Anyone who can use " inquisitorial " in a sentence is educated in my book! I adored Ustinov from the moment I discovered him. A raconteur par excellence, writer, actor and bon vivant. A true original. ( This interview was during the quiz show scandal that evolved from Twenty-one and 64,000 Dollar Question. )
It is after all highly amusing following so many interviews of Sir Peter Ustinov circling round the stupidity and conventions of our societies. He also could have been visited by the PR guys of the Lemmings planning department as to what kind of boots he prefers for the walk over the cliff. And he knew it every second. What a soul and spirit of a man still ever trying to make up our minds. ♥️
A great, and yet highly dated interview. However, I've watched him addressing intemporal topics. Ustinov matured like a great vintage Portwine. Amazing watching both of them smoking in such an intense, vigorous manner. Not used to see that. Arguably, sitting in front of a TV (or in a movie theater), people were induced to smoke all the time.
What a treasure
Brilliant man.
Peter Ustinov actor legendary 🎭
Theatre 🎭

Ustinov is brilliant of course, but Mike Wallace is probably one of the best interviewers there has ever been.
Ustinov was amazing
If you watch ..hey is NOT Really smoking...😮.. just my opinion
The speeded up ciggie ads are a hoot! Just what was in those things!
Wonder if he ever meant with christopher hittchens ? I would have loved to be at the table for that conversation..😂😂
Sorry. I meant it does not look like Ustinov is really smoking. He doesn't inhale. Looks more like he's just doing it for the sponsor.
" the cigarette is giving me cancer".
does look like Ustinov is really smoking. Just a favor for the sponsor. Doesn't inhale.
Peter ( Ustinov? ) does he play Russian hockey? 🏒 I wonder 🤔 ...Peter ...do not smoke ...that is weak smoking 🚬 my good man
Ustinov starred in one of my favorite movies of all time, “Topkapi.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topkapi_(film)
