    Peter Ustinov was a unique treasure, I wish more of his interviews - especially full Parkinson interviews were available with the visuals as his expressions were so much part of his storytelling.

      Here is a link to some of the visual representations of these interviews. They aren't complete, but at least it's something!

    Peter Ustinov god bless him was a talented genius and his impersonations of people he knew were outstanding. I could listen to him for hours and always looked forward to him appearing on talk shows especially Parky. We will never see a man with his talent again.

    I like the fact that the band played the theme from Peter and the Wolf as he made his entrance.
    Ustinov is always fun to listen to.
    Thanks for posting.

    As a.... portly youth I saw the film ' Death on the Nile. Not only did I feel privileged to see the masterpiece on the silver screen, I had found my very first Idol. I researched everything Ustinov. I want(ed) to BE this genius when I grew (grow) up

      Figarohey :
      Exactly my thought !
      There may be one
      somewhere...🤔
      Dudley was so funny
      doing his impressions
      of Opera : " Die
      Flabbergast " was SO good.
      And with Peter, here ,
      they were both
      improvising in a
      wonderfully effective
      way : how many of the
      current " celebrities"
      could do the same ?🤔
      Dudley's suffering was
      heartbreaking, especially
      for such a gifted
      musician.🎼🎹💙

    Peter gives SO much ,
    in conversations.
    His storytelling is
    so entertaining😊,
    And yet, still can
    be absolutely
    serious about
    UNICEF, etc.
    I read his book,
    " Dear Me", and have
    just found a recording
    Peter reading it,
    on UA-cam😊📖.
    Recommended.👍.
    🇬🇧⭐💙🦉🎼🌈🇬🇧

    Compare a raconteur like Peter Ustinov to some of the self-promoting nonentities paraded before us on today's chat shows. Will Graham Norton never run out of second rate mimes pontificating about their latest roles?

      I guess if a huge
      organisation like
      U.N degenerates,
      there's not much
      one person can do,
      except Whistle-Blow,
      perhaps....🤔😢
      Years ago, U.N. seemed
      like a " toothless
      old buffalo "...😢
      In what ways has it
      declined ? 🤔
      Is there corruption ?
      Is it in the running
      to be put up as
      " World Government"?
      Or would that invite
      Tyranny , or
      takeover , by a
      Theocracy, perhaps ?
      We've seen how
      top-heavy
      Bureaucracy
      in E.U. is
      counter-productive,
      so what chance,
      U.N. ?🤔😢🙄
      Have they had a vote
      telling the warmongers
      in the Middle East
      to STOP🔥 THEIR 🔥
      MADNESS🔥, for example ?
      Or is the Veto System

  • @hughvane

    I love audio, and am an ardent admirer of Ustinov, but why do media celebrities ((incl interviewer) feel the need or compulsion to say "I mean" or "of course" at least once in every second sentence? It was disappointing to say the least that someone as eloquent as Ustinov could not resist the practice. I wonder if anyone had the fortitude to point it out to him.

    • @pipfox7834
      @pipfox7834 3 роки тому +2

      in order to fit in at school, Peter picked up the English idioms probably to a fault, trying to be absolutely as English as possible ( Including those little conversational tics that you mention). He had a miserable time at school, they teased him thinking his name was German not Russian. This was just after World War One.

  • @veritas6335

    I thought that surely Ustinov would rise above the British outright refusal to pronounce foreign words corrrectly. ( For example, Don Juan is called Don Jew-un by the British. Ugh. The entire world knows how to pronounce Don Juan.).
    But no. When he referred to Don Quixote as Don Qwix-ott my hopes were dashed.
    And if you’re British, FYI: Quixote is a Spanish name, and Cervantes’s world famous character, for centuries now. . The name is pronounced Kee-ho-tay.

      The poster probably probably tried to add it but couldn't or copyright reasons. At least you can hear it so enjoy it and don't be moaning. You can see clips of this interview from another UA-cam upload that was part of a documentary of his interviews with Parkinson broadcast in 2005.

    • @lezzman

      This was broadcast around 1977. It was most probably recorded on reel-to-reel or cassette tape. Lie back, close your eyes and visualise it for yourself. [Another Aussie in Aussie]

      if ww2 had not happened we would not have lost India if we had not lost India Pakistan would never have been created. and if Pakistan had not been created this country would not be full of legal or illegal immigrants sucking the blood from this country (and p,s it has nothing to do with race its to do with why they come here)

    I think this was from 1977, this interview is about his Autobiography Dear Me, which came out that year.
