Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur talking about Solar Power

on May 29 in Lowes DIY


A great scene for the movie, You Can’t Take it With You. In which Jimmy and Jean talk about The Politics of Fear, Solar Power, the secret to happiness, and falling in love. All in the space of five minutes with no cuts or edits. They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore

    Jimmy Stewart – sigh… I am so in love with you!

  • JuanMacready says:

    Stewart was FAR too old to play Lindbergh, who was a NAZI.

  • ProNorden says:

    @ukluv …. How would you describe Stewart’s sort?
    Both he an director Frank Capra were fairly strong Republicans, and Stewart attended Princeton, like his character Elwood P. Dowd in ‘Harvey’ Stewart was great in that great comedy as Dowd, and in Capra’s ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ as George Bailey.
    He was also great as Charles Lindbergh in a movie that wasn’t particularly, ‘The Spirit of St. Louis’, but it’s still worth seeing. And Lindbergh deserves a better biographical movie.

    PeterFirthFan is an idiot who has no idea what he’s talking about, I advise everyone to ignore his comments.

  • apban says:

    this scene just goes to show that it’s all just a little bit of history repeating

  • PeterFirthFan says:

    Stewart was a racist CUNT.

    Liar.

  • gennieann9 says:

    Can´t think of anything more magical and beautiful than this scene, Has me almost in tears out of shere happiness
    at the subttety of Stewart´s and Arthur´s acting. Unsurpassed.

  • PeterFirthFan says:

    He might have liked her but she hated him.

  • nexttimewelove51 says:

    Jean Arthur was Jimmy Stewart’s favorite leading lady to work with. Jimmy and Jean are my favorites ever.

  • PeterFirthFan says:

    That is the same book where Munn quotes Strode as saying that Stewart was a racist.

  • landosalemchainsaw says:

    during the filming of “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)” where a support actor referred to Woody Strode as “a nigger”. Lee Marvin told to the author “

  • landosalemchainsaw says:

    ive read several including Jimmy Stewart: The Truth Behind the Legend by Michael Munn that dismiss these accusations. For instance it says and I quote

  • PeterFirthFan says:

    Read any biography, he was just as racist as his close friend John Wayne.

  • landosalemchainsaw says:

    prove it

  • PeterFirthFan says:

    Actually Stewart was a racist.

  • Draw4You says:

    This scene is so wonderful and rare… It meanders slowly, like real life, which was quite rare even in ‘38, let alone now. It feels so natural to see young Jimmy Stewart, himself barely 5 years out of Princeton at that point, just talking so earnestly about something so important in such an unassumingly believable way. That was JS’s real gift, his ability to make written dialogue seem so true, and improvised. And that we’re seeing it now is a real tribute to Capra for capturing it for us.

  • WintersWar says:

    I’d add edward arnold…but that’s just me.

  • nautilu says:

    Really? I was in the play in 8th grade, too, and I was Rheba the housemaid. Would you happen to have gone to Sellers M. S. in Texas?

  • ObamaRules4Ever says:

    Read any biography. She HATED Stewart for his racism and far right-wing views. Donna Reed, also an activist liberal Democrat, never cared for him either.

  • ardenspanzers says:

    So you were personal friends of Jean Arthur? Think not my bi-polar brit child!

  • ardenspanzers says:

    You sure do not know either US history or our political history either. You are a a liar a racist a homophobe and an anti-semit, as you support liberal jew hates like sean penn and spike lee. From all the postings you do under all your troll names 4 I believe show signs of being bi-polor. So you may be showing early signs of mental illness. Grow up little man with the little closed mind!

  • FergusonFan says:

    The first time I saw this I was like: “Whaaat?!?! that guy is talking about SOLARPANNELS!!! …. in 1938!!!” lol

    Love that movie, love Capra, love Stewart, love Jean Arthur, Love Lionel Barrymore :D I guess I dont need to add any thing else
