Day at Night: Vincent Price, actor and horror star

[@marvidee5186]

Such a charming gentleman ,impeccable manners .He listens to the questions , answers thoughtfully and throws in plenty of self effacing humour .A great interview ,pity it is such a lost art these days.

[@nonsense1558]

James Day asked some really good and insightful questions. Interviewing skills is a lost "art" itself these days.

[@ReginaldForman]

I disagree. He was a dastardly obtuse character of high immorality and a temperate disposition. This interview was horrendously executed with flaws at every given interpretation. However, I digress. Good day Sir.

Vincent Price is a national treasure.

[@robertdiotalevi285]

Vincent Price off-screen was a kind and gentle man...on-screen he'd rip your throat out and laugh while he did it...R.I.P.

[@buschovski1]

I love Vincent Price for his sense of humor most of all. He always makes me laugh no matter what hes in.

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

I love his dark comedy. Especially when Peter Lory was involved. Pardon my spelling. I'm over fifty and struggling with spell check.:)

[@nonsense1558]

A well spoken, highly educated actor. Not exactly commonplace these days!

[@heatherdl8792]

I could listen to Vincent talk all day! Such a brilliant man who lived life to its fullest. I love him so much.

[@moscato9744]

Totally Agree

[@rheahorvath9274]

Me too!! Love, appreciate, respect unlike any other!! I Soo miss him Lee and Cushing! Endearing, highly educated, compassionate men! Price and I have interests in common. You accomplished much; what a great run! We are poorer will out you!!! RIP Sir!!!!!!

[@hunterluxton5976]

He speaks with a sort of casual intelligence about art. This is not something one can fabricate. When you are very well acquainted with a subject you can talk with verve, precision and genuine insights. He displays no affectation, pomposity or pretentious attitudes to art. He is is at ease with himself good humoured and would be a superb dinner companion.

[@phaedrabacker2004]

Could listen to his voice forever.

[@valerianmandrake]

Me too it puts me to sleep ^^

[@fireballfireball6962]

when i was a kid in England i always had Vincent Price on top of my list of favourite Horror Actors. He's just so damn interesting. And his voice is amazing.

[@greglyons2526]

Could listen to Vincent speak all day long,seemed like a lovely man.

[@ElBrandenBrazil]

One of my favourite people ever! I grew up watching and loving his movies so much. Such an erudite, charming, intelligent gentleman.

[@Del-yv1qy]

Such a rare sight today ,someone of this caliber.

[@jeffhansman2829]

One of a kind, Price was a true renaissance man. I grew up on his horror films and have loved his work ever since.

[@thankgodimstarving]

He listens so critically… the minute the interviewer starts talking he’s all ears. Even while mid sentence.

[@northlandparanormal5832]

What a privilege that we have platforms like KZbin to check out these interviews with all the greats.

[@rickw1100]

The great Vincent Price.

[@ianmartinezcassmeyer]

"Art is nothing more than the visual report of the time in which it's done." Such a brilliant insight so elegantly phrased. If PBS had elected to do an art documentary show (even a miniseries) about art with Price as the host, people would still be watching it today, like they watch Bob Ross paint

[@javishkumar6028]

Could listen to him talk all day...his voice is intoxicating

[@valerianmandrake]

He seems like a guy I would like to have tea with and chat about art and drama. R.I.P.

[@jeffsilverman6104]

Vincent was a gem. A classic gentleman, great body of work, and obviously a sly sense of humor. I would've liked to have broken bread with him.

[@glamdolly30]

OMG he was so gorgeous!

[@ericrobinson1789]

One of my favorite actors in the horror genre. All time great!

[@sandinoism]

I found out Vincent Price with Corman's movies when I was a young kid and I immediately loved him and those kind of movies, but just now, by watching these old interviews I realise that he's one of the very few celebrities that make me wanna be a close friend of his.

[@arcaneteresa]

[@taylorthug239]

One of the reasons why I still want to do professional acting and why I wrote poetry; and short stories. His work was unmatched.

[@brittalbach416]

to me, he will always be the prosecutor of the emperor, in the wonderful film Song of Bernadette with Jennifer Jones of 1943. I love him, I hope he is in heaven !

[@boris1387]

[@jamesburns248]

Interesting hearing that he had no formal training as an actor, you'd never know it when he's acting everyone else off the screen!

He was so wonderful in "His Kind of Woman". Would have loved to have worked with him.

[@myahollandia3552]

2 words Pure Class

[@KGwriter]

His interviews are always funny and fascinating. I hope someone posts the talk show appearance where he got into an argument with Fredric Wertham about horror movies. I did not know he no formal acting training! He was such a natural at it. Great at serious and comedy roles. His voice is so good for drama and humor.

[@choward874]

He was great. So sad we have to get old and die.

[@XAdaLgi]

Got to be the 1st time I've ever seen him smoke. I never knew he did..he almost chained smoke, classily of course. Such a handsome, higly educated, talented, rascally gentleman...don't even get me started on the voice! This calibre of a man does not exists anymore.

Total class act. I worked as a studio singer for 40 years, 6 of those being on the Red Skelton Show. One time when Vincent Price was the featured guest, I took my copy of A Treasury of Great Recipes for him to autograph and he was most gracious. He write Fir Diana, Love, Luck and Bob Appetit! Mary and Vincent Price. I absolutely cherish that!

crazy but I sorta crushed on him as a little girl in the 90's

[@alexandraxyzoo7]

Everytime I hear his voice there is a tingling in my stomach. It started when I first heard him talk long time ago and it never stopped to happen.

[@lauralonati7048]

I have a crush on him now and he is no longer here! His acting and his personality are just unbelievable! I have so much respect for him! I just love his movies! He was a true gentleman!

[@photographingtoronto2350]

To echo what others have already written Vincent Prince is a remarkably articulate, accomplished and charming man. Though I knew he was an art collector I did not know he was educated at Yale University and the Courtauld Institute in London. James Day's inteviewing style, asking broad questions and giving his guest the latitude to answer them. is just how an interview should be done.

[@tomtalker2000]

He was such a learned man. A creative and quite the visionary. He knew Shakespeare and one of his closest friends was Sir Christopher Lee who portrayed Dracula. Yes he was bisexual but that's irrelevant about him as an individual as a whole. He was quite the gentleman very well spoken and great articulation. Miss you Vincent.

[@svenmartin840]

I got introduced to Vincent Price through the creature double feature on TV38 WSBK in Boston. And what a wonderful actor. Who brought Edgar Allen Poe's work out. His movies are more mystery than horror. And friends with some great guys. Like Alice Cooper and Deep Purple. And now my grandkids are loving his work.

[@glamdolly30]

Vincent married Australian actress Coral Browne this year, 1974, after a whirlwind romance. They met and fell in love on the movie 'Theatre of Blood' . VP had been married to his second wife Mary for 24 years, and was 62 years old when he fell for Coral, and she was 60 years old and followed him to America. His divorce was inevitable, it was a coup de foudre. The tall, stylish and famously witty couple were a regular feature on Hollywood red carpets. They were happily married until her death from breast cancer in 1991, aged 77 (she died two days after Vincent's 80th birthday). Vincent died 2 years later, in 1993, aged 82. By all accounts they were a wonderful couple, and counted among their large, eclectic group of friends English playwright Alan Bennett, Joan Rivers, Jane Russell and Barry Humphries.

[@bmkbmk4469]

Mr price would have made a wonderful Vilan a JAMES BOND MOVIE. I've always considered him a GREAT actor ..RIP

[@Frontier2000AnoDomin]

A scholar and a gentleman. For us here in crusty ol' Europe it always makes us chuckle to ourselves when we see our American cousins debating about Mr Price's "trans-Atlantic" accent. To put it as politely as possible... Vincent was one of the few AMERICAN actors who could actually speak the English Language correctly. Add to that a talented artist, a sophisticated locutor and a critical thinker based in a strong historical background... Well, what do you get?... Something you feel you have to call "trans-Atlantic" because it is so foreign to the standard US education. Vincent very much had the British approach to performing on stage... from the outside in. A smart man. It is a shame that half of the US think that being "intellectual" equates to being weak or unmasculine. Those gun-toting ignorami should consider the fact that the US, as it stands, only stands thanks to its great thinkers.

[@hunterluxton5976]

Well said. His accent was unusual but sounded natural, unlike the odd sounding Gor Vidal who sounded as if he was affecting a British type accent it sounded phoney.

[@gwenking7700]

I have to take exception to your pidgeon-holing of the Americaan mentality and attitude towards intellectualism. We are all not knuckle-draggers just as Europeans are all not peasants. Cheers

Probably both, my eyes are considered blue but most days look gray. Which is funny because he is my great great great uncle and share a lot of the same interests and traits.

Actor, horror icon, epicure, connoisseur of fine art, narrator, host, and a really fun person. Always one of my favorites. I particularly favor Vincent in funnier roles, like his turn in Corman's The Raven. His scenes with Peter Lorre, especially in the beginning, are wonderful. (There's also the film The Comedy of Terrors, but the high pitched singing of Joyce Jameson is like fingernails digging into a chalk board, so I don't watch that one a lot.)
