See R.G. Springsteen and Montgomery Pittman’s Come Next Spring (1956), Starring Ann Sheridan and Steve Cochran, with Walter Brennan and Edgar Buchanan, Uncut, for Free, and Without Commercial Interruptions, at the WEJB/NSU Theater!

Re-posted by N.S.

I’m winging it, here.

About a year ago, I read this movie’s EM>imdb page; a critic wrote at the time of its release that if the studio marketed it properly, it could be that year’s Marty, which had been released the previous year.

The other day, I looked to buy the DVD, but amazon said it was unavailable. However, a reviewer said the DVD quality was awful, but that it was available at YouTube. I’ve only seen about 15 minutes, but so far, so good.

Well, here's "Fort Apache-"

I recommended this site a while ago- nearly any movie you could want, in high quality- and there was no response, so let's try it again. To Hell with TCM!

To download, use this: https://pastedownload.com/29/

If it doesn't work, inquire and I will try to clarify.

I first saw "Come Next Spring" as a kid during its theatrical release as a second feature in 1956, and was greatly impressed by it. (My one reservation was finding the men’s fisticuffs alien to the behavior I’d witnessed among my Jewish relatives.)

Here is the review of the film that I wrote for Netflix back in Feb. 2011. At that time they posted pseudonymous signed reviews, with each reviewer known by a particular number, I recall. However, soon afterwards Netflix initiated a sort of Communist coup by deleting all identification for every single reviewer, past and present, so that readers could no longer find other reviews by the same writer. At that point I ceased writing reviews for them.

Come Next Spring

You rated this movie: 5.0
A lovely movie. The title phrase, repeated several times in the dialogue, is not a command but simply a variant of the saying, “When spring comes.” The story, set in rural Arkansas in 1927, concerns a man returning to the family he abandoned nine years earlier. Matt Ballot meets the young son he never knew he had, the daughter whose muteness he caused, and the bitter wife whose love he must win all over again. There are several other neighbors whose respect he must win as well in this tight-knit community. Dramatic highlights include a tornado that flattens their barn; an epic fistfight at the Halloween dance between Matt and his perennial rival Leroy Hightower (played by Sonny Tufts); and finally the dramatic rescue of his daughter Annie who is hanging on at the edge of a ravine. Sherry Jackson gives a superb performance as the mute child, which is saying something, considering the all-round excellence of the cast. Check the comments on IMDB for useful information on the making of the film. Suffice it to say here that it is a touching story of reconciliation and redemption. You will be happy you watched it. P.S.: I am amazed to see only one other N*****x member review of this wonderful film. (By contrast, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to date has garnered 1650.) A DVD release on Criterion would be ideal.

I clicked on the link last night and the films all seemed to be dubbed in German. This was not what I wanted.

The titles on the selections are in German(some),but the films,themselves,were in English.

There are usually multiple postings of the same movie, some dubbed into a foreign language, some with foreign subs added. But there's almost always a version in English, you just have to determine which. Usually the name of the poster gives it away (if it's posted by Mohammed Abdullah, it's probably foreign-subbed!).

Thanks, RM, but I couldn't find Fort Apache, the Bronx at that sight.

YIKES! I checked the link I posted and it came up "German language films"! Don't know why that happened but if you type in "Fort Apache the Bronx" (or any other title) in the search box on that page, I promise it will come up!
