Watch Cluny Brown For Free

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Maybe some day movie execs will realize that Americans can and do appreciate dry humor and witty dialog. That we do appreciate movies that deal with eccentric individualists rising above class inequities. I really don't see that Great Britain or Spain are more open minded to these issues. But in the meantime, good luck finding this film. It appears to only be available in the PAL format. :-/ I really love Cluny Brown, and it infuriates me that it is not available for sale in NTSC. Maybe some day. But it definitely is one of Ernst Lubitsch's better films if you can find a copy.

I loved this movie. Charles Boyer is always such a smooth actor. Im a sucker for a French accent. It was simple movie with a simple plot. Jennifer Jones was cute in the movie but not the best acting I've seen her do. I really liked her character though. I've watched this movie about 15 times and I cant really explain why, except that it makes me feel good. This is the kind of movie you want to watch if its a rainy, cold day outside and you can curl up with a cup of cocoa. The cocoa will warm your insides and the movie Cluny Brown will warm your heart. I will always treasure this sweet simple romantic comedy. Keep in mind that this is a very old movie and the purpose was for entertainment back then, not detailed plot twists. I think that this movie is worth watching, but don't stop after the first 15 minutes, it does get better. Just watch it!!!Trust me!!

Cluny Brown is an orphaned teenage girl working as a plumber's apprentice for her uncle, and living in London between the World Wars --and between classes. While cleaning out a clogged sink, she meets an older, expatriate Czech freedom-fighter, Professor Bilinsky, and starts a battle of the genders. She is also romanced by the scion of a gentry family and a local middle-class chemist (pharmacist).Cluny is lost in Britain between the wars. The British class system is still strong in the late 1930's. Cluny, however, does not fit into the rigid castes of the day. She's not exactly working class (she has too much natural intelligence and style) -- nor is she middle class (too independent) -- nor manor born (cockney through and through). She too practical for the chemist and too rough for the gentry. She ends up being hired as a maid, and not a very good one at that, dropping food and not knowing when, where, and to whom to speak. Of course, the Professor is also outside the system -- he has to borrow evening dress just for dinner and has no visible means of support.Cluny dates the other men before she realizes that she's a better match for Bilinsky -- and for the US, where class strictures are less strict.The acting is all-around excellent. Peter Fonda shows his chops at this early phase of his career. The screenplay and direction are especially fine. "Cluny Brown" is a wonderful treat. I saw it at a revival, but I urge you to rent it if you can.

The Lubitsch Touch is evident in this witty, intelligent film. Jennifer Jones shows a vivacity and humor she had never displayed before and would not again until her clever performance in "Beat The Devil". In one amazing scene where she cannot resist showing her wares as a Plumber (to the disdain of the other party guests) she gets to play a reaction to the debacle that is amazing in its combination of pathos and hilarity. Very interesting character actors including a very, very funny Una O'Connor (whose dialogue consists mainly of incessantly clearing her throat), the light as a feather and dead on playing of Margaret Bannerman, and also a chance to see Helen Walker. Charles Boyer plays with his customary light touch and is the anchor to this film, but finally it is Jennifer Jones' performance that takes one breath away and stays with you long after you've seen it.
