Richard Burton: The Interviews (1965 - 1983)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2013
- Clips from various interviews with the late Welsh actor that were broadcast between 1965 and 1983. Richard Burton died on August 5, 1984 from a brain hemorrhage.
The best lines he ever uttered were his own - so witty and self-deprecating; he had a wonderfully comic-ironic view of the world, his business, and of himself within it. The generosity he showed to family and loved ones was impressive; I just wish his life had been longer, less complicated; happier.
He was a marvelous, unique human being.
I love 8:46 "Elizabeth, pull yourself together" lol I love her passionately defending Richard and giving the interviewer a death stare. QUEEN.
Richard Burton was a marvelous actor and he was one great guy. His personal diaries were published a few years ago and although they were edited down to a miserly '800' pages they provided an astonishing insight into the real man. His main worry after a nights drinking was if he might have insulted some one he had come across, that was it...no fighting, no wrecking bars, just a nice decent guy. The people who criticize Mr Burton for making movies just for the money might take into consideration the fact that he kept forty members of his extended family on the payroll full time, acting in Shakespeare would not cover expenses like this. He was an alcoholic like countless other people and like many he could never shake it off, and those who say ' why doesn't such a person just give up the booze?....well, they simply have no idea of what they are talking about.
Lauren Bacall knew him and she decribed him as a very money-minded person of pretty low values. He said he was a friend of Bogard, so I guess she was thrusful and fully aware of what she said.

@@MysiaLusia That;s fine though. Money mindedness is important.
@@MysiaLusia She can talk!
@@Omnicient. BTW, Lately I have also heard of Anna Karina's memories of Burton. She have neither said nice words about him. Sth that he was rude and arrogant towerds other people.
As could be said for Bacall! I love them both but their contradictions should be aired!
What a genius talent with no one to touch him. And to boot one of the most beautiful male creatures ever, with a toasted walnut voice to unpin one in a sentence! He lives on in our ears minds and hearts❤
"toasted walnut voice" - nice!
An amazing, brilliant, handsome, thespian. Actors today can't even compete! Great video!
Will always be one of my favourite actors.
Burton is at his sharpest at this time in his life and career in the first interview. Few or no actors today are as well-read and as intellectual as Richard.
He is talented on stage and screen, handsome and beyond profoundly intelligent; hollywood envied him ; he robed Oscars 7 times. He had austic daughter when he was 28, he cared and supported her till she passed away...
Such a handsome man. Could listen to him forever!
Even tipsy , Burton's croaky baritone is hypnotic.
His voice will never have it's equal.
What's fascinating about Richard Burton was that he was such a paradoxical figure. On the one hand he was fiercely proud of his Welsh heritage and the mining class he came from - he had intelligence, effortless charisma & star presence and a one in a million type voice. On the other hand, he seemed to have such a superficial, hedonistic view of life and his talents, which I find a bit sad.
Yet what I enjoy about him is that he was honest and consistent about his priorities and outlook in life: he enjoyed being famous, making lots of money, elevating his social prestige and getting the star treatment. I guess as Burton himself suggests in his interview with Parkinson was that his outlandish and ostentatious show of wealth during his relationship with Liz Taylor was a reflection of the irony he saw; that a man of his humble background, as proud as he was of it, found himself surrounded by the glitz and glamor of the elite. I guess to him, his life was like a dream that came and went.
I just saw this comment on another video of RB🤔🤔🤔
A uniquely self destructive gentle Genius
So beautifully beautifully said my unmet friend...
self destructive and if you read his diaries he hated everybody
I love Burton, i love his need for family, his love for Taylor, his disdain for film, his love for money, his love for the stage, his love for Gielgud, his love for books, his yearning to be a writer, his love for manure, his love for drink, his honest evaluation of self, i could go on and on.
Thank you, I feel like you
He was depressed. He was a bore . And he was a lousy father.
@@zitamorena1724 Can you expand on that? Or was that just a random observation from a casual interloper.
@@zitamorena1724 You know better? Or you think you know better... I know no better so please expand.
His diaries revealed he found kids boring and looked forward to sending his children back when they came to visit him.
She loved him deeply. He worshipped her.
His voice is Absolute Gold 😍😍😍😍
That voice oh that VOICE.
I think Richard Burton has the nicest, purest, sexiest, most beautiful voice and pronunciation ever seen in an actor. But there again he is Welsh. Such beauty all around 🏴. An amazing actor, which is hard to beat.
RB deserved an Oscar. Shame on the academy
They brought out both the best and worst in each other...
A perfect gentleman and a first class actor
I learn a lot , I feel inspired , moved when I listen to this great actor Privilege of our times. Recordings Thank you !
Richard Burton is as brilliant as ever
Charming and fabulous actor. As Elizabeth said, "he is a hunk".
How he managed to drink so much and do all those films and plays I’ll never know. All the same what an incredible life he had especially with Elizabeth Taylor he was one lucky man !!!
I absolutely agree!!!
Damn! Elizabeth is on fire in that interview defending Richard! He's all like "pull yourself together" and she just goes off on one! Haha, I love it!
I'm with you, Lady Superman! I love how she becomes a lioness in that moment and then laughs with the guy a while later as she plays that moment, probably to appease Richard who was obviously tickled b her defending him as well as a little shocked by her going after that journalist!
Cheiron Koan
hmm observant mandem me is well impressed init (do not fear i also speak the Queens English) lol she was just looking for an excuse though it had nothing to do with defending anybody as expected she hated reporters
daniel whittaker
particularly unintelligent one,s
Right on, Daniel! She's a TIGRESS!
I loved her just a little more after that.
Great great intelligente person.So amazing he left so much culture for the yuong generation.Great and unforgottable.God bless him in heaven.
He was a self proclaimed atheist.
Even when he’s not acting he’s riveting to listen to and watch. The man Oooozzzed charisma. Was he happy though !
Oh how I LOVED Richard Burton!
extraordinary voice
Watching all Richard Burton’s interviews I can find on TH-cam after seeing Motive and the Cue in London West End a couple of days ago, which I found disappointing. The man himself speaking in candid interviews is sufficient cure for my irritation… :)
He had such an articulated way with his manner of speaking.
Richard Burton was a remarkable actor and the best husband Elizabeth Taylor ever had in my opinion. I would have stayed with that gorgeous man.
Wonderful with the dog relaxed on his lap.
💚💖
I adore this man what a life xx god bless nostra Rich
If anyone has ever wondered what Burton was like drunk, the Film 74 interview is the part to watch. Apparently Barry Norman turned up for the interview and was told Burton was drunk but they had to get the interview done...so they did. I don't think that was kind of them - far better to have e a sober Burton than a drunk one - he could be morose, surly, angry even when drunk as his diaries attest in his own words of his alcoholism; here he was a mix of melancholy and amusing - but it was an inflicted humiliation upon the man by the BBC to 'get the interview done at all costs'. What I find most annoying was the constant 'he sold out the Theatre for Hollywood'...no one, except Taylor pointed out the hypocrisy of critics - Gielgud, Schofield, Olivier, ALL moved from theatre to film and back multiple times and yet were constantly lauded for it whereas The Boy from the Valleys was consistently castigated for it - it must have pissed Burton off royally deep down. The poor sod. RIP Rich.
elizabeth said it like it was
Rags to riches classic true life Cinderella story. Coal miner's son who took Hollywood and London by storm.. Welsh wizard Richard Burton C.B.E.
Yes...i have read much and seen much of him, but what jumps out from his interviews is his eloquence......he demonstrates more than anything else, the value of reading. Of very modest education, reading played a significant role in his personal development. I would urge anyone to read as mich as they can........
He was being truthful when he said money was the reason he still did movies. He made tons of money during his career but he lived an extravagant lifestyle and blew through most of it. Spending it nearly as fast as he earned it. When he passed in 1984 his estate was only worth $4.5 million which was still a lot of money in those days but shockingly low for someone as famous as him.
It’s a pity he had to go so early...
A magnetic and magnificent person and personality which are rarest Gem
Fantastic, gifted genius. What an amazing actor, the best 👍
7:37 you can hear the Beautiful Elizabeth laughing at richards words
Elizabeth, talk about stand by your man.
Hollywood stars are not like this anymore.. Welsh wizard Richard Burton was stupendous on stage and screen.. Good evening from South Wales March 2024
He's a sensitive n generous man❤always helping his family n extended family.
He ages a decade in the two years between 65 and 67, and you can see the ravages of alcohol have taken there toll with each interview.
This man was very handsome
Бартон - человек с большой харизмойс чудесным голосом. баритоном. редкостный случай.
Brilliant man, ok he drunk heavily and smoked, died to early, the man was a genius and had presence, class, powerful, could hold a film together on his own with his ability, richard is insecure and probably worries alot, just an observation. He seems a tortured sole with the drink and ciggies. But when he is acting its like a switch gets turned on and he just does the business. Bang and he puts on a commanding performance. I love richard burton and he was a hollywood A lister. I get the sense he never forgot his roots, whare he was from. Proud that richard is british and is a man from wales, the interview whare he had a red jumper on, was struggling i thought, chain smoking, partially drunk, it was hard to watch him struggle through that interview, he even asked the interviewer if he could smoke, a troubled sole with the booze but a genius actor and he will always be remembered as one of the best actors of all time. I especially liked his commanding performance as Major Johan Smitt in Whare Eagles Dare. With an incredible cast that had so much depth, that movie in 1968 hits right out the gate with the music, the panoramic view of what the viewer is supposed to see, the bavarian alps, the film does not stop from start to finish and is a masterpiece that is still watched today and loved. R.I.P Mr Richard Burton. There will never be another on screen like you.
7:33....."If I wrote a play it would be a monologue and I would play the central part!!" RB
I love them together more than I can say. Mr and Mrs Burton forever
Liz Taylor was a fucking boss ...she didn't take no shit
MR. BURTON .........
GREAT!!!!!
FOR FOREVER
Obviously inebriated, but more open and expressive because of it.
Cleverly inebriated Richard Burton.
Is that Elizabeth Taylor hoot-laughing in the background when he says if he wrote a play it would be a monologue and he would play the part?
Richard reminds me of George C. Scott in his thoughts as an Actor by seperating himself as his own Person in-counter to the process of acting (which often times, the Industry can lead to eliminating the Soul of that Person in his/her given name/identity,) as characterized by an authentic actor in his standing to hold his own. This is obvious why Richard Burton loved poetry, because the sole craftsmanship of acting is living your personal life as 'your business' and no one elses' in how they define the individual decisions in a given scene/ script; in purposes of serving the Script according to one's perogative.
Un hombre apasionado
R.B. :"[...] One says about those mythical actresses : We jump into a bath of milk. [...]" (on acting with Liz Taylor).
These people that do nothing but criticize them who are they to judge they know nothing of their lives
Very honest , indeed 😊 .
Puzzled as to why dire interviewers gave Richard such a hard time, a total genius and in my opion the booze made the man, his choice and it worked.
He obviously thought that most of this perpetual hall-of-mirrors stuff was just silly, and it was, and is in the final anlaysis. It left him ruefully puzzled. He knew what he'd wasted, but perhaps in the end he didn't care.
In that last segment , did you see his eyes ? He had the look of " I could, and if you keep it up, I will kill you ! ! "
Brilliant actor and unforgettable voice ! Gone too soon.
The interviewers are such sexist dolts here, amused by her fire and ignoring her comments about film and stage born of decades of experience. Taylor defends her man and her craft, and they want to play it as if she's overreactive. Burton does a good job of mediating, doesn't think he needs to squash her. Respect to both of them.
R.B.: "[...] Shakespearean heroes who are certainly all ladies [...]."
Meh.....lol
What did he say to Elizabeth after tapping her?
Genius
Brilliant actor.villian one great move. 1971.
You'd love a girlfriend like Liz Taylor wouldn't you? Who'd rip the shit out of someone who tried to insult you.
Does anyone know of an welsh speaking interview he participate in? I've looked everywhere but can't be able too find one. Would love too hear him chatting in welsh.
Pourquoi avoir choisi Albert Finney pour le rôle du consul honoraire alcoolique d'"Au dessous du volcan" de John Huston ? Richard Burton aurait fait un morceau d'anthologie du cinéma.
christ the patronizing attitudes of the interviewers beggars belief !
P
He seemed drunk and tired talking to Barry. So sad
Richar barton un gran pero gran actor y un hombre maravilloso
Siempre me facino esos personajes sufridos q hacia
Siempre lo ame y lo amare un hombre d verdad
Richard Burton was a sort of strange cross between Jacob Rothchild and Dylan Thomas.
he was also a daring risk-taker. and yes: Dr.Faustus was his NUMBER ONE character.
DEFINITELY a larger than Life character and life.
I know you don't mean he is actually Faust but the relentless Faustian references really irritate me.
Dylan Thomas was a whole different breed. none like him, not even Peter O Toole whom i regard very highly.
Jacob Rothschild ? In what possible way ?
MOST HONEST EXPLANATION OF BEING FALSE
Q persnalidad maravilloda
he never mentioned Equus.
What is your best analysis? Why was Richard Burton such a tormented character? I think it began with the continual betrayal of his devoted wife.
It is true, it was difficult to leave Sybil, but it was more difficult to stay away from Elizabeth. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and he called her. After lunch that day, she decided that just seeing him once in a while would make her happy and she wanted him to stay married to Sybil, so they would all be happy. But he loved Elizabeth too much for that. His real torment was when Elizabeth divorced him that second time. They never stopped loving each other.
@@bjones3994 Grade A nonsense. His diary shows when he left Liz the 2nd time he was glad to be rid of her. He cheated on her and felt guilty about it but the bitch Liz drove him to it. He also married a much hotter woman after 2nd divorce.
dude was drunk in at least two of the segments.
And?
R.B.: "[...] I am not by any means a method actor. [...]"
I am wondering if the '83 interview was his last.
wow
port talbot s.wales-how the hell did that happen????one of a kind
That interviewer is a dope!
The film 74 interview he is clearly drunk 🍻
10 : 40 Liz Taylor brrr bit angry 😬🥵😲😤..... Richard relaxed. 🇩🇪👍🏽😁😁😁👸🏻🧑🏼🦲
R.B.: "[...] I have become an animal in some sort of strange way, [...]" - Journalist: "What keeps you going in the business?" - "Money. - I have to take 50'000 people to take care of, I have to pay everybody offs, legends, ..at the moment I am doing all right, I pick up a lot of money, ...I can go anywhere and play anything, but I don't know what prompts the imagination of the public [...]"
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is it just me or did his delivery and accent and voice change a little since his early 60s interviews? They seem to have changed and became a fixture and permanent afterwards.
He is under his liquid weather here.
Fucking hammered
He never looked happy. Never seen this guy smile. He looks constantly bored in life🤷♂️
I want a welshman to marry
@Edward Burgess I want that too
@Edward Burgess nah just kidding
@Edward Burgess hahahah i will go gentle into that good night
5ft 10.5 that’s the tallest he’s ever been 😂 5ft 8 -9 was the understood height ... interesting how actual height was such a thing to keep hidden in Hollywood
Richard Burton has a heavy face.
Bloody Hell , great actor but not good enough to disguise the fact that in that first interview he is clearly smashed !
I doubt he felt the need to disguise it.
8 million plus 1 million US Dollars sorry Mr Burton this huge money can not go with you in the grave
This man was a typical Welsh man never forgot his roots he didn't care about money if that's how much they wanted to pay him he's not going to turn it down who would he cared for his wives and his family he said aslong as he had a roof over his head a car he was ok he allways went back to Wales to see his family he looked after them financially he was buired in red the colour
of Wales he was a brilliant man with a poetic &very intelligent mind I could listen to him talk all day I'm proud to be Welsh✌💗
@@dtzjones7632 well said
Taylor comes across so badly here. Like some sort of hysterical shrew.
No, Soyuz, that's called "being upset" not "hysterical shrew". You know, an emotion that both men and women feel. As in a common human state.
Read a little about Taylor as a person and then think about what you've just posted.
Thanks.
'Most iconic love story of the last century'?
LOL
A man is allowed to be angry a woman must be shrew. Misogyny at it’s finest.
Suzie cream cheese
Spare me the faux genderpsychobabble 😬 Anyone with even a passing knowledge of Taylor’s personality would know that she was a very difficult character. Her 8 marriages would attest to that.
Ms Taylor was a horrible actress ,she was average in the looks departmrnt,,,,wearing tons of make up and ruined Richard Burton
elizabeth didn't ruin him, he did a wonderful ob at that himself, stop with the "blameimg elizabeth game"
So tickled to see this comment. I have always thought she was ridiculously overrated. The American Opthalmic folks say nope to the ‘violet eyes.’ Vivien Leigh was overwhelmingly more beautiful. Richard Burton enhanced her presence greatly.
The shrew needs to be tamed...
