Default Bryan Forbes Agrees To Answer Questions.
Here is a duplicate of posting I have recently made about Bryan Forbes in a thread in the Forum 'Directors and Film Crew'. I thought some of you may have missed it, this being the most popular forum:-


I am occasionally in correspondence with Bryan Forbes.

I note the members' interest in his career, and have just asked him if he would be prepared to answer members' questions on his film career. Here is his (as always) humourous reply. Moderators: I trust you will accept the non censorship?

Dear *****, I wonder if any of your group have looked at the BAFTA web site which has been running a film about my career because Last year they honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Of course i would be willing to answer direct questions as long as they are not too onerous. I remember when I was a prison visitor many years ago and gave a lecture of some pith and moment(or so I believed) about the film industry and then asked for questions. A hand went up immediately, and the question was "Is Lana Turner a good fuck?" I saw then that my erudition had fallen on stony ground. Regards Bryan Forbes

So, if anyone would like to ask him a question, please contact me by PM or on this thread. Don't forget...'not too onerous'. Hope to put the questions to him in about a week.

Slightly OT but I have to go with DB7 on this one. On the other hand he doesn't hold a candle to Cary Grant. Also ouch on Love Actually! While we're on Hugh Grant - I loved him when he said:
Interviewer: You said once you don't watch a lot of TV.
HG: Well that's a bit of a poserish answer, isn't it? The truth is I've been addicted to television my entire life.

Most depressing British film I think is .... Not sure I could give a definative "most" but The Elephant Man is up there.

The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael was one for the gloomsters.

I am cheating here because it is a TV mini series but for gloom, gloom and yet more gloom, you really can't beat Jude The Obscure.

The movie Jude was pretty dire but unfortunately ended on a note of hope
