Arena - The Private Dirk Bogarde Part One [6/6]

[TherapyFromStrangers]

this is a marvelous and insightful documentary - many thanks for uploading. Can anyone tell me exactly how many autobiographies Dirk wrote/released? I heard he was quite a prolific writer. What a talented man! He sounds like he would have been wonderful company to spend some time with :):) RIP Dirk <3

1:28 Mr. Bogarde... such a charismatic, charming, hot man...:D

I have not the slightest interest in actors' private lives: whether they shag boys, babes or bears! I am only interested in what they do on celluloid, or whatever it is nowadays.

I'm glad I've just finished Dirk's second autobiograph ("Snakes & Ladders"). It's grand to see here so much wonderful home movie footage of his family, friends, home, vacation spots & movie locations mentioned in the book! Especially the scenes filmed during his short late-50's Hollywood stay. This is best documentary I've seen in a LONG time; thanks for posting! :)

It escaped me the name of the person speaking at 7:57

(to the effect that Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra were offered Singer Not The Song, but the director wanted "These Two" Bogarde and John Mills)...? He doesn't look like the director, Roy Ward Baker.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful documentary!

That was Arnold Schulkes, who was Dirk's stand-in while he was at Rank studios

Thnks for sharing. It's great to see the internal life of one of the most refined actors we ever had.
