On the tailored on Savile Row suits of James Bond and Michael Caine and Roger Moore visiting their favourite London tailor Douglas Hayward.
It's more than I got paid which is why I stole the suits. What a character. RIP Sir Roger Moore.
met Roger and his then wife luisa back in 85 it was raining and they
invited me to sit in their car as it was raining he was there for the
london premier of a view to a kill, he was signing a photo for me and
didnt want the photo or me to get wet, i was only a kid of 17, what a
gentleman he was. we chatted then he said really sorry but must get to
the odean in leicester square i thanked them both and left again to go
home
Omg that’s incredible
🥱🥱🥱
A true gentleman
My mother worked for Roger and Luisa when they were living in London just off Park Lane. She was their housekeeper and one of her regular tasks was to iron his tailored silk pyjamas. My mother also used to read the scripts he used to leave lying around and when they moved back to Switzerland Luisa gave my mother a beautiful blue Aquascutum raincoat. My brother and I also got a signed Roger Moore photograph which he dedicated to us. Wonderful people.
This is a sign of a classy gentlemen, God Bless him.
Michael Caine is one of the few people that can say they were good friends with both Roger Moore and Sean Connery.
so?
Wow! My 2 favourite actors & they were friends. Never took themselves too seriously & were very natural. A joy to see. R.I.P Sir Roger.
Miss Rog dearly. The very first Bond I ever saw in the theater. Live and Let Die. I loved him in the role. he made it his own.
Same for me-saw Live And Let Die in a theater in Germany late 1974. Terrific actor.
Rog made 3 classic Bond's . Live and Let Die. Golden Gun. And Spy who loved me. I think Spy was his best. But I really loved Live and Let. @@thedustykeratometer8570
-He gave the best inside leg measurement!
-Yeah, a great inside leg measure, he’d do ya. Smashing!
Lol.
True cool never really ages, and never goes out of style. Both these guys were and are True cool.
They may be in their 80's but Roger Moore and Michael Caine are still cool as hell!
Sonny, u're all wrong. Señor Roger Moore has passed on. I'm sorry to break the news to u
Imagine walking along the street and seeing those two guys coming out of the tailor's
It would be great! I have walked past Heyward's (it's on Mount St, W1) many times and I've never seen anyone coming out, famous or otherwise. I wonder if there's a back door for the famous?
"See, how much tape he's got here."
Classic Roger Moore. (He was James Bond)
Brilliant Actor. Charming, Witty, Classy.
Micheal Caine. Great Actor, Funny, Gritty, Great guy, tells a good story.
Immortalised on celluloid.
RIP Sir Roger Moore
Love you Roger Moore!!?
RIP Mr 007.
Your in heaven now drinking your vodka martinis, shaken but not stirred.
Just listened to Michael Caine,s autobiography and he said roger walked across the road to tell him that he would make it as a star, this was long before Michael made it and roger was a star in the saint, Michael said that he never forgot how down to earth and no pretences, ps Michael didn’t mention the Italian job for some reason in his audiobook
Roger. Moore. ...... Best. James. Bond. Ever. ....... !!!
A great video thank you. It makes me feel ashamed to simply 'Throw on a pair of Jeans' every day.
Got to smarten up my act! 🏆🇬🇧
What a pair of gentlemen. Truly one of a kind
Where oh where did the quality go. Perfect Gentlemen.
Roger looks abit like Jack Nicholson with sunglasses
Great Roger Moore..😔.
Great clip. Legends
Style never goes out of fashion 😉
I would dearly love to be able to be a customer of this establishment. One day, maybe...
Moore the most funny bond
I like the safari suit, it looked good on him.
Moore was the ideal Bond, had the best styles and clothes imo, those 70-80s overall styles ruled all.....still does...never forget...
Its called 'on days like these'. Originally by Matt Munro.
This is wonderful!
They were such good pals. I love the way Michael says "I'm looking over the camera and can see Roger Moore staring at me in dark glasses ... Oi!!"
Roger Moore had that almost unique blend of being ridiculously handsome, tall and with a refined voice, yet was always kind, caring, funny and self-deprecating. Many people look down on Roger's Bond films and even his acting. Yet watch some of his other films such as Shout at the Devil, Crossplot, The Man who Haunted Himself, Sea Wolves, Escape from Athena, Ffolkes, Wild Geese etc and it's clear that he was actually quite versatile and GOOD as an actor.
Sir Roger Moore RIP 1927 - 2017
Sir Roger Moore and Michael Caine are good mate
I think Roger was the best Bond. I don’t think Michael Caine would have been good as Bond. But I can easily imagine him in any other of the reoccurring roles like M, Q, Minister of Defence, etc…
Sonny, with Michael Caine's silly cokney accent, the box office would've went all down hill. A cokney accent doesn't really fit a Bond persona. Very incompatible
@@russtorque2993Hence why Roger Moore lost his cockney accent
Miss you too mush sir
El gran Roger Moore unico insuperable el mejor en todo
Roger Moore has such a modern stylish personal image. He was quite unique. He was naturally swarve ,cool and debonair. He said himself when interviewed once , good looks and mostly luck that gave him success. Otherwise don't go into Showbusiness.
Yes a lot of it was luck - he was of the age that was just too young to fight in WW2 (he was commissioned in the army at the end of 1945 I think) so he was around in London and available for theatre and film work at the time when most young men were serving overseas.
I know sean connery was more imposing and more manly, but Ive always preferred Roger Moore as Bond, was far more elegant, sophisticated and really more Bond and more english. Connery was a brute without any nuances IMO. Connery's movies were better though, except live and let die, which is a superb Bond film, and Connery was far more attractive to females becuase of his menacing presence, which women love
Yes, Roger Moore will always be Bond for me.
One likes to add that really only Sean Connery portraits the very specific image that commanders of the armed forces carry. All the others are "agents". Connery was thus the best.
Are you a psychologist?
@@martinrivermoore9545 True, although out of all the Bonds, Sir Roger was the only one who was actually a serving officer in HM Forces (although he was in the army rather than the navy).
@@LondonfogeyConnery was in the Navy. Roger Moore was the youngest ever to serve in the British Army at the time.
Doug Hayward did some beautiful clothes for Stephen Boyd in the 1968 spy thriller ASSIGNMENT K.
1:55 wow, so many mistakes in that advert! Anthony Sinclair's shop was on Conduit Street, not Savile Row (both in Mayfair, admittedly, but hardly the same street). Also, the gun used by Bond in Dr No, though referred to as a PPK, is actually the PP model. Finally, Madras tends to be patterned cloth reserved for summer shirts- I'm pretty sure most of Connery's Bond's formal Turnbull and Asser shirts were made of poplin.
I do Believe James Bond should never be seen in anything less then a top shelf Suit. Roger Moore's suit is the way He should always been seen, well dressed
True Stars of film.....
The suits that Anthony Sinclair designed for Sean Connery in Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball were well tailored but more conservative than those made by Doug Hayward for Roger Moore; Moore was a more flamboyant dresser. Pierce Brosnan was wearing custom suits made by Brioni that fit him very well. Craig is wearing form fitted Tom Ford suits with less emphasis on the clothes in his Bond films.
This is the first time i've seen sunglasses on señor Roger Moore. A different persona for him
I have always thought what does "Egyption builders" joke mean ?? So the Egyptians were so lousy builders, therefore their work collapses easily (which is of course untrue) ? Or, is it like "Thank you Egyption builders for saving me out of that big guy" ?
It's a joke about foreign builders, most English people regard foreigners as inferior builders, but it's also making fun of that prejudice because of course the pyramids have stood for thousands of years.
Thanks a lot :)
I would also say it’s meant to be ironic because clearly some Egyptian buildings like the Pyramids have stood the test of time. So it’s a nonsense joke playing the opposite. It’s like saying Shakespeare was not much of a writer or playwright.

Nice.
It seems like every movie Roger Moore was in that he wanted to play 007.
Absolutely! No argument there.
SAVILE ROW!
Hard to believe Roger and Michael are younger then Biden yet still more articulate and coherent
Why is Moore wearing sunglasses?
It looks like he might have been recovering from cataract surgery. Even LED lights would be potentially damaging and painful if he had recently had eye surgery.
@@barrywonderdog IIRC Sir Roger had a few eye problems in later life which is why he was often seen wearing blue-tinted spectacles.
10:31 lol~~
What's the song at the very end, sang partly in Italian? Thanks.
'On Days Like These' by Matt Monro, played at the opening of The Italian Job starring Michael Caine (written by Quincy Jones). Classic track!
@@MarkmanOTW Indeed a beautiful song! And a good therapy to listen! Especially in this day and age!
Great song, and one of my all-time favourite opening scenes of a movie! Monro also famously sang the Bond theme for From Russia With Love (the instrumental version was used for the title credits, though if memory serves a snippet of Monro's vocals can be heard on the radio in the scene where Bond is relaxing by the river with Sylvia Tench).
When was this filmed and is there any more of it?
at 9.25 The History of Hollywood was made
Pongan en castellano por favor. Estamos en Argentina!!
good
does anyone have the whole documentary or video please

Ipcress...❤
Wrong! His suits in Dr No are top of the line! Savile Row!
No, they came from Conduit Street, not from Savile Row.
@@gerrymarko5893 You may be right! - In “From Russia with Love” his suits came from Savile Row.
@@QuantumOfSolace1 Anthony Sinclair of Conduit Street was Connery's Tailor for the suits of FRWL.
Sorry , no Savile Row.
@Gerry Marko very true! One of three mistakes made by the Dr No commercial featured here
What is that song at the end? Sounds like Frank Sinatra.
Matt Monro, On Days Like These
Money doesn't buy taste
Shorten the sleeves, they looked like French cuffs to me. :)
10:41...Michael Caine would have to smarten himself up if he wanted to play James Bond. Roger Moore is showing him up and giving him a lesson on how to dress with style.
5:10 - RM looks a lot like Jack Nicholson.
May not have been James Bond quality but an amazing actor....
Were Moore and Caine not good friend s- they seemed a bit uncomfortable round each other.
Not sure what gives you that idea- as far as I know they were very close friends
@@oliverholmes-gunning5372 Good to know hate to think of Sir Roger not getting on with anyone. - he was so gentle, sweet and humble.
@@writeract2 he certainly was
@writeract2 They were really great friends. Roger Moore in particular just seemed to be friends with everyone; all the A-list celebrities, and yet could show incredible kindness to complete strangers, as well as his incredible work for Unicef and Peta. Class personified.
Im surprised Cain wasnt Bond, he woulve been perfect.
Can't see it myself, he was far better as the everyman-type character. Hence his casting as anti-James Bond Harry Palmer in The Ipcress File.
Shoulders too small, funny walk, bland looks!!
Michael Caine would have made a great james bond...until he opened his mouth! He was much more believeable as the agent in, damn, I forget the name, but it was a pretty good secret agent movie, but he wasn't james bond in it. He would have said "Bond.....James Bond" and the villain would have replied "what did you say?"
James Bond is irresistable to women .I think many would find Miichael Caine quite resistable!
Harry Palmer in the Ipcress Files I think
Caine can actually do a very good British upper class accent - check out how he speaks when he plays the army officer in 'Zulu'.
Good point, on Zulu he was spot on. On Alfie he was pretty 'irresistable to women', that was kind of the point of the movie. Certainly when you stand him next to Roger Moore or George Lazenby, even Sean Connery, its not like there isn't a big suspension of disbelief at work in any of them.
The Ipcress File was great, but the very best was a television series called Callan starring Edward Woodward. Now that was gritty.
Pierce Brosnan was my favourite Bond but I think Daniel Craig is the best fighter so far.
Ugly, common and scrawny? What, have you been looking in the mirror?
