What is Peter Cook's problem with Robert Shaw? I always thought that there was something a bit cantankerous and precious about the bloke - was he ever that funny really, or has he been held up as a comedy sacred cow that is now beyond any judgement? Spike Milligan, for instance, always raised a laugh in an interview but with Pete, it's like you're waiting for this 'genius' to reveal itself, but it never does. And there's not much to find funny here either, it's incredibly fraught with tension, like petty bickering in a pub which could explode into a fight at anytime. Basically it's just a veiled slanging match between three functioning alcoholics.

[@tcsl7764]

It seems to me they likely had sex with the same woman and that the woman chose or at least felt that Robert was better.

He was a very funny man but he is not going to appeal to everybody. I don't want to take the comparison too far, but he was a bit like Orson Welles in that he peaked very early and then ended up as a rather faded figure who had a career appearing on TV chat shows and some moth-eaten forgettable films. He was often plastered too, which is always likely to affect the quality of anyone's output.

Exactly, i don't mean to imply Cooke was actually a very negative person behind the scenes ( i know almost nothing about Cooke's upbringing/past/character) but when tv keeps telling you someone is very talented and you know you can't see a high level of talent from them then it could be because they are like a Cosby or Spacey or weinstein or R Kelly or pete townsend etc. There is an interview where Dreyfuss told us that Kevin Spacey was once reading lines with his son on his couch.
