I forgot how cool Kirk Douglas is, definitely ahead of his time
I’ve never seen Kirk Douglas interviewed before. He’s quite affable and engaging. No empty-headed star by any means.
Affable is a great word to use here. He truly is. Perhaps comes from his very humble beginnings, who knows? I can’t think of a film of his that disappointed me.
Kirk Douglas passed away this week at age 103 years old. Hardly a mention on tv. Sad
That’s because there aren’t too many of us that remember him, I remember him from my childhood. RIP Kirk, thank you for being a positive influence on my life.
Got plenty of course deserved coverage in Britain.
It was all over the British media
@@gregbrockway4452 Go watch Spartacus and remember him.
Alfredo Di Stéfano Laulhé-Thank you for the suggestion but I’ve seen Spartacus many times.
Just looked up Kirk Douglas and found out he's still alive at 102 years old! Just WOW!
For.real?
I wonder if he remembers this interview
Yes.. he's amazing! A great actor. His son Michael followed in his footsteps and is still making movies.
@@sillkthashocker He probably doesn't remember what he had for breakfast today.
Hollywood legend. Guy who knows hes had such a wonderful life and doesn't want to leave it - and when Death finally come to claim him millions will shout- ' I'm kirk, I'm kirk ,..I'm kirk.......
1:03 They're discussing how hollywood is in a slump and wondering if it will ever recover. And only a few months after this interview "The Godfather" was released.
They had no idea what was ahead of them. Think about all the classics about to be released in the following years..."Jaws", "Alien",
"A Clockwork Orange", "Rocky", "Star Wars : A New Hope" "The Warriors", "Taxi Driver" ect.
Amazing.
GunsGiftsGalleries 🤯 thanks for putting that in context, I thought it was kinda a strange comment considering the decade
Its true, I sometimes think of the 80's as being the second golden age for cinema.
Awesome comment
People who are self confident have no need to brag. That was so true with Kirk Douglas, a class act.
Kirk Douglas should have won an Academy Award for the movie, "Lust For Life"
I agree.
I think so.
Dick Cavett was a different breed of talk show host and it’s so refreshing to see. Imagine any of the top talk show hosts today saying “one feels obliged to say they like your film” it just would t happen.
Graham Norton is a great talk show host on BBC.
Graham Norton is light entertainment, he just goes for laughs and I suppose what you might call camp repartee.
Kirk looked pretty good for a guy in his mid 50s here.
I kinda wanted to see the clip of Johnny Cash but great interview.
What a great guy! May he rest in peace now.
It really was wonderful on the old talk shows to see an actor be themselves or at least a non -movie screen version of themselves. I really enjoy watching Kirk do this, he was really the best at it, I mean, no nervousness, no pretension, no hesitancy. He is really a very gorgeous and personable guy. Of course he reminds me of his son Michael Douglas, and Michael is equally good at this.
Yes, Michael is very much his father’s son, isn’t he?
Yes ! The Lonely are the Brave ! Absolutely beautifully made !
One of my all time favorite movies.
Dick Cavett 😍😍
Great interview. A true acting legend!
I’ve never heard him speak or seen him in an interview before. Sounds EXACTLY like his son Michael
No...Michael sounds like him
That's how it works...
Have you been buried in a box your entire life?
Imagine that, father and son sharing similarities. Dumbass
Hot Plöppet true
It’s amazing how much Kirk and Mike look so much alike.
never seen Dick Cavett before.. really like how he interviews...
6:17 Kirk's reaction LMAO
Another great legend interviewed by one of the best talk show hosts. Superb.
Lonely Are the Brave used to show up on TV every now and then, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Great film. I remember being riveted watching it when I was just a child.
That was nice. There are a few movies I remember from the early sixties when I was ten to
fourteen years old, but one of them is Lonely are the Brave. I'll never forget how Kirk Douglas
rode away from the city on his horse, being a deep human drama about immigrants and city life.
Thank you for this channel. I didn't live in this era but am fascinated by it
Class act!
I remember watching A Gunfight on TV back in the early 80s. It must have had an impact on me, because after 40 years, I can remember most of the plot.
Loved Last Train from Gun Hill. Seen it many times. It was one of the first loners after High Noon.
I liked watching big trees when I was young
Johnny Cash actually starred in at least one movie years before "Gunfight", so it wasn't his first movie gig. I don't remember the name of it, but I think, that it was made in the late 1950's or early 1960's
Oh God, those eyes. Charisma
phenomenal actor and human being!
RIP Kirk Douglas !
Cavett has an unparalleled ability to confuse his guests, leading to awkward pauses and quizzical looks.
Good questions stand on their own but Dick often had to explain what he meant by his.
Dick's questions were uniquely great, and reflect his high intelligence and ability to zero in on what's uniquely interesting about what his guests did and who they were. May be over the heads of some viewers, but the questions usually made sense to his guests of sense.
I think that is a fair observation.
I certainly enjoy watching clips of his show(he had the "Creme de la creme"on)but I think he suffered with the ability or misfortune of being maybe a little to smart or witty for his own good, at times and instead of asking a (q)listening to the answer,he was already interjecting his answer or "Punchline"which could be irritating or awkward for his guest I would imagine!!.But still a classic show!..
You are correct, and that is why Cavett was a cr*p interviewer. He lived in his ego, had to feel like he was Mister Clever, *had* to try to embarrass the guest in some way, if only briefly.
I really like dick cavett and until i read some comments, i didn,t know why. I don,t think it matters. Kirk is one of the handsome actors that ever lived.
I have to disagree with you there Tom. For me his slight hesitancy and shyness make him more likeable and real.
I’m gonna check that movie out. Love old movies
RIP kirk.. well played
Now he is 102 years old, but yet this interview doesn't even look that old!!
I wish they would've showed the clip. The last time I saw a gunfight was shortly after it was released. Good movie, and Cash is good in it.
Do you remember if it was a flop at the box office. I think it was as I cannot find the box office. Just interested and native Americans funded it. I honestly think that would have made a great documentary. Most people would be amazed they were funding movies back then I think. Well, I am.
@@AnyoneCanSee I suspect that it was a flop, as it's never shown on TV and there's never any mention of it when people speak of westerns. But with the star power, it might've made it's money back.
I just watched a 1960 film Kirk did with Kim Novak called Stangers when we Meet, phenomenal!
Great movie, although the ending was a little sad. Just an aside from that, there is ( or was ) a video here on TH-cam of a recent tour of the locations used in the movie. A lot has changed in the near 60 years since it was made, but it shows the spot on Tiger town Rd. where Kirk and Kim first meet at the school bus stop after dropping off their kids, and quite a few others. Worth checking out if it's still here.
@@jakartaman3365 Thank you, I'll check it out
Good film, Barbara Rush was terrific in it..
It was a bit of a suburban melodrama, but Walter Matthau was good as Douglas' lecherous neighbor. Ironically, his name was Felix.
Also check out The Strange Loves of Martha Ivers. One of his early roles. I think you'll like it! You can watch it on TH-cam
Lonely Are the Brave is worth seeing. It’s based on an Edward Abbey novel the Brave Cowboy which was his MFA master’s thesis. Great novel as well.
I believe he stated more than once that was his most important role. The novel was set during the Korean War, it was ahead of its time given the decade to come.
Robert Vander Voort There is this poignant ending , but when I was watching it recently , what really stunned me , was Kirk's incredible strength and stamina while he was pulling his horse up the rocky hillside. I have actually tried to get into his every movement and got tired just by watching it. I can't even start to think about the job of a cameraman. The reality of this scene is simply breath taking.
Thank you! Both men are unique and engaging, and although Dick, in his innocent and unaffected manner, puts his foot in his mouth a couple of times, he manages to get away with it, and Kirk has the grace and good humour to roll with it. Classic and classy guys! I miss them.
He was right about lonely are the brave , a very underrated movie, his performance in it was excellent.
What a great guy!!!
Long live Kirk 👏😉
I always loved The Big Trees
I just watched the movie Big Trees on DVD and I enjoyed it.
I like Kirks sense of dress, that shirt and suit combo. I'd wear that!
One of the greats...Kirk Douglas, Cary Grant, Charlton Heston...actually Cary Grant always played Cary Grant....so for me Kirk and Charlton are just the most immense actors that played the biggest parts going...both were truly superb actors...I admire them both so much. Spartacus V Ben Hur......both those movies just make me melt. Both make me cry. Just the most awesome acting put onto film.
My great grandfather was Douglas's college roommate. I'm sad I never got to meet him
"The Big Trees" is full on TH-cam.
One of his lesser known films is "Rememberance of Love" which is a very moving movie and highly recommended.
Powerful actor. He's great in Detective Story, Lust For Life as Van Gogh and of course 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea ("Got a whale of a tail to tell you lads..."). His memoir The Ragman's Son is full of great stories about old Hollywood.
"lonely are the brave"! magnificent, yet seldom aired movie...
and it's on TH-cam
Man he really is Michael's dad...
A Gunfight was a very enjoyable movie, but not Johnny's first movie. He was the leading man in Five Minutes to Live, aka Door-to-Door Maniac, ten years earlier.
RIP Issur Danielovitch!
Jews together eh??
It's like he cloned himself and made a son named Michael.
........but is Michael a rapist?
RIP good sir
He seems like such a Viking here.
interesting to see a real conversation vs some scripted bs that the shows producer and the actors publicist put together....
Yes!!Dick cavett had a really good and interesting show.
In general he had a very subtle and tactful approach,but of course from time to time,he Crossed swords"with various guests.
And then u fast forward to 2019 and u have vapid BS just filling in "Air Space"..
God old talk show hosts were so much more laid back
Mr Douglas is the only person I can think of whose real beard looks like a fake beard. In watching him here I'm reminded that he's still with us, 102 years old. Here's hoping that he's lucid and content.
Sorry men everywhere but all beards look like fake beards 😅
Mr. Douglas "enjoyed" all the fringe benefits of stardom than any other actor in Hollywood history......wow!!! 👩
Great interview, but had to laugh at Kirk dodging the question of why he looks bigger on screen. It's because he wore 2-inch elevator shoes on film to get him up to 5'11ish :)
fair enough ... John Wayne who was 6 foot wore 2 inch lifts in his films & for public appearances (also a toupee) so as to look like John Wayne ...
@@anneroy4560 Sorry, John Wayne's real height was 6ft 3 ¾. He wore lifts to make himself even taller.
He was my next door neighbor when I lived in Beverly Hills across from Will Rogers Park.
Where george Michael got caught cruising??
Big tree's 1952 beautiful scenery and in color,better than most movies in 2020
The movie clip was great
Funny moment at 2:05 when Dick froze 😂. It's hard to tell with him if he intends to do some things or are accidental.

Dick Cavett was the best. He is an American treasure.
Aye kirk,r.i.p.
that beard really suits hum
and he is really coolas they come
"Do I disappoint you, Dick?"
Looks exactly like his son and vice versa
of course vice versa too.....wtf
In this, Kirk reminds me of Mathew McConaughey, talking a bit quicker
I need that shirt Kirk's wearing! Wonder if he still has it? He's my height so should be the right size... lol
hes not using it anymore, write him an email
"sophisticated financial investments" . in the future, that means "reservation casinos".
Great interview, but why the hell can't WE see the clips from the movie?
Michael .Wise I have seen this question asked before on other chat show clips, and it seems to be something to do with copyright issues.
that sound is %100 similar to Michael Douglas now
I enjoyed the movie Big Trees.
There's half the comments about his height , 5. 9. It's the same height as brian o driscoll who played for ireland in rugby , He made some good movies and is 100 x BUT the part most missed is his property development ,I'll et he flipped good dollars on them ,,
His son Michael looks so much like Kirk did here
Kirk says he's 5ft 11ins but on the Celeb Height website they have him as 5ft 9ins. Mind you, they have Michael Douglas at only 5ft 8ins. BTW, that website is worth checking out as members of the public can comment on the height of celebrities that they have encountered, saying things like, " I'm 6 ft 1 in and was looking down at such and such a celeb so I would reckon he's no more than 5ft 10ins" .
The missing clips of the movie really killed this interview for me.
I liked "The Big Trees". I also liked "Lonely are the Brave". They weren't big budget films but I was entertained.
Just saying. 😊
Too bad we can't see those movie clips in these videos.
Funny... Every thing I found said Kirk is not 5'11"... they have him at 5'9" . Which I believe is more accurate looking at him along side other stars that we know their true height.
Kirk Douglas died. RIP.
WOW that fucker was really hammered
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows.
Kirk Douglas sounded a lot like Rich Little.
Rich Little ??
Yes, I corrected it. Thanks!
why in the hell we couldn't see that clip of the movie with Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash.
Probably woudl have to pay the owners of the rights to that movie money.

Why don't these Dick Cavett Show ever show the film clip they are talking about!!
I believe only actor do a movie with both John Wayne and Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash (nacido como J. R. Cash, Kingsland, Arkansas; 26 de febrero de 1932-Nashville, Tennessee; 12 de septiembre de 2003) fue un cantante, compositor, músico, y actor estadounidense. Considerado como uno de los músicos más influyentes del siglo xx. Considerado el Rey de la Música Country y un icono de ese género. Cantautor de country, góspel, rock and roll y rockabilly, fue y es uno de los máximos representantes de la música country, aunque creó su propio subgénero musical.
It wasn't Cash's first movie, made one in the 60s
Cash's first film role was "Five Minutes to Live" in which he plays a vicious criminal, who, in the end (spoiler alert) is gunned down by police. th-cam.com/video/YjXT7ZhoMpc/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if you told him then that he was going to live to be 103 would he have believed it? to bad the movie "stars" of today don't have a quarter of the class Kirk Douglas had
Kirk Douglas (nacido como Issur Danielovitch; Amsterdam, Nueva York; 9 de diciembre de 1916 - Beverly Hills, California; 5 de febrero de 2020) fue un actor y productor de cine estadounidense. Entre sus papeles, destacaron su interpretación del pintor Vincent van Gogh en Lust for Life (1956) y su papel protagonista en Espartaco (1960). Por su extensa y reconocida carrera, recibió un premio Óscar honorífico en 1996. Fue padre del actor Michael Douglas.
My ex wife and I stayed on that Apache reservation in Dulce a number of years ago. They have money because there is oil on the land. I think they have had difficulty holding onto their wealth, regardless. The government has screwed them out of much of it.
Kirk was right about movies. This was filmed in 1971 and they were only a few years away from Jaws and the birth of the summer blockbuster and Star Wars etc. But he would not be a part of it.
How tall are you Kirk? 5'11" ! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! He was 5'9".
