My beautiful kind selfless mother who passed away a month ago used to always be a fan of the Saint and she would always say that Roger Moore was the most handsome actor she had seen. I miss and love you Mom. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Remember seeing Roger Moore, at a Billy Connelly show in London, he was sitting in front of us, he was in hysterical laughter all night, really made our night seeing James Bond laughing so much, R.I.P.
I have 2 aunts, knew him growing up in Battersea, London in the 50's. He came to tea as their mothers knew each other. And the other knew him at school, used to say hello on the bus. She's still alive. Will be 92. He was taking elocution lessons then. Just before he started modelling knitwear.
Didn't want that to stop. Wonderful! Love Dick Cavett's conversational style and Roger's stories and sense of humour. It was a different era. Classy, respectful and no need for foul language. Thank you for uploading this.
I agree. Too many awkward moments with Cavett! You just weren't sure what he was going to say next sometimes. You can see his guests sometimes wondering the same thing. @@willtheman840
Alex plante well spotted I guess I honestly thought it was 90s but before I was born I would of never guessed that never thought much of Moore as an actor but can certainly stay with one of the best in cavett to interview you need to be on your game or Dick could make one look very silly imo
Exactly! In fact, I just heard a similar statement that is truly mind-blowing. Can you fathom that there has been as much time pass since 1970 until now (2022) as had passed from the end of the First World War until 1970? So, in effect, they would look back on folks talking in 1918 (or 1919) precisely as we are now looking back on them in this clip!
@@dwightropp3014 Yeah, roughly fifty two years had passed just as it has since 1970 as well. My Great Grandfather fought in the first World War and was permanently handicapped for the rest of his life which caused him to have an Alcohol Use Disorder.
My neighbor back in the 1970's. She would take us to the Theater when we were kids. She remembered the V-1 flying over. She said it was terrifying Another neighbor fought at Monte Cassino he was such a Gentleman We would also play in the boarded up Air Raid shelters, even though, we were forbidden.
Yes he was fantastic. Also Merv Griffin , Carson and Mike Douglas. Back then they didn’t rush conversations and you’d hear the most fascinating stories. And often, as guests accumulated on the couches they’d interact so it wasn’t just one guest and the host. Oh boy the mingled discussions were entertaining !
I grew up with the Saint, but it seems so tame now. Roger Moore definitely had a different take on Bond, but I always loved his performance. It was a big deal back in the 70’s waiting for the next 007 movie to come out.
@@dmer-zy3rb Well, as stated, I disagree. I can just about watch 'The Man With The Golden Gun' for its comedic value. I couldn't watch the rest over again. Once you've seen them they're not worth watching a second time. I'd prefer to watch an episode of 'The Persuaders', which I watched as a kid without missing an episode when it was broadcast in 1972. I'd also rather watch old episodes of 'The Saint' than his Bond movies.
@@highdefboxing8056 Nonsense, everyone knows The Spy who loved me is the best Bond film bar none, an irrefutable fact if ever there was one! Opening sequence, theme song, and Barbara Bach and Caroline Munro!

In the days when an intelligent interviewer, had interesting, entertaining guests. When it was purely about the guest, one on one and not about the interviewers ego or personal agenda. When he listened, without interruption and without the need for talking skeletons, jazz bands or comedy horses in the background. When talk shows, were more intimate.
@@spanishpeaches2930 But maybe playing him for laughs or with a light touch is the right way to go. Its hardly a character or a version of reality to be taken seriously
He was evacuated to Holsworthy, in Devon during WW2 and went to school at Launceston College, but doesn't mention it because it probably sounds more glamorous to give the impression that he spent the entire war in London.
What’s amazing to me is how fast fashion changed from the mid 60s to the 70s.I mean mainstream fashion .longer hair .suit styles I was born in the 70s and just wonder how did tv and movies become so much more realistic I guess u can say adult ..some great films made in the 70s ..
I know, I always thought it was strange that the 60's astronauts(up the the 1969-1970 moon landings) all had short hair and wore suits with skinny ties. Then, the 1971-1972 astronauts let their hair grow out with long sideburns. All in the space of 1-2 years! you're also right about how films became more realistic in the 70's..maybe early 70's was a little too rough around the edges but around 72-73 we started getting The Exorcist and Godfather this started a huge wave of outstanding movies for the rest of the decade. TV was generally regarded as a "vast wasteland", I was sure there watching a ton of TV in the 70's I thought it was great but now looking back I think "yeah, it was a vast wasteland." Movies were exciting events on Friday/Saturday nights that's for sure!
I don't smoke but for some reason I miss those times. Maybe cause I picked up some ladies by offering them light ( nice lighter no cigarettes) . A wonderful by gone era.
Chuck McCann, famed puppeteer and TV fixture, was the guest to Moore's right in this, and died in 2018, only months after Roger Moore, though 5 years younger, b. 1934. There was another guest, Saul Alinsky, now there's someone worth the price of admission, one of the most interesting Americans ever. The great Jacques Maritain called him "One of the few truly great men of our century." High praise for the author of "Rules for Radicals," whom even his nemesis Em. F. Buckley called "an organizational genius". CLIP, PLEASE!
11:47...an embarrassing show of ego by Roger Moore...but hey no one is perfect....I like Roger Moore because he never took himself seriously.... And he used his fame to better the lives of people less fortunate than himself, and for that he deserves applause and respect.
Luv the smoking on set as always and guess what folks.... DICK CAVETT has OUT LIVED practically all of his GUESTS... So much for that ridiculous 2nd hand smoke ey ! 😎
Oh, brother. NOT Conrad, not even close! That's Chuck McCann, famed children's puppeteer and TV fixture. He passed in 2018, only months after Moore, both in their 80s. Saul Alinsky was on this broadcast. Now, that I'd like to see. The very eminent Jacques Maritain, co-author of the landmark "Universal Declaration on Human Rights" (hosted by Eleanor Roosevelt) called Alinsky, "One of the few truly great men of our century." CLIP, PLEASE. Show us that. A service rendered!
I do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett interviews
I really dont understand why we look at these actors as though they are terrific They may act, but their personal lives are pretty crumbly. Multiple marriages, with added affairs with other women plus children born in and outside of marriage.
What's your favourite Roger Moore interview on the Dick Cavett Show?
Please upload more of Sir Roger Moore's interview. I watch it repeatedly to feel good.
@devoutcard3206
The interview with Richard Burton really stands out. And this one featuring Roger Moore is "WAY UP THERE!"😊😊

You've written this nearly word for word as I intended. Except my mother passed ten years ago. 💕

I did a few days on Octupussy and believe me Roger Moore was a true film star, lovely man, handsome, fun and charming, one of the greats
Without a doubt, Cavett’s casual conversations, with extraordinary guests, teach us more of the moment than ten history books.
Is this what someone who is brainwashed by TV actually thinks?
@@dova7536 and exactly how did a v-1 sound? I missed that in the textbook.
Especially back then. Much more fascinating people with more depth and talent.
@@David-il9xw Now that was a class retort dear boy 😉
I don’t know. I can’t claim to have read 10 history books. You’re a better man than me! 😀
Roger Moore was always a class act and an absolute gentleman.
we miss you Roger.
We are The Beach Boys, Visiting in Melbourne. 1977
Roger was a diamond. Grew up with his Bond. The best. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Miss you, Roger!
I have 2 aunts, knew him growing up in Battersea, London in the 50's. He came to tea as their mothers knew each other. And the other knew him at school, used to say hello on the bus. She's still alive. Will be 92.
He was taking elocution lessons then. Just before he started modelling knitwear.

Roger Moore Visiting the Beach Boys
This is what you call a suave, charming, witty, English gentleman.
It's wonderful to watch Roger Moore's interview. It has humour, wit and a story to listen to.
Always liked Roger Moore. Had style and charisma. He was the best bond.
Apart from Sean Connery and Daniel Craig of course.
@@kernowarty in my opinion he was the best bond.

What a beautiful man in everyway
What a legend,the best of England 🏴
I always watched The Saint and The Persuaders while living at home and going to school.
The other guest here is Chuck McCann. Roger Moore is tremendously witty straight off-the-cuff, and makes for a splendid interview subject.
The Rockford Files episode wherein he plays a forlorn Vegas comedian is a must see.
Yes, Chuck and his funny box! @@schmittyhanrahan8126
Met him when he was in a limited theatrical run in NYC. He was surprised to see (and sign) my Saint memorabilia!
I liked his James Bond very much. A charming man.
Cavett was just perfect. Loved his style and wit
To each their own. I can't stand him as a host or interviewer.
I agree. Too many awkward moments with Cavett! You just weren't sure what he was going to say next sometimes. You can see his guests sometimes wondering the same thing. @@willtheman840
Loved the way he lights up during the interview, classic 👍
So much charm and elegance, style..
This was only 26 years after the end of the 2nd World War. It's as if someone in 2022 was talking about something that went on in the 1990s.

Dick was probably the best interviewer
errm David Frost ahem. The US networks offered Michael Parkinson some eye watering sums for the time but he was happy in the UK.

And often, as guests accumulated on the couches they’d interact so it wasn’t just one guest and the host. Oh boy the mingled discussions were entertaining !
I think Cavett stunk as an interviewer. Awkward, dull, etc.
So much class, sophistocation, charm and humor. He's amazing. Oh and I like Roger Moore too...😊
Roger was always such a class act. Still miss him a lot.
CLASSY ENGLISH GENTLEMAN ALL AROUND
Made James Bond even more grand and entertaining
Always loved roger moore such a gent 😊
Very heartwarming conversations they seemed to like each other very much great interviewer thankyou ❤️😊👍🏻
Controversial. Moore was the best Bond. He was such a fantastic raconteur! Impossibly handsome.
God I’d have loved to have shared a few drinks with Roger.
My Nan didn't use the underground tube ever again after being stuck down in the subway during the blitz just couldn't go down there again.
I am enjoying this episode very much. Thank you
the best bond.
Talent has shine.
Roger Moore had quite a life. RIP
Dick's man crush on Roger is adorable.
"You're perfect." *silence*
I grew up with the Saint, but it seems so tame now. Roger Moore definitely had a different take on Bond, but I always loved his performance. It was a big deal back in the 70’s waiting for the next 007 movie to come out.
Apparently The Saint was tame because it was sold to many countries and had to satisfy their broadcast regulations.
No one should be allowed to be that handsome, it makes the rest of us feel bad.
I was 4 during the Blitz but I had no fear - just normal life. We spent a lot of time down our Andersen Shelter
This is that time period after The Saint but before James Bond. His first 007 film was 'Live and Let Die' in 1973.
'Live And Let Die' is also his only Bond film worth watching. The rest are crap.
@@highdefboxing8056 if anything for your eyes only would be the only one worth watching

Love Dick Cavett, clever and handsome
"Clever and handsome." Are we watching the same video? lol
He is! Also extremely good journalist.
Cavett to Moore: "Will you be my wingman?"
Moore: "I'll consider your proposal."
Roger-we miss you!
My father said that the V-2s were the worst. No warning, and a city block blew up....

Yes, you would hear the sound of the rocket AFTER the explosion!
Roger with my favorite James Bond I remember the first movie I saw them in for your eyes only and I was only 10 at that time
Moore definitely lost some weight to play 007. I met Moore about 6 years ago @ The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge. Very charming guy.
I spent an afternoon with my wife there
A tasting menu..
Thank you for burnishing that memory
More than half a century ago!
I Love You Roger Moore ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Roger was really top class
Roger Moore doing a Groucho impression, priceless!
I think we all took him for granted to be always be around. Was a huge shock when he went. We seem to be losing all those we grew up with.
He was 90.
Great interview and Sir Roger Moore The Best 😊💯👍
He was very english and very handsome, we used to watch "Helgonet" as kids.
And he married a swedish woman 💐
Nobody does it better..........
Lol!

I'd like to see Wernher von Braun on the show. anyone know where to find it?
Pity we didn't get more of the other guest. He seemed to have a pleasant personality and something to say.
So handsome ❤
He was really handsome
Great interview 👍🏼
Roger Moore is James Bond, no-one else comes close.
Ha ! He played Bond for laughs. Connery was the first and best.
@@spanishpeaches2930 But maybe playing him for laughs or with a light touch is the right way to go. Its hardly a character or a version of reality to be taken seriously
He had to play it for laughs. After all, as he has said, he was was playing a secret spy who everybody who he was! @@stalkek
His tan makes him look handsome and healthy.
when TV anchors were also anchored in scholarship and reality.
He was evacuated to Holsworthy, in Devon during WW2 and went to school at Launceston College, but doesn't mention it because it probably sounds more glamorous to give the impression that he spent the entire war in London.
Everyone knows children were evacuated from London.
I think it’s more to do with the fact that the Americans wouldn’t have any concept of Launceston etc. Most yanks know London and that’s all.
