Thought I'd tell all of you about a classic movie with lots of barefooting!
It's Bell, Book and Candle, from 1957. It stars Kim Novak and James Stewart. She plays a sexy witch who puts a spell on poor Jimmy to make him fall in love with her.
Kim is barefooted A LOT, in this movie! It comes out, in one scene, that she got into trouble at school for going barefooted! And there's a nice close-up of her feet (in stockings), later on.
The best scene: She runs out into the street in the middle of winter to try and capture her runaway cat--barefooted!

I've seen that one! I love stuff like that..Kim Novak had an offbeat side to her that was celebrated in her time, I read.
Give you another one....see Modern Times (1936) with Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard.
Paulette stars as the "gamine", a "child of the streets", and is barefoot....walking those dirty city streets in most of the movie. There are shots of her dirty soles, especially after she steals some bread from a bakery and runs away, right into Chaplin, both of them hitting the sidewalk, with Paulette's soles on display.
This is a "must see" for foot fans.

Yana, Alyona and Alexandra (colorful dress) are perfection...the sexiest and the prettiest models.

Sadly, Paulette dons shoes, during the second half of the film! Still, it's great!
Another one to check out is the 1924 version of Peter Pan. Peter is played by Betty Bronson, and she is barefooted throughout the entire film! The opening scene in the bedroom is especially great, as Wendy "sews" Peter's shadow on her feet! The fact that it's "reverse drag"--she's playing a boy--isn't too disconcerting, to me.

Yeah, I was gonna say that at the end it's a letdown, lol.
It's a bit of magic when an actress goes barefoot for the whole film,..speaking of, there's a forties John Wayne film called "Shepherd of the Valley, where Betty Field goes barefoot for the whole movie,..and another one I like is "White Cargo", with Hedy Lamar playing the exotic barefoot tempress,..and very lightly clad as well. She's unshod throughout the film....and one of my favorites, "Alice B. Toklas, I Love You" with beautiful (in 1969) Leigh Taylor-Young plays the barefoot hippie girl, even shoes her at work in a boutique barefoot. This is a treat...

The movie is Shepherd of the Hills , where Betty Fields says she loves the feel of mud between her toes mentioned by jwdf88 on Page 6 of Revial of Barefoot Movies List. Also look for Trail of Lonsome Pine of the same ilk as Shephard of the Hills. There is also a strange Western with Steve Mcqueen -Nevada Smith, where there are barefoot female convicts working in a rice fields in a swamp prison camp. One of the female convicts helps Mcqueen escape ,some nice shots of dirty feet.

Maybe Hal Heaven can help me with this one -Saw really strange 70's or 80's German movie about a poor Swiss Village where everyone is barefoot and in rags in a village of mud and hovels , it's about a brillant organist. lot's of dirty feet with a handful of close ups.

Along similar lines is Bergblut from 2010 -about the fight for Tyrolean independence from Napoleon and a rich girl who falls for a Tyrolean peasant. Some dirty barefeet of peasants and a close up of the rich girl stepping barefoot in a pile of cow dung in extacy and liberation (I'm not making this up)

Swamp Water by Jean Renior has a dirty barefoot girl who is an outcast.

Steamboat Round the Bend with Will Rogers briefly has a dirty outcast girl barefoot in rags who gets cleaned up.

Will think of others

Shepherd of the Hills is really good, was not aware of that one. Thanks for mentioning. Another older one that is quite good is Gone to Earth, where Jennifer Jones' character hates wearing shoes and walks barefoot outside for nearly the entire movie, even though sometimes she is more dressed up. It's also a good movie.

Captain of Castille is another ...with Jean Simmons who plays the barefoot barmaid throughout the movie (I believe throughout, anyway).

There's also a delicious soles sequence of Mariel Hemmingway in the movie Personal Best.

I'm really fond of Jodie Foster for her many barefoot appearances in the movies she's done,...notably Panic Room, where there's a nice dirty soles shot.

Thanks for letting me know the name of the movie "Shepherd of the Hills". I could not figure out the name.

Anyways, anyone here have Netflix? Well a new release came out which you can watch for free call "Barefoot" which is a remake of the German movie barfuss. The star Evan Rachel Wood is barefoot in the hospital, strip joint bar, streets, rich mansion, airplane, and bus station.

Anyone else know any good barefoot movies we can watch right away on netflix?

Also one to watch is the 1934 cult classic horror film "The Island of Lost Souls" with Kathleen Burke as the "Panther Woman"...in skimpy island garb and barefoot throughout....she's a dark haired beauty as well.

Does it have to be classic movies?
We can make this thread Barefoot Movies Thread Revival 2.0. smile.gif

A reminder: in the old thread the exploitation movie The Hitchhikers was mentioned as a great barefoot movie and it's true. I was crazy trying to find this movie until I bought it in iOffer. Lately the movie has been added to the site Wip Films (Women in Prison Films) and can be downloaded. If you didn't watch it do yourself a favor. It's a pity that the quality is so bad because there are a lot of barefoot, hippie, criminal women.

Anyone knows the name of the german movie about the organist in a swiss village? Couldn't find it.

GONE TO EARTH. A British film. Jennifer Jones stars as a gypsy girl who marries a priest, but has an affair.
She's barefoot throughout most of the movie--even goes into a pub barefooted! And there's a great close-up of her feet, too!
