I wish this interview had been much longer. I read Queenan’s second book back in the 90s. It was a hoot, especially the chapter about being Mickey Rourke for a day. I liked everything he said in this short interview.
I keep coming back to Dave Allen. What an exceptional man he was. May he rest in peace, having helped to make the world a better place. Thank you so much for this video.
It makes me laugh that the author of he's own books doesn't know when he wrote them. Casino Royale was written in 1952 and published in 1953 . You can forgive him for not remembering that he got married in 1952 and wrote the book to take he's mind of getting married..
‘The second film (From Russia with Love) is now in production…and should be as much of a success as the first (Dr No)...’ In fact, it was far more successful, garnering praise from critics, breaking box-office records and playing to packed houses nationwide. The most popular movie in Britain in 1963 it is generally considered one of the finest Bond films…
Fleming is holding a Ruger target .22 long rifle pistol , probably his , as he owned one , it is listed in his estate... He was an excellent shot and represented Sandhurst military academy in competitions against West Point...
0:27 I love how when she said he seems normal communicating his autistic quirks come out with the joke and laugh haha. It’s interesting noticing the little social differences in autistic people since I’ve recently been diagnosed. Imposter syndrome is really real.
People like Jean Seberg and Romain Gary live on their own terms but have a big psychological problem when their behavior deprives them of being a center of attention, of understanding, of not being liked or loved, or being accused of being something that their behavior portrayed them to be. Jean was a victim of her own making because she was unable to accept and deal with how her behavior could destroy her life. Gary was a novelist and it was so much more dramatic to say the article brought on miscarriage rather than the truth that her drug abuse did. When Gary himself killed himself sixteen months after Jean his suicide note said it had no relation to Seberg's suicide. Many consider this his novelist's admission in the form of a denial.
An actor of admirable range and sensitivity. A reliable mainstay of many productions whose work is captured for posterity (thank goodness) via the home entertainment industry. What a shame there is not more of this particular programme available for our enjoyment.
Isn't it lovely how going to Eton gets you into jobs anywhere you fancy... reads like Boris Johnson's easy ride. I notice he didn't mention that 'Mumma' rang her friend Churchill to get him a nice senior job in the Admiralty .... Another thing he got wrong... the honey he said JB had in his breakfast rotation doesn't seem to have even been sold. The little scarlet jam and marmalade are still available excusing the name change on the correct marmalade.
