I've rarely seen Burton so tickled

[@autoad]

This is when television respected the guests and the audience with intelligent questions and insightful, revealing replies.
Today, talk shows are superficial nonsense that wastes everybody's time.

[@szimultan00]

One of the best interview from Dick.

[@MTMF.london]

These two have a surprisingly similar kind of face with same kind of smiles. If I didn't know who they were, I could be persuaded to think that they were related.

[@nataliedelagrandiere4022]

I love Richard Burton.

[@nataliedelagrandiere4022]

Great voice!

[@petercondos1018]

The REAL TIME In Hollywood these actors were .

[@MTMF.london]

They were true legends. The so-called stars of today are not fit to shine their shoes.

[@thomassaehler9038]

Why were their chairs so close together?

[@brooklynboiprod]

That looks very uncomfortable for me

[@MichaelJShaffer]

For filming on television's 4:3 aspect ratio, not 16:9 of today.

[@brooklynboiprod]

@@MichaelJShaffer They could've just zoomed out a little more

[@MTMF.london]

Those were the days before people were wary of sitting too close to others in case of Covid or some other infectious diseases spreading to them.

[@peregrino9154]

Who dis white man?

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

Seems like a jerk.

[@Nyquil5]

Burton or Cavett?

[@chaipup7045]

[@breakingbinge7815]

I mean… your opinion would be valid, if irrelevant, if you provided any explanation.
