry in this beautiful and tragic movie.

[@pinkydogbear]

I love this movie. Natalie was so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@steveprice2718]

The very first movie I bought in 1986. Memories, ahhhhh, sweet memories!!!! A criminally under-rated film! One of my favorites!!!

[@jessiej5765]

My favorite movie of all time

[@DwayneETowns]

Who didn't fall in love with Natalie Wood from this movie!... she was naturally beautiful. the movie was out 1966 but I didn't see it till it came to television. I must have been about 12 or 13... the thing about it, I could feel all the emotion that was happening in it, the anger, the frustration the hopelessness in that town, and the sexual tension between Redford and Natalie,( Owen & Alva) man I was wanting them to get together but Alva died. I was so hurt even though it's only movie I can watch it today and still feel the same way.

[@Bronzepony4u]

This is a classic. i remember watching it on shag carpet in the early 70's and just fell in love with her and the movie. Today I own it and every few years I pull it out. Tennessee Williams is an true artist and Icon. Bravo! Thank you for posting this.

[@donnarachiele1226]

Im watching it tonight after many many years top on my Natalie Wood movies along with Splendor in the Grass

[@3kingsarewe]

This movie is a classic! One of my all time favorites.

[@waynesanchez6504]

More trivia: The girl in the torn, red gown is Birmingham native Mary Badham, who made her mark as "Scout", in "To Kill a Mockingbird", her first film. The boy is John Prevost. Old timers will recall that he starred with June Lockhart in the "Lassie" TV series, of the 1960's. This film was filmed in northern Mississippi and in and around New Orleans. When I go back to Jackson Square, I like to tell tourists about the Natalie Wood/Robert Redford scene around the reflecting pool you encounter, ad you exit St Louis Cathedral and enter Jackson Square. This little known film also features Charles Bronson and Robert Blake, better known as "Mickey" in the MGM "Little Rascals" shorts. Thank You for posting this excellent video. This IS an amazing, yet seemingly unknown movie. Shame

[@triciasheridan8097]

One of my favourite movies.. my daughter Natalie Boot was named after Natalie Wood, and the song WISH ME A RAINBOW became our song. and was a souce of solace and comfort to my Natalie while incarcerated in a henderson detention centre for 8 long months waiting to be deported to england for not having proper immigration paperwork after having lived in the usa for 45 years. i could do nothing more than send her OUR SONG. to comfort her ,,,,,, thank you Robert Redford and Natalie Wood !

[@MASep-bs5um]

What a wonderful tribute video to a movie classic and a song that is dear to my heart.. I remember watching this as a little girl and being mesmerized by the characters and the story. I'd always check the TV guide to see if it was playing and with each viewing I'd to write down more lyrics of this haunting melody. Decades after hearing it for the first time, it became the first "lullaby" I sang to my daughter. And here it is, January 1st 2021, she's now a college freshman and it's the first song I play in this new year. May this lovely melody usher in health and happiness to us all.

[@jim4146]

I forgot how beautiful this film is...have it on vhs and its been years since I''ve watched it. Looks like I have to go to Amazon and get it on dvd. Very underrated.

[@IncubusOfDeath]

I love this movie, Natalie Wood was so beautiful.....RIP Always...:(

[@kristineburbey4710]

One of her best

[@jamienewsome7978]

This is one of my top 5 all time favorite movies, and I have hummed and whistled this song for years. I decided today to Google the song, and was thrilled to find your video. Natalie Wood played tragic roles and her life ended so tragically as well. Another favorite is Splendor in the Grass. Thank you for posting!!!

[@dannywilson3314]

Our whole family adored Natalie Wood. She had a special beauty and innocence. This movie and Splendor In The Grass were our favorites. May she R.I.P.

[@melissajenniferjones9959]

Absolutely.....my favorite two movies too. So memorable and so bittersweet....just pierces the heart. But at the end of each movie, I'm so glad to have watched it...sort of like the story of the Thorn bird. God bless Natalie and all the talented actors in that movie. Rest in peace Natalie. 💖🌺

[@SpiritMQ]

Went straight to my heart 💘 One gem of a movie and I just watched it for the first time today... Beautiful Natalie Wood and gorgeous Robert Redford x Why don't they make movies like this today! Such a classic!

[@dichambers]

Love this movie and loved this song. I sang it to my daughter when she was a baby and it always calmed her and put her to sleep. I changed the words a bit so it was just for her. "wish me a rainbow, wish me a star. A wish you can wish me wherever you are. Tears for my pillow and stars for my eyes. I love you little Jeana, kiss, kiss night, night." She's 17 now and still remembers it.

[@nadiavencadachellum2521]

Beautiful Natalie

[@JuneLynn]

my favorite Natalie movie and I LOVE the song.....thanks so much for putting this video all together!!

[@PrinceOfMadness]

It's my favourite song from a film...ever. And Ms. Wood's, in my opinion, best performance. And these clips capture just how hauntingly lovely this film is. Thank you!

[@nicoleiram2703]

J'adore ce film quelle belle alchimie robert et natalie très beau couple deux grands talents j'aurais aimé une issue heureuse pour Alva et Owen

[@mpaxton8991]

Mary Badham was precious in everything she played in. I was so happy to meet her. Shes folks like everyone else and so friendly and likeable.

[@kathleendragoo9070]

One of my absolutely most favorite movies. ❣️

[@godzilla8462]

I love Willie (Mary Badham) singing this song ,she has a beautiful voice.

[@lbags8177]

Thanks, BadZK. This always has been one of my favorite films and songs. And while Natalie Wood is lustrous, let's not forget the wonderful Mary Badham, who is just as perfect here as she was in To Kill A Mockingbird.

[@JamesDirks1]

Hands down, the most beautiful women ever!

[@washington3763]

I`ve been saying that since I was a young kid. I`m pushing sixty now and I`m still saying that. I can stare into her eyes forever. RIP Natasha.

[@jandeband]

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IVE EVER SEEN

[@melissajenniferjones9959]

Absolutely ❤️🌹

[@univibe23]

Natalie at her most stunning!!

[@thejimm2009]

Hi, Katie. Great video. Natalie will always be the little girl in Miracle on 34th Street to me. Take care. :-)

[@BadZKarma99]

I agree with you the song is a beautiful song & Natalie performance in the movie was magnificent. You are very welcome I am glad you enjoyed my video! God Bless! :)

[@SpiritMQ]

My heart just sank watching it again ...

[@SaraJones50]

Loved this movie, I just watched it for the very first time on NetFlix after reading about it in a new Biography about Robert Redford.

[@jandeband]

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I EVER SAW

[@kristineburbey4710]

I love this movie but sad ending

[@dorischristie7497]

I loved this movie !

[@louisadrill7060]

she possessed inner beauty and outer beauty

[@IncubusOfDeath]

Thank you! I've always loved this movie as a kid...........:)

[@WitoldBanasik]

Thank you for the poignant remainder. The dramatic talent and charm of Natalie and the charismatic composure of Robert Redford complemented each other. Great, timeless story, iconic actors; Bronson, Reid also including. Too bad Natalie was underestimated as a dramatic actress (no Oscar for her part in "Splendor in the grass" and for this movie for example)... well let alone she fell in love with some pathetic megalomaniacs. The rest is history anyway...

[@KellyGreen5555]

Thank you for this beautiful vid...such an underappreciated gem of a film.

[@jandeband]

one of the best all time movies

[@GESgeorgie69]

I loved this movie, thank you for sending this to me. George

Thank you very much I am glad you liked it! :) Katie =^..^=

[@BadZKarma99]

@KellyGreen5555 You are very welcome Kelly!! I really love this film too & I wish it was more appreciated. Natalie & Robert had a great chemistry in the film & Natalie really lights up the screen. I have seen this movie tons of times & never get tired of it. God Bless!! Katie =^,,^=

[@stancarpenter8854]

This song makes me cry. And the tears are not of the crocodile. SRC 5/12/2020 P.S. I took my medication and I took it on time. It is 2:23 PM approximately ... during the COVID-19 Era in American Film History.

[@BadZKarma99]

@1cherrylane You know you're right she does look just like Catherine Zeta Jones in that clip. You're welcome..I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!! I love romantic movies & the pairing of Natalie & Robert was like you say magical!! :) Thank you for your kind words for Natalie...I miss her too. RIP Natalie. Katie =^,,^=

I love this movie. I wish it were on KZbin. :'(

[@miasummer]

Maravillosa

[@dsjump]

Does anybody realize the little sister is "Scout" from "To Kill a Mockingbird" and the boy is "Timmy" from the TV show "Lassie"? If you do, you're probably on Social Security.

[@songbirdy]

+Steve Jump Do you know of the back story on this as far as all the writers going nuts writing various drafts of the screenplay (the 15 minute Williams play seemed to be more of how Alva and Owen met). But there is another ending and it was changed although just as sad really.

[@1mayeye2]

+Steve Jump Not quite, just a movie buff!

[@songbirdy]

In another ending it had Alva working the RR station, which I would have even hated more than this ending. I was always a little mad at Owen for not being totally on Alva's side. Maybe if he hadn't had given her that look right before she ran out the door in the rain and/or if Willie had mentioned that in the end "Owen never left her side" or something to that affect it would have somehow not have seemed so sad.

[@NickAndTommyFight]

Eighteen years old and realized that.. Also remember seeing you comment on the "Robert Redford and Natalie Wood" video themed too "We've only just begun- The Carpenters", despite your criticism of this being a "2nd rate Tennessee Williams movie" seems you must've enjoyed it a bit too be looking up all these videos about it.

[@TheBabashee]

Steve Jump ; Yes on both counts!

[@LeCommedieDellArte]

Thank you, very much ! :) WISH ME A RAINBOW From the film "This Property Is Condemned" 1966 With Natalie Wood, Robert Redford (Words and Music by: Ray Evans, Jay Livingston) Wish me a rainbow and wish me the stars All this you can give me Wherever you are And dreams for my pillow And stars for my eyes And a masquerade ball Where our love wins first prize Wish me red roses and yellow balloons And caress us whirling To gay dancing tunes I want all these treasures The most you can give So wish me a rainbow As long as I live All my tomorrows Depend on your love So wish me a rainbow above All my tomorrows Depend on your love So wish me a rainbow above

[@IncubusOfDeath]

LeCommedieDellArte I've always loved this song.....I think it's "Black Sequins" not "caress us".....but thank you for the words :)

[@mensahcarrelle]

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a pretty woman but IMO Natalie Goddess Wood was definitely in a league of her own.

[@TheAndrevantonder]

Lovely! Also listen to the version by Virginia Lee, South African singer, who had a big hit of her version of Wish me a Rainbow in South Africa. Also posted on KZbin

Natalie is a beautiful Russian beauty

[@BadZKarma99]

@leudrerrep Hey Stu!! I'm glad you liked my video so much!! :) I had a feeling that you didn't get it so I figured I'd send it again..YT always has some kind of glitch..LOL!! I can't get the song out of my head either but that's how it is with all my videos because I go over them so many times that I permanantly have the song stuck in my head so I know what you mean but with a great song it's o.k. :) Great to see ya!! God Bless!! Katie =^..^=

[@tomjosh01]

Robert Redford was perfect, Natalie was natalie. Learn from this, wish for the best but don't be greedy.

I don't mind his haircut. In fact I see no problem with it, no problem at aaaall.

[@MoHawk_1970]

Is that Astrud Gilberto I hear?

[@KellyGreen5555]

@1cherrylane I think Catherine Zeta has a pretty face, but Natalie possessed a classically beautiful one. Natalie also had such nuance and humour in her acting; I think Zeta Jones lacks both.

[@tammycampbell7797]

KellyGreen5555 I always though Alyssa Milano resembled Natalie.

[@aspenrebel]

Oh OK, I remember this movie now. That little girl at the beginning of this clip was weird!!

[@oharajohnsom3457]

It's sad special effects had taking control of movie industry's!

[@Daisy-lw6we]

What a gorgeous couple! Why does Alba have to die?

[@therealmagicunicorn7031]

[@donnarachiele1226]

It was Alva sad ending though .
