Extraordinary man and an extraordinary actor. Thank you for keeping his memory alive.

He was...soo....handsome...and nice voice...

He was an Allrounder genius 🥰

1921-2021....this year Mark's his centenary!

quite a beautiful man. charismatic he had the lot. thanx so much 4 this wonderful upload I adore dirk Bogarde.

I  just love this actor, very much so. He was charming and very handsome.  I admire him as a great actor.  All that fuss  and nonsense about his private life , after having  read  about him and seen many  t v. programs and  documentaries ( including the Arena's wonderful The Private Dirk Bogarde ) interviews and the lot,  I do think is because  he was a homosexual and  that, regretfuly , still arises a lot of  morbid  interest towards his private persona. He wouldn' admit it openly in public for  quite obvious reasons, and he was in his right to do so. His and his parter's long love relationship was extraordinarily beautiful.

An extremely well done documentary, Magnetic Vision. Thank You. 👌

Wonderful. I've seen some of these movies, need to see them again plus the ones I haven't.

Thank you from me also. I fell in love with him at age 9, that’s 66 years ago. I still listen to his audiobooks narrated by him when I want perfect company, but I cannot understand why his nephew, Brock, who inherited his estate can’t see the commercial wisdom in contracting narrators to produce his entire book collection. Many of my age group would be willing customers.

As a young man, I did receive some attention from men who were not heterosexual — which at first left me rather uneasy, until I realised that my own sensitive persona, for those times, was simply inconceivable.

Bogarde's superb artistry helped society become less insecure about sex — which should never define anyone, just as we don't feel the need to ponder the intimate relationships of heterosexuals. He was admirably able to entertain, to dismantle prejudice that stemmed from insecurity, and to maintain his rightful dignity throughout.

I should add that the most interesting men I've conversed with have been gay — but I hope these categories come to an end. Human relations remain human. The real problems of humanity are the same as ever: poverty, war, and loads and loads of unjustified suffering.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

Can you put up more discovering film please and thanks would be lovely 🥰

He could have been james bond

There is no conclusive evidence that he was gay - he quite possibly was, but nobody can say definitively.

Lovely guy but very complex.

Didn't The Night Porter take place in Vienna?

As expected, ”The High Bright Sun” (1965) was not mentioned, which is annoying as it happens to be my personal Bogarde favourite. I think it has never been acknowledged due to his part not being ”deep” enough i.e. it’s not a pretentious movie at all.

Has Discovering  Film done one on Marilyn Monroe? Anyone know? Thanks.
