What's your favourite Robert Shaw movie?
God- tough one...isn't the just so ...intense in every thing he does? Love him...sad his career was so short. I liked him in "Robin and Marian" as the nasty sheriff of Nottingham (the best Robin Hood retelling, IMO).
Jaws, no doubt!
He was definitely at his best in Jaws, but The Sting is my favorite movie he was in.
Doyle Lonigaine.
The Sting
At the date of this airing in 1971, Shaw had yet to make "Jaws," or "The Sting" or some of his more famous roles. Fantastic actor and complex man. Greatly missed.
the taking of pelham 123, he had some amazing roles in 70s
Shaw= one of the greatest. We lost him way too soon.
Definitely.
also a wonderful writer, not bestseller type books but excellent
4 packs a day..
and alcoholic.
It's a miracle that he lasted for so long.

I can't get over how real these conversations are, how normal it was for the audience to be quiet and only laugh at moments that were actually funny. These days I feel like there has to be a joke or a quip every five damn seconds to the speakers can be drowned out by the audiences laughter.
You're not wrong my friend.
Robert Shaw had to be one of the most interesting people to ever walk the face of the earth. I swear.
Which is funny because no one has ever bothered to write a sufficient biography of him.
@@ccm4052”More than a Life” is a very good Shaw biography.
Robert Shaw was fiercely intelligent. The conversation here about artists' drives impelled by their neuroses and the difficulties in distinguishing between mental and physical illness is intriguing.
Exactly what I thought but you articulated it beautifully.
Robert Shaw was the most strangely compellingly combination of intimidating tough guy and loveable teddy bear. .... No Actor today can match his phenomenal "Presence," even for a second.
We always hear that. That no actor will match another actor's special thing. Of course not! Who wants a carbon copy of someone we've already had? The best ones are singularly unique--and should be!
That Caretaker scene is freely viewable on UA-cam. Chillingly underplayed. One of the great monologues by one of the greats.
Would you mind providing a link?
" like a doll's eye " Shaw was such a brilliant actor .
I watch The Sting at least once a month. What an actor.
Jaws
The English Gene Hackman
@@rebelwithoutaclue8164 The Deep was pretty good too
Oh yeah I respect good actors I have one he was in, guns of navaronne WW2 war movie ? With Barbara Bach other good players I can't think of I remember her though. Oh yeah Harrison Ford.
For all the hype surrounding the Great White in Jaws it's Robert Shaw who steals the film. It still boggles the mind why he was not even nominated for an Academy Award for his performance. His Indianapolis monologue is my favourite scene of the film. It's unfortunate he died relatively young. I believe he was either in his late forties or early fifties. The time I saw him on the big screen was The Sting and then years later Black Sunday. I missed seeing Jaws in a theatre.
So engrossed watching this that I completely forgot it's a clip... just wish it kept going! What a character. Famously didn't get along with fellow actor Richard Dreyfuss while shooting Jaws yet just watch how emotional Dreyfuss gets talking about him on Ireland's The Late Late show from 2014...
"There is - you just made it" Shaw was as quick and smooth as it gets.
"BACK HOME WE GOT A TAXIDERMY MAN!! HE GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN HE SEE WHAT I BROUGHT HIM!!"
Love these interviews. Never stop uploading.
Robert Shaw (Doué bardono i éné) is no doubt, my favorite actor. My only consolation after Robert passed on,was that for the forty years I lived in Brittany (Trégor) I knew many people that looked and sounded like him but all spoke Breton. Sadly, almost all of them have passed on too. I miss him and them every day.
Mr. Shaw was a multi-talented person who had a restless energy that no doubt lent to his incredibly successful portfolio. These vintage talk shows were far more interesting than the ones in 2021.
Far more interesting
Red Grant was one of the best Bond Villians of all time...From Russia ...was extremely well written.
Robert Shaw was such an interesting man. I’m sure I could’ve talked with him for hours
Brilliant actor a legend 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
This guy was born almost a stone's throw away from where I live and I've never heard him speak with his own accent. I always expect him to talk with a borad Irish-American twang like Quint or Doyle Lonnegan, but it's surprising how softly spoken he was in real life.
Like I said, he was born not far away from where I live, and I know he moved away when he was still young, but he still has a bit of the local twang in his accent.
It's also a bit of an eye opener just how easy he was to connect with. I always had him pictured as a bit of an Olly Reed type, who you didn't really know how to take, and could come across as extremely intimidating.
He was English, not Irish lmao. And by “Irish-American” accent you really just mean an American accent
@@thomsboys77 Yeah, you didn't watch Jaws yet, did you?!
I know he was English. As I already said, he was born almost a stone's throw away from where I live.
Ya follow?
@@surebrec5113have you read his novels? Three of them are very good indeed.
Tragically died here in Ireland on the way home. His grandson is the star of Artemis Fowl.Ferdia Shaw.
Cracking interviewer, I’d say only Parkinson was on his level here in the UK. Robert Shaw was a great storyteller!
Completely different voice from Quint its Remarkable how easily he can change his accent & tone
Fabulous looking guy. Awesome actor. My 1st celeb crush, still proud of it ! Gone way too soon.
Many actors receive similar comments from their fans, "He (or she) is one of the greatest actors of all time!" I think of myself as a Clint Eastwood fan, a Robert Downey Jr. fan, an Ed Norton fan, a Bryan Cranston fan, a Bob Odenkirk fan, and a Hugh Laurie fan, just to name a few examples. I don't actively think of myself as a Robert Shaw fan. So I think I'm able to make a rare, dispassionate assessment here when I say that in a very wide field of "one of the greatest actors" it is certainly true that someONE among them has a legitimate claim on THE top spot, and I would definitely be leading the campaign of those who suggest that Robert Shaw IS indeed that ONE. He is absolutely spellbinding in every role I've seen him perform. If Robert Shaw was before your time, do yourself this favor and get acquainted.
Robert Shaw's most remarkable role is in William Friedkin's adaptation of Harold Pinter's Birthday Party (1968).
yes!
A great actor, very interesting talker
Thank you for this. It would be great to see the rest of the interview!!
We are still waiting for a bigger boat.
Great Interview. The caretaker is another great shaw performance right up there with the hireling
Great interview
❤️ Robert Shaw
Thank you @dickcavett For uploading this. Please can we see interview in full.
Also Robert Shaw appeared on an episode of Cavett with Woody Allen as other guest in late 69 or early 1970. Please could you upload this?
The great Robert Shaw…..
Robert played Randolph Churchill in Young Winston.
Randolph had syphilis.
Not proven, and not firmly claimed in 'Young Winston'.
@@esmeephillips5888 Thanks been awhile since I saw the film.
Battle of the Bulge (1965) was great.
"FOUR NINES." "FOUR JACKS."
Superb.
I like him in all of his films, but my absolute favourite is A Man For All Seasons ... he was everything I imagined Henry VIII to be
Back when it was okay to flick one's cigarette ash on the TV talkshow host's rug.
he was brilliant in The Sting. Ya falla?
He was even better in Jaws. Greatest monologue ever.
He was one cool dude
Dad recorded them filming Jaws in 1974. Silent film but compelling just the same. Shaw signed some items like my Dad's Lobster Buoy and traps.
For heaven sakes post it!!!
I've given my collection to someone because I didn't want to deal with all of the copyright strikes. If he makes it public I will let you know
Robert Shaw died way before his time.
Terrible what happened to his beautiful wife as well.
So sad that his drinking & smoking lead to WAY too early a death for this amazing actor. 😥
i used to smoke , but never more than a pack a day, god knows how anyone could smoke 4 packs,
best Bond villain
Jó volt a halál 50 órájában
He's very interesting.
💔💙
4:00 I think only Jack got that one. :D
They don’t make ‘em like Shaw. In a nation of corn fed fat faces, I appreciate his rugged English bone structure right now as much as I do his charm and intellect.
I always thought that Robert Shaw and Richard Dawson, of Hogan's Heroes and Family Feud fame, can pass for brothers.

Is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason? I don’t have Decades.
Dan Tempest (showing my age somewhat)
want to see the whole interview please where?
4 packs a day & not a peep out of anyone .. could be the reason why left so early.
Haha Shaw had a bit of the devil in him. He was so likeable and charming he could get away with it. Im sure he channeled alot of that dark shadow into his work which is why he was so great.
Quint!!!
Pre Jaws
Jaws. C'mon..
Pre jaws
Why don't people act so naturally honest these days? WHY(?!), i'm asking.
6:00 Painfully true statement here.
do you know anybody who had a labotomy (lol). can you imagine graeme norton asking that.
Never heard his real accent before. Very eeeeeeee by gum!
He was born and raised in Westhoughton, a town in Lancashire. Only about 10 miles from my home town so i consider him a local legend.
@@Johnnybojangles664 He spent a year or two of his childhood in Orkney, where his father was a doctor, but obviously not long enough to pick up the accent.
Ever notice that Brits always say "at all" as "a-tall"?
Don't like it when you only show half of an interview
Who is the Lady ?
The Caretaker never made a profit?
Oh joy.
A great actor died too young...........
4 packs a day?? No wonder he died at 51
Douncy me
Ah buts the intelligent minority

Shaw was becoming an unhappy man when this aired. He was carrying the expense of ten kids from three marriages. He was an alcoholic who owed heavy back taxes, which forced him into exile in Ireland.
He had enjoyed a rising reputation as a novelist and dramatist- his second novel won one of Britain's top literary prizes- but for the last seven years of his life he published nothing. His second wife, whom he had rescued from John Osborne, killed herself.
He despised the big American movies such as 'Jaws' which used this onetime member of the Royal Shakespeare Company as a likeably villainous heavy. As a writer he found some of the lines scripted for him unspeakable.
Shaw planned to hustle long enough to pay his debts, raise his brood and then do only the occasional small film while writing. But time ran out too soon. One day in Ireland he felt sick, got out of his car and died of a heart attack in front of his third wife. He was 51.
Today he is widely known only for those supporting parts in blockbusters. His books are forgotten. He was at his peak in the 'small film' he discusses, 'The Caretaker': the best movie of a Pinter play, which also helped launch Donald Pleasence and Alan Bates.
Actually he ended up being very proud of Jaws and was thrilled that it became the biggest ever film in 1975.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Well, that was some consolation. And it was a good, rollicking character part and a scene-stealer, like his villain in 'From Russia with Love'. It is a shame Shaw could not last long enough to give us a few more, bc he was the sort of actor who matures professionally as he ages physically. He could have vied with Jack Hawkins or Charles Gray.
Another British example of promise cut short is my favorite working-class hero, Stanley Baker. He died before he was 50 and Caine and Connery stepped into his shoes. As a movie star Sir Stanley was better than that other virile Welshman, Burton, whose life rather paralleled Shaw's.
According to his wife, robert shaw was a repressed homosexual.
Which wife?
Very repressed. He had nine children
@@owenb8548 He was having sex with Dreyfuss. Well known.
