Uhh... "Withnail & I?"

Remarkable. I wish I could have heard more. I just read her biography on Wikipedia, and was amazed at all the associations and liaisons she had in the late 19th and early-mid 20th centuries, so what a surprise to find this interview. I appreciate her comment about the benefits of idleness, although easier to do so when you’re the granddaughter and heiress of a rail car magnate. Still, she was productive enough in her own way in fostering community and writing her own works.

SCREN TWO "The Kremlin Farewell" Series 6;Episode 12 April 1,1990

Tshombe un traitre, il est en enfer.

I just finished reading My Father And Myself from which this was derived. It's a better book, but this dramatization is pretty good

I really don't get the 1930's images and music. How does that connect to Patti Smith in the early seventies?

He's a great actor, seems like he'd be a great friend as well.

Dreary.

unfortunately I don't see anything other than an old lady full of herself

Masculine women and feminine men! It's been around forever.

I remember the Twin Towers going up

It's not a film. It's a recording of people mouthing lines from a novel. Possibly a great novel, but an inept screenplay.

He is a very nice man. He and Olivier got on very well. Travelled round Germany after the war.

Strange how many deny the 6 million jews as not accurate number, yet they don't deny the vast number of 20 million russian people and soldiers they don't deny.

Thank you so much for posting this !

Love how hes smoking a cigarette in that tiny studio with that little baby right next to him. What a selfish pig.....jeez😢

"I had no friends or boyfriends." Well, maybe. But I've seen her high school yearbook and she seemed to be pretty popular.

Wow , four years before "Horses"😂❤

Thank you for this one! #neverforget

LOVED IT, BIGTIME!!!!!! THANKS 100MILL UPLOADER.

Whatever you do, don't skip the Jonathan Miller parts.

Very good. I love the 18th-century Edinburgh typography too. Is that from the original publication? The reading is a bit off in places. NOTE: the verse on Music was written by Constant Lambert.

I detect a bit of shaking. What an incredibly interesting man.

They smoked like chimneys back in the day, indoors, on public transportation , in movies! Everywhere!!

Is this clip in the public domain?

In case anyone's wondering who "Father Zossima" is, Jonathan Miller is referring to a character in Dostoyevsky's novel, 'The Brother's Karamazov'.

Cuts off abruptly at about 1:16:30 ... I don't know if he was going to say a little bit more just as the music was starting or if " Am I ? " really are the last words . Very good premise to this movie about Anne Frank and her diary and ... this woman here . Clear Bloom's acting was superb .

At 20:30 he says " I think of you as the Jew who got away " ... then he explains " ... yet despite that all you write about are Jews . "

At about little before 19 minutes in and after can you imagine having dinner at someone's house and then having to witness all of that ?

4:57 anybody know the song? So beautiful

Anybody know the song it's beautiful

I am so glad I stumbled upon this. I loved it. But, I also love Patti

one of the three great giants of 20th century British theatre, the other two were of course Gielgud and Olivier. together they achieved almost complete dominance of the British stage for most of the 20th century

scrut scrut scrut (rats in the foxholes) him and Rosenberg so evocative of the First World War. First of the moderns.

This is a brilliant interview. A few weeks ago I went to an example seminar by the wonderful Matthew Jarvis and the topic was In Parenthesis. I then read it and became obsessed, immediately reading Jones' biography by Dilworth and this interview is mentioned in it. This should actually also be available in the Bangor and Aberystwyth archives, and if it isn't they should make copies. Important bit of history.

"Little did I know that the place was filled with faggots!" Oh Patti! Oh Patti~!

"Little did I know that the place was filled with faggots." Oh Patti! Oh Patti!

I read the book "Markings" and was so moved by his profound writing. He was a great great and Godly man.

Is that Moondog I see for a moment?

Thank you. Patti Smith and Jonathan Miller. Inspirational. ❤

Ralph Richardson the best actor ever.😊😅😊😅🎉❤

Thank you for this, I was in it too part of The Madeley School gang as extras. A bunch of us went we had long hair at the time they said the hair cut would be short my modern standards 1st day they skinheaded us, first go of the clippers was back to front across the middle of my head so you can't change your mind 🤣😀😂😂 What a great experience it was for normal high school kids to be extras in a BBC film

You can really hear her talk forever

Incredible!

Thank you for posting this. Extraordinary woman.

Patti Smith . Who else is so girly and grown up , so sweet and so strong , so fragile and tough , so streetwise and innocent , so solitary and yet so sought after she’s never alone, never.

Patrick Garland did the most wonderful interviews!

does anyone know what the jazz music is thats playing throughout the program??

More popular now than ever in his lifetime. 🙏📚

An eye for an eye... As to Mrs Arendts book I found it insightful, questioning and even humerous and think it accompanies anything about Eichmann perfectly. #STOPIsrael #Palestina
