In 1963 my mother and I were just passing by on a bus and asked what all the spotlights were for and found out it was the awards. We got off the bus walked over and sat in the stands that you see next to the red carpet at the beginning of the video. No tickets. No super security. Gregory Peck and John Wayne walked right past us. Different times.
Gregory Peck was such a stunner, and a very, very good actor. He just seemed so decent in most of his films - though he could surprise you occasionally by playing a scary bad guy. Also a big civil rights supporter. His daughter is a fine filmmaker herself. I really miss Mr. Peck - such a lovely American!
Only six days after Martin Luther King, Jr., was taken from the world. A very apt and moving salute to one of the most phenomenal human beings to have ever graced this world, and bless us all with his wisdom and understanding of the human condition.
GROGORY PECK the man who played Lincoln , and who once said (paraphrasing)of 'Pulp Fiction' "a case exists for it being excessive, but it's impressive filmaking".
Wow, you would never hear any of these words today. Such a class and charismatic man and actor … Gregory Peck! Loved his movie “To Kill A Mockingbird”. These artists had hearts. We don’t see this at all anymore. It is only people that try to drive us a part with hatred. There is no humor anymore that really makes us belly laugh. The people today are not artists they are cruel and hateful. Loved watching this … missed these days.
Disagree in part. “Moonlight” is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. No white people - but no racism either. “12 Tears a Slave” was a redemptive film, and it showed that white people helped some slaves. I have seen several rather ‘clean” films like “Napoleon Dynamite” that have made me howl with laughter. But yeah, there’s too much unnecessary violence, profanity and sex in most of today’s films. A shame.
you are insane if you don't recognize that this happened During the Vietnam War & multiple political murders MLK & RFK along with anti war movement rolling across the nation. Hollywood was cheerleading pro war completely out of touch with current affairs.
02:08 I love how the orchestra plays the theme of ''To Kill a Mockingbird'' when Gregory enters on the stage. And that year was the year of ''The Graduate''! 13:04 I love Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman in this movie!
Without any swearwords Bob Hope was pretty sarcastic, frank and entertaining. He was roasting the Oscars and the actors the films and everything and he did it well.
Elmer Bernstein's the conductor! So many great works, "To Kill A Mockingbird", "The Magnificent Seven", "Hawaii", and one of my favorites "Far From Heaven".
If memory serves, this was the year in which Norman Jewison's film, "In The Heat Of The Night" won Best Picture over Nichols' "The Graduate" and Penn's "Bonnie And Clyde" and Rod Steiger won Best Actor for the aforesaid film, which he had deserved for The Pawnbroker three years earlier. This was also Sidney Poitier's most successful year as an actor, with commercial and critical successes in "Heat Of The Night"., "To Sir With Love", and "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner".
There was no one better than Gregory Peck to do the opening for the Oscars that year. The original date for the ceremony was changed because, due to Dr. King's assassination, a number of performers said that they would not be able to attend, as they would be going to his funeral. And I feel that Bob Hope's joke about the delay was completely tasteless and out of line. I've never understood his appeal, and not just because of this.
I do not see what was tasteless about it. All he said was it was delayed, but did not mention why. I think it would have been tasteless to make jokes had he mentioned King's name, but Hope didn't.
Imagine making a joke about how hard the delay was on the NOMINEES just a few days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.! Still, this was a transitional year for American films, what with Bonnie and Clyde and The Graduate among the nominees.
If I'm able to suggest you something, I'd like to request that you upload the concerts of the Best Song Oscars' nominees. The shows are always highlights. In special, I'd like so much to watch "The Look of Love" sung by Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 at the 40th Academy Awards in 1968.
Notice from the bumper at the beginning - "The Wednesday night movie won't be seen tonight." This year that the show was pre-empted by a few days because of MLK's assasination. The Oscars were traditionally Monday (I believe).
"The ABC Wednesday Night Movie will not be seen tonight but will return next week so that we can bring you the following ABC Special Presentation: The 40th Annual Academy Awards!"
@jett woodward They are over madeup,nipped and tucked wanna bes. I see better looking natueal talent down at the local beach in Sydney every day of the week.
The Kardashians was not even in the Academy Awards since they were born in the past! I think, they were kids and watch the Academy Awards on TV when they are young.
Would never tell Gregory Peck to "stay classy". He would never for one minute depart from that grand status. You made motion pictures true to their art form
I just realized a few things: 1) Oscars' shows were beautiful, even the background of the stage. 2) Bob Hope seemed to be the top choice for host. 3) There weren't really any standing ovation, why? Everyone were equally brilliant and deserving.
She was absolutely Stunning that night! Anne will go down as one of the most underrated actresses of all-time. She absolutely nailed down Mrs Robinson s character to perfection! Her work in the Miracle Worker was astonishing. I do believe she was a very beautiful woman who did things her way and was able to show her versatility in the roles she performed. Thank You God for Anna Maria Louisa Italiano ❤
Interesting watching this in 2020. Bob Hope's style of comedy is really dated - he's reeling off lukewarm pre-written jokes, with 1 in 5 really getting a laugh. Gregory Peck however, has an incredible presence and his message is kind of forgotten after Hope's ten minutes.
Gregory Peck - a great actor and a man with class.
pobocze IKR? He IS Atticus Finch.
Yes.
The Omen. An incredible believeable performance. Seriously talented...
@jett woodward Be grateful she wasn't your nanny.
Forgot about her. Brilliant character.

and BONNIE & CLYDE rung in the type of violence making 'Pulp Fiction' eventually sucessful.
Didn’t they postpone these awards a day or so bcz of Dr. King’s assassination? 8:24
Very nice that Mr. Peck pay tribute to Dr. King!!!! Such a classy and respectful man!!!!
m'mmm pity King was a moral hypocrit though. It was said, that he spent a lot of time with prostitutes, maybe the FBI said it.
Gregory Peck is amazing

Great actor & orator ! Gregory Peck RIP.
I love Gregory Peck
My father was born in 1928 just like the academy awards. I was born in 1968 so this video is especially meaningful for me.
Gregory Peck ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🕊🕊🕊
His voice 😍
Thank you Atticus
Yup, he played himself!
Mr Peck was amazing！
Golly, things sure have changed. I can't deal with how this era of actors just drip with class.
02:08 I love how the orchestra plays the theme of ''To Kill a Mockingbird'' when Gregory enters on the stage. And that year was the year of ''The Graduate''! 13:04 I love Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman in this movie!
I recognized that theme too with just a few notes. Iconic!
Elmer Bernstein conducted the Academy Orchestra that year. You can tell that it's him because he conducts with his left-hand.
@@Kinopanorama1 Smart!
Gregory Peck. What a class act he was.
Bob Hope's monolog is great!!
Class, dignity, decorum, respect. Far cry from the Academy Awards of today.
True starting at the 90's and back the academy awards were poppin I still watch the show but it's not like these days
+senorkaboom Amen to that...today there is mostly garbage
I stop watching after the 2000. The best years are between 1960-1980. Afterwards it became nonsense and boring.
I love this!!! Keep putting up more openings!!
Peck was a good actor and an even better man,
Without any swearwords Bob Hope was pretty sarcastic, frank and entertaining. He was roasting the Oscars and the actors the films and everything and he did it well.
Does he say “Dustin Hupman” instead of “Hoffman?”
love the comments of Charlton heston a few years before the film Earthquake!!!
Elmer Bernstein's the conductor! So many great works, "To Kill A Mockingbird", "The Magnificent Seven", "Hawaii", and one of my favorites "Far From Heaven".
He also did the music for "Animal House". Go figure
The Black Cauldron is one of my favorites.
And 'The Grifters'. To me, his most evolved work.
Well no wonder he knew to play the Mockingbird theme when Greg Peck appeared!
I'm here for Anne Bancroft❣ i really need more videos of Annie in Oscars 1968!
Stars stars stars! Bob Hope had impeccable timing with his jokes and makes fun of himself and others without upsetting anyone.

Sidney should’ve gotten a nomination for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.

Bob Hope was a racist and not funny!
Hollywood was so much more classy and elegant back in the day.
They were more discreet.
No it was not. They were doing all kinds things on the down low. Very racist to the core. Go figure

RFK would be gone within two months as well.. thank you for posting this.
This was the last show at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. The Oscars moved to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for the next two decades.
That is when everyone had talent in music,acting,comedy,sports,writing,directing and eating Swansen frozen dinners.

Ah, the good ol' days, when there was a touch or class, not to mention dignity, as epitomised by the elegant Mr Peck.
I am now 4 years older than Bob was then. Sigh....
It sounds like people are booing Doctor Dolittle (1967) at the beginning of this video when everyone is asked which best picture they're voting for.
