This is a very good documentary on a.most fascinating subject! I came to know Beaton through research on Stephen Tennant, another fascinating character/ mate of the early century. one captures or creates beaury the way Beaton did! Anything he touched (photographs, set design, dress designs) became magiclly enchanted and immediately recognized! I wish he had more joy and contentment in his pruvate life. Thanks for rhe beautt, RIP CB! Best wishes to all out rhere! ❤❤❤
Jeez I long for a time when we could just enjoy things. The man was a photographer, a really very good one. If his feet smelt I really don’t need to know that. I never thought he was a perfect example of a human being because no one is. In today’s world people seem to be looking for something, anything to decry. Maybe take a look at the photographs when you are there to protest, throw paint, tear down statues, scream at others and tell them what to think. Apologies. I tire of the modern world and its awful remarks. So I tend to get irritated. But then that’s my opinion. I don’t intend to adopt yours
it's hard to imagine that in 2004 anyone would still repeat the inane fiction that Beaton and Garbo were lovers. This was an absurd bit of fabrication Beaton splashed out a number of times in one of his hastily contrived books, to bolster his celebrity toward the end of his career . He took her passport photo, they ate a few meals together. And Beaton blew these embers into bonfires of salacious innuendo in every interview he gave for the rest of his life. She couldn't be bothered to refute him and probably was greatly amused. Take a good hard look at each of them. Does anyone really think these two were hot to leap under the covers together?
