I rewatched 'The Night Porter' a couple of nights ago, as I have not seen it for a while and I have a fascination for 'controversial' films (another recent rewatch being 'Videodrome') that have caused a stir during any era. Dirk Bogarde is extremely good in the protagonists role within the film but it is (sadly for Dirk) Charlotte Rampling who is the real icy, overshadowing standout. While not a perfect film overall, it is a cool, uncompromising and fairly realistic (to the degree that it could go) within a dream like setting, portrayal of a deep, intense relationship which goes beyond the boundary of convention. Bogarde was a charismatic actor and screen presence, with an aura about him that stays with you beyond closing credits. I have seen quite a few of his films being a Brit, with the familiar notables being The Servant, Victim and Death in Venice. His legacy lives on and will continue to do so in future, I am sure. Thanks for covering his contribution to the flickering cinematic world
He said in an interview that seeing Belsen impacted deeply, and that whenever a director was having a hissy fit at him he would laugh inside and think 'you can't frighten me, silly man'
Not only extremely handsome, but a multi-talented actor among many of his talents.,This post was very interesting and it just elevated my respect for Dirk Bogarde even more. I think the movie I loved mostly was 'The Singer not the Song''..oh my, he was so handsome and mysterious in this movie...and then the wonderful theme song was the icing on the cake.
All of your presentations are wonderful but this struck a special note. A brave man of substance. I've always had a thing for multi-talented* Dirk Bogarde, but his experiences in WWII affected me deeply. My wonderful, late father, who was a first-wave D-Day Omaha Beach Lt. and medic, was also involved in the push eastward after D-Day. His only spoken story about the push east -- more details appearing in his memoirs -- was about a German doctor who willingly volunteered to be a POW of the Allies so that he could help with medical aid. Herr Doktor did this because (and I quote) he was "... sick of the Wermacht." Now I'm wondering if Dad and Derek ever crossed paths... [*overused term but in this case it's spot on]
Yes he really was multi-talented - and if he crossed paths with your father - well, maybe we will never know but amazing to think they were going through that same experience.
Thank you for profiling an actor I've wondered about since the 60s. I felt there was more to Dirk Bogarde than we were shown and that perhaps his career wasn't more impressive because for some unknown reason, he didn't, "catch on." This documentary reveals what so many do: an individual who was more profound and more complicated - and made choices with more integrity - than Hollywood and the entertainment industry were willing to accept. I remember being intrigued by the name, "Bogarde," as it echoed the name of the earlier and more prominent Humphrey Bogart - which was an unusual name in itself. I wasn't surprised to learn it was a, "stage name," yet very much related to the actor's given name. I remember TV trailers for the movie, "Damn the Defiant" - which I believe aired on CBS during the 60s. I never watched the movie all the way through, yet even then I recognized the names Alec Guinness and Dirk Bogarde. I hope to revisit the film and see how the Russell Crowe period drama, "Master And Commander..." compares to it. Your presentation was good. I liked the low-key, female narration that almost suggested an AI voice. It was a good way to focus on the subject. I also had to jot down the phrase, "paper-thin parts in paper-weight films," that caught my ear and highlighted a well-written script. I also liked the commercial insertion that was evident yet in the flow of the narration. I'm subscribing. Thank you for this enlightening feature on an actor of impressive courage and depth, Dirk Bogarde.
Thank you for your comment - I never thought of the Bogart-Bogarde connection before. And I can assure you it’s not an AI voice although I understand many are concerned by that nowadays (saw a video narrated by Morgan Freeman recently that someone commented was ‘AI’ so am in good company..)
It has been established that he was at BB upon its liberation. DB had beautiful feminine eyes that conveyed much emotion. He was excellent in night porter. He looked GREAT in his tailored uniform and slicked back hair. There are several interviews with him on YT. In one he stated he left Hollywood because the powers that be wanted him to marry a woman...he said he wasn't going to do that. He didn't want to be controlled. Plus, the roles given him did nothing for him. Love him in Modesty Blaise which is a hard movie to watch...too long and not funny.
Ok. I respect and like the profound research and storytelling of this channel Although the female narrator obviously does not speak other languages than American. I do speak French Spanish Italian Catalan and being German of course German. The quality of the documentaries is great. That is essential for me.
I enjoyed David Niven's books, but he confined himself to 2 memoirs. 10 memoirs sounds like Proust off his OCD meds. The Guardian reported, two days after Sir Dirk's death, that he left an estate valued at £779,000 ("after tax") and two Picassos that were not explicitly valued. So he was worth maybe $2-2.5M then (rounding up a bit on the Picassos) call it $4-$5M now (rounding up on reported inflation). He didn't have 6 marriages like Tony Curtis, who died infinitely richer. I guess the art house route cost him and I wonder if he was always frugal. His obscure nephew got most of the loot.
@@cattymajiv Reasonable points. We can't really know, can we? He could have sheltered income in Switzerland and still spoken French and worn little berets and eaten quiche. He needed a better accountant. How would that have hurt? It wouldn't have hurt at all. British & French taxes were punitive for nearly his entire lifetime. He could have doubled his net worth with a better accountant and that, in my view is a bit of a tragedy. One more modest point: you are scarred by liberating a Nazi concentration camp as a young Captain and 30 years later you make what can only be described as a Nazi porn movie? Night Porter is a travesty. So: he needed a better accountant and a better soul.
A couple of those autobiographies were really compilations of other writings but he did churn out a new book every year or so when his 6 novels are included. He sold over a million copies of his books over his lifetime, a 'nice little earner' for an (almost) retired actor. In 2008 a collection of a fraction of Bogarde's extensive correspondence was published and perhaps gives a better insight into his complicated nature than his tidy, well-written biographies.
@@IntrospectorGeneral (I like "introspector General" by the way. I used to be "ironic jihad" until I have up, reveled in my obscurity, and used my real name. Danny Kaye should have been Introspector General.) Life is fragile. Dirk had a range of talents that he displayed to our profit. Good life, well done old chap, wildly better than most. Two caveats: (1) Again, 60s/70s, from a tax perspective. Francophile-friendly Switzerland was the place to live. I am so disappointed in his accountant. (2) Night Porter was arthouse Nazi porn. Charlotte Rampling, a great actress, was sexually exploited. (She was so great in The Verdict). You liberate a concentration camp - good show - and then you star in a movie where an SS man engages in sadomasochistic sex with a former victim? Sorry. Rum show. It's on the level of the Jerry Lewis concept for Day the Clown Cried but more porny. Ah well. Homer nods.
@@RayCooper-l8wOne that is not mentioned is Quartet by W Somerset Maugham. He plays a young man who desperately wants to be a concert pianist but doesn’t make the grade. I won’t spoil the ending for you. The other stories are, in my judgment, better and better acted.
GLAD TO ANNOUNCE I have his memoir "Snakes and Ladders (=...)". Qualified but troubled, (as always) would have been a more appropriate tle .. His most memorable line, howevuuhh, goes :"By the way, I m busy then, I have an appointment in London". (=to pick up V.C.). IMNSHOAO, (=in my not so humble of an opinion) both the line and the actor could be considered a masterpiece of the limey UNDERSTATEMENT. Among quite a few other merits. Suggest, dig up & watch APPOINTMENT IN LONDON.
Always thought Bogarde was a good actor and very handsome however apart from his films I knew nothing about him. Very interesting bio. Didn’t like the narrator
One related point: he would have helped himself financially had he lived in Switzerland rather than France. He could have chosen the French-speaking part. Huge tax savings in the 60s & 70s: Dirk wasn't even trying.
@@cattymajiv We have no idea how happy this Night Porter Nazi porn actor born 103 years ago actually was. This cannot be reliably reconstructed. But I suspect, when it came to money he wanted more of it rather than less of it like nearly all of us. France, in the 60s & 70s was a terrible home base. Sir Michael Caine has settled there but only after decades of superb tax planning and strategic moves. Dirkster was a human being. He didn't want less money, he wanted more money, he lived well, he owned Picassos. Shame, shame on his accountant.
Although Bogarde claimed to be one of the first into Belsen, it has since been debunked after military records proved he was never anywhere near the camp. If he could lie about a major incident like that then all his other claims are dubious too.
There were witnesses on this Belsen event, he went with other two officers one of them was MP. While they were there an Austrian translator worked for intelligent Cops. Name Andre Codin Was witness of their activities,and this was recorded memoir in Imperial war museum. Also he never claimed that he was first in to Belsen.
He wasn't a "spy". He was like so many other celebrity types who embroidered and lied about their WW2 experiences - David Niven & Christopher Lee, for example.

Yes, his autobiographies are very good.

I want to read them now. I never heard of this guy. Handsome man.
The Private Dirk Bogarde is a must watch. Very enchanting Arena presentation. Just plain beautiful.
This is the first time I was really informed about Dirk Bogarde. I mostly knew him from "Dr. in the House" and "Death in Venice." Sad he had to live with seeing the inside of a death camp. That would destroy anyone.
So did my late father, Plus he also had to interrogate SS and Gestapo officers to see if the De-nazifaction had worked so they could be sent back into the civilian service again.
And apart from three Books writen for the archives, It did not break or really affect him too much.
Truly a physically beautiful man, intelligent, and talented. He has always fascinated me, thankyou for this respectful history 💜
Our pleasure!
The first time I saw Dirk Bogard was in 1954 in the movie Doctor in the house. I never missed a chance to watch a movie that he was in ever after.
One of my favorite actors. Thank you very much for this great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great offbeat choice. The man had courage that's for sure. And a great artist has that. Always wanted to see The Night Porter. Soon I hope. Thanks for a nice ride.
