The Green Promise (1949) - Full Movie - Colour

"The Green Promise" (1949), directed by William D. Russell, follows the Matthews family's journey after purchasing a farm. When the father sustains a serious injury, his four children are left to manage the farm. Deborah, the eldest daughter, and her younger sister Susan step up to lead the family, aided by the assistance of a charming local agricultural agent. As they navigate the challenges of running the farm and coping with their father's injury, they discover the importance of resilience, determination, and community support.

I have seen this movie many times and it is always enjoyable to watch. Walter Brennan was an amazing actor and young Natalie Woods was so talented. If life in the United States could only be like this again. Raising wholesome children on healthy food we grew ourselves. This is basically how I grew up in the 1970's on a 30 acre farm in rural South Carolina.

I miss the days of KINDNESS, COURTESY, esteeming others more than yourself, being humble, THAT IS ALL GONE

[@lisamarieva3514]

It is not all gone. It endures in special places and special people. Mostly in rural areas.

[@abigailhumes6646]

I truly enjoyed the whole movie! How refreshing to hear all our good values being woven into a beautiful life story. Stories today are so shallow and pleasure driven, they leave a viewer empty. Thank you for the movie.

Great family movie and awesome cast. I wish it had been turned into a series, i could watch this family for hours. ❤

Glad you enjoyed it. I see many classics that could easily be turned into series, maybe it will happen, you never know :)

[@SimonWard1]

Please be kind with the comments. I do my best and I know it’s not perfect. Each film takes between 8 and 20 hours to enhance, burning through a lot of electricity in the process. You get to watch them free and if you don’t like them, there are millions of movies you can watch on KZbin across many other channels. I work from home, a single PC doing all the work. I appreciate that you have come to the channel and hope you enjoy the movie. I know some people really don’t like colourisation and I did decide to do the entire collection in enhanced black and white (4k 60fps), KZbin removed my monetisation so I cannot earn back what I've paid out in electric and equipment. I have had no option but to remove all the black and white enhanced movies, I don't think KZbin understands the work I put into them and feel I did what other channels do, download from the archive and upload them to their channels without any work done. In the colourisation, I understand, there may be some grey ears, some of what looks like blue eyeliner on actors and some parts of colourisation that doesn’t turn out as good as I would like. I am doing my best and hope you appreciate the effort, thank you for watching :) If you have any requests, please let me know. As long as a film is in the public domain, I can enhance it in 4K and colourise it in HD.

@@jonance93 KZbin have taken away my ability to earn from what I do, leaving me in a financial mess as I invested all my time, money and energy into this project. I am destroyed.

These old movies are such fun to watch. 🙂 I wondered about the film advertising the 4-H Club,bso I looked it up snd found this statement about it: "The film was co-produced by Houston oilman Glenn McCarthy and leading man Robert Paige to display the concept and meaning of the 4-H Club and highlight farming issues such as soil erosion, government programs, and individual enterprise."

Love this movie. Back when neighbors helped neighbors. I remember hearing about 4H when I was younger but I thought it was only for farm kids who owned animals and horses. I had no idea they taught gardening, canning and sewing. Now I wish I had joined. No one ever talked much about what they did accept animals.

[@foofookachoo1136]
