years ago i saw the movie "libel" starring olivia dehavilland and dirk bogarde. this courtroom drama was filmed in 1959 by m.g.m. studios. i have been unable find any reference to this movie in the career of either olivia or dirk since. why has this movie been so secretive in the united states? is this movie available somewhere? i would like to see this film again but i cannot locate it anywhere. any suggestions? thanks. hammer

Hello, Hammer,

Dirk Bogarde stole the show in "Libel" for his superb performance as the barrister et al, not wanting to ruin the suspense for you. It is a highly regarded work by Sir Dirk, is often discussed by our members, and is included in his filmography at www.imdb.com, as well as biographies on him and in Sir Dirk's several best-selling autobiographies. It is oop, but copies often pop up at Ebay, so do watch there for one. I highly recommend it. Sir Sir deserved an Oscar for it, but the film won only for sound. The Academy can show incredible lack of taste at times.

If you enjoy Dirk Bogarde's performances, please do join us at the Dirk_Bogarde_Brigade, which I moderate. (The Bogarde Brigade is the list branch of The Dirk Bogarde page set up by "Alpheraz" mentioned in a post above.)

We are a cordial group of Bogarde fans who enjoy discussing his performances and books.

All the best,
