This is the way they were. Articulate, educated (often self) and respectful. Old Hollywood had men and women of integrity. Did you hear him use profane language? Watch some others from his era and more often than not, you'll see the same thing. I sometimes listen to the old movies adapted to radio on Radio classics and when the director and actors speak afterward, they use proper and correct English. Today, the language is brutalized on a daily basis.

I've Always found it Unbelievable that Kirk Douglas never Copped an Oscar, He was in an Incredible amount of Excellent movies, I Also feel he was much to kind, When speaking of John Wayne, But If I say Anything, too many people will start looking for Arguments. Naa,... to me, I've Always had Respect for Kirk Douglas, I've never read anything bad about him or being overly Patriotic, But if he was, at least he'd have a Right to, being that he Enlisted in The Navy during WW 2, He was Tough but Modest, & intelligent, But, It's Only My Opinion. R.I.P. (Sparticus)👍🙏
@malafakka8530
@malafakka8530 3 жыл бұрын
I think the thing is that he knew Wayne personally. We never really get to know public figures and there is always more to them than what we see from them publicly. I mean, there are sometimes people in one's life who you are friends with despite them having a pretty big flaw. What should we do? It depends on what they do and say, but I don't think it would be the right thing to cut all ties or to be unkind to them in public when they can't even defend themselves. As to the Oscars. Who knows. There were a lot of good actors around in those years. It was difficult to win one I guess. It's also not as important to win it. The idea of art as a competition is bad enough if you ask me, and too often movies with a message are chosen over those which are masterfully crafted. Or why should only one movie, actor, script etc. be awarded? Is there really one clear winner? I don't think so. He has movies that will probably be watched forever and that is worth more than award I think. Time is probably the only real award.

Kirk was one of my favorites; I believed every line he ever spoke. It is interesting how little chemistry he has with Dick here, though, as Cavett's sarcasm goes right over his head at several points in the interview. Cavett was great when you could follow his train of thought, but that was not always easy.

I think Kirk chose to ignor it. Cavett actually makes himself sound like a gossip columnist with some of his questions and innuendo not the intellectual interviewer he is renowned for.

Cavett was always snarky and seemed to come from a condescending place, then blaming it on "the cards". Guess he was attempting to "pull something out", but it came across as obviously lazy and overbearing. Kirk Douglas was a very astute person, and wouldn't "take the bait". What a great life!

Ludwig Fan I didn’t particularly like the way Dick handled the K Douglas interview but that was an anomaly in my view. He has always been an excellent interviewer. As for Eddie Murphy I’ll check it out, but I doubt he showed racist tendencies. I’ve always respected him for speaking plainly and asking probing questions.

My folks had a liquor store and we catered many events in Northern Cal. I applied for and got a job in LA with a caterer when in college, 1969. had our own "mobile" bar set-up and served all kinds of drinks to celebs. always in private homes. Mr. Douglas, Mr. Lloyd Bridges, Lee Remmick (sp?)and Natalie Wood very, very graciously would come up to me when I was breaking down the bar at the end of an event and chat, asking me about my life and college and what I wanted to do with myself. Got to know them because many of the celebs. used us time and again...AND..they tipped me well during the evenings. My boss told me not to chat with them under any circumstance unless they approached me first. Period. Fired if caught doing so. Mr. Bridges helped me unload a 15 gallon keg from my van. Very nice gentleman. Paul Newman told me NOT to call him "Mr.Newman" because he said he would have to look around to see if his father was there...beer, beer, beer..he would nod at me, I'd race over with a can. long time ago...

That’s a typical Cavett tactic. He got a lot of praise, back when he was a big noise on TV, for being not just “literate” (oh puhleez) but “irreverent” (translation: a jerk). He was able to be successful because at that time in this country we were at a place of great insecurity and self-hatred, which was fuel to him. He has never grown out of his need to embarrass a guest if he thinks there’s a chance of doing it.
