I've read John Coldstream's "Dirk Bogarde: The Authorized Biography"--is that what you read? It is very good, balanced, scholarly, etc. If you're interested in Bogarde enough to read 600 pages about him, get it. Nice photos too.

I have a biography of Dirk which I have just started reading. Very interesting. I read some time ago that Judy Garland wanted him to be a guardian of her children after working with him. I think he declined. She was drawn to gay men as her father was gay according to her biography.

THIS is where Bogarde takes advice from the cameraman! I have been looking in the interview that comes with all DVDs of "Victim" (1961). he must have learned something from that cameraman, because he was just dandy in "Tale of Two Cities," though of course not as good as "Victim," (1961)
"So Long at the Fair," (1950), "Hunted" (1952 or 3) and "The Spanish Gardner" (1956) were also very good. Less demanding than later ones.
I was beginning to think I was hallucinating (don't answer that!).

"So Long at the Fair with Jean Simmons was a favorite movie of mine. He was my favorite actor no matter his sexual preferences.
-
Interesting for Gareth Forwood is the one who pointedly paints Dirk Bogarde as being heterosexual. This in the the light that it was his father, who was Bogarde's lover for many years.

"i don't like queers, alright?"
nobody cares.
-
I dont get that because someone claimed to have been 'in love with several women' everyone seems to accept that he couldnt *possibly* be gay!
Maybe they just don't accept that he was gay - the same way Bogarde never seems to have accepted it
I think he was in the closet all his life because he hated being gay rather than to protect his career
