As a child of the 1950s I grew up in a home with a stereo. My father had what I now realize was a fine LP collection, including a couple of LPs on the Caedmon label of Boris Karloff reading from Rudyard Kipling's "Just-So Stories". It was comforting to hear him tell the stories, addressing the listener--me--as "Best Beloved". Who could ever be afraid of THAT?

once in the 1980's i fell into conversation with an older guy who told me in the 1930's and 40's in new york city, you could drive your car down to broadway, find a parking place and see a play for not that much money. now, imagine seeing karloff in Arsenic and Old Lace or Peter Pan. Wouldn't that be awesome? those must have been the golden days.

Alas the kind of impeccable English accent is a rare thing in today’s society. More often slang terms and imprecise English is becoming the norm which is an erosion of identity, culture and heritage as we move into more slovenly ways. Such an intelligent and thoughtful man, a huge talent wasted on so many corny horror movies with another fine character actor Peter Cushing who was also a great man and best friend of Lee’s.

Slang terms and imprecise English have long been the norm outside of elite circles. It's been part of Britain's identity, culture and heritage for hundreds of years. If anything, in the latter half of the 20th century, regional accents have softened somewhat; due to mass communications, transportation and ostensibly, deindustrialisation.

Wow, what a fantastic interview, the wonderful Christopher Lee talking about the equally wonderful Boris Karloff! I'm so sorry you were unable to secure the funding for your planned documentary series, I'm sure it would have been a great success if it had been made. Watching this brought back happy memories from over 40yrs ago now, of meeting Lee at a private function where he discussed his life and career, and took seemingly endless questions from the enthusiastic audience with great humour and extraordinary charm! He really was the polar opposite of most of the characters he portrayed on screen! 😊

Christopher Lee was a good actor with a great, distinguished and memorable, commanding voice in films, but he erred here when he said in 1991 that Boris Karloff had been at that time gone twenty years - Karloff died in 1969 which was 22 years prior to 1991 when Lee did this tribute to Karloff!

I love the story Christopher Lee tells about the three key things Boris Karloff told him about acting - especially the thing that Lon Chaney Sr. told Karloff one time when Karloff was walking on the Universal Studios' back lot and Karloff heard a car behind him honking its horn, and it was Lon Chaney Sr. who proceeded to picked him up and gave him a ride to Karloff's residence, and Chaney Sr. told Karloff, "Find something that no one else can do or will do and do it better than anyone can do it"!

Karloff and Lee brought to movies a sense of radio; they were visualizing which is of course something radio could never do...but they kept the spirit of that intact and allowed the audience room to use their own imagination...but by the late 60s all that was drawing to a close and we ended up with slasher movies and such...and 'such' rather sucks...

Of course, the grat shame of film history of Frankenstein feature films is that the creature has never been successfully played as written in the book. The creature was of extreme intelligence, and quite emmotioally sensitive, which is an aspect of the story as portrayed in film, is almost always completely ignored. Lee is quite right to call it the creature, because the true monster in the story was Dr Frankenstein.

Much appreciation for uploading this. A rare treat to have one of my all time favorite actors paying homage to and recounting stories about another of my very favorite actors. To add a little to Mr. Lee's presentation...a wonderful example of Boris Karloff's comedic ability can be found in the hilarious Roger Corman film, "A Comedy Of Terrors". And for a bonus, you can hear Christopher Lee sing in the comedy/musical, "The Return Of Captain Invincible" with Alan Arkin. It's a truly odd movie that may have been way ahead of its time...and whether you love or hate the film...I can almost guarantee that Christopher Lee's signature tune will have you falling off your chair!

My how they entertained us, for decades. We escaped with thrills and drama by the talent of these master craftsmen. Karloff. Say the name, just the one, and across continents people will know who you are referring to. Since I was a child I've loved both men. I'm turning 60 this year and love, and admire, them more now. Excellence. That word comes to mind. Hard work, talent, and class, come to mind. How appropriate to have Lee narrate on Karloff. What a pleasure to watch. With their dedication I'm left to wonder, as much as we loved them, with decades of work did they not spend their lives loving all of us more? Talent, they found their gifts and gave them back to us, forever on film. RIP, most gentle of men. You set us an example, as well as entertaining us, of excellence. I suppose we should all take your ultimate challenge, the example you set and strive to work for our dreams and shoot for serving others with class while we do it. Elegance? Well, perhaps it's a worthy goal for us to spend some time trying to come closer to our hopes of who we want to be. Thanks for raising the bar on what quality and love can look like. Maybe we can hope for more from ourselves because of the quality of your work and the way you lived, and how you dazzled us in all of those many brilliant performances. Much love, appreciation, and admiration, forever. Brothers and sisters, lovers of Karloff and Lee, let's borrow some of their courage and get on with living and loving, and let's keep aiming for higher ground while we do it. I think both might like inspiring us to do nothing less.

What a fantastic tribute paid to a Screen Legend by another Legend. This was without doubt one of the best videos I've ever seen by one of my favourite actors, Sir Christopher Lee. What a fantastic actor he was, so many great performances, unforgettable characters. In each decade he gave some remarkable and memorable performances, from the mid to late 50's with the Hammer Horror Classics that really made his name, to the 60's with cult classics such as Beat Girl, The Pirate Movies, Sherlock Holmes, Fu Man Chu then the 70's, what a great decade that was for him, so many iconic roles and big movies, James Bond: TMWTGG, The Three Musketeers, The Wicker Man, Airport 77, Arabian Adventure. Although he continued to work through the 80's nothing really memorable to mention, but then in the 90's he did Gremlins 2, Jinnah ( By his own words the best work he has done..by far) and Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, however, the best was still to come, The Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars Prequels , Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, The Golden Compass, The Hobbit, Hugo.... what an amazing career. Thankyou so much for posting this gem. I shall always regret the fact that I never had the opportunity to meet and chat to this Film Icon. Still we have his amazing body of work to enjoy and for other generations to study and learn from this great Master.

One controversy among horror film fans is the Karloff versus Lugosi rivalry (which wasn't an actual thing between the two men themselves). While I do enjoy Lugosi's work and understand his cult status, there's no doubt in my mind that Karloff was the more versatile actor with a greater range than Lugosi. Karloff literally seems to have been able to play about any kind of role well, not just horror. He was equally good in comedies, historical dramas, suspense films, children's films, and adventure films. He was also one of the most modest, self-effacing men imaginable.
@cecilyerker
@cecilyerker Ай бұрын
Lugosi was quite good in Son of Frankenstein with Karloff, Igor was his greatest character departure from Dracula. He probably relished playing a low class criminal. Bela Lugosi also had the disadvantage of English not being his native language, remember that he was a stage actor first and even played Jesus Christ onstage.

Mackenzie Rough, thanks for this interview! Fabulous. Stumbled across it -- get this -- after finding the link to Karloff's recitation in Targets of what Somerset Maugham retold as "Appointment in Samarra." (The Mesopotamian story serves as the conclusion of Maugham's last play, Sheppey, 1933. John O'Hara, alerted to Maugham's work by Dorothy Parker, used it as the epigraph for his first novel, Appointment in Samarra, 1934.) Indeed, as Lee suggests, a riveting moment in the film -- watch director Bogdanovich in that scene, he can't take his eyes off of Karloff, nor can the other two actors (and the scene reportedly drew applause on the set) -- and a fitting coda to a marvelous acting career.

So was Chris Lee almost 70 himself when he made this?? If so that’s pretty amazing, as he looks great for that age range!!

If it was someone else talking about Boris, i'd watch it, but I just cannot stomach Christopher Lee since I became aware several years ago of his history of lying publicly about his War record.

Why not try to extract the value of the information he’s supplying? If I had to condone all actions of every actor before I watched them, I would never have anything to watch!

@@kahliaash8176 His lies included his claim he was with SOE (Special Operations Executive): that he served in North Africa in the LRDG (Long-range Desert Group): that he fought with Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia: that he hunted Nazi war criminals after WW2 ended: that he went to Finland and offered to join their fight against the Soviets pre-WW@ etc. In reality, he saw no combat at all. He was a RAF 'Intelligence officer" but not a flyer or crew-member of any fighting unit.

I decided to delete my other comments because I realized that I wasn't clear enough. I dislike the 2015 Dailymail article because the author and the historian, like the rest of the internet, is of the opinion that Lee claimed the things that you listed, but I have not been able to find a single interview or panel where he did in fact claim them. Take the Finland claim, for instance, everyone says that Lee claimed that he joined the Finnish army and saw combat at the front lines. But in the interviews I've seen, and the part about it in his autobiography, he tells a very embarrassing story about a thing he did as a stupid teenager; he, along with a group of other stupid teen boys, went to the nearest Finnish base to fight on the front against the Soviets: the men in charge of the base were so amused at how gung-ho, yet stupid the boys were, that they 'signed them up', dressed them in white and 'sent them to the front', for about a fortnight, and then they sent them home because, "We couldn't ski." As Lee would often times jokingly say. Lee never saw combat, and he was only ever a member of the RAF. I also don't like the article because they are of the opinion that Lee glorified war and wartime achievements and lied to gain wartime fame, which is not true, based on everything I've seen from him; the only good thing about WW2, in Lee's opinion, was the fact that they stopped the Nazi's. After WW2, he became an Anglo-Catholic Christian, and from that point on believed in love, not hate; peace, not war. The only real true form of courage, in Lee's opinion, was when people, who were in horrible physical pain or even dying, remained cheerful and continued to do their job without making a fuss. He always spoke, in a half joking manner, about how much he seemed to fail at everything; he was awful at geometry and geography, and was terrified of 'the Maths', he loved golf but was never any good at it (all his friends said he was 'lying', and that he was great at golf) only for him to give his records and reveal that he actually was good at the game, not great, just good. He never considered himself to be a Star, or one of The Greats; just a professional film and TV actor. He was always open about the fact that, in his opinion, he could never be called a great actor because he completely failed at stage acting. He was deeply grateful to the likes of Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, and George Lucas, for wanting him in their big projects. Sorry for the essay, but the whole 'war hero' thing the internet made up really bugs me, and I feel it takes away from what a silly, ornery, fussy, sweet, humourous guy Sir Christopher Lee actually was; and that's not even going into his charity work(which he received a knighthood for), or being an ally to women's equal rights in Britain!

@@kahliaash8176 I would have thought that any soldier who had served his country as heroically as Lee claimed might have been awarded more than just the Service Medals awarded to every one who served. He received only Service Medals. Another thing - he finished the War as a lowly Flight Lieutenant. A rank that hardly reflects his claimed action-man service in WW2
