The Richard Burton Interview on Parkinson (COMPLETE)

Michael Parkinson is only 39 in this video. Why did people look so much older back then 🤷🏻‍♂️

The final part of his Churchill speech literally sent shivers down my spine.

My goodness Burton smoked! Parkinson should not have allowed the smoking. I had to stop watching the interview cause of the incessant smoking. Such a shame

Well Burton can't do impersonations that's for sure. Bloody ridiculous, but he was a talented man nonetheless. Parkinson, a complete fraud of person.

Parkinson was a prat then,and especially now!!
The great Michael Parkinson, who by some fate conned his way onto our screens. How he became the great of interviews I'll never know,he's total rubbish at small talk,and his inferiority of his betters shows through.
How this fool,and it's dreadful wife took our screens hostage, will forever be praised as the great interviewer. B,s .

They filmed the interview at noon instead of the evening because Burton would be drunk by than. That’s why Parky was casually dressed and the audience was the canteen staff!

He is only 48/49 here looks so much older

I like him simply because my dads called Richard Burton 😂

Poor Richard, please read about what happened to him

Doctor or nurse is better

Why prayer these people

Waste over time

Just drunk old git

Looking for Under Milk Wood

World of Burton,
Thanks for providing this entertaining and insightful interview between Richard and Michael Parkinson. Perfect chemistry between interviewer and interviewee demonstrated.

Imagine being in poetry reading with dylan , buryon abd gillgood

Parky has woken up in charity shop cast offs. Like him and miss this show.
Burton seems reticent and shy.

Here from listening to the James song "Getting Away With It".

....judt watched another Aristo type actor "Ollie Reed" , this chap is the polar opposite, for me anyway .....to full of his "yes men" 😜...

Such a distinctive voice with a command of language.

One of Richards films was Ann ot the 1000 days ! i have watched it so many times but never get bored with it ! Amazing actor the very best . rip richard

Beautiful man inside and out. Could listen to him forever!

Wasn’t expecting the Ferry.

Brilliant Actor but a troubled soul towards end of his life

Richard Burton:
excellent voice, great stage presence, not so hot on film. He just wasn't a movie actor.
And maybe the competition was - shall we say - 'less aggressive' ? in those bygone days.

Forget alcohol; he’s smoking himself to death in front of our eyes.

Brad pitt and Angela were sometimes refered to Richard an Liz. That is very far from the truth their acting abilities dont't hold a candle to their talent.

There will never be another Richard Burton.
Cheers And Sweet Memories.

A SAD WASTE. He drank and smoked because he had no discipline, and couldn’t deny himself his hedonistic pleasures. He boasted about drinking two bottles of hard liquor a day, starting at midnight. What a fool. He also slept with lots of women, including wives of his friends, behind his friends backs. Stewart Grainger for instance who was his friend, and who’s wife Jean Simmons, Burton screwed in Grainger’s own house, while Grainger slept in the next room. Hence he was hated by both the British acting community and the Hollywood executives and producers, who’s wives he also screwed or tried to. Hence he was denied any Oscar. He lived entirely for himself and to satisfy his pleasures. He even slept with an underage school girl, and almost got caught. He didn’t give a damn about hurting all his wives by being a serial adulterer, and then lying to them to cover his arse. He was completely without morals. I used to love his acting when I was young, but now I detest people like him. Good riddance.

Why can't they show the whole show? Horrible editing!

I know he's a november scorpio,you can see,he's emotional, deep, aloof at times,sensitive intuitive , self-destructive at times. ❤

Could watch n listen all day great to see a real face n soul, shame about paying millions for stones

Honest

Interesting very

I'm surprised he even have a voice with all that smoking 😢

Incredible actor. Incredible. But I've never agreed with his famous quote "never trust a man who doesn't drink". That, to me, is an alcoholic trying to justify his alcoholism.

Not sure why this interview is making me want to cry. Possibly because actors like Richard Burton were so unique, his voice, his raw honesty, & that Parkinson has now past away also…..

That Lee Marvin impression was brilliant 🤣

He was fascinating to watch

His speaking voice is to die for and a fantastic actor with a wicked sense of humour. Broadsword calling Danny Boy.

Both with body language indicating they were retracting from each other.
Interesting to note how much footage was cut as Burton Lit and Finished a ciggie under a minute.

He died at only 58 - years after this talk. And he looks sixty. It must've been awful by the end.

RIP.

Wasn't life great then you could smoke .Amazing difficult awkward man but listen to that voice.

Boring

I sort of liked him but coudnt understand why??he was rated so highly?

Amazing interview!

Great interview! Wonderful to learn more about Richard Burton. Very insightful questions.

First of all, so-called "Richard Burton" is not his real name. I think it's a disgrace and shows complete disrespect of one's heritage to change their birth name, unless when a woman gets married. If a woman gets married and DOESN'T change her last name, that shows no respect to her husband. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the name "Richard Walter Jenkins Jr"! The change was probably made as a result of pressure from a greedy Business Manager and or Studio, with respect to perceived anticipation of greater recognition and subsequent monetary gain?!

Mr Charisma. What an actor, what a voice.

RIP. Parkinson a great interviewer 😊listened & a great sense of humour 😊
