Burt Lancaster had one of the best voices ever, and was an absolutely awesome, progressive guy.

As this interview shows, Burt Lancaster was as impressive in real life as he was in his films...many thanks for uploading such a rare gem.

Burt was such an intelligent articulate human being, you can see why he would need to be in control of his destiny regards Hollywood and its control of so many actors , love his great body of work on the screen hes such a fascinating person to listen to

What an intelligent, articulate, interesting man, I loved his passion for life and really enjoyed his performance in The Swimmer.

Burt Lancaster was such a great actor. I loved his movies. Most all the greats are gone.

An actor I've loved all my life; for his beauty, intelligence and humanity.

What an interesting rare interview with Burt Lancaster who seemed to be enjoying talking to Russell Harty.

I love Burt Lancaster forever 💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🌸🌸🌸

One of if not the Greatest actor ever..Legendary. ❤

This man was my Fathers favorite actor.. In fact i was named after this man. I enjoy learning more and more about the man i was named after..

lol not a single actor on earth today to give this level of insight

One of my alltime favourite actors ever! What a brilliant man!

I love to listen to Mr Lancaster being interviewed, he is so well spoken and does not force his opinions on others, merely answers questions as honestly as he can. Todays actors seem to lack personality and the ability to converse well.

A very attractive man ,great actor too

I had the honor as a young actor of working with him later in his career in Tough Guys in a co star role Only as an older person when I was able to view his work did I realize how brilliant he was. His monologue in Judgement in Nuremburg is profound as well as so many other roles. . He was so kind to me during our breaks on set. He keeps inspiring me to do good work. Thanks Mr. LANCASTER. 😊

He was a serious artist! As far as I am concerned his role as Elmer Gantry has not been equaled anywhere, anytime.

What a legend. Burt Lancaster was a national treasure.

Burt’s look was ahead of it’s time so much so that he looks modern and better looking than the host who is 25 years younger!

I’m absolutely charmed by his grace, his deep intellect and has to be one of the finest actors to grace the stage of motion pictures. I’m glad that we can all be together to celebrate the golden age of Hollywood. I’ll be sure to ensure my children know the names of all the finest golden age films and actors. What a time to be an actor! Just to add Orson Welles as Edward Rochester in Jayne Eyre showcases another giant in the acting world phenomenal performance, Welles voice has to be the most powerful one surely in the golden age alongside Clark Gable

I’ve always loved Burt since the first film I saw him in. The teeth, the smile, the voice and the way he moved! He shares his birthday with me 🥰

I loved his acting in _Separate Tables._

One of Hollywoods' greatest actors and human. Love all of his movies. And to this day I haven't seen them all.

Mr Lancaster didn't do many television interviews so this is rare,a very strong intelligent man, interested Ng t hear him say he wasn't religious ,in a traditional way and yet he believed in a higher power, great talker, I think if you were to hold a conversation with him and keep up with him you would have to know your stuff, sham this was so short.great post.cah see why he and Kirk Douglas got on, both very similar.

Love Burt ! Everything that he stood for and the observation of life !!! ❤️

He was a great actror

I happened upon this by accident, but "mankind is a limited kind of animal" may be one of the greatest truisms about humanity I've heard.

Such a brilliant actor. Lovely to hear him discuss his craft with (of all people Russell Harty!)

Burt was one of the all time great actors! Love his films. This short interview shows he was a very intelligent man.

Great in John Frankenheimers "The Train ". Did all his own stunts. A glorious intelligent fantastic actor and man ..

Fantastic interview! please upload more of his interviews.

His last role as Doc 'Moonlight' Graham in ' Field of Dreams ' says it all about a real actor . Shone past Kevin Costner in his last scene. What a true Film Star. I still miss Kirk Douglas as well! The days of movie magic seem long gone.

Great actor from a by gone age

What a actor and gentleman he was one of the of the old time greats

I waited forever for a movie with John Wayne and Burt Lancaster; and another with Burt Lancaster and Robert Mitchum. God bless them!

pulsated with energy....

Excellent, impressive interview with Mr. Lancaster. He was one of a kind.

Burt Lancaster was an immensely talented actor in who had the innate ability to elevate a character he portrayed to a high degree of charm, pathos, sensitivity, and stark realism as well. His portrayals of the various people in every film he acted in was a true work of art and genuinely authentic performance of the craft of acting. A legend of screen and stage was what Burt Lancaster truly was.

Cool interview.

Burt had such eloquence and screen presence! Eminently watchable!😉

I had no idea he could speak with such eloquence the characters he plays never really show that side to him ,he tended to dumb them down ,I knew he was a very good actor but now because I saw this interview I know he was in fact a very great actor ,thankyou

Sweet smell of Success 👏👏👏

He could have been President of the US, and ironically in '7 days in May', he was trying to remove a President. He is obviously a sensible intellectual. His best movie was The Train. Fantastic. Without doubt one of the very finest actors.

Loved his acting.Intelligent man.

Love burt he eas handsome a great actor and a gentleman and proud he is part irish

One of my heroes when I was young great actor

One of the smartest actors.

God bless you Burt.You won't ever be forgotten.

He & Robert Mitchum were the best of their generation.

Never get tired of watching "The Train"

One of his best is 7 Days in May.

mr Lancaster is astonishing with his strong appeal.

What an intelligent man that left school early and became one of the great star of television my favourite

I just loved his acting. Just great.

Xcellent interview & gee Burt Lancaster was straight 2 the point & spot on in his views of mankind. What was this movie he is talking about . If anyone knows could u let me know... thx kindly Robert Australia

This interview was circa 1973.

Imagine a chat show today that was as engaging and insightful as these old ones. Of course if they were then the deliberate dumbing down of society would be that bit more difficult.

What presence. Guy was a mountain.

BL.. Comes across as a honest actor whom I liked unlike the actors of the 21st century... Tony cuenca

Is the full version available and is their anymore in depth interviews . I have not seen any till this which is brilliant. Thank you

From here to eternity- “ I was born smart ma’am” Best line of all time love you Burt

You can tell that Lancaster is comfortable with the interviewer. In the 60's Mike Wallace made a flippant remark and Lancaster got up and walked out. Wallace later said " I thought he was going to hit me "

gosh, hes always been a working man

One of my favourite actors terrific in Elmer gantry

Very interesting interview. Can you upload more of them?

Burt!

I can’t image a Hollywood star speaking so intelligent and having Ideas as such.

Russel Harty :-( BAD interviewer... Burt Was a LEGEND :-)

Pure Legend !

One of my favorite actors...

Burt landcater one of the old time greats what a actor and gentleman sad there will never another burt and all the old time greats pitty

My favourite film of his was The Train. That film showed his true ability without resorting to his circus skills.

Um ícone da indústria cinematográfica Americana 👏👏👏👏👏👏

أسطورة السينما العالميه بيرت لانكستر

Burt Lancaster was a role model in every since of the word

Burt Lancaster was a marvelous man! As a woman Oh how I would have loved to have had him as a lover! 💕

What an actor and a gentleman and so handsome and the fact he was from belfast so proud he wad

One of the greats of golden age of Hollywood rip

I think Burt would've made a wonderful Vincent Van Gogh character.

I just watched The Swimmer. It's a powerful film, although difficult to watch. Lancaster was fantastic in it.

One of a kind

What a absolute Legend he was! Phenomenal actor 🤩

Burt Lancaster was my best actor. #elmergantry

With the camera angle Burt looks like a giant compared to a much smaller Russell ...

Burt Lancaster was a versatile actor. He is known for serious roles, mostly positvie and rarelj negative as in Veracruz. His roles in 'From Here to Eternity' or 'Gunfight at the OK Coral'depict quite different style. Even in a comedy like 'Halleluja Trail he was unique. This interview reflects his depth and intellect.'

Burt, Is, was, God on earth,❤❤❤❤🙏❤️ rest his soul

THIS INTERVIEW 23.3.74

Esse ator envelheceu muito bem está ótimo!

LANCASTER...IS ART.

What a guy !! Very complex character . A deep thinker . Yes , he had character flaws but overall a giant of the acting profession.

Have you heard any contemporary Hollywood stars talk so intelligently?

Lancaster was a force of nature and, though he’s somewhat dismissed these days, he was quite a trailblazer. Never played it safe as an actor, always challenging himself to portray a variety of characters. The clearest diction of any actor, especially after Brando turned mumbling into an art form. Lancaster was also a great supporter of the civil rights movement, when others like John Wayne and Gary Cooper, among many others, were opposed to FDR’s and LBJ’s achievements. Even at the end, he would take small parts in quality films - Local Hero, Field of Dreams.

Burt was a child of the New York City’s streets. Growing up in Manhattan’s upper East Side section of Harlem. He was a lot more than Street wise. A bruiser of a man but eloquent. It seems that he didn’t take such good care of his health.

Lancaster was a very smart, tough guy, a mix of great aggressiveness and kindness and competitiveness and shyness. People don't realize it, but he was very much a contemporary of Brando's and lost several roles to him.

Birdman of Alcatraz two years after Elmer Gantry was 180 degrees from that film. Also The Train and Atlantic City 1981 late in his career was an awesome performance but Burt would lose out on winning another Oscar to Henry Fonda for On Golden Pond.

Ótimo ator maravilhoso

Hey Stroud there dropping like flys...birdman of Alcatraz

A true legend of cinéma.

One of the greatest actors ever.Im unfortunately in Florida no electricity so I can't watch a DVD of Burt's it's hell with no AC

He had one of the greatest laughs. Every time I hear it, it makes me laugh too.
