Admired and liked his work and liked him very much from the first time I saw him in the movie Quo Vadis in 1951 when he was 30 years old and I was 7 Years old and I always tried to see or hear whatever did through his career. A great, talented and witty man. They just don't make people like him today, he is missed.
For sure, Peter Ustinov was a raconteur. Anyone who has this talent comes from another time in that he made the moment last; we could suspend our judgement, and relax into the story line and really picture it with innocence and freshness as though we are young and gathered together as a family.
Michael Winner sure had a busy day that day. Love how he pretty much repeated his antidote, almost line for line, in both his interviews, whilst at the same location. I literally thought, at first, that it was a pre-recorded that the news presenters pretended were live. RIP Sir Peter.
Do you go around asking every member of the French nation if they know who Peter Ustinov is/was? Seems like a weird thing to do. I don't go around my local town asking if they know who Jean Gabin is, or Jacques Tati, or even Alain Delon. Here's a tip and a half: Never assume your ignorance is universal; better to always consider the chance to inform yourself. (Though his acting heyday was half a century ago, Ustinov was not only a Stephen Fry-like polymath, but also an English character actor who must have been doing something right if his particular talents won him two Oscars in the US of A)

I TOO WAS ABOUT THE SAME AGE WHEN I SAW QUO VADIS' FOR THE FIRST TIME. I'VE JUST DECIDED TO BUY THE DVD OF IT.
SIR Peter goodbye and thank you so much for all the fun and humour you gave me and others in this turbulent world
Great man. We are unlikely to see his like again.
The fact that they got the same person to talk on both shows...
Peter Ustinov, one of the most human and intelligent people

I was lucky enough to see his one man show in Adelaide in 2001(?) or 2000. Front row centre.Treasured memory.
Lucky thing
I agree, saw him do his one man show in Manchester in the 90s. Absolutely outstanding - no-one else could measure up to the range of his talents.
Adored him from my childhood
Thank you
I've always thought Sir Peter was the Robin Williams of his day. His very image makes one feel good.
I read his book Dear Me. Very entertaining and very funny.

Rest in Peace The voice of prince john and king richard disneys robin hood from 1973
Legend x
He played as Prince John from Disney's Robin Hood, RIP man.
He also played King Richard 2.....
@@limfongyuen33 and Blackbeard! My favorite 😭❤
@@limfongyuen33 I think someone should do a commentary in memory of him and Brian Bedford on Robin Hood
@@limfongyuen33 I know which Robin Hood you’re thinking of it’s the one that has anthropomorphic animals as the main players
15 years on that Peter Ustinov had died! @AlexOsborneTV @EmilySWood

Says he was beloved by Europeans but I'm yet to meet a French person who knows who he was (and I do pick an older age group).
C'mon! That's pretty graceless. Hercule Poirot? How can they not know him??
Well, the French were always solitary-minded ..... but in the Netherlands he received the same admiration as he received in Britain
@@mollyruth4930 You mean meet much older people?
@@mollyruth4930 Same with David Niven and Dirk Bogard....
