    Ah Peter Ustinov, how we still miss him; superb storyteller, great actor, incredible imitator, comedian and humorist and so on and so on. Thank God he made numerous movies so we can still enjoy him and besides we can also read his books.

    If this was indeed Peter's last interview, I'm glad that he got a standing ovation.
    He seemed quite touched by that. And he also seemed rather taken with the host of the show.
    No wonder, she's great.

    3sat is a german television transmitter of the two biggest german public tv programs ARD and ZDF with partners ORF (Austria) and SRF (Switzerland). This is the reason why the hosts in this interview speaks german with an austrian accent. The fourth person at the table, Jenny Jürgens, was born in Munich and her late father was the great singer Udo Jürgens, who was born in Klagenfurt/Austria, but I think he lived mostly of his adult life in Germany.

    • @dagmarkiontke

      Udo Jürgens arbeitete sicher die meiste Zeit in Deutschland. Er lebte auch zwischendurch mal in Deutschland, während des Krieges. Aber die meiste Zeit lebte er wohl in seiner Wahlheimat Zürich/Schweiz.

      You make a very arresting observation when you say that Sir Peter was 'an absolute product of Halcyon days' ; that is exactly it - such people were produced by that uniquely marvellous era in which they grew up, and in a way that can never be replicated. He was among the last of the great vintages - and there can never be the sunshine and shadow to grow his like again.

    I still regret not meeting Sir Peter when I was studying at Durham University. He visited my college, which is named after him, but I was not able to attend. Sir Peter is one of my heroes, not in the least for his language skills. Some may complain about not understanding this interview in German. Well, follow Sir Peter's example, learn German and other languages and genuinely become a world citizen.

    • @reggydegroot
      @reggydegroot 9 років тому +4

      Kit Bear I've never said you should denounce your nation. I'm Dutch and I'm proud to be Dutch and proud of my country. I also believe that you can only be a citizen of the world if you know where your home is and you're able to share your language and culture with others. Being a world citizen doesn't mean you should shed your national identity but that you're able to add to that, enrich it and add yours to others'. I enjoyed my time in Britain. I brought some British customs back to the Netherlands. I will always remain Dutch but that doesn't mean I can't add some Britishness to my Dutchness 😉
