Guests on his show were so much more authentic, rather than the artificial celebrity culture we are in now
Doc Brightside No desk dividing host from guest. I think that adds to the general feeling of coziness. Also, the general atmosphere now is, what are they selling? A book, movie or CD? So tiring.
There are authentic people to interview today too, However, the pressure of commercial media production to generate ratings and revenue forces a faster, choppier pace. The best places to find a longer format is public televion/radio and also various podcasts like Marc Maron's.
The studios heavily moulded their contracted stars during the golden years of Hollywood. They hid Rock Hudson’s homosexuality, and concealed drug and alcohol problems, yet fed Judy Garland drugs leading to her downfall.
You're watching the wrong shows.
@@margo3367 I never liked seeing the desk there on the other talk shows . A more relaxed atmosphere like this is definitely the way to get the person to open up not make them feel they're at a job interview or sitting with a professor .

wow 1971 he was 55 here. I bet if someone told him he would live to 2020 he wouldnt have believed it. RIP
Y vivió casi 50 años más!!!! INCREÍBLE!
Y Dick Cavett hoy tiene 83
Dr. Acula 104 not a bad gig
Crazy. 4 years older than me here.
Dr. Acula My age. He looks old and lived so many more. Love him
@Rebecca P He died just like 2 weeks ago at 103. You old asshole.
These classic interviews are more watchable than modern ones. Serious in depth discussions, jokes come about at the right time, and nothing is forced.
When hosts listened to their guests
Spot on fella..
I quit watching TV a year ago and I don't miss the garage at all, it's the biggest waste of time and life there is!
He was stunning & intelligent. RIP Kirk.
his son Micheal looks just like him. his mini me
@@tomcat51701 I think Michael's better looking than his Father, but their voices are so similar, that if you close your eyes they sound the same. I understand Catherine became a great daughter to her father in law. Great lives.
@@corryjookit7818 I think kirk is more handsome! But it's hard to make a choice because they look almost identical
This man managed to live over 103 years of age, may he rest in peace now.
In his later years kirk became very religious, he studied Torah constantly. Said he regretted he didn't take his Jewish history seriously.
@@doug3819source?
Kirk Douglas was a very smart, articulate man. May he rest in peace now.
It's unbelevable that his son Michael is so much like him. Man, their voices are even identical!
Fruit doesn't fall far from tree
@@rickvassell8349 It does in a storm!
Emilio Estevez should play him in a biopic.
It's funny how Emilio favors Kirk and his own father! Emilio would be great to play Kirk during these years of his life.
Maybe they're clones. Just kidding.
Catching up on these archived Cavett interviews. Wonderful stuff.
Tater Bapple ... they really are so fascinating and helpful .
Me too. Love them...
Real good professional interviewer , cavett was .
Just happened here by suggestion, and noticed how similar the appearance of Dick Cavett is to the lead-guitarist and brain-child behind the Dutch rock group Shocking Blue, Robbie Van Leeuwen. Maybe go so far to say a "look-a-like".
He s a brilliant interviewer, rarely interrupts and when it happens he recognizes it and allows the person to continue.
My dad introduced me to Kirk Douglas and he became my favourite actor, and in this interview I think he was and will be the greatest. Thanks dad.
Greetings from Egypt.
Awwwe, he was such a handsome man. RIP Kirk December 9,1916 - February 5,2020. 103 years old, what a life 💙
He was the last of the classic old Hollywood guys, it's all over now sadly and history. :( R.I.P.
I was sad to hear he finally died
@@timcollum8695 103 not bad tho.
@@paulcooper5748 was for him, he died.
@@andrewh5457 We all do at some stage.
Kirk is 102...amazing man-and this interview nearly 50 years ago!
Almost half his life ago and he`s still going.
sino rich Kirk is still alive??!
sino rich Might be when he played Van Gogh... he was really brilliant in his acting.
@@joebutera1406 He's 102, 103 in december 16.
Alfredo Di Stéfano Laulhé wow man..he is def blessed..they dont make em like that anymore bro.
How best to describe Kirk Douglas? I cant find the words. He was a *man* and I admire him very much...
He was truly a deep man. Very intelligent.
I miss talk shows like this. We need talk shows like this today.
Rest in peace Kirk. Legend.
RIP Kirk. You were very cool, man.
This is so much more interesting than modern chat shows. It's like night and day.
Kirk Douglas got it about films being an escape for people, not always having to make a statement, people in Hollywood today could learn from listening to him
*cough* Marvel Movies *cough*
11 years of escapist entertainment without the hamfisted social commentary.
His son is campaigning for Bloomberg ... 🙄 💵
Exactly....Little “real entertainment” coming out of Hollywood anymore...
@@Rodshark75 yea thats long over now
His films always made a statement, that was the whole point of facing McCarthy and Roy Cohn
Watched the Vikings, Final Countdown and Gunfight at the OK Corral last night. RIP. Last of the Legends....
Not the last just yet Clint Eastwood still going 89 I think. RIP Kirk.
Yeah Kirk Douglas was one of the greats
I really had no idea he was such an intelligent and decent person. I'm inspired to watch some of his movies now to see what I've been missing.
@Judith Stevenson
Prove accusation.
Laurence O'Connor .. prove he didn’t.
@@zeldaray5562 that's not how it works: until you post a link, all readers assume he's innocent. Never heard the phrase "innocent until proven guilty"?
A couple of great ones worth checking out are 'Paths of Glory' by Kubrick and 'Lonely are the Brave'.
Rest in Peace Kirk Douglass, great man.
"verily I say unto you unless you become like a little child you will not enter the kingdom of heaven"
Think Kirk hit upon a deep truth right there...........have the spirit of a child and you'll live to be 100+
Another great actor from my childhood memories who has just past RIP
My Conclusion: He's very mature and masculine
The Canadian dream I had a massive crush on him my friends liked Elvish Presley wasn’t manly enough for me
One of my favorite actors. RIP Kirk Douglas. You will be missed.
"The reason a person goes to the movies is to forget the problems of their life", "Sometimes there's a tendency to be pretentious with movies and become too concerned with making a statement." - June 1971 Kirk Douglas. Very True. Try telling that to movie makers nowadays with all their politics and gender identities. RIP Kirk Douglas.
I agree with your statement... remember that while I also go on to disagree/make a counterpoint. Movies also are stories. Can't some of the movies you're referring to just be about a story being told? Surely there are plenty that fall into the category you described... as well as the one I mentioned. I'm not offended by any film that wants to tell a story. Whether it's about white, black, blue, green, male, female, trans, human, alien, animal...etc. Plus, I'm not ashamed to walk out of a movie and ask for my money back. I don't understand people who say: "Well, that was a waste of two hours" Unless their girlfriend made them sit through it with them. Within 20 min, I know whether I'm going to enjoy the rest of the film or not.
"Some people go to the movies because they're imagination was destroyed along time ago" Michael Hunt.'
What a Legend, loved his energy, and wisdom too....
Such an intelligent man you can tell the way he speaks and answers those questions.
I bet he didnt reckon on still being around in 2019.
Both of them.
@@brettthebad yeah,that's a point
@@brettthebad Yeah, Cavett suffered from severe depression. He underwent ECT.
Is he really inside the 102year old brain though. Maybe he's been gone a decade or more.
Me too
"We make movies to entertain, not make a statement". Wish Hollywood would heed his advice.
I do each and everyday!
CHOOKIE67 Well said, and so very true.
That struck me too. Nowadays it feels like they make TV especially just to get their own narrow politics out there. So the fun of the entertainment is (sometimes) drained of the product.
Movies are made to make money.
Kirk is now 102 years old now but yet this interview doesn't even look that old
@SHICOFF1 looking fantastic
Because that's how fast you go from midlife to ancient. why the expression, Life is short.
@SHICOFF1 Half a lifetime ago for him *shakes head* Amazing
Kirk was a humanitarian and a true visionary. RIP Kirk
From the golden age of Hollywood. Mr. Kirk Douglas was a joy to watch as a actor. So many great ones from those days. When a great inspired script and great actors made for a really great movie. " I love you Spartacus."
What a beautiful man . Mind and physically .
Great man, and a great actor. Thanks, Kirk, and thanks to Dick for the interview.
With all the deserved accolades for Mr. Douglas, we should all give a heartfelt thanks to his family for sharing a husband and father to such a high degree. Unfortunately, with most of old Hollywood gone or fading fast, it's going to be a constant feeling that an era is gone and that God has thrown away some mighty wonderful molds. RIP Sir.
Looking back when Dick Cavett aired, I thought his show was really different from the other talk shows of the day like Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin. His show format was way ahead of it's time. Many of his guests and topics were controversial for the time and main stream television largely avoided them.
My favourite all-time film "Spartacus", epic , just like Kirk Douglas.
Too violent for me.
@@paintinganimalsonrocks7633
More violent than films of today???
@@successschhoolofmotoring No. Probably not. But I don't watch violent new movies either.
@@paintinganimalsonrocks7633 wasnt as violent as the true story !
@@deanodog3667 I'll bet! I know my sons LOVED it as well as Kirk. He was a very good actor. And handsome.
He was a cool and astute man. Manly and a gentleman at the same time.
He was my favourite actor. We all have a bad part of our nature, but if we use that energy in a more focused way, we’d achieve so much more. I think Mr Douglas was a determined single minded personality and he honed his craft with real skill to become one of the best. He must have spent hours training for acting roles such as Spartacus and in the Vikings. Can’t say any modern actor would do so well in those roles. Can’t name one.
He's so like Michael, he even sounds like him, I have to remind myself it's kirk speaking. He's gorgeous.
You’ve got it backwards; Micheal is so like Kirk, his father. But I agree with you that he was a very handsome fellow.
Michael looks SO much like him ,even the manerism ,voice , everything
Very true.
This guy does the best Michael Douglas impression.
Hahaaa a clone!!
Kirk and Michael Douglas have absolutely amazing careers. great conversational piece, btw.
One of Hollywood's greatest. I love actors like Kirk Douglas, proper old school and not like the majority we have now. Bless him.
48 years later and this guy is still above ground.
Yep, Kirk never disappointed, smart articulate man. I never saw his early movies, mostly westerns, Spartacus, 20,000 leagues, always fun to watch. Just found one called The Villain, comedy western I've never seen. I remember seeing the preview decades ago, where he goes to leap on a train I think. and misses. Looks like fun. What a life!! RIP. Kirk.
DID YOU SAY THAT you never saw The Villian? Arnold was in it. He was named after his father, Handsome Stranger! It’s literally a live interpretation of The Road Runner cartoon!
@@SonnyGTA Yeah never went when I was a kid. Wasn't into that kind of movie, never like Monty Python either. I've mellowed with age. 😁
Rest in peace Kurt Douglas. You are truly one of the greatest actors of your time.
Gotta love his honesty.
Natalie Wood
This mans energy and insight! LOVE KIRK
Dick Cavett, What a truly wonderful interviewer; I've learned so much about people from your interviews.
Thanks for your skill and outstanding insight into other people. You're long lost.
And a blessed, truthful actor (I've always enjoyed) who God has blessed for over 100!
Keith
What a great interview. So refreshing to hear somone of Kirk's stature (he was a bonefide, top of the line A lister in his day) say what he really thinks and not just churn out what he thinks other people want to hear.
Michael his son is very like him to look at. He looks handsome here.
Here? Pretty much everywhere. I suggest watching his films
These old interviews are just so fascinating to watch and hear!
"Lonely Are the Brave" is a personal Kirk Douglas favorite of mine. No one could compare his acting (and presence) to anyone else. He was one-of-a-kind. His portrayal of Vincent Van Gogh shows his brilliant ability, and as a kid I was horrified when he cut off part of his ear. God has you now, Mr. Douglas, and well-deserved, I'm sure.
Loved Kirk Douglas in "Lust for Life." He was a brilliant underrated actor.
Yes, he was excellent in that.
He is so relatable. Love this
I am absolutely amazed by how much his son sounds, and looks like his Dad
A man of many passions kind of a force of nature. RIP
I really enjoy watching these highlights from Dick Cavett. This was from a time when my parents were still young.
Kirk was an awesome actor.
RIP Mr. Douglas.
Kirk lived to be 103 because he kept his childish side alive, when you are childish at heart, not being afraid to play with toys, read comic books, etc, you live past the age of 100
If you keep active and don't eat junk
A great great heroe from my school days. Loved this guy.
Near death experiences and the bloke is still alive! What a legend!
I am Spartacus ! Thank you Mr. Douglas for your art . You kept me entertained for many years !
Great interview and responses. I wish more people were like him.
Such an intelligent authentic being ❤
Thanks for the many years of movies Kirk your a gentleman whose acting was always 1st class.
RIP
Great actor and a great man.
I have to admire Kirk Douglas, not just as an actor but as a human being.
Hmmm....
@@Luvie1980 ?
He was my acting idol one of the best actors ever,RIP😘
Date aired - 29th June 1971 - Kirk DouglasTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDING ACTUAL DATE OF INTERVIEW. SO MANY DON'T BOTHER.
This is what a Hollywood star looks like.his presence,his charisma,his ability to captivate an audience.some of todays "stars" are nicking a living compared to true greats like kirk.tom cruise,brad pitt,tom hanks are cut from the same cloth but a lot of todays actors are lucky shall we say to be box office stars when previous talent was so much greater and stronger.
One of the great actors of our times --- totally respect Kirk Douglas as a person and actor.. God bless you, Kirk
What an immensely likeable man...I'd have loved to have met him. I'm thinking of him walking the oars in The Viking as he was telling his story of falling into rocks. I must try and get a copy of Vincent....what a fine actor and a very honest and open man...Dick allowed Kirk to open up and show himself....another great interview!
I really like Kirk Douglas' look here.
Montevideo me too
Yes, he looks soooo attractive. (Sorry, Michael, you’re good-looking but not in your dad’s league :-). Not sure what movie he grew this beard for.
It's so refreshing to see this honesty from a Hollywood star. Kirk Douglas, a man.of honour
Really fascinating interview.....
The truly unique, charismatic and gifted actor, producer, director, philanthropist and writer Kirk Douglas. My all-time favorite actor; I've loved and respected this man more than any other, since being in the first movie I've ever seen as a child.
Despite his remarkable longevity to 103, supreme talent, intelligence combined with graceful humbleness for someone of his legendary status, he will also live forever in everyone who cherished him. RIP with much love Kirk...would've given anything to meet you personally to say so.❤️️🌟
Smart, talented dude, now 102 years old, a very impressive life. And Dick's still around too!
Adam Markowitz He died last week 103.
Mr. Kirk Douglas is spot on in his view of learning the world around us and above all contributing to make the world a better place for having lived however great or small the contribution. Too many live in their own little monastery, thinking they can "divorce" from the world. Not a good legacy.
Great actor, great personality.
pure gold. even Douglas making comments that are still new
I love the way he is so as a matter of fact, and is comfortable with all aspects of who he is! The strong side and weak side 🤓
I closed my eyes and listened. It was as if Michael was speaking to me.
Such a torrent of an individual just left us to shine as stardust in the universe.......
Im amazed at the amount of people saying they think hes coming off as really intelligent. They seem to say something similar about every actor on this channel, and excluding Orson Wells, most seem ordinary to me. Not idiots, but regular intelligence. Orson most certainly had a mind
Ordinary's sayin somethin these days.
Any conversation on the Cavett show seems intelligent compared to the current talk-show offerings. Seems like people weren’t as hyper-conscious of commodifying themselves. now “talk shows” are just an advertisement tour for whatever project you have coming out, and as such, the conversation is slick and lifeless
SHICOFF1-cheers, m8. have a nice one
All these old interviews...they seem to be more....human....the glazed over modern globally internet scrutinised/actor/human seems boxed up to talking not much more than flour.
As we approach the AI singularity we are becoming more robotic ourselves. Phones, the internet, computers, technology in general is programming us as much as we program it.
@@mr.h4267 Mr. Anderson....
I think it's self-selection. The more phony celebs never dared to go on Cavett.
“They go to the movies to forget their problems.” This is what we do when we don’t want to see our lives as it is. In reality, we are the ones who turn things into problems.
Kirk Douglas came before mindfulness was taught. Now we realize that pain and problems dissolve when we face them, not forget them.
One of the last of the glamorous Hollywood. So awesome he’s still around, how much he’s seen of history, film, awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 he always seemed down to earth, you can see it in his son too. They seem like you could just say hey if you saw them on the street. I miss the humbleness of celebrities...
Cavett is the best...he opens up his guests just as much as Stern does
Kirk's near death experiences.....man goes on to live over a 100 years....
he's really bright.
Great interview, he looks and sounds so much like Michael here.
Society needs another dick cavett show..such great conversations
2019 =102yrs old and still going, Kirk Douglas aka Issur Danielovitch to Lithuanian parents ....
The Ragman's son, that's the name of his biography. Good book.
I didn't hear him say anything about a near death experience
So disappointed 😢😢
Joanna Edwards click bait..imagine that.
Joanna Edwards that’s true, i am french and i thought i have forgotten something, but he spoke so clearly i have understood almost everything and no words about near death experience!!!
Kinda missed the point then.
I'm going around TH-cam looking for something and getting bored at all the self look at me crap and then I come to Dick Cavet And it's a lake of pure good intelligent viewing
Rest In Peace. I was just watching this interview 3 weeks ago
