Dirk Bogarde 1975

[@lopamudraray4571]

Can't have enough of Dirk Bogard.

[@sprinter846]

What an extraordinarily intelligent and elegant man was Dirk Bogarde.

[@Sabriel61]

Dirk Bogarde certainly does interview well. A charming man, and a great actor.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

He was such a fascinating man, you had to really be at the top of your game interviewing him. He didn’t suffer fools gladly!

[@stevecox7075]

I love the flirting at the very beginning. Such a sweetheart.

[@margaritatomasfernandez4306]

Mi actor preferido siempre, afortunadamente lo puedo admirar, pues los actores nunca nos dejan. R.I.P. From Mallorca recuerdos .

[@DonaldMacNaughton]

One of the best interviews I have seen with DB , he seems very relaxed

[@ColinGrimshaw]

He was the nicest person when he arrived in the studio and greeted all of the production crew.

[@robbryant52]

Mark did well fair play not a easy man to interview

[@garrison968]

The Servant is an excellent film. Every actor is good in it. Losey never directed better,

[@lilybond6485]

Mark Caldwell looks just like my first boyfriend. His name was Mark. Just saying. Dirk Bogarde was the epitome of looks, class, style, charisma, eloquence, etc.

[@dim1309]

Thank you very much for this diamond.

[@yuribernatskyi8927]

"Death in Venice" brought me here. I became really interested in Bogarde after watching that hilarious movie. Bogarde was extremely perfect in this Visconties masterpiece.

[@lilybond6485]

Hilarious ?

[@Lucia0672]

Great actor!

[@allisonjeancroton7017]

Dirk never took too kindly to interviews, he did like Russel Harty though! My prize possessions are my postcards from Dirk written in the late 1980's when I was doing my GCSE's. I have all of his books all of which were read back to front!! I even have Sheridan Morley's 'Rank Outsider' and the two books by John Coldstream.

[@allisonjeancroton7017]

I agree with you about Morely and John Coldstream's was much better. Dirk advised me to read his autobiography for any information I needed. The second one thanked me for the drawing I sent him and for my kind wishes for his birthday.

[@Johnconno]

+Allison Jean Croton Jolly Good! You're very clever!

[@clivefuller-hale5073]

A unique actor...

[@joeoconnor5400]

To be fair on Bogarde he is trying to put Mark Caldwell at ease. Imagine if he had to be interviewed by Lorraine Kelly!

[@ColinGrimshaw]

Yes you are right, they were both very nervous.

[@ColinGrimshaw]

Yes indeed, well spotted

[@irenechoe]

Fascinating word to capture the gist of their convo: playfulness.

[@littlebrookreader949]

Thank you!

[@jimmyjohnston8287]

(She was an FTM.) An amazing actor.

[@David-uf8ex]

This interviewer was very polite . unlike the rude totally rubbish Harty

[@Themanwhocameback2]

Was British Television still black and white in 1975?! I've seen color Top Of The Pops shows from 1972.

[@ColinGrimshaw]

UK TV on BBC 2 went into colour in 1967. This was recorded at an educational studio that was still in black and white.

[@buddyvilla7393]

Thanks for the reply sadly harty would die two years after above the title I wish I could have known Brigitte Bardot aged 18 but I wasn’t alive I always wondered why Dirk made modesty Blaise as a favor to Joseph losey no doubt what an incredible actor can’t believe he was never nominated for an Oscar

[@oldvideopro]

A great actor, yes, but not thne easiest of interviewees. Well done Mark, but could have done with some intros to the clips in post.

[@MrDavey2010]

Bogarde was always wary when being interviewed as he was terrified that his sexuality would be addressed. Such a shame.

[@buddyvilla7393]

Dirk does seem much more relaxed than his lengthy chat with Russell harty 11years later in above the title title I’ve been wondering what happened to mark Caldwell thanks for answering didn’t know his family ties to Jarvis maybe Dirk was more relaxed cuz most of the questions are about his films not his personal life I still like victim better than the servant

[@ColinGrimshaw]

Mark initially worked for BFBS and then Deutsche Welle both located in Germany, where he's now retired.

[@Lytton333]

He's occasionally bordering on prickly here isn't he..
