Every May day I keep my appointment with the Wicker Man. I could easily watch it every week but I restrict myself to once a year to keep it special. Hail the Queen of the May.
I miss you truly Edward Woodward what a gift to the world you were you are very lucky family my husband and I we followed your career first time we saw you was on The Equalizer thank God we taped all of them Senate went into getting the film for Breaker Morant Glenwood such happiness I rented the film wicker man we missed you everyday that you left us I'm sure we wanted to shock send my husband died in front of me the great gifts that we leave behind thank you for yours my dear sir Edward Woodward
All time favourite film. A true Britsh Gem. Much has been said of the strumpets of yore, Of wenches and bawdy house queens by the score, But I sing of the baggage that we all adore, The Landlords Daughter.
One of horrors truly classic films,...I've watched it numerous times,..and in Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee two of Britain's finest actors...the film as an unsettling gravity to it,..and the haunting music gives it an uneasy feel and a real atmosphere ....great film
3:33 If I was Kermode, I would have waited until Woodward was prepared to move on. He hadn't been back there for over 30 years so it must be quite a lot to take in.
In most horror films the formula is that the villain is killed by the hero at the end but in Wicker Man it's the hero who's killed at the end while the villains getaway.
There's always a new generation who discover films and TV shows so it doesn't excuse ruining the unexpected moments of them. I didn't see The Whicker Man at the cinema, far too young but caught it on TV years later. My experience of it and the shock of the unexpected would have been lessened and ruined had I seen this doc giving it all away.
that seems to be a recurring plot line in a lot of British horror films, a good man comes to a place to investigate a crime and becomes a victim himself - I remember a British horror movie called "The Asylum" where this man is sent to an asylum to investigate a series of mysterious deaths and in the end he becomes a victim himself
To be fair Edward Woodward did look basically the same for many years. He was well known as The Equalizer on TV, about 15 years after The Wicker Man, where he looks a lot like he did in the film. This interview is just a few years before he died, i think.
Relegated to B movie status. Ha! I wonder why? The film could be a documentary for the practices of the elite I'm guessing. It's too good a film and dosent make sense that it wasn't more "successful" commercially. Can't imagine a film like this being allowed now, glad it slipped through the cracks.
My partner & I spent last weekend celebrating his 50th birthday in the Wicker Man village in Kirkcudbright! We went to the Anwoth church graveyard, the school house yards across the path is now used as a holiday cottage & we had a drink in the Ellangowan pub, which doubled as The Green Man. We didn't manage to go up to where the Wicker Man itself was filmed, due to a weather change, but we will next time we go back...the final scenes still chill me!
So many amazing performances in the great classic movie and by Edward Woodward and others this is amazing

Rest In Peace, Edward Woodward. We still miss you.

Edward Woodward. What an absolute gentleman he really was. We miss you.
Edward Woodward was the best! Still miss him.
Great to see this wonderful man talking about his role in the film
Oh God! Oh Jesus Christ!
Thanks a million for the upload!
I could listen to edward woodward talk on the most boring subject on earth for hours without a problem. I just find him so relaxing to listen to him.
Great movie, Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward, just pure class
One of my favourite actors ever. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah agreed, it was only after several rewatches that I realized the songs (for me) are what made this what it is
One of those stars who is just un-star-like
He seems to be 20 years younger here than he was in The Equaliser in the 80s
What a gem of a video, whoever took this from a dodgy video recording to upload it on youtube, kudos to you, and thank you
That was so wonderful seeing this. Going to have to watch the movie again.
He was a lovely man. I love that film but loathe the ending.

Thank you for uploading this.
I enjoyed it very much x
Thanks for this. I am originally from Dumfries & Galloway (Stranraer) and remember Edward Woodward in Callan and The Equalizer.

Is Howie a good man? He's a bit of an ignorant twat to be honest.
@@obscureentertainment8303 Howie had to be a fool and a virgin, so convincingly acted by Woodward.
The restored version is very good, Ingrid Pitt was somewhat underused but in 1982 would play in the film Who Dares Wins also with Edward Woodward.
He's one of those actors who looks nothing like he did before when they made the film.

i saw somebody at The Royal Hotel Whitby around 2008 i think looked just like edward Woodward, i almost went up to him to ask
oh god oh jesu chrit

Well said especially about what the ‘ elite’ get up to
Love it,but Is it a horror film though?
what car is that Marks driving Capri???
Didn't know Val Kilmer did interviews. 😂
Cover a rush and a push
That's ruined and premptied the ending for those who haven't seen the film.
Seeing as it was 1973, I'm sure enough time had gone by to include spoilers.
oh god oh jesu chrit
