Thank you!!!! This is absolutely precious!!!!!!! It took away my winter blues!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

THERES NO INTERVIEW HERE.

RALPH EDWARDS MUST HAVE BEEN 10 YEARS OLD WHEN HE STARTED HOSTING THIS.

Although he will always be remembered for the great Frankenstein. My favorite memory of him will be for his voice acting and Narration in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Most now will of course know him as the voice of the Grinch.

Oh what a legend.....true gentleman. Those were the days.

Ralph Edward’s could be a little cruel when some of the stars had problems.

Funny how in Hollywood the "Bad Guys" in the movies often ended up being good guys in real life. It was true of Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price, all very sweet gentlemen. And Karloff never minded being type cast in Horror films. He said it became his "trademark" and got him steady work. After Frankenstein, he was always busy and in demand for horror or villain roles, and it lasted the rest of his life. .

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Remember a few re-runs from Last century.

The GOAT…

I hate when the host interrupts the guest’s chats. It’s frustrating because I wanted to hear more of their memories with their friends!

It’s nice to see him so happy. He’s never happy and smiling in his movies.

R.I.P. William Henry Pratt (aka Boris Karloff) (1887 - 1969)

Excellent interview by Terkel. It’s things like this that make me grateful for the existence of KZbin.

Very few actors are as classy and nice!

I love Buster Keaton ❤

i was always afraid of him but he is a wonderful man so kind

If I'm not mistaken, he put up money to help CHristopher Lee to purchase his first home.

The name Pratt in British slang means stupid or foolish person.

What a kind man-and such a man must be a great actor to play such sinister people so realistically

😢

THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE! WHAT A DEAR SWEET MAN! ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS EVER!!!!

1:12:22 Gulliver: (upon coming to the rescue of Prince David of Blefuscu in favor of him and that of his lover Princess Glory of Lilliput in order to intervene and stop both the Lilliputians and the Blefuscuans from fighting each other over something as simple as their wedding songs looks down at the little people before him while safely holding in his hand Prince David completely disappointed in both sides for their warring behavior against each other) ‘poor, poor foolish little people, look what you’ve done.’ (Sternly) ‘now go ahead, break your nutshell heads over your songs.’ (Making the little people the Lilliputians and the Blefuscuans wince in shock and understanding to their own collective faults) 😒😔 (to King Little III) ‘but did you have to break Glory’s heart, King Little, because you’re thoughtless and selfish?’ (To King Bombo) ‘and you, Bombo, O mighty warrior, what have YOU won? You were too stubborn to think, too busy quarreling to lend ear to the harmony that might have been yours.’ (Giving a knowing wink) ‘but now in your sorrow and despair, perhaps you’ll listen to your songs as they might be sung.’

A great actor and a lovely man ❤️❤️

Are you alive? Like this is where I watched your videos that contain old drawings a while ago lol

Yes, the broadway producers were lightly complaining that they had to pay his salary for four years…I wonder if they were also the ones who wouldn’t allow Boris to be released to make the film version of Arsenic and Old Lace? If they had released him, they might have been able to get the less expensive Raymond Massey down from Canada to play the role of Jonathan. I’m sure Boris would have been as magnetic in the film as he must have been onstage!

Gulliver’s Travels (1939) is one ☝️ of the classic movies 🍿

sadly, the studio, i believe universal, refused to release karloff to appear in the film version of "arsenic and old lace" directed by the legendary frank capra. who had to settle for raymond massey to play the karloff role. massey did a good job but the film lost a little of its sarcastic punch by not having karloff play the role. what many don't realize is that after his first stint as the frankenstein monster karloff played a gangster in the original 1932 version of "scarface" starring paul muni and george raft. it was a bit part as katloff's character is killed by scarface's gang. but he appeared without make-up and its an interesting bit of karloff's acting career.

Fantastic interview! It makes sense that Keaton loved working with a live audience, and that he was able to respond to the crowd's reactions to make the show even better. He was a stage performer from early childhood with his family's successful vaudeville act., learning the trade through immersion, literally the school of hard knocks. He probably spent more hours onstage before he turned 18 than most actors spend in their entire lives.

One of horrors greatest actors, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Ghoul, The Black Cat and the Raven, and many many more. You will never get the likes of Karloff, Lugosi, Chaney, Cushing, Lee, Price ever again.

He kicked ass.

My late dad (1923 -1996) loved the works of both of these gentlemen. Thanks for sharing this!

Buster Keaton era um genio do Cinema mudo e depois falado.E tinha uma bonita voz.❤

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

I grew up watching him early 50s he was a great actor I have some of his movies I play them when some times . Thanks you ever much for sharing this episode KZbin 😊

Why are all American hosts on TV from that period so robotic and phoney?

I don't think the Americans got the Pratt joke at all 😂

This literally sounds like it was just recorded yesterday! I know it’s real and I know it’s from 1960 but it doesn’t sound like it was recorded in 1960.

Karloff was more excited to see his old friend Jeff Taylor and Jack Pierce than the other people. Except for his family, of course.

What a horrible interview. We learned nothing.

Wow I saw this when I was a kid on VHS

Can you imagine if they had Bela Lugosi appear on here if he was still alive.

Worth noting: 4 decades after a prop bomb exploded in his hand, Lloyd was keeping that damaged hand (which was missing fingers) hidden under his suit jacket during the interview.

Genius.

He was born in 1887...so that makes him 20 and still at school...hence the school friend !....schooling usually finished at 14.....mum and dad are gone....where did the money come from to go to canada ???..... This "story" is so full of holes !!

Buster Keaton was a true cinematic genius. His story has so many ups and downs but near the end I do hope...and I think.... He realizes how much joy he had brought to the world and how much his talent is appreciated.

I remember this show when I was a kid in the 50s

I remember this show in the 50s when I was a kid. I’m 74 yr old man in Dallas. Thank you

an excellent interview, thank you!

Thanx so much for sharing this wonderful interview by these two greats! I'm a looooong-time fan of both men, 70+ years now, so I'm really glad I found your post. It was enchanting. RIP, darling Buster and Studs, and thanx so very very much, for the magic, music, and memories.
