I was enjoying listening Richard Attenborough and Dick Cavett having a conversation, and then suddenly I saw John Guielgud and Ralph Richardson appear and nearly fell off my chair. Spectacular!
3 British acting titans on one show, who knew, utterly incredible! 😮🤓🇬🇧🏴
Indeed!! Legends of a bygone era. never to be seen again either on the stage or silver screen.
Lawrence Olivier was the man missing in that show.
Anne Bancroft was the actress that Attenborough recruited to play Winston Churchill's mother.
Good choice!
Unlike some who did no justice to their roles, she had a great screen presence.
Dick Cavett surrounded by interesting guests with a shared heritage who are willing to talk is the best sort of youtube.
Good God! Richard Attenborough, John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson together on the Dick Cavett Show . . . and all we got was four minutes and twenty-one seconds??? Please tell me there's more somewhere.
I know right. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Great line up
Contrast these intellects to the moronic imbeciles passing as "celebrities" now.
To be fair they were actors. Not great intellectuals. They were indeed the celebrities of their day. Other much greater men were ignored by the popular press.
@@HolgerRuneFan I'D RATHER NOT, I'M DEPRESSED ENOUGH THESE DAYS.
You Laterally (well... figuratively) took the words out of my mouth!
Sir Richard Attenborough was a brilliant actor and director. Excellent as Pinkie in Brighton Rock and totally chilling as Christie in 10 Rillington Place.Fondly remembered.
He was great in the great escape.
@@salvadormarley totally agree. One of the very best actors and an excellent director. He knew his craft well.
@@tomhamilton5261 We'll build 3 tunnels. We'll call them Tom Dick and Harry :)
Sand Pebbles too
Saw it on the telly recently,such a good movie..the great Robert Shaw plays Churchill's father!
Another winner for Mr. CAVETT! Brought out the very best in Attenbourgh. Bravo DC!!!
Just recently I found that this man was the Jurassic Park owner...that's soo cool!!!!😆😆😆
What a 3 fine gentlemen we got in this interview...👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
he was an actor from young and then a diretor. He directed the film Gandi. His brother is still alive, Sir David Attenborough who is an environmentalist and willife expert.
Sheesh... was John Gielgud ever young? :P It is interesting to see him here with Richard Attenborough... the two would later work together in 'Gandhi' (1982) - I think one of the best movies ever made.
Sir Dickie had a fantastic career. My personal favourite film that he starred in was the brilliant 1959 comedy, I'm Alright Jack, with Peter Sellers and Terry-Thomas.
Sellers as the Communist cliche-repeating shop steward was great, wasn’t he?
@@mdnis Capital, brother. Capital! Great character! Up there with my other two favourite Sellers roles, Dodger Lane in Two Way Stretch and Pearly Gates in The Wrong Arm of The Law.
There is speculation now that Churchill's father had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) rather than syphilis, but there was a lot of it about in late 19th Century England.
RIP Winston you had your good points and the rest is History
Would love to see that full episode, what a line-up
Jerome Avenue in The Bronx is named after Churchill’s Grandfather.
Yes, Wall Street stock speculator Leonard Jerome was Winston's grandfather on his mother's side. Here's a fun tidbit about him: During the 1863 NY Draft Riots Leonard, a stockholder in The NY Times, took to the roof of the Times building with a Gatling gun to defend it from marauding rioters who were vandalizing and setting fire to nearby buildings. So it is safe to say WC got his tenacious fighting spirit from both the American and English sides of his family!
Oh my God. This was wonderful.
I will forever love Richard as John Hammond from Jurassic Park!
He made a good Santa too in the Miracle on 34th Street remake
Spared no expense!
Good in Flight of the Phoenix
Great clip, but I'd like to see the full episodes. Such a fascinating entertainment period in history and Dick Cavett was great along with the program's creators and producers, at capturing that so succinctly.
three brilliant actors and brilliant men
A triumvirate of renowned actors on one stage! Although it is a different milieu, it is unfortunate that the theater appearances were not immortalized on film. Gielgud's Hamlet, Richardson's Falstaff and Attenborough's success as an actor and director. Their kind will come no more.
I was working in a barber salon in seedy Soho London 1971, in walked Attenborough with Simon ward, and Jane Seymour the acctres, Attenboroughs daughter in law, along with Simon ward who played young Winston, also two much younger boys who played even younger Winston, Simon ward had medium long hair but when my boss finished his hair it was remarkable the resemblance, the famous churchillian jaw
Bet you wished you had a camera
@@Mute040404 my boss had Probably had the most distinguished clientele you could ever imagine, but the salon was up some stairs just of the Charring cross road, very seedy place, I recall one Saturday morning he asked me to call a phone number for him for a client, it was Lester Pigot the champion jockey, look him up, to get such a man on the phone on a Saturday morning was something else, Lester took the call within seconds
three legends together.
Just Gielgud and Richardson sitting off to the side!
WHAT A GREAT LINE-UP OF ACTING TALENT, NOW, SADLY, GONE.
"We're going to make a film about Churchill, we've spared no expense!"
Many thanks for this. It would be wonderful to see some of John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson segment of the interview!! Any possibility?
I can't help but think of Richard Attenborough's portrayal of John Christie in "10 Rillington Place". *"There there now Beryl, don't struggle so..."*
The most chilling film I ever saw, because it is completely true!
A true "talk" show as opposed to the late night Variety Shows we usually see.
damn, the brits are just wonderful !
*the english
@@jac9301 Blimey! and all my 71 years I thought your neighbors were pretty damn cool,too. My mistake...sorry!
@@jac9301 They are both, as you well know.
Amazing how this British accent has almost become extinct within a generation. Not too many young lads speaking the Queen's these days like the fellas in this video.
Perhaps your comment itself can explain it.
It's certainly not an Irish accent, it's not a Welsh or Scottish accent, then why is it a British accent?
It's an Englishman's accent, which is how Richard's character would have described it himself in the Great Escape.
As England is torn apart by globalism and inclusion, so is the accent. Politically incorrect, but nevertheless the truth.
@@DrWhiteViper Not really. I think the accent has faded due to the breakdown of the formerly very rigid class system that was particularly prevalent in Britain throughout centuries. The line between classes has become more and more blurred throughout the years and with this, so have relationships. People no longer marry within their respective 'classes'.
@@Brickcellent Yes, but I think they're one in the same. The reason the classes have blurred is because of globalism and the outsourcing of the working class to the third world.
@@DrWhiteViper devils that Britain, it could easily be said, invited to the door.
@@DrWhiteViper It's not the accent of a Scouser or a Geordie or a Yorkshireman, there is no such thing as you describe either.
Wow. three legends on stage with Dick. Gotta see the rest of this show. Where is it?
How language is supposed to be used and how people are supposed to talk, in my humble opinion.
Ralph Richardson rode a BMW 750cc
He was in his early seventies .
Check out Bonham auction site
Please could we have the interview with Ralph Richardson and John Geilgud. Thanks
The reference to a motor cycle refers to Ralph Richardson who use to ride one and had a pet owl that use to cling to the handle bars as he rode 😎
Who knew that Ralph Richardson and Sirius Black had something in common! Ha ha!
*pet parrot
Haha this is a good representation of British and American humor when they talk about the siphyillus
*syphilis
*English not British.
@@jac9301 Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish humour is no different.
@@nkt1 Yes it is. You've either experienced gentrified version of that culture or you're just guessing. A night in an Irish pub is completely different to a Scottish one and the same with Wales.
@@jac9301 Quite. But your assertion that the jocular treatment of syphilis is peculiarly English rather than British is complete nonsense.
Wow I've never seen him this young before.
Watch the film The Great Escape.
I got to believe that this entire episode is part of the lineup on DECADES as they are running all of Dick's shows from ABC and PBS.
Sir Richard was an extraordinary man of immense talent and despite his wealth, was a proud socialist all his life. Many people don't realise that he was also one of Steve McQueens greatest friends.
What makes Cavett better than today....he let the guests talk...and just nudged the conversation along. Can you imagine Jimmy Fallon doing that?
Attenborough didn’t say much about Churchill there, but John Gielgud is always interesting.
I love your channel. I hope you will post the Gloria Steinem interview :)
God this is one classy talkshow !!
This was interesting
Talk about acting royalty!
Magnificent british accent
Wow amazing
The intelligence ,especially when compared to this century
Especially compared to the last 4 years.
Attenborough looks like James Spader here.
Remember when TV wasn't entirely scripted, and contained small moments of silence and even awkwardness that made it look real and interesting?? I don't either.
The movie Attenborough is talking about I believe starred The Graduate "seductress" playing Jenny.
Man does he look like Tennessee Williams without glasses. Seriously do a comparison look at the video with Tennessee in it and look at this guy.
actually yes he does in a way, great spot
Didn't Robert Shaw have Cavett going on the part he played in Richard's movie? He played Churchill's dad in the movie.
i 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 a part of the main cast?
Who's here while watching the Jay Leno interview of Ironman on Hulu?
Age suited Sir Dickie. He looked his best from 1990 on.
Dr Grant, my dear Dr Sattler... Welcome to Jurassic Park
I don't understand why these segments are chopped out in this way. It's not as if you're trying to get people to buy whole shows. And I can't imagine there's a great deal of licensing money to be made. So why the decontextualized patchwork?
My dad fought in north Africa among other places, Never swore, never bad mothed Anyone... Till a program was on the bbc saying what a hero he was... He called CHURCHILL a "MURDERING BASTARD"... even my mum was stunned into silence..... He was a very clever man, very well read.
Yes I used to admire him until I realised how cavalier he was in his decision making which cost many young lives including my uncles
@@stephenchappell7512 I mean, Churchill was a racist who has the blood of at least 4 million Indians on his hands, through a man-made famine.
"Welcome to Jurassic Park"!
Hmmm. Who is the reptile in this puff piece?
Really liked young winston
It's hard to recognize Richard Attenborough as the white haired/bearded dude from JURASSIC PARK!!
No really hard, he was one of the reptiles in disguise.
Spare no expense
Wow! We consider all current late night hosts to be a come down from Johnny. But Johnny is a come down from Caveat. How far we have fallen!
No, no. Johnny had a different audience.
Richard was in the john wayne movie brannigan richard was the british captain fun movie at the pub. Everyone got in a brawl. Including richard 😂
F**K ME ! Look at that guest list...Never seen Young W. I have to watch it now...did not know it was a Dickie Film...
Spared no expense 😉
Brighton Rock for me. Pinky was pure evil.
0:47 why does Cavett mess with his socks?
Hmm......good old school actors : ‘We are such stuff as dreams are made of......’ - in daily life - sweet of nightmare - but never the analyst’s couch.....
Hmm, not much point in posting there in HD when the source is obviously so low-res, is there?
WTF up the Khyber pass was an awesome movie
one of my favourite comedy films of all time.
Qué the jurrasic park theme tune
Accents you rarely hear these days.
He is very british
All three will be knighted no?
@@unclenogbad1509 Interesting information. Thank you for the response.
Was the third brother the black sheep?
@@Acrocanthosaurus Sorry to say, I checked my facts and found I'd remembered wrong - there was something like that, but can't remember what. The third brother, John, definitely existed - guess he must have been the quiet one.
Back when talk shows were intellectual.
Keith Richards would have livened up this four minutes. Now that would be interesting..Keef as a "walk on" !
It's embarrassing to say that the English truly have lost every skill they once had in communication.
Churchills Mother, Jenny Jerome was an Americn beauty. she married his father because back then the Americns wanted titles for their daughters and the titled English wanted the money from these American heiresses. i believe Randolph churchill, his Father, was a womaniser and gambler.
She was at a ball I believe, in Bleinheim Palace owned by the dukes of Marlborough, and a family connection through is Father, when she went into labour ad subseuqnetly gave birth to Winstone. A room on the ground floor was hasility readied. one cn visit it on tours of Bleinham Palace, Woodstock, oxfordshire UK.
Winnie Churchill is easily as much a monster as Adolf.
He was no friend to Ireland
so many ww11 propagandists, together in one place
I'd have thought they would have separated them
like the queens sons, so one would survive, doesn't mater which
I really hate that man.
Nothing wrong with Dick Cavett at all. What's your problem?
@@kingy002 lololol
@@MissBlennerhassett876 Well I suppose you have demonstrated that you at least have a sense of humour.
George 3 was syphillitic.
There was a lot of it about.
Was he? Where did you find that information?
Not truel
President roosevelt always referred to churchill as, that drunken bafoon
But Roosevelt was a traitor to his family and a political dictator who yearned for more and more power. Otherwise known as Socialist.
1/10 never saw him on Churchill. Wouldn’t recommend.
Dick Cavett casually comparing Churchill to a saint, like something he might have heard in a previous conversation. I take issue with that, all i will say is the black and tans, no saint there.
Shame Churchill created the bengal famine and was an extreme racist!!! One mans saint is not the world’s.
HE IS A GROOVY ACTOR
The last 30 second portion of the video is just a mind trick English people try to use. They use as many words in a row (the more obscure the better) to make it sound like they know what they’re talking about. It’s basically a simple, sometimes even stupid, idea that is decorated with language. This is a great example of that.
