Dick Cavett Show Part 1/3 - Peter Falk / Cassavetes & Gazarra (1970)

[rjplamf61]

ahhh, when there were real men in the world. I loved these guys. Non pretentious, funny and real.

Alan Partridge used this clip as his training manual. He had a similar encounter with Scottish singer Shona McGough and her band, and clearly this clip gave him good advice on how to deal with the situation! I also love how the band on this join in with the circus music, really adds to the wild fun of it.

All dead except Cavett. Life is just not fair!

[cinephilia7]

This needs to stay online! It's such a great document to the time and these great creatives!

[SenorZorrozzz]

Live tv. You don't see this anymore!

[dharmashooter]

Boring.

[Barison]

Goddam, I love "The Dick Cavett show". "Those were the days", indeed!

[nebutron]

I'm mesmerized by the hovering boom mics...

[grandpavanderhof]

The voiceover on the Maytag commercial sounds like Mike Farrell of M*A*S*H

[kaneda83]

you are sorely missed Ben!

[kaneda83]

@kaneda83 and Pete!

[princely54]

Sure they were drunk, but more than anything they were essentially in character from the movie. They were all about acting as naturally as possible, and the characters were assholes.

Ben Gazzara die today, 23 years to the date his buddy John Cassavetes died. Feb 3, 1989. Great talent. May they rest in peace.

This was filmed the year before Peter Falk became world famous as Columbo in the original TV show 1971-78.

[TheTubePortal]

I'm all for improvisational art and value eccentricity, but this does not fall under those categories. These guys think they're being funny but they weren't. They were being very disrespectful to their host, disruptive and acted like drunk guys in college. If I were Dick Cavett in that situation I'd see to it that they never came back on without an apology.

@TheTubePortal

Don't be fooled. Such programs are usually prepared in advance. Not think it was spontaneous, but rather would force them to ride that "show".

Although if wouldn't it, I forgive them for being them xD. I like "Mikey and Nicky" and I love Peter Falk (also Cassavetes, but Peter more). R.I.P. two.

Sorry for my bad English.

[imaginativelads]

@TheTubePortal I agree,total ego-maniacs and none of them justified accept for Peter Falk.There is no electricity only loud,self indulgence,and Dick Cavett so patient.It's painful watching their strutting egos spoil what could have been a good interview.I wonder if they were stoned or coked up?I think it was booze and pot because coke would have made them a little more chatty at least.I love Falk so I'm a little more lenient with him. Nostalgia,unfortunately doesn't carry this beyond mediocre.

[brokenresearch]

@imaginativelads Mediocre? Like yr grammar? That's not a judgment, that's a statement of fact. There are rules to grammar. There are no rules to being an artist. Matthew 7.1: "Judge not lest ye be judged."

[imaginativelads]

@brokenresearch I don't really care what the the bible has to say, it's just a work of fiction. Further more, I am entitled to my opinion without some religious whacko excersizing his imaginary, and ultimately impotent authority over my opinions as an aesthete. The bible doesn't carry any weight with me bub, and judgement is left to man, not the invisible man who lives in the sky. I don't leave objectivity in the hands of a spooky, supernatural, mythical deity. I dare to judge, because I CAN.

[brokenresearch]

@imaginativelads My name isn't Bub. I assumed the bible is important bc yr grammar is so paltry in that post or maybe yr just a bad typist, or maybe yr a dog and dogs can't type bc of their paws. If you are a dog or a person that has sex in a dog costume then I half apologize. My bad. So, three artists who put up their own dough and refuse to shill? Yeah, mediocre. You're right. You win. You also make GOD sound like Voldemort from the Harry Potter books which I love! Church is gonna be awesome!

[imaginativelads]

@brokenresearch Ladies and gentleman, brokenresearch is an example of what happens when the fetus doesn't get enough oxygen. Good day to you sir. Oh, and yr is spelled your and bc is spelled because, now enough with the grammar critique, YOU'RE not qualified.

[brokenresearch]

@imaginativelads It's the product of fetal alcohol syndrome not oxygen deficiency, some doctor you are! Next yr going to tell me alcoholism isn't a disease and it's appropriate to dress up like yr shiba inu whilst doing the sex. It's OK to be a furry--no judgment here but be nice about it and don't project yr insecurities about it onto Ben Gazzara & Cassavettes! Btw, yr and bc are called diminutives. Diminutive means a shortened version. We use these on the 'net my furry friend.

[imaginativelads]

@brokenresearch Diminutive? Oh! you mean like your penis?

[TheTubePortal]

@filmnoiiir The sound only comes out of the right side - it's mono not stereo.

[KUTVgroucho]

They're in character, that's why this is so hilarious. Cavett is a master straight man.

[slowdream101]

I guess you had to be there

[Deavi783]

Oliver Reed should be there.

[tarantism]

this is one of the most inspiring things for me

[POPROX66]

I like how it has the vintage commercials!

[MsChamallow]

i'm sure they are drink a lot before the show ! so exciting actors

[maxabeles]

9:56 "no" priceless!

[TheElegantDandyFop]

They tragically removed this from YouTube a few months ago! Thank you for the re-upload! Pure gold!

[madtus]

This is very much like the film they're not talking about.

[pegcage]

I didn't know Peter always dressed like Columbo.

[hunterjohnson]

this is beautiful

[rolfh]

Thank you.

[boomerlady]

great suit Mr. Cavett. Really. I mean it. 

[freakingduffy]

Who says underwear has to be dull?

[Skatecareerheaven]

May God bless you for uploading this! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
