John Gielgud Interviewed in the 1960's

[dennman6]

At 1:14 Gielgud mentions working with Burton "last year" in "Hamlet". That was 1964, so this interview dates from 1965, when Gielgud was 61 years of age.

@92af What about Olivier?

[92af]

@Epeolatry1 no way, both John Gielgud and Judi Dench are better than Laurence Oliver.

@92af A lot of people would disagree. I find it hard to compare anyway, all three being so excellent.

[92af]

what year was that interview taken in?

@92af Unfortunately I don't Know the year of this interview, an educated guess would be around 1967-8.
