Parkinson was such a good interviewer, see how he doesn't speak too much, he just points people in a certain direction in a few words and lets them run with it.
Amazing Alfie - Jude Law in my eyes couldn't live up to this great
I could listen to his anecdotes all day. A National Treasure.
To bring this back on track. Parkinson really brought out the best in his guests. A wonderful interviewer. Micky C is a G! :-)... as the youngster say...
"Larry...that Atom Bomb is dynamite!" Sick.....but funny as HELL!
The early movies - Ipcress, Funeral in Berlin - still worth a look for what passed as "action" but at least there was some kind of a plot.
"Larry, that atom bomb is dynamite." Joe Mankiewicz does a rewrite for Goldwyn and Goldwyn says: "Joe, it's great .The script now has warmth and charmth."
Sir Michael Caine is one of the greats, bar nuthin!
2:22 Did Michael Caine just Rick Roll us?
@11october1893 Before Brando actors acted, after Brando they behaved. That is astonishing (impact that he had on almost anyone who came after him.) I enjoy these discussions with you, you are well informed and most likely no a helluva lot more than I. Thanks.
Michael cain brilliant
Where is the full interview???
i love michael caine.
I love Michael Caine, he tells it how it is
RIP from Canada
he was a great man, rest in pieces
What a nice guy.
@11october1893 Well let me say that i did not mean to offend you. However, when you watch Finney(Sat night Sun Morn) Richard Harris(This Sporting Life) Burton(A look back in anger) You see Brando. You understand that the "Kitchen Sink" dramas or the angry young man dramas were taken directly from Brando and Kazan. Brando was the impetus for all of the young British actors of the late 50s,60s. In terms of Shakespeare, certainly Gielgud,Olivier, or even John Barrymore had more influence.
@11october1893 FYI Paul Scofield was a superb actor, brilliant!!!!!
That was a fantastic impression of noel coward =)
@TheBrautigans He started on BBC then when the BBC won the rights to show Premiership highlights on Match of the Day he moved over to ITV.
oooh look at me! I'm a scawy troll! I'm on youtube messing up you're michael cain interviews!
Goldwynism.... He was shown around a stately home in England and came across a sundial in the middle of the garden. He had no idea what it was and his host explained what it was and how it could tell the time from the shadow cast on the dial. Goldwyn rubbed his chin and said "WOW, what will they think of next"
WHAT A GREAT LDEA. WASVUP, WHIRL CLUTTERED #
How?
@11october1893 I apologize for misspelling several names and titles.
I don't know about Michael Cain, as you say, but MICHAEL CAINE is definitely still alive.
@NJRocks281 Michael Caine is my favorite actor...English or American.
@11october1893 Thanks, but I really do not know that much. Living in or near London must have been great. your fortunate, London is a great city. These are all wonderful actors. Actors who decide to work on the stage are not in it for the money. Olivier loved his profession. Where as with Brando, I believe(its just a theory that I happen to agree with) he resented the whole Broadway, Hollywood culture. Why? I don't have the slightest clue.
@11october1893 You want me to tell you how I know that Marlon's impact was greater than Olivier's? Because these actors(Hopkins,Harris,Caine,Bates,Finney) said so, that's why. Without question , Sir Larry nurtured, supported, and directed most of these young British contemporaries of Marlon. ( FYI, Marlon acted Sir John off the screen in Julius Cesar) With contemporary behaving(because great actors do not act, they behave) in front of a camera(not stage) Marlon changed "Film" acting!!!!!!!.
@liverpoolmatt87 not many people know that apparantly LOL
@MrCommentz I'd love to see a Yank version of Zulu. " Eat bayonet, muthafuckerrrrrrs ! "
@11october1893 Oh, no, no I am in no way diminishing Olivier's impact on the stage. In no way shape or form!!!!! You were lucky to see him. I've only heard from word of mouth from those who saw Streetcar when it opened at the Ethyl Barrymore Theater in 1947. They never saw anything like it before or since. You know John Houseman saw a classical actor in Brando when he casted him in Julius Caesar. I think Scofield was originally casted, but Brando's screen tests were so good.
@11october1893 Of course, we love Olivier, Bobby De Niro, Duvall, Pacino have acknowledged how much they love Olivier, me too. Brando did not pursue the stage the same way Oliver did. I only say this about Brando, because I believe that he was the supreme genius. The best, period!!!!! Brando could have easily have brought Shakespeare to another level in New York City. He did it with Tennessee Williams, he most likely would have changed Shakespeare in America.
I am willing to bet that Michael Caine,Anthony Hopkins,Alan Bates, Richard Harris, Albert Finney, loved Brando, or Brando meant more to them than Olivier did. Because Brando was contemporary, and he revolutionized acting. Before Brando actors acted, after Brando, they behaved,and reacted, and being in the moment. Moment to moment. Brando's range was greater than Olivier's. D.Platt
@11october1893 See the fact is this, you guys(British) produce Shakespeare better than we do. ( Certainly Orson Welles, The great Barrymore) were some of the exceptions. But as a rule, The British are far better than we are. I thought Kenneth Branagh did a wonderful job of preserving the tradition that Olivier had revived in the 40s,50s and 60s(on film) If Brando decided to pursue the stage the same way Olivier did, he would have easily surpassed him. I say this because of his great genius.
genius
@11october1893 Well the problem was that Brando wasted his talent. Olivier played all the parts because he was more disciplined. I think Brando had tremendous resentment towards the Film bus. Brando's impact in the theatre was huge. Streetcar (1947) ushered in a whole new era of behaving for a generation of young aspiring actors. Almost anybody who was there at the time that Streetcar opened on Broadway as well as the film in 51 were godsmacked by this guy. On the Waterfront as well in 1954.
@JeanneRousseau wot do u mean was he still is
He's great but what a name dropper ha ha...
@11october1893 of course they understudied with Olivier, they were in England. Olivier was a great architect. He directed, produced,starred and interpreted Shakespeare with supreme brilliance. He almost single handedly revived Shakespeare in the 20th Cent. Marlon was more gifted, and had greater range as an actor. Olivier is the definitive actor, because he wanted to be. Marlon for whatever troubling reason, chose not to. Brando was the supreme genius, and he wasted his genius.
@11october1893 Marlon's range was better than that of Sir Larry. Never, never underestimate Marlon's impact on "Film" acting. Almost any Actor since "A Streetcar Named Desire" 51, will tell you who changed acting. Marlon's influence was felt all over the world, when he (and Clift, Dean, The actor's studio, Stella Adler, Kazan) stopped trying to act like the Europeans, and created a style that was unique. May'be you don't know the difference between behaving and acting,
HE'S NOT DEAD!!
I cant believe hes dead. RIP.
@11october1893 I never said that Sir Larry was not a great Actor, or that he did not influence other's. He most likely influenced Marlon, as of matter of fact, Marlon admired Larry. How do I know this, because Marlon said so. Sir Larry himself said that Marlon was the best he ever saw, but what does Sir Larry,Marlon know about Acting.or behaving anyway. I just happen to agree with Sir Larry and Nicholson,Mfune,Bette Davis, Pacino,De niro, Stieger, Malden Clift, Duvall, Hopkins, Finney, Caine.
@11october1893 Well, I heard them say who they believed the greatest actor was or is. Brando's influence was greater!!! He was contemporary. For the first time, American actors stopped trying to act like the Shakespearian actors, and created a style that was unique. You have Stanislovsky(spell corr?) or Shakespeare. I am in no way saying that one is better than the other. I am saying that the New York based style is more contemporary.
it is not a name. it is a username. there is a difference.
@Iqlurk in pieces? really? he's not even dead
mike is alive and is my next door neighbour hes a gent
Olivier WAS a film actor, he was in over 70 movies.
"Thatfatguyeatingapie" did Sir Michael Caine's (who is still alive) post-mortem, and decided to post this 'fact' on KZread with truly awful grammar, spelling and punctuation. Seems legit.
@11october1893 The shame is that Brando wasted his talent. Olivier, I believe made the most of his talents. Marlon Brando was a very troubled Human being or at least thats the impression I get from other actors. Obviously, I know nothing about Brando personally,not a thing(other than his public persona). Olivier's public persona was much more grounded than Brando's. Did you see Olivier in London? your lucky, I live in Chicago and Chicago in no way even comes close to London or New York.
Michael Caines is probably dead but Michael CAIN is very much alive!
As an American...I gotta agree! The writers in this country have gotten incredibly lazy. I don't watch any of the remakes out of principle.
hes funny as hell! unusual because he is not a comedian by profession..a serious actor ! Billy Connolly can learn a lot how to be fu nny without being vulgar and foul mouthed.
I apologise for capitalising a name. My bad.
well you got it half right; you are a troll, but you are by no stretch of the imagination scary. Yes, that's right, 'scary' is spelled with an 'r'. lol I just corrected Grammar Guy.
r
@hmmhowstrange Not at all. He's like the Michael Dorn of brits. I'm a man and I find him strangely... drawing. Charming, maybe even attractive. NO HOMO
🔥🔥🔥 Just because someone’s wandering doesn’t mean he’s lost. 1:53 💚❤ 👇👇🔥
"yes she's very tall, good thing she's a communist, gives her lots of opportunity to sit down"
Who would've thought you could make a funny joke about Hiroshima?
all the usa remakes are utter crap compared to the originals..its just about money and no ideas SO lets make a remake..of alfie,the italian job,etc,etc
it doesnt say anywhere that people who do post mortems have to have good grammar. anyways, it was a joke. get a sense of humour. and on the subject of awful grammar, the 'that' in 'thatfatguyeatingapie' is spelled with a lower case t; you spelled it, incorrectly, with a capital. hypocrite.
Don't get me wrong, I rate Michael Caine but, in this interview, he comes across really full of himself. Great Noel Coward though.
