His speech to Sinatra and his reciting of "do not go gently in to that good night" are two of my favourite off stage/film things of Burton.
I’m curious . What has brought your attention to Burton , and if I may what is your age?
His portrayal of O'Brian in 1984 was stunning in his calm sadistic affect.A genius.
He could read the instruction manual to a dvd player and make it sound great. He has this tough look but also a fragility about himself too.
Dick Cavett is one of the greats, along with Richard Burton, thank you for this gem💫
I will say that once you stop drinking, it's just life without drinking. The cravings and urges get weaker the desire fainter and life fills that void with generally speaking other interests ranging from the beneficial and uplifting to the vain and outrageous. Life is and being alive is an incredible experience. Celebrate yourself and all the love and goodness you are capable of giving. If you do drink do not drive even though it's really fun to do so ❤
This interview was from July 1980.
THANK YOU.... !! I was wondering when this was. Appreciate it.
Cavett brought the best out of his guest. He was always so well prepared and he possessed encyclopedic knowledge about so many topics and his interviewing style just naturally put his guest at ease.
It seemed so easy though, you know? He didn't seem prepared. Cavett's interviews should be treasured.
I think he was at his most interesting and sympathetic here.
Beautiful man!
Imagine a modern US talk show host just listening and giving the guest space, rather than just going through a script.
I just ordered the book Talk Show by Cavett and I’m looking forward to reading it with Cavett’s voice in my head.
Take it easy
German is a beautiful language
agreed
That audience though. Why do simple-minded people laugh so much?
Why do judgmental people not understand what nervous laughter is? 🤔
Agree. Was surprised to hear laughter as he was discussing alcoholism. He addressed it well by saying it is not a laughing matter soon after some laughter began. Perhaps at that time society wasn't as open to discussing these things, and it was in fact nervous laughter.
@pereg - I agree. I couldn't understand the laughter either.
It wasn't that many people laughing. I would presume that out of an entire studio audience, at least that many people are active alcoholics. Perhaps they were laughing as recognition or fear. 🤷
It's nervous laughter. It seems so awkward, but some people react this way.
Deeply sensitive man Richard ...eyes 👀 say
Can't be touched? Is that what Liz said?
People laugh at the most inappropriate time.
I'm disappointed he didn't ask Richard about when he discovered the source of the Nile or traveled to Mecca.
He doesn’t look well here four years before his death. He looks quite depressed. Contrast this interview with his Parkinson interview only 6 years before.
Boxer ...or 800 lb gorilla 🦍 in alley way
