ROBERT SHAW ON THE DICK CAVETT SHOW (1972)

[@Jared_Wignall]

I love seeing interviews with Robert Shaw. He was a fantastic actor and Dick Cavett was an incredible interviewer.

[@colinbooth531]

Legend. From my home town, Westhoughton. I guess I was born to love Shaw and Jaws.

[@chrisculshaw1887]

Would like to visit the Wetherspoons there, 'The Robert Shaw'

[@colinbooth531]

@@chrisculshaw1887 been there many times. It's...a Wetherspoons. Worth a picture out back though, they've got some Robert Shaw pictures on their walls. The food isn't too shabby. Also worth a visit is Robert's birth-house. Then I'd leave Westhoughton because it's crap.

these old talk shows are class! when peeps understood the rules of conversation and did it

[@michaeljordan6008]

Incredible actor, no one like him.

[@rryan844]

Gosh, he is adorable. That twinkle in his eye. Love Robert Shaw.

[@cindywestlake6278]

I agree❤😊

[@NJTDover]

Robert Shaw was a tremendous actor with an extremely sense of humor. He was definitely a treat to listen to and kudos to Dick's exceptional skills as a host. Love to Robert Shaw with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore on this same show. Well done, old chap. You deserve a my "like".

[@robbillington1982]

He literally he spilled his heart out wherever he went. Wonderful

RIP Robert Archibald Shaw (9 August 1927 - 28 August 1978)

[@avicennitegh1377]

What a conversationalist. Shaw touched hearts. Did he have 9 kids? wow. Kind of cute the way he takes over the new guests. Entire video is great, thank you.

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

I grew up watching him and looked forward to Christmas Day as they used to put Battle of the Bulge on t.v...He was a top actor..❤

[@firenze5555]

This was before he huge role in Jaws. Such an amazing actor! Gone way too soon, RIP.

[@stujoker]

Great interview and could listen to him all day - what a great personality and incredible actor! Uncanny the resemblance his son Ian, looks and sounds like his dad in play The Shark Is Broken where he plays his dad. Robert's brother was our family doctor

[@amazon5031]

There is no one like him any more. An actor with a very broad range of roles from hooligans, professors, intellectuals to kings.

[@horrorfanrikki8038]

Robert Shaw was AWESOME in Jaws!!

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Robert signed a Lobster Bouy for my Dad in 1974 while he was filming Jaws. Still have it in my collection

[@dyates6380]

Outstanding man. This guy was a treasure.

[@frankmcconnellogue3351]

To think that jaws wasn’t even on the cards at that time . He was brilliant in a man for all seasons.

[@atandon04]

10:37 when Robert says, that I ought to outlive my father at least by 3-4 years. Tragically he passed away exactly after that time.

[@jamesheath7601]

He was brilliant in Jaws

[@JHPine]

Great actor and great man with a social conscience too!

[@ianmorris4922]

Ya just gotta love Robert Shaw! 'Kin legend!😀👍🏻

[@johntim3491]

Ridley Scott...."We have very few Robert Shaws now"

[@martacoresgarcia]

Robert Shaw was extraordinary intelligent.He wrote fuve novels snd was writting 6 when he suddenly died from a hesrtattack.He liked acting but he loved writting.He was quite frustrated for the fact rhat even though the critics said very possitive things about his novels,he wasnt known for hiis novels too, that why he said he would fight for being known also as a novelist.In his personal life he was a warmhearted man,great sense of humour,sarcastic,fantastic,always said what he thought without caring a damn.I will miss him every day of my life.I have watched his films since I was around 9-10 with my own dad,who was gone also very soon in 2014.I wish both were still here.❤

[@gshockbabe6144]

I go weak at the knees at the sight of this great man.Gone too soon.

[@DIDCOTTWIST]

So sad he died at only 51 6 years after this interview 😢

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

Really, I never new he died so young 😢

[@thaddeust.thirdiii736]

He died far too young

[@jonniereynolds7915]

Not only did he die young, he died completely alone by the side of his broken down car while his wife went for help. He begged her not to leave him alone, since he was absolutely terrified to die completely alone, because he knew he was going to, but she was panicked for help. He had already passed by the time she arrived back to him. He was absolutely terrified to die alone, and he did.

[@stevepenczek4521]

Shaw was awesome

[@barrycuda3769]

My favourite Robert Shaw movie Is , Figures in a landscape, which rarely ever gets a mention.

[@jetstreamx15]

Dick Cavet one of the best interviewers of all time grade A

[@NoxiousRob]

Absolutely. I'm from the UK and I love watching these old interviews from the Dick Cavet show. He reminds me of our Michael Parkinson who was undoubtedly the best interviewer in the UK. Just someone who is able to bring out the best in the guest and knows when to shut up and let the guest speak.

[@annabrewer8054]

24:24 Love how bummed out Robert Shaw gets when he finds out that the "real" Dracula didn't actually drink blood.

[@cooperbourke7717]

Very interesting Interview

[@thaddeust.thirdiii736]

Such an interesting man

[@Project-Jaden]

Wow before jaws

[@mkultra501]

RIP legend,he seems half cut here,likely had a few pints and brandies before this interview,plus the cigarettes,not hard to see why he passed at 51 the heart can’t handle it…forever a legend!!!

[@tonyyero7231]

True, as an AA ex-crew member ... we do use LAVATORY in the airlines to date.

[@johnwright3815]

No one like Robert Shaw...and no interviewer (these days) like Dick Cavett.

[@cindywestlake6278]

So true

[@roysaxon2619]

What happened to the 1972 interview Shaw gave to Cavett when his wife, Mary Ure, also appeared halfway through the show alongside her husband?

[@kenpudsey6435]

I heard he did drink the blood of the dead Warriors he'd killed because he believed it would him their strength!

[@roquefortfiles]

The end of this is like a Benny Hill show

[@aq803]

He was very driven in everything he did. He moved to Ireland and spent many years living on a seventy acre estate.He became a heavy drinker and died quite young, only in his 50's .He was a wonderful actor in theatre and films. It was such a splendid time. The guests were not foul mouthed or non celebrities. They had manners, were interesting , and we're not all about ego. Now I would not bother to look at a talk show.

[@chanceburger3169]

How cool was Shaw

[@ethanhall8686]

I think Dick Cavett had a bit more than bottles in that toilet.

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Great piece Ross. Could've been Quint himself ! Must have been deemed a "slightly" outrageous broadcast at that time, let alone these PC days ! On the singer's microphone failure, was half expecting a burst of "Here lies the body of Mary Lee, died at the age of a hundred and three..." Obviously a very intelligent, hilarious man, can only imagine the "crack" off camera, with Scheider, Dreyfuss etc, down at Martha's !

[@Ptlywtng]

Can’t find the one with his wife and him

[@dannyelvisvernon]

Shaw at the end... in other words,.....you can't bulsh**t a bush**ter

24:25 Shaw's look of disappointment to learn that the real Dracula didn't drink the blood of his victims :/

[@NoxiousRob]

Was Robert Shaw really tall or was Dick quite short? Shaw towers over Dick in the intro.

[@cindywestlake6278]

I hate that he died so young

[@jetstreamx15]

Valad fought muslims....thats how he learned how to spike people...a cast of little education actually.....to mention..it was Dragula... which ment son of the dragon

[@jetstreamx15]

Valad fouhgt against muslims...who comkitted the same crimes...thats whats not mentioned in the whole segment

[@jsmcguireIII]

Dreyfuss will always be the annoying nebish Duddy Kravitz.

[@annabrewer8054]

Damn! I was hoping that Shaw would challenge that bozo fascist Romanian dude to a fight. Also, pretty sure the other guy is John Malkovich in a big white wig.

[@snootybaronet]

Florescu, far from being a fascist, was forced (with his anti-fascist family) out of Romania before WWII by the pro-Nazi regime. He was for many years an advisor to Leftist Senator Ted Kennedy on East European affairs.

[@fr_reynolds5002]

Does anyone know where to find Robert Shaw on Carson? You cant find it anywhere. 😢

[@jonathanwilcock71]

I searched, too. Can't find it. Did you have any luck?
