    My favourite Paul Scofield performance 🎭 was in the television 📺 adaptation of “Martin Chuzzlewit.” Paul Scofield also got an Oscar nomination for “Quiz Show” directed by Robert Redford. Thank you for another interesting and respectful video 📹💐🌞

    His performance in the film adaptation of A Man For All Seasons is, in my opinion, one of finest ever. The moment his wife says she fears she may hate him for his decision you can literally see his heart shatter and for a brief moment life itself almost leaves him. I admit, I cry every time I watch that scene. Incredible.

      Thank you so much for your comment xx I also share your admiration for Paul Scofield. His performance in A Man For All Seasons is one of my all-time favourites. That scene where his wife expresses her fear of hating him is incredibly powerful. You can literally see his heart shatter, and for a brief moment, it's like life itself almost leaves him. I admit, I cry every time I watch that scene too and knowing it was one of Diana Dors's all time favourites makes it resonate even more with me! It's truly incredible.

    I was an actor while in college. I was sometimes required to cry on stage--an asset for which I was known. When I needed to summon up tears, I could not think of anything so sad from my own past, but I could clearly recall the scene in the film of A Man For All Seasons in which Scofield as Sir Thomas More bids goodbye to his family from his prison cell. That memorey would always bring the tears instantly. Scofield was much like More in that he distrusted worldly honors and preferred work and the joy of his family. He prefered village life to the chaos of the city and chose love over acclaim. I recommend all of his other film work, especially his role as Van Doren Sr. in director Robert Redford's film Quiz Show. How I miss Paul Scofield. How the stage and screen miss him. Who can take his place?

      Thank you so much for your lovely comment! The scene you are referring to always makes me feel emotional and Diana Dors said in an interview it was one of her favourite films and also brought tears to her eyes each time she watch it! I’m sure there must be someone but I can’t think of any actor today who has the talent and integrity of Paul Scofield! Xx

    He was also cast in another favourite film of mine, 'The Shooting Party', sadly he was badly injured during filming early on, and had to be replaced by James Mason.

    Enjoyed this piece on Scofield. Thank you. I agree with you about A Man for All Seasons being his best film but was surprised there was no mention of his riveting performance as the art obsessed German officer in John Frankenheimer's The Train (1964). Talking of trains, I once walked past Mr Scofield when he was hard at work reading a script in a first class carriage on a train to London from Sussex. I only just managed to leave him in peace as the temptation to thank him was very strong.

My face was too young to play the parts I would have liked to and so I eventually left. I worked under my real name (Richard Reeves), one of five in IMDB! If you put the four words Diana Rigg Entrance Fee into You Tube you'll get the idea. By the way, did you ever see The Train? The character exchanges betwwen messrs Scofield and Lancaster are mesmerising. Best Wishes, Rick Reeves. @@BeautifulBadandBizarre

    Hi Shar, I loved this video, (surprise! I love all your videos on here and posts on IG), brilliant that Paul’s first role was playing Juliette! He was a true Gentleman and how beautiful that he and his wife were together for 65 years, that is very rare. You have to admire a couple who shunned the red carpet treatment and turned down knighthoods, who realised how fake everything was and were happy to be homebodies, just like our Diana Dors. I love how you always mention her in your videos, some connection you tell us about. My favourite film out of those mentioned is Carve Her Name With Pride, A Man For All Seasons comes a close second.

I agree with you entirely - it was wonderful that Paul Schofield could do the job he loved and not let it go to his head and to keep his family at the forefront of his mind at all times - wanting what was best for them all - he did go to one after show party in the early days with Joy - and they both hated it - and he vowed never to do it again!

      I’m glad you found the Paul Scofield video interesting. It’s always fascinating to learn about the roots of the people we admire, especially when they’re connected to places with personal significance to us. Sussex is beautiful! How exciting that you were in "A Man for All Seasons"-what a wonderful experience that must have been! Thanks for sharing! xxxxx

    I have to admit, when I saw the name I sisnt know who the gentleman was, but as I was watching your bio of him I found myself recognising him and for the films I haven't seen, you have inspired me to look them out.
    Thanks for another great video x

      Thank you so much! If you haven’t seen A Man For All Season’s I’d totally recommend it! It’s a real epic and I love every minute of it! I love Anna Karenina too - which is unusual for me because Im crazy about the book and films rarely live up to the book - but it’s so good! Xxx

    Lovely piece, as always. Thank you. If you haven't already, you must watch the three minute clip on You Tube of Scofield as Salieri in Amadeus. Salieri's realisation, that compared to Mozart he will always be second rate is just played to perfection. Heartbreakingly brilliant. He was truly great. Thanks again.

    One of my favourite films is "A Man For All Seasons". NO-ONE but Paul Scofield could have played the part of Thomas More quite as brilliantly as he did. I have seen this film so many times, but I never get tired of watching Paul's mesmerizing performance. Paul Scofield was a truly brilliant actor and he sounds like he was a really nice, kind and decent man. The world is a less beautiful place without him. Rest in peace Mr. Scofield.

    Enjoyed the video! PS is one of my all-time fave rave actors. Any idea where I can get a copy of "Nineteen Nineteen" (1985), starring PS? It tells the story of 2 of Freud's original patients getting together to discuss their therapy in later years. (It's supposed to be enthralling!) Thank You!

      Hi - Thank you! No!!! I’ve been looking for that film too! I’ve sometimes been able to get rare copies on dvd of various films - but I’ve not seen that one available on the lists! I’d love to hear if you track it down - I love Frank Finlay too and I believe he is the voice of Freud - Good luck with your search!

    I saw Mel Gibson's Hamlet in a movie theater when I was a kid and didn't know who Scofield was but his performance had a real impact on me. I didn't know what a legend he was but he was the part I most remember.

    • @BeautifulBadandBizarre

      Thank you for sharing that memory! Paul Scofield's portrayal of the Ghost in Mel Gibson's Hamlet is indeed unforgettable. His powerful presence and performance left a lasting impression on many viewers, even those who might not have been familiar with his legendary status at the time. It's amazing how certain performances can resonate with us and stay with us over the years. Scofield's talent truly shines through in that role. xxxx

      Yes that’s the back of the stone ❤️ You can see the front of the stone just after - there is a lovely epitaph for both of them on the front xxx I’ve been having a long birthday 🤭 and I’ve got a big family event at the weekend but I’ve got some fab videos coming up that I hope you’ll enjoy! ❤️

    • @BeautifulBadandBizarre
      @BeautifulBadandBizarre  Рік тому +1

      I think - aside from his wife and family - the stage was his first love! He put a great deal of his life into live performances and I from what I've read that's what he enjoyed the most - and of course he was a family man first and foremost - and wasn't interested in the fluff that went on around making films xx

    I've been a super fan of Paul Scofield since watching a Man for all seasons at aged 7, now 50 years later he is still astonishing on screen and I have many of pauls personal letters which give a deep understanding of him.
    I also have a book that belonged to him which was a gift from joy his wife, it has an inscription from her to him on the inside cover, it's my most treasured item I own .

      What a wonderful and personal connection you have with Paul Scofield’s work! He was truly such a talented and professional actor and it's not surprising his performances have stayed with you for so many years. I love watching him in films, particularly A Man For All Seasons. The letters and book you have are truly special treasures. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights-Paul Scofield’s legacy continues to inspire and move many of us xxxx
