You Came Along (1945) directed by John Farrow screenplay by Ayn Rand

You Came Along (working title Don't Ever Grieve Me) is a 1945 romantic comedy-drama film set in World War II, directed by John Farrow. The original Robert Smith screenplay was rewritten by Ayn Rand. You Came Along stars Robert Cummings and in her film debut, Lizabeth Scott.
The plot involves a US Army Air Forces (USAAF) officer who tries to hide his terminal medical condition from a U.S. Treasury Department public relations staff member, whom he just met before a war bond drive. They become romantically involved, agreeing it's "just fun up in the air." When she finds out the truth, she makes a fateful decision to make the most of the little time they have together.

I really like Robert Cummings I’m happy I found your channel. There are so many great old movies, it’s nice to find a rare one, like this thanks.

I certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion !

Film debut for Lizbeth. She played very well. Thank you DB

[@jubalcalif9100]

My sentiments exactly !

Directed by Mia Farrow's dad, starring Bob Cummings, costumes by Edith Head, screenplay by Ayn Rand -- I don't care what it's about, I'm all in!

Love Ann Rand! She was sooooo right…

[@doreekaplan2589]

Like Lisbeth. Great with Dan Duryea.

[@ge0rgeharris218]

Ayn Rand was a crank! Objectivism is nothing more that being self-centered and selfish! And she didn't study philosophy, she studied history at Russian University!

Such good, funny, snappy writing!

Thank you for this!!! I have been waiting for years to see this again!

A fun movie that doesn't doesn't disregard the heroics of our servicemen. Well done!

Cummings was a real-life pilot: in the '50s his feelgood doctor made him an amphetamine addict for the rest of his life.

[@doreekaplan2589]

Only the person putting pills in their own mouth can "make them become an addict". Modern pilots like my friend who flew 13 years in the air force are given a pill in the morning an a pill at night every day they fly. Taking them that many years he did not become addicted.

NOT in this age ! Flyers may take absolutely NO medication or they''re GROUNDED (DNIF)

@@doreekaplan2589 Cummings didn't know that the miracle "vitamin" pills contained amphetamine: they "worked" and he was enthusiastic about them. Other 'celebrities' fell for the same trick. As for being a pilot, maybe Cummings avoided any screening for drugs (and he wouldn't have declared that he was taking banned drugs that he didn't know he was taking). Maybe any screening was haphazard or non-existent in the '50s.

[@None-zc5vg]

@@pmullins1495 Cummings was unaware that his miracle-worker doctor was a fake, and he believed he was taking vitamin pills that would help him stay young and vital. Cummings had no idea that his 'vitality' was in fact stemming from drug addiction.

@@doreekaplan2589 You got it.. & Glad you point it out... Statements like that of None-zc5vg... are precisely how we have come to live in a NANNY state.. Benjamin Franklin..

Good!

Good flick, very cool to know Ayn Rand wrote this (I'm sure she did not have total Liberty though).

[@jamy8575]

"total Liberty"?

[@The-F.R.E.E.-J.]

@@jamy8575 I am very familiar w/ Ayn Rand's work, this is not in line w/ her attitude about fiction.

[@jamy8575]

Premise With; I am grateful that you put up this movie for the Emma Matzo habitué, such that I am. Maybe you could reload this WITH attention to VOLUME... The sound is so slight - hard to decipher. Regardless -Thankful you did & if you have anymore of her 23 movies... please repeat.

I missed something. Why did he go to the hospital and what did he die of?

[@elaineglenden826]

Hello! Can anybody answer my question?

[@carolsimon9203]

​@@elaineglenden826I can only pick up on a leg wound that not's healing properly with his white cell/corpuscle count increasing for no apparent reason indicating a virulent infection. I'm a bit puzzled too and puzzled as to why he married her if he knew he was dying. I hope that soneone else can untangle it better than that .

[@scmsales3420]

I think the Dr who stopped at the table where Shakespeare and Ivy were spilled the beans… that sounded like Bob had Lymphoma. He was most likely going to die quickly. The Flight Surgeon knew of the medical condition and pulled him in to go to the hospital. Possibly did some tests that day Bob got the note to report to the surgeon. Can’t have him flying a plane if about to be so weak with white blood cells low.

1:40 excessive unnatural secular fantasy sentimentality "of the Afterlife (eternity)" shamefully without reference to Heaven nor Christ Jesus. (godless hollywood cop-out) 😕
