As a chat show guest, actor and author, David Niven, was a raffish raconteur who didn't take himself, or his abilities, too seriously. But, he was a better actor than he admitted to and a much braver man in war time than he ever publicly discussed. His type of Englishman doesn't exist today. Watching and listening to this, we are all of us poorer for that.

More the pity that this type of Englishman has disappeared to be replaced by lack of style everywhere. Many people however, in England were envious of this so called product of the class system. They have got their wish with the consequent vulgar facade of our society in almost every aspect-in other words there is very little inherent class exhibited in most areas of life. Yes, vastly more money around but very little true class.

Denis Norden writes about this interview in his autobiography. He mentions that before the filming David Niven met all the staff. The tea ladies, the best boy, the cleaners etc. Being a real pro he knew the importance of the people behind the scenes. Then filming stopped and the audience went home. Then David Niven went back behind the scenes and thanked everybody. Not only that, writes Norden, he had remembered all of their names and thanked them all personally. The ladies who dusted and cleaned loved him for it. What a guy. They don't make men like him any more.

Niven's two volumes of memoirs are very funny, in a way that sums up Niven himself. Hilarious, but never malicious or at anyone's expense. Any man who would abandon his Hollywood career instantly to go running round muddy fields dodging German shellfire, as David did, has my respect.

In his wonderful memoir, “Bring On the Empty Horses,” Niven recounts endless anecdotes about the Hollywood greats - always with humor and affection, never being mean spirited. Watching this interview, witnessing his charm and his encyclopedic knowledge not of just the stars but also the little people in the industry, it is easy to understand how Hollywood was won over by this young British actor.

David Niven, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Dirk Bogarde, John Le Mesurier...all a certain kind of English Gentleman. Growing up as a kid in the UK during the 70's these men all seemed so exotic. A different breed of man. Lovely talking voiced, impeccabley dressed always and over flowing with fascinating annecdotes.

PLEASE NOTE: At 5:44 there is a cut. I wondered what happened but he is suddenly talking about the movie African Queen. In the original screenplay, the lead was meant to be a cockney and it was to star Betty Davis and Niven. He obviously explains they cancelled it and years later Bogart was cast but could not do a Cockney accent and so they changed the character to a Canadian and of course it was a massive hit for Bogart. Just for those who wondered why he was talking about 'The Lost Horizon' and then Bogart without it making any sense.

My mother was infatuated with Errol and David as a schoolgirl. She and I would watch "Dawn Patrol" every time it was on the TV late show. I read in one of his books that he met "a man named Pope" during WW II. He had been shot down in WW I while wearing polka-dot pajamas, as was Niven's character (Scotty) in "The Dawn Patrol."

Niv is an excellent biography by Graham Lord (2003) revealing this wonderfully complex enigmatic Englishman whose many stories in his autobiographies were true, they just weren’t his own... A stepfather he loathed only for it to be revealed in fact he was his real biological father, a dark troubled second marriage, his WW2 service but the overview is balanced and a true insight into someone who stays with us still.

The weird thing is Norden was the lifetime writing partner, alongside Marty Feldman, of Fwank Muir whose character and appearance mighty have been a caricature of Niven’s cut glass manners. Dennis must be thinking, _”At last I’ve met the real thing!”_ I wish this interview hadn’t been cut between the points when Niv mentions the films he was in with Flynn and the story of nail biting. _The Dawn Patrol (1938)_ remains a mighty flick to this day.

Niven was simply too effete during his screen test and everyone present felt his performance was poor....Watch Niven look down as he claims he wasn't tested....you can see he KNOWS he's not telling the truth...
