Excellent film! Niven is an underrated and undervalued actor. He wrote a few books that were exceedingly witty. Anyone out there who hasn't seen this film, do so! ❤
I enjoyed your review of "Separate Tables." Thank you! I saw it in the theater when it was released. I think it was early 1959 when it was showing at my neighborhood theater, so I would have been 11 or 12 at that time. I have seen it once or twice since then, but not recently. I would like to see it again. I remember the basic storylines and the wonderful cast, as well as the title song (sung by Vic Damone). As far as I remember, the acting was uniformly good. I remember that David Niven and Wendy Hiller both won Oscars, he for best actor and she for best supporting actress. I remember that Gladys Cooper played an overbearing mother, somewhat similar to her role as Bette Davis' mother in "Now, Voyager." I always enjoy Gladys Cooper. I always enjoy Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster, and Rita Hayworth too. I remember that Rod Taylor and Audrey Dalton also were in it, but I don't remember a whole lot about their performances. Thanks again for your video. I will look for this film and will rewatch it when I find it streaming somewhere.
Thanks Julie! Yeah, Gladys Coopers character is very similar to her character in Now, Voyager. But like you I also enjoy her performance. It is fun to know, that you saw it when it was released. I wish more people knew of this film, since I think it is a great classic. Thanks again for your continuing support!
@@thefilmclassic4210I'm pretty sure I have seen Gladys Cooper playing an overbearing mother in a few other films as well. 😆 But I also have seen her in different types of roles, especially when she was younger. She was versatile, and also beautiful.
@@thefilmclassic4210 Another thing about this film is that in my mind I sort of get the Rod Taylor/Audrey Dalton couple confused with the George Segal/Elizabeth Ashley couple in "Ship of Fools." 😃 In both films, they are young couples sitting at a table talking!
@@julieborel3043 That is probably true. I have never seen Ship of fools unfortunately, even though In love Stanley Kramer. But I promise you when I I see it, I will take a look at that couple to notice the similarities 🙂

I agree Janet! Niven was more than just an comedic actor and this film really showcases his strengths. Thanks so much for watching!
