Miller on playwrights: "I personally think that what the big ones have in common is a fierce moral sensibility, which is unquenchable, and that they are all burning with some anger at the way the world is. The littler ones have made peace with it . . . ." True of all great minds as well, Mr. Miller. Thanks for the enlightenment.

[@organboi]

Fantastic. Thank you.

[@janetoss]

AM has seen it all. He does his best to answer the questions he known everyone wants to know - regardless of the absurdity. A self conscious, developed person, AM is no ordinary man.

[@ofcourse7357]

He's interviewing a great playwright and what he really wants to know is about Marilyn.

[@MrAitraining]

I know. It's irritating for me that so many searches of great modern men and interviews land me on the Charlie Rose Show. I can't get away from this droning, pretentious bore.

[@TaborTalk]

Of course - you’re not interested in that? A bit salacious and gossipy but so what

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

@@TaborTalk So it’s a waste of time, but Rose is much worse than that. In a word, he’s a phony.

[@organboi]

​@@TaborTalkNo I'm not interested.

@@organboi arthur wrote marilyn into several of his plays. yeah hes gonna ask about it.

Thanks for uploading this interview

[@organboi]

What a gift these American greats were. ONeill, Miller, Williams, inge, Foote, Wilder.

[@Kecksaja]

A pleasure to hear Miller!

[@markleslie823]

I’m sure Miller the interviewed was exhausted listening to the interviewer.

[@thefakenewsnetwork8072]

Rest in peace Sir Arthur miller

[@saskiaenglish5487]

Wow arther really intrigues me❤ 1 of the real genuine adorable intelligent man. 😍 x

[@davidkast3587]

the cost of real estate in Manhattan has absolutely had an influence on the plays that are on Broadway now. I have been saying that for a while.

[@6teezkid]

David Kast - I hear ya, but a real estate vicinity couldn’t possibly stop genius IF that genius was there and IF it was appreciated and wanted. A demand for culture doesn’t exist by our “hollyweird society”

[@tarjeik7162]

great guy!!

[@Lazarett]

Very interesting man . Can be better if we can see only him on a close focus .

[@user-dn8hd1de2d]

Charlie Rose is so obnoxious, interrupting and switching subjects and being sort of combative with the great Arthur Miller. I wish I could edit out Rose completely and just listen to Mr Miller.

[@royk.9347]

Most definitely. Not to throw shade on Charlie Rose, and I’m sure you didn’t want to either, but most definitely.

[@organboi]

​@@royk.9347I DO want to throw shade on Rose. He's insufferable.

[@6teezkid]

Can you imagine the crowds who love flashing lights, bootie and bling (like Beyoncé concert-goers...and who we are now) sitting down and going crazy about a brilliantly written play? Write new ones? Hell, the old ones aren’t even known about now. Our education is just a babysitting routine now.

[@Alexander-tj2dn]

This guy knew Marylin Monroe in a really intimate way.

[@wangmowangdi3471]

My favorite playwrights of the 20th Century are Shaw and Arthur Miller. All My Sons is my favorite from all of Miller's plays. In short, Macbeth and Hamlet by Shakespeare, Pygmalion and Arms and the Man by Shaw and All My Sons are my all time favorite plays❤❤❤

[@robertgallagher5285]

To READ All my son's to SEE Death of a Salesman!!!

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

These are my favorite twentieth-century playwrights also, but my favorite plays by them are “Saint Joan” and “Death of a Salesman”. My favorite nineteenth-century playwright is Ibsen, particularly “A Doll’s House”. My favorite Shakespeare play is “The Tempest”. All the plays you mention are very good too, of course..

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

@@robertgallagher5285 I saw a very powerful simple straight-forward production of “All My Sons”. The trouble with Salesman is that too many directors try to inject themselves into, and essentially rewrite, the play. Salesman is of course a brilliant work, but I’ve never seen a decent production.

[@robertgallagher5285]

@@jeffryphillipsburns funny I loved the Brian Dennehy Performance thanks for the great reply!!!!!

[@organboi]

SPOILER ALERT. Think about how shocking a 1940s play must have been to feature an onstage suicide by gunshot as the finale. And it worked. Not jarring or out of place. He pulled it off, and we now have one of the greatest theatrical moments in history.

[@steveconn]

Fuck, what is with Rose and his obsession with "You haven't been as good since your first thing"? He did the same with Coppola and the first Godfather, here with Miller and Death of a Salesman. Get off it, man.

[@kevgh3869]

I disagree. I think these kinds of questions or discussions get the subject to speak on a deeper level and we most likely get, as listeners, more out of the interview.

[@steveconn]

Kev G. And I disagree with that. I think it's just harassing great figures for the sake of it. If it were Albee asking that kind of question, maybe, but not 'ol 'two gin and tonics and I'll think of some questions on the ride to studio' Charlie Rose.

[@kevgh3869]

Why would he harass his guests? A large amount of them come back on his show numerous times. Asking loaded, non politically correct questions is unique in today's fluffy media talk shows. Millers answer was interesting. If anything I think Charlie dogged him about Marilyn too much, I'll give you that much. Whether that is a result of gin I don't want to guess.

[@steveconn]

Kev G. Watch him and Hitchens. If I were Hitchens I would have walked off. Rose was a prick.

[@vau0807]

I can appreciate that Rose's directness raises eyebrows, but it does elicit fascinating responses from the guest. Notice how the directness of his question at 11:24 produces a thoughtful and intriguing response from Miller.

[@jeesuekim]

I taped his later interview after his next play was "talk of the town" with many well deserved laurels. Having read autobios and bios of Elia Kazan and Hawthorne and others, there were a few misses. Hawthorne was from a family of a Judge of Salem's witch trials and said, as he's in life rather a very shy person extremely so he hides in bushes and in social functions hides in a corner pressed against the wall, that he was ashamed that he was part of that and they were aware the whole time in that group think town herded female genocide via the courtroom. That a Dramatist adds Abigail as a licentious person, giving a married man an ultimatum is pure Drama but not factual. But that's what makes his play great. Also, I love Elia Kazan, not having met him personally but having studied his work and meeting Nicholas. His matter of factness I felt was more focused on his work, and in same situation would they fink on him since he had more to fall and etc. I dont think he was a mean person jealous with any motive where he stood, to have a list. But later when in his later years and next wives and sons and families he published a book, and flops, he didn't have support as he did when he was on the top. He's a lion, but he didn't project to the end.

[@user-dn8hd1de2d]

What ARE you talking about ? Certainly not this interview.

[@noahadam6979]

The interviewer talks more than AM and has many quick questions that get AM feel bored about it. That is why AM rests his hands on face from time to time feeling like someone lacks interest in the interview. It is like a political questionnaire. The interviewer must give a good space and time to his interviewee to talk more about themselves and their works for us to know.

[@user-dn8hd1de2d]

I imagine AM was sitting there absolutely bored by CR’s questions and comparing him in his mind to some pretentious character in a play he could write about the affliction on us all of the modern day “ journalist “, as Rose refers to himself as.

[@Lobajoba]

8:01 Peter Hall was the director he was thinkint of, for those interested.

[@NoirExistence]

Ironic he discusses the psychology for electing Perot...and here we are with Donald Trump.

Long live democratic socialism and freedom

They should see America today. It would have been unimaginable for them. Except AM understood evil.

[@HTub-bo2yl]

Politics are our new theatre

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

Charlie Rose should have gone into the theater; he’d be a horrendously bad actor. Couldn’t be any worse, though, than his injecting his banal non-thoughts into interviews, interrupting every other sentence.

[@prestonlane2818]

The camera man probs had a gun to his head the whole time

[@excelsior999]

Way overrated as a playwright. When guys think of Miller their first thought isn't, "Wow. What a playwright!" It's "This homely dude slept with Marilyn Monroe." It's lucky for him that she had a Daddy Complex. Life just isn't fair.

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

“Guys” like you, you mean; ignorant, illiterate louts, you mean.

charlie never shuts up!

[@Sefinaaa]

My great grandfather, never had the chance to meet him

[@caseyknudson6757]

Jackson Day Lewis also married Marilyn Monroe!

[@bolang6921]

If you listen to all his interviews you can learn from him directly. You can know what his thoughts would be in today's politics and you can channel them and combine them with your own thoughts and develop your own voice. He would love it and admire you.

Watching this with Hamilton being out chances the entire idea of the beginning of this interview

[@steveconn]

No it doesn't. Hamilton is a musical. He's talking about straight dramatic theater. Amazing interview, more relevant in today's ADD, quick cash-grab theater environment than ever.

[@lennarthagen3638]

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

He was once younger.

[@linniem5982]

He grew tired of Marilyn and her personal problems. She was looking for a Daddy.
