What's your favourite David Niven movie?
The Preacher's Wife. Really all of his films, he just filled the screen.
Around the world in 80 days.
A matter of life and death really good film
Having seen him in Southern France 1982... " Bonjour Tristesse " ( Hello Sadness )
We’ve all been a “victim” (I despise the word) of the rumor mill, so why would we want to help fuel it or even believe it.
His autobiography, The Moon's a Balloon, is essential reading for anyone who has even a glancing interest in the last century's cultural highlights. Thanks for the upload here and God bless Dick Cavett. 🙏
Thanks for the recommendation I've been wanting to read smth
I love the autobiography, a very entertaining book. He must have been devastated when his first wife died. I heard Roger Moore say he (Roger) absolutely did not like David's second wife.
I read it when I was a young girl and loved it. I'm thinking of getting another copy now and re-reading it.
He was an entertaining story teller. The truth may well be something else! 😅
What a lovely, lovely man David Niven was. Bless him.
Cavett is such a polite interviewer. Niven isn't there with a prepared script, so is clearly reaching to get the details right. Anyone used to modern chat-show formats would be expecting the host to leap in with their ego running during each of those tiny pauses, but here, Cavett just lets the story unfold naturally. A real gent.
Also, anyone else think the other interviewee may been doing something recreational before going on? Bless her if she was.
I didn’t get that impression, I thought it was just because she was foreign. Do you have any idea who she was?
@@davidhull1481 Joan Hackett....an American...she had a pretty good run in the late sixties\early seventies....and I thought she was kinda spacey too.....or maybe she just fancied a bit of ole' Niv there.
@@jhassett2 I guess I was wrong then, thanks
@@jhassett2 And, they both passed within a few months of each other in 1983. She was 49, he was 73.
Here it is 2022 & I just heard about his book. Just started reading it the other night. What an interesting way he had of writing.
Back when guests and host were effortlessly charming and debonair.
The dude of debonaire.
These time capsules are great for a peer into a time where people were so well spoken and well mannered. A different breed indeed. Born from hard times and humble beginnings no doubt. It will happen again. Perhaps100 years from now after major wars, economic depressions, pandemics, famine, etc a humble people free of social media/ advertising gimicks will be produced. I believe in my heart it will, hopefully without a need for the cycle to repeat.
It's funny Joan Hackett asking what his sign was. Not only were they both Pisces, they shared the same birthday--March 1st.
That was like a piece from a time capsule. Yes. At that time, it was about "sun" signs. LOL! Everyone was asking, "what's your sign?"
For a more indepth and relaxed Niven chat see Parkinson.
Niven was very patient with that women.
His body language was showing that he was a bit irritated with her comments.
Class
Lovely to see Joan Hackett , she was something special , but sadly died too soon !
Joan Hackett finds out they shared the same birthday (March 1st) but tragically they also both died in the same year, 1983 , 11 years later, she at the far too young age of 49....Mind you notwithstanding that she interrupted David's flawless story telling too much!
Reminds me of so many I met in Hollywood: full of themselves. Maybe that's what you need along with some talent to get recognized.
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
Joan Hackett thot of the same game his story reminded me of. Norman Rockwell did a funny painting of it, also. The studio publicity depts were known to be real cutthroat about oscars.
The studio Heads in those days took no prisoners. Even Eroll Flynn's nomination was "lost" in the mix. Those guys got to where they were by acting like (sophisticated) absolute THUGS. BUT STILL THUGS.
Who was the female guest also on the show?
Joan Hackett, a beautiful, talented actress who died too young.
What a potent femininity.
@@ianbauer4703 thank you.
@@pamelavarilone2614 Sure thing!
🎉 P r o m o s m!!!
Who is that lady ?
Joan Hackett. She was an actress in a real funny movie called "support your local sheriff".
That was painful
I didn't get Niven's story at all.
