Vincent Price is a national treasure.
A well spoken, highly educated actor. Not exactly commonplace these days!
You just don't see people like Vincent Price anymore. Very nice interview.
Amen
Faaaaalse. I saw some earlier today. You must abandon retreat at least once in a great while kind Sir.
@@ReginaldForman
You are just a Generic, who could never appreciate what he was. DA.
@@jonniereynolds7915 It was a quote from one of his movies.
thanks
Such a charming gentleman ,impeccable manners .He listens to the questions , answers thoughtfully and throws in plenty of self effacing humour .A great interview ,pity it is such a lost art these days.
James Day asked some really good and insightful questions. Interviewing skills is a lost "art" itself these days.
I disagree. He was a dastardly obtuse character of high immorality and a temperate disposition. This interview was horrendously executed with flaws at every given interpretation. However, I digress. Good day Sir.
@@ReginaldForman obtuse ? He studied at Yale
@@ReginaldForman you are either a troll or willfully delusional. Either way- you have no clue what you’re talking about in the slight st.
You seem so envious so bitter
He speaks with a sort of casual intelligence about art. This is not something one can fabricate. When you are very well acquainted with a subject you can talk with verve, precision and genuine insights.
He displays no affectation, pomposity or pretentious attitudes to art. He is is at ease with himself good humoured and would be a superb dinner companion.
when i was a kid in England i always had Vincent Price on top of my list of favourite Horror Actors. He's just so damn interesting. And his voice is amazing.
I could listen to Vincent talk all day! Such a brilliant man who lived life to its fullest. I love him so much.
Totally Agree
Me too!! Love, appreciate, respect unlike any other!! I Soo miss him Lee and Cushing! Endearing, highly educated, compassionate men! Price and I have interests in common. You accomplished much; what a great run! We are poorer will out you!!! RIP Sir!!!!!!
Could listen to his voice forever.
Me too it puts me to sleep ^^
What a privilege that we have platforms like UA-cam to check out these interviews with all the greats.
Such a rare sight today ,someone of this caliber.
Vincent makes you feel so relaxed listening to him .
Could listen to Vincent speak all day long,seemed like a lovely man.
One of my favourite people ever! I grew up watching and loving his movies so much. Such an erudite, charming, intelligent gentleman.
One of a kind, Price was a true renaissance man. I grew up on his horror films and have loved his work ever since.
What an extraordinary and charming man. Always adored him!
Vincent Price Was Such a Nice Guy Off Camera!
The great Vincent Price.
There will never be another like Vincent Price! Great interview ❤
2 words Pure Class
Could listen to him talk all day...his voice is intoxicating
He is right, there is nothing like a trip to Europe. The art is just overwhelming
One of my favorite actors in the horror genre. All time great!
A life lived to the fullest Mr. Price!!! You are FOREVER LOVED and RESPECTED!!! Thank you for your gifts to us all!! RIP Sir!! ❤️
He had SUCH a GREAT Sense of Humor and a GREAT Laugh! A TRUE Treasure!
This is priceless, no joke.
So cozy interview) like they somewhere in home... It's amazing everytime for me how Vincent always looked younger his actual age... Here's he 63 but look's like 53 😄 It's extraordinary how he's always alive and calm, and truly interested in everything he talks about and just authentic man with so deep insightful eyes... Yeah, wish were more man like him in the world...
An amazing actor and a true gentleman. I was lucky enough to have met him when he was on a lecture tour 40 years ago.
Nice to know that he really did have such a deep voice!!!!
One of the reasons why I still want to do professional acting and why I wrote poetry; and short stories. His work was unmatched.
One of my favourite actors. Unique and a one off👌
I found out Vincent Price with Corman's movies when I was a young kid and I immediately loved him and those kind of movies, but just now, by watching these old interviews I realise that he's one of the very few celebrities that make me wanna be a close friend of his.
OMG he was so gorgeous!
He listens so critically… the minute the interviewer starts talking he’s all ears. Even while mid sentence.
"Art is nothing more than the visual report of the time in which it's done."
Such a brilliant insight so elegantly phrased.
If PBS had elected to do an art documentary show (even a miniseries) about art with Price as the host, people would still be watching it today, like they watch Bob Ross paint
Love Vincent Price! 😊
What a joy, and jovial great person Sir Vincent Sir is, yay! He keeps us happy, Class. What a joyous guy😊👍🔒🔐
He always was a charming and talented fellow.
Such a classy and handsome man. I have always admired Mr. Vincent Price.
PRICELESS !
A Legend!❤
To echo what others have already written Vincent Prince is a remarkably articulate, accomplished and charming man. Though I knew he was an art collector I did not know he was educated at Yale University and the Courtauld Institute in London. James Day's inteviewing style, asking broad questions and giving his guest the latitude to answer them. is just how an interview should be done.
Wonderful! what a real education can do for someone.
As a child, this man’s pure presence could scare the hell outta me. And yet, he’s nothing like he is in his movies.
Interesting hearing that he had no formal training as an actor, you'd never know it when he's acting everyone else off the screen!
to me, he will always be the prosecutor of the emperor, in the wonderful film Song of Bernadette with Jennifer Jones of 1943. I love him, I hope he is in heaven !
Hands down, IMO, Vincent Price the GREATEST of All time!
Fascinating, really is.
Cheers...
Total class act. I worked as a studio singer for 40 years, 6 of those being on the Red Skelton Show. One time when Vincent Price was the featured guest, I took my copy of A Treasury of Great Recipes for him to autograph and he was most gracious. He write Fir Diana, Love, Luck and Bob Appetit! Mary and Vincent Price. I absolutely cherish that!
His interviews are always funny and fascinating. I hope someone posts the talk show appearance where he got into an argument with Fredric Wertham about horror movies. I did not know he no formal acting training! He was such a natural at it. Great at serious and comedy roles. His voice is so good for drama and humor.
He seems like a guy I would like to have tea with and chat about art and drama. R.I.P.
wow. this is great
GIVE THEM TO THE PUBLIC
He was great. So sad we have to get old and die.
Love that man!
Legend.
Excellent interview, intelligent questions and thoughtful, charming answers. Thank you.
Vincent price you you are magnificent
he's not on youtube, checking messages
@@corrado oh is he dead?
The legend🧟♂thanks for posting this
A true original 🌹
Distinguished, handsome man.
Vincent Price was Classy man and a great actor. ☺️🙌
Great interview.
I got introduced to Vincent Price through the creature double feature on TV38 WSBK in Boston. And what a wonderful actor. Who brought Edgar Allen Poe's work out. His movies are more mystery than horror. And friends with some great guys. Like Alice Cooper and Deep Purple. And now my grandkids are loving his work.
Thanks for sharing.
A true Renaissance Man. V classy individual.
Vincent Price's daughter said her father bought a Jackson Pollock for 50 dollars. He purchased work from many great artists, early in their careers.
I would've loved to see his lecture on villains
PERFECT.
Quite captivating.
He was so handsome to me.
excellent interview
Vincent Price was and is amazing. Love his work with Alice Cooper amongst many other things he did over his long and brilliant career.
crazy but I sorta crushed on him as a little girl in the 90's
I crushed on Vincent Price too, from late 1973 to mid-1978, when I was in my 20s.
It was the movie Dragonwyck, My mother was a big fan and I guess I learned from her, I was in my teen years. He was awesome.
I still have a crush on him.
Everytime I hear his voice there is a tingling in my stomach. It started when I first heard him talk long time ago and it never stopped to happen.
I have a crush on him now and he is no longer here! His acting and his personality are just unbelievable! I have so much respect for him! I just love his movies! He was a true gentleman!
Mr price would have made a wonderful Vilan a JAMES BOND MOVIE. I've always considered him a GREAT actor ..RIP
He was so wonderful in "His Kind of Woman". Would have loved to have worked with him.
I live in the wrong era.
Anyone a fan of Scooby-Doo?, My boi Vince Van Ghoul
Legend❤️
He Was charisma in and out the screen
Vincent married Australian actress Coral Browne this year, 1974, after a whirlwind romance. They met and fell in love on the movie 'Theatre of Blood' .
VP had been married to his second wife Mary for 24 years, and was 62 years old when he fell for Coral, and she was 60 years old and followed him to America. His divorce was inevitable, it was a coup de foudre.
The tall, stylish and famously witty couple were a regular feature on Hollywood red carpets. They were happily married until her death from breast cancer in 1991, aged 77 (she died two days after Vincent's 80th birthday). Vincent died 2 years later, in 1993, aged 82. By all accounts they were a wonderful couple, and counted among their large, eclectic group of friends English playwright Alan Bennett, Joan Rivers, Jane Russell and Barry Humphries.
Am I the only person in my 20s watching videos like this?
stop making us feel old
I'm only 40 but just discovered him, feel head over crazy about him. Even got a major tattoo:)
I was head over crazy about him back in the 1970s too, and I'm still a fan of his, though I shouldn't be gloating about it.
Not true!!!! Ive been watching him my whole life n I'm younger too
I'm 32. Growing up in the 1990s I fell in love with old horror films from the 50s, 60s and 70s and loved Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Donald Pleasence
Икона! Недосягаемое мастерство
A scholar and a gentleman. For us here in crusty ol' Europe it always makes us chuckle to ourselves when we see our American cousins debating about Mr Price's "trans-Atlantic" accent.
To put it as politely as possible... Vincent was one of the few AMERICAN actors who could actually speak the English Language correctly. Add to that a talented artist, a sophisticated locutor and a critical thinker based in a strong historical background... Well, what do you get?... Something you feel you have to call "trans-Atlantic" because it is so foreign to the standard US education.
Vincent very much had the British approach to performing on stage... from the outside in.
A smart man. It is a shame that half of the US think that being "intellectual" equates to being weak or unmasculine. Those gun-toting ignorami should consider the fact that the US, as it stands, only stands thanks to its great thinkers.
Well said. His accent was unusual but sounded natural, unlike the odd sounding Gor Vidal who sounded as if he was affecting a British type accent it sounded phoney.
I have to take exception to your pidgeon-holing of the Americaan mentality and attitude towards intellectualism. We are all not knuckle-draggers just as Europeans are all not peasants. Cheers
its like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, They look creepy, but are nice sincere people.
Vincent Price b. 27 May 1911
Christopher Lee b. 27 May 1922
Peter Cushing b. 26 May 1913
All 3 of them were well known to be nice , classy, gentlemen! ☺️
What is the actual color of Vincent Price's eyes? They look blue in some shows, gray in others.
Probably both, my eyes are considered blue but most days look gray. Which is funny because he is my great great great uncle and share a lot of the same interests and traits. I didn't know it until I read this comment that we had/have the same color eyes. I don't see a lot of ppl with gray eyes like mine/ours lol
what a classy bastid! i just watched Last man on Earth......what a goddam movie. i had never seen it. it's one of his best
Lucky wife
What year was this Vincent rocks
I am off to listen to Toscaninni peoples. 🎵✌😇🔒🔐
I feel human again, someone who is not stupid or dumb.
I would 💕 to have seen Vincent Price & Jonathan Frid do Shakespear
What a combo!!!! 💯 in agreement!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Actor, horror icon, epicure, connoisseur of fine art, narrator, host, and a really fun person. Always one of my favorites. I particularly favor Vincent in funnier roles, like his turn in Corman's The Raven. His scenes with Peter Lorre, especially in the beginning, are wonderful. (There's also the film The Comedy of Terrors, but the high pitched singing of Joyce Jameson is like fingernails digging into a chalk board, so I don't watch that one a lot.)
Do you mean Comedy of Terrors?
@@margaretgarnto6272 :D Oops-- yes, not sure how or why I typed it that way. Thanks. I'll correct it now.
$37.50 for a Rembrandt etching, get in.
Always thought he was English. Only when researching him did i ealise he was American. His accent is really pronounced here as opposed to in his roles.
iff only he got edward scissor hands , HANDS MADE N ON JOHHNY DEPP we wouldnt of had the movie edward scissorhands lol !!! well done VINCNENT NOT THINKIN AHEAD !! lol joking !! r.i.p great man
Price got it wrong about Yale -- they started admitting women in 1968 and went fully coed the following year.
