A great actor from the golden age of British cinema, he deserves to be better remembered.
He is!!!!
Very true, I grew up watching him like a hero.
a Kenneth More was one of greatest actors of all time . Bless him for eternity
I met this lovely man in the toilets of the White Swan, Alnwick, in the late 70's. I should explain, my pals and I were jobbing extras on Mr More's film 'The Spaceman and King Arthur'. We were scrubbing ourselves in the loos (camping nearby) when in walked Mr More and John Le Mesurier - well what gentlemen they were, kind thoughtful, funny and caring - old school!
@TheClassicalSymphony - no bless him - he and John Le Mesurier were the top billed actors staying at the poshest hotel in town ! They caught us scrubbing up in the loos - great and kind actors 💪🏻
An actor who was so uniquely individual that the films in which he appears are remembered as Kenneth More films. Thank you for posting.
His honesty even to this day is a breath of fresh air. His part in the film "Genevieve" is one of the best films ever.
His accent is wonderful to listen to. His RP diction was wonderful.
@John King. More standard English with a southern accent than RP, per se.
I like his accent
I'm now 58 years old and I've loved Kenneth Moore for as long as I can remember. I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet him. RIP Kenneth. x
Mavis plays Kenneth like a stringed instrument. This interview deserves to be remembered as a model of its type. An interviewer doesn't have to bully, or deceive, a guest into opening up about themselves.
True great British actor. Thank you.
Cracking little cameo interview. the more I read of and hear Kenneth More clips the better I like him. And Mavis Nicholson one of the best interviewers of all time. He afternoon show was a treat
Always admired this man. I met my wife at the Sir Kenneth More theatre in Ilford.
I saw Dylan Thomas' "Under Milk Wood" at that theatre . The production in a way a fitting tribute to the actor.
What a real nice guy..a true gent.
Great actor,loved him in so many films,especially North West frontier,actors like Kenneth don't exist anymore,a true gent.
She's a brilliant interviewer .
I knew her name, but nothing about her, I was impressed.
She's lovely.
Absolutey adore this man and his honesty. Have nearly all his films.

I met Kenneth More at Shildon in 1975 when he like me was at the 150th Anniversary of Steam and a treasured memory is his autograph that i still have today .... just a nice man and a great actor.
Sadly these days, humility and politeness are wrongly looked on by many in this horrible selfish society as weakness!
I was born in 1987... not a chance to meet)
@classicfilm In my life i`ve been very lucky to meet some great actors ...... James Stewart and Dianah Sheridan ........ have there autographs and some picture of them .......... they were true stars of the cinema and very easy to speak too ......... nice people.
@@johnrees7909 Lucky you met these actors and have their autographs. :)
Thanks for posting. What a great voice he had.
A great actor a true gentleman.
Mavis sadly died recently, Mavis Nicholson (née Mainwaring; 19 October 1930 - 8 September 2022) was a Welsh writer and radio and television broadcaster. She was born in Wales, and worked throughout the United Kingdom.[2]
Wow. I really enjoyed this. I really enjoy these old interviews, the way they spoke, the style. I do like Kenneth More, he was in one of my fave films as a kid "A night to remember" and he played Douglas Bader in Reach for the Sky.
A very Decent Human being. His performance in Reach for the Sky was Very impressive and Sadly died too young at 67in 1982,ironically the same year as Douglas Bader.
I thought he was born in 1910, which means he would have been 72 years of age.
@@BelloBudo007Born 20th September 1914
@@garrywood5345 Thanks mate. Much appreciated.
One of my all-time favourite actors. A fine gentleman - the sort we seem to be running out of...
Have done
@@dreaming5877 name one
One of my favourite actors
near to finishing the book . Great read ,love this chap and all his films
Interesting! I just like him. So formal, proper, wonderful accent, yet with a spot of mischief.
FANTASTIC 🇬🇧... you can't live on a fiver here's a 10er brilliant. RIP MR MORE 🙏
just a very nice man !
Ken had incredible hair.
My late uncle had exactly the same hair style, used to make me smile as I saw Kenneth in my uncle, sad to think both are gone now :(
I would have loved this nice bloke as an uncle.
I saw this interview when it first came out. Late'70s I think.
His widow is still with us: I hope she's thriving.❤
The Ghost of Christmas Present from "Scrooge" AWESOME!
Me and my ma love Kenneth more too bits an excellent actor
His autobiography, More or Less, was originally published in 1978, so this interview dates from then. He died four years later in 1982. The interviewer, Mavis Nicholson, is still alive, but will be 86 later this year, 2016.
She died last year man . 92
I just started watching his films, any I can find. Saw the Battle of Britain many times and didn’t realize that was him until I started watching his movies. My favorite so far is, Reach for the sky…and Flame over India….
The Thirty Nine steps is good too.
Came here after watching A Night To Rememver, today.
I could have watched so much more of that how delightfully interesting funny witty man I have been brought up been told he was a pompous arrogant man he may have been all of them things but I could have listened to his wonderful stories marvelous upload :-)
I knew his daughter and saw his oscar on his mantle peice....lovely actor , lovely daughter.
The days of ladies and gentlemen.
Lovely man xx
Excellent actor, he was really good in The Admirable Crichton and Genevieve.
Probably his two best films.
Love him at a Nigth to Remember as Titanic second officer
He seems like a nice man and a great actor but I can't believe he was shocked people didn't approve of his affair.
I can’t imagine why anyone would like that lol
He was not shocked that they disapproved he was shocked at how he was treated by his friends.
He blames the wives….
It's great how Stars of this era were far more honest than today,now its just self promotion of them and the latest film.
Great British actor
Why hasn't Thames TV put a year up??
Have to say that interviewer is soooooo classy gosh she's a credit to herself and love Kenith Moore
Wonderful
First film I remember of his was Man in the Moon. I was 6, so 1991. Growing up I saw more old movies than contemporary so these films seemed 'new' then. Watching it a voice in my head says I like this chap, he's great. Now, 37, Kenny remains my favourite.
Another example of the interviewer allowing the guest to talk.
That is what every interviewer should do
Such a character ❤
My favourite actor always thought he would have made a great Henry Higgins in my fair lady just couldn’t take to Rex Harrison.Kenneth was a fantastic actor a true British gentleman thanks for some great films .
Terry Court ,now that you mention it,that would have been great casting.Kenneth was an insightful actor who would have been convincing
as the indifferent bachelor and with his natural warmth and charm, would have won us over in the final scenes.I have most of his films on
DVD and I enjoy them all.In “North West Frontier”,he brought out a natural warmth in Lauren Bacall that I had never noticed before.
Brilliant in reach for the sky
One of my favourite British movie stars of the golden age of films.....I will watch him in any thing along with John Mills
Interestingly (to me at least) I was watching something recently where some actor of the time (I forget who) mentioned Angela Douglas saying "oh yes she 'shacked up' with Kenneth More didn't she" which sounded a rather unnecessarily loaded/barbed comment, I knew they were together but seeing this tells me it was maybe seen as a bit scandalous at the time
A great presence.
Thanks enjoyed that nice guy
A wonderful actor...
Jeff Smith There’s now an official website! www.kennethmore..com
Very handsome man, he is so pretty!
Weirdo.!
posh and class.. rip kenny
Great actor
Wonderful and much loved actor.
Just loved that fella never saw him in a bad film
Great actor from a great era!!!
My grandfather worked in a gentlemans club in london in the fifties met him plenty of times ,said he would shag a barbers floor
How crude!
He looks like a cross between Stewart Granger and Benny Hill...Nice widow's peak.
What year was this interviewed made.
He jumped away from talking about leaving his second wife quite sharpish!
I love kenneth moores titanic a night to remember movie
I hate when anyone trashes their family publicly. It might be the truth, but it's sad to witness.
Mavis.. excellent!
Reach for the sky .
There’s now an official website! www.kennethmore.com
What year was this recorded?
Kenneth died in 1982, so this must have been recorded in the late 1970s. Mavis hosted a large number of daytime shows on ITV when they launched a daytime schedule in October 1972.
hahaha wow this guy is my distant cousin looks like someone in the family sort of made it.
🤩👏
He's not that far off some of the characters he played.
Mr bean follows him...
Like lot of older men he divorced
His wife for a younger one
He should have stayed single
Until he met the young one
greatly over rated he looks like a geography teacher
And yet he somehow he drew you into watching the video.
Strange that you would watch a video about someone you think is overrated.
A poor man's Jack Hawkins.
No
Who is jack hawkins
Jack Hawkins was a great actor and appeared in many great films. Kenneth More was easily his equal on both counts.
I don't drink Kenneth more . I can speak the scottish gealic language and yet you say I don't have a brain . I have a brain but I don't know much general knowledge though .stop nodding no I'm not interested .I'm not doing Scottish gealic and I'm not going back to it either .
