Green Dolphin Street [Remaster]

Good print; good story. With that cast, excellently performed.

I love ❤️ the movie its bringing you to a wonderful time in history. The special effects are great and thrilling for its time. A real pleasure to watch.

Was not sure what to expect when I ordered this old Hollywood Movie. But we enjoyed the quality transfer on to DVD and the melodrama especially the special effects.

I had always heard this was a wonderful movie for years but it never came up on TV so I rented it. Lana Turner is very good in this role, disappointed that Van Heflin's character didn't have much screen tie. The earthquake scene was excellent for that time period in filmmaking.

I caught this on TCM early one Saturday morning, and it took me completely by surprise. A globe trotting story that deals with the concept that true love might be right in front of you.So many great scenes. Spoilers (not really)-- The scene where Margaritte's mother dies is heart breaking as is the dying confession of true love to her husband. The wise old sea captian of the Green Dolphin who warns it is better to leave the drink alone "than to spend tommorrow counting all of yesterday's bottles". And Margaritte's final explaination of forgiveness to her sister - "I've given up nothing. I have been given everything."I'd love to see this one remade today. This is an epic romance, and not the light hearted rom-com stuff that invades the multiplexes every other weekend. Perhaps that is why these movies are so special. It's been said so often that it may sound cliche, but they really don't make them like this anymore.

This film almost screams out for color but I suspect that the special effects were deemed more realistic in black and white. And they are damned good, even by today's standards!Lana Turner once again proves she can act and even be sexy in outfits that are elegant but aren't especially flattering and the rest of the cast is perfect in their roles, especially Donna Reed, Edmond Gwenn, and Gladys George. Edmond and Gladys have a scene together that only a boulder wouldn't be moved by! The film is grade A melodrama and there's enough plot to fill several films, but there's action galore (An earthquake, tidal wave and a Mauri uprising), and a romantic triangle that somehow never gets too soggy. The movie is deeper than it appears on first viewing, in fact it's quite eloquent.The whole family can watch this together and find something to enjoy.P.S. The transfer to DVD is first rate as well!

Read the book by Elizabeth Goudge - FIRST!!!!The movie is fantastic with Lana Turner - but it is much more enjoyable having read the book. This book is based on a true story - look at the page in the front of the book.High adventure that begins near England and transports the reader to the wilds of Australia. The hard working, brave men and women in this story stand as an example to the sissified, nanny, baby boys and the useless women of our age that accompany them. They aren't perfect of course, but like examples in the Bible, their choices reflect their moral compass and redemption is a huge part of the story - as it should be for all of us.It's one of my top 5 books.

My mother, born in 1934, had a number of favorite movies. I was able to find a number of them on DVD over the years: Gigi, Oklahoma, Laura. But one that eluded me was Green Dolphin Street. It finally arrived (on VHS, I later bought the DVD) right before my mother got sick. I narrated the non-speaking parts when Mom was unable to watch the movie. Like her, I fell in love with the saga of it.It's overly dramatic, as many of our 1940's films are...but the depth of the characters shines through and I can see why Mom still wanted to watch it sixty years after the first time she may have seen it.If you enjoy a saga that spans years and countries, indulge in GDS and see what you think.

An old memory for my mother

I am very glad with the Spanish import DVD of Green Dolphin Street with excellent performances by Donna Reed, Lana Turner and Van Heflin in 1947. This DVD is very seldom to be found and on sale with Amazon.deI can recommend this DVD to future buyers.

Classic movie

Purchased this movie for my terminally ill mother in law as she wanted to see it again and it cheered her up for a little while

Disappointing. Very stagy and unrealistic in
