- Bob Hope's opening monologue at the 40th Academy Awards®, held on April 10, 1968 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Introduced by Gregory Peck with orchestra conducted by Elmer Bernstein. Featuring red carpet arrivals of Natalie Wood, Paul Newman, Audrey Hepburn, Sidney Poitier, Sonny and Cher, Shirley Jones, Jack Cassidy, Rosalind Russell, Raquel Welch, Greer Garson, Barbara Rush and more.
In 1963 my mother and I were just passing by on a bus and asked what all the spotlights were for and found out it was the awards. We got off the bus walked over and sat in the stands that you see next to the red carpet at the beginning of the video. No tickets. No super security. Gregory Peck and John Wayne walked right past us. Different times.
wow, that's nearly 60 years ago
Yeah, and what Gregory Peck was hoping that dignity and understanding will come, never happened.

Different times and better times

You are soooooo lucky!!!!❤❤
Gregory Peck - a great actor and a man with class.
pobocze IKR? He IS Atticus Finch.
Yes.
The Omen. An incredible believeable performance. Seriously talented...
@jett woodward Be grateful she wasn't your nanny.
Forgot about her. Brilliant character.
Must watch it again. You too 🥺
Gregory was such a looker and a true gent.
Gregory Peck, a class act.
Gregory Peck was such a masculine and great gentleman... I'm a 26 year old man, and I admire his tact, oratory skills and calm demeanor.

Gregory Peck was such a stunner, and a very, very good actor. He just seemed so decent in most of his films - though he could surprise you occasionally by playing a scary bad guy. Also a big civil rights supporter. His daughter is a fine filmmaker herself. I really miss Mr. Peck - such a lovely American!
Gregory Peck was awesome. Glad they honored Dr. King!

GROGORY PECK the man who played Lincoln , and who once said (paraphrasing)of 'Pulp Fiction' "a case exists for it being excessive, but it's impressive filmaking".
and BONNIE & CLYDE rung in the type of violence making 'Pulp Fiction' eventually sucessful.
Didn’t they postpone these awards a day or so bcz of Dr. King’s assassination? 8:24
Wow, this was the real deal! Empty seats & fashion not a big deal. Gregory Peck a STUNNER!
...and that was the year Gregory Peck won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award!!! God bless those times, the legends and the movies......
Gregory Peck.....what a Gentleman he was!
Only six days after Martin Luther King, Jr., was taken from the world.
A very apt and moving salute to one of the most phenomenal human beings to have ever graced this world, and bless us all with his wisdom and understanding of the human condition.
Very nice that Mr. Peck pay tribute to Dr. King!!!! Such a classy and respectful man!!!!
m'mmm pity King was a moral hypocrit though. It was said, that he spent a lot of time with prostitutes, maybe the FBI said it.
Gregory Peck is amazing
Wow, you would never hear any of these words today. Such a class and charismatic man and actor … Gregory Peck! Loved his movie “To Kill A Mockingbird”. These artists had hearts. We don’t see this at all anymore. It is only people that try to drive us a part with hatred. There is no humor anymore that really makes us belly laugh. The people today are not artists they are cruel and hateful. Loved watching this … missed these days.
Disagree in part. “Moonlight” is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. No white people - but no racism either. “12 Tears a Slave” was a redemptive film, and it showed that white people helped some slaves. I have seen several rather ‘clean” films like “Napoleon Dynamite” that have made me howl with laughter. But yeah, there’s too much unnecessary violence, profanity and sex in most of today’s films. A shame.
you are insane if you don't recognize that this happened During the Vietnam War & multiple political murders MLK & RFK along with anti war movement rolling across the nation. Hollywood was cheerleading pro war completely out of touch with current affairs.
I love Gregory Peck
Great actor & orator ! Gregory Peck RIP.
My father was born in 1928 just like the academy awards. I was born in 1968 so this video is especially meaningful for me.
Thank you Atticus
Yup, he played himself!
Mr Peck was amazing！
Gregory Peck ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🕊🕊🕊
Bob Hope's monolog is great!!
Gregory Peck. What a class act he was.
His voice 😍
Class, dignity, decorum, respect. Far cry from the Academy Awards of today.
True starting at the 90's and back the academy awards were poppin I still watch the show but it's not like these days
+senorkaboom Amen to that...today there is mostly garbage
I stop watching after the 2000. The best years are between 1960-1980. Afterwards it became nonsense and boring.
the clothes..the fashions...i wished that i was there
02:08 I love how the orchestra plays the theme of ''To Kill a Mockingbird'' when Gregory enters on the stage. And that year was the year of ''The Graduate''! 13:04 I love Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman in this movie!
I recognized that theme too with just a few notes. Iconic!
Elmer Bernstein conducted the Academy Orchestra that year. You can tell that it's him because he conducts with his left-hand.
@@Kinopanorama1 Smart!
Golly, things sure have changed. I can't deal with how this era of actors just drip with class.
love the comments of Charlton heston a few years before the film Earthquake!!!
Without any swearwords Bob Hope was pretty sarcastic, frank and entertaining. He was roasting the Oscars and the actors the films and everything and he did it well.
Does he say “Dustin Hupman” instead of “Hoffman?”
Peck was a good actor and an even better man,
I'm here for Anne Bancroft❣ i really need more videos of Annie in Oscars 1968!
Elmer Bernstein's the conductor! So many great works, "To Kill A Mockingbird", "The Magnificent Seven", "Hawaii", and one of my favorites "Far From Heaven".
He also did the music for "Animal House". Go figure
The Black Cauldron is one of my favorites.
And 'The Grifters'. To me, his most evolved work.
Well no wonder he knew to play the Mockingbird theme when Greg Peck appeared!
it is strange a bit to realise they were real, living people. golden era.
Purtroppo c e un imbarbarimento generale, un degrado totale, maleducazione, violenza..e molto triste ma e così..basta vedere i bambini già a sue anni col cellulare in mano ..poi tutti connessi...non c e più la creatività nei giochi...ui genitori non hanno più la loro funzione educativa. ..non pensano più...certo qualche eccezione c e ma ...i nostri politici già da decenni hanno dato un cattivo esempio..basta ricordare come canzonavano la senatrice Rita Levi Montalcini x la sua età, alludendo ai Pannoloni...de Gasperi, Togliatti, Berlinguer si saranno rivoltati belle tombe. .ormai se non si prende un rimedio ma deve essere un grosso rimedio, andremo sempre peggio. Mi dispiace tanto
I love this!!! Keep putting up more openings!!
So sad how Hollywood and this awards program has devolved. Totally sad and painful and pitiful what our world has become. I mourn every day.
Stars stars stars! Bob Hope had impeccable timing with his jokes and makes fun of himself and others without upsetting anyone.
If memory serves, this was the year in which Norman Jewison's film, "In The Heat Of The Night" won Best Picture over Nichols' "The Graduate" and Penn's "Bonnie And Clyde" and Rod Steiger won Best Actor for the aforesaid film, which he had deserved for The Pawnbroker three years earlier. This was also Sidney Poitier's most successful year as an actor, with commercial and critical successes in "Heat Of The Night"., "To Sir With Love", and "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner".
Mr. Poitier was such a beautiful, elegant man of rare talent. Such a class act!
Sidney should’ve gotten a nomination for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.
@@daysofneptune7542 agree
There was no one better than Gregory Peck to do the opening for the Oscars that year. The original date for the ceremony was changed because, due to Dr. King's assassination, a number of performers said that they would not be able to attend, as they would be going to his funeral. And I feel that Bob Hope's joke about the delay was completely tasteless and out of line. I've never understood his appeal, and not just because of this.
I do not see what was tasteless about it. All he said was it was delayed, but did not mention why. I think it would have been tasteless to make jokes had he mentioned King's name, but Hope didn't.
+senorkaboom Don't feed the trolls.
Gregory Peck so handsome
Imagine making a joke about how hard the delay was on the NOMINEES just a few days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.! Still, this was a transitional year for American films, what with Bonnie and Clyde and The Graduate among the nominees.
Bob Hope was a racist and not funny!
Gregory PEck...*swoon*
God gave him everything.
Hollywood was so much more classy and elegant back in the day.
They were more discreet.
No it was not. They were doing all kinds things on the down low. Very racist to the core. Go figure
L'uomo più bello del pianeta.
Bob Hope lived to be 100.
His wife, Delores, lived to be 105.
STARS!
No Kardashians thank god
@jett woodward They are over madeup,nipped and tucked wanna bes. I see better looking natueal talent down at the local beach in Sydney every day of the week.
@jett woodward Go to Lakemba in Sydney and you can see plenty of Doppelganger Habib Karjenners with their inflated lips and dripping with jewellery .
@jett woodward Look at Miranda Kerr and Elle McPherson they are much better.
The Kardashians was not even in the Academy Awards since they were born in the past! I think, they were kids and watch the Academy Awards on TV when they are young.
@jett woodward oh. Thanks for the heads up. 😮😀👍🏿
This was the last show at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. The Oscars moved to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for the next two decades.
That is when everyone had talent in music,acting,comedy,sports,writing,directing and eating Swansen frozen dinners.
...nothing like that Salisbury steak.
@@albertpeterson5585 Or her hot buttered muffin.
This is awesome!! Upload more openings!!
"The ABC Wednesday Night Movie will not be seen tonight but will return next week so that we can bring you the following ABC Special Presentation: The 40th Annual Academy Awards!"
He was a real strong MAN.
RFK would be gone within two months as well.. thank you for posting this.
exactly!!
That would be so exciting!!!
This is what you call the Acadamy Awards!!!!❤❤❤
My beautiful anne bancroft ❤
She was absolutely Stunning that night!
Anne will go down as one of the most underrated actresses of all-time. She absolutely nailed down Mrs Robinson s
character to perfection! Her work in the Miracle Worker was astonishing.
I do believe she was a very beautiful woman who did things her way and was able to show her versatility in the roles she performed.
Thank You God for Anna Maria Louisa Italiano ❤
The year my hubby was born! Wow!
More Opennings Please!!!!
Incredible! Very interesting. Gregory is wonderful. Great to see tAudrey there too!
The 1968 Oscars was postponed two days because of the assassination of MLK.
+newt nevesyt True!
A number of bald spot heads and no cell phones
Such simpler times
Beautiful thanks
Please post entire ceremonies!
Would never tell Gregory Peck to "stay classy". He would never for one minute depart from that grand status. You made motion pictures true to their art form
If I'm able to suggest you something, I'd like to request that you upload the concerts of the Best Song Oscars' nominees. The shows are always highlights. In special, I'd like so much to watch "The Look of Love" sung by Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 at the 40th Academy Awards in 1968.
Notice from the bumper at the beginning - "The Wednesday night movie won't be seen tonight." This year that the show was pre-empted by a few days because of MLK's assasination. The Oscars were traditionally Monday (I believe).
OMG what a great time!
Magnificent Raquel Welch is right!
GREAT!!
This is how a true classy academy awards should be and not the train wreck it has become with the politics and drama.
When Hollywood had class!
OMG ❤! That was awesome!
Gregory Peck: Unico.
12:04 three beauties: Julie Christie, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway.
A class act.
I am now 4 years older than Bob was then. Sigh....
Re: standing ovations. Today people stand for ANYTHING. Even at Broadway shows! Back then it really had to be something REALLY special.
4:25 Glen Berggren, the , those -wait, who?
xD Love to this cameraman!
Classy times unlike 2023
2025 It's Coming To Oscars From Best Picture
Gregory Peck welcomes Bob Hope to the stage. Little did they know that both would die one month apart in 2003.
Elmer Bernstein. did the soundtrack for Animal house
How times have changed--and not for the better. This dignified, elegant ceremony has turned into a circus.
It sounds like people are booing Doctor Dolittle (1967) at the beginning of this video when everyone is asked which best picture they're voting for.
This was the year that The Graduate and Bonnie And Clyde were in competition with In The Heat Of The Night and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner for Best Picture; I believe that the final nominee was Doctor Doolittle. Ultimately, In The Heat Of The Night won the Best Picture award and Rod Steiger won Best Actor for the same film.
My reply 3 years later.... Doctor Doolittle had NO business being one of the nominees! Cool Hand Luke should have been the fifth nominee, instead. And Bonnie and Clyde should have won Best Picture, over In the Heat of the Night.
Melting big time ! Oh Gregory crazy about you ,xx
I just realized a few things:
1) Oscars' shows were beautiful, even the background of the stage.
2) Bob Hope seemed to be the top choice for host.
3) There weren't really any standing ovation, why? Everyone were equally brilliant and deserving.
Ah, the good ol' days, when there was a touch or class, not to mention dignity, as epitomised by the elegant Mr Peck.
Bob Hope had a connection with the audience.
Bob Hope was a class act. No politics, no virtue-signaling, no wimping out on so-called "ethnic sensitivities." He was the real deal!!
Fantastic Bob Hope!!!, he will always live as one of the greatest of them all.
Well, BH was not aware he was a real jackass.
What year did the Academy Awards start taking place at the beautiful Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles?
1969
Hope gets such a dead look in his eyes after the punchline
Ma prima gli attori erano più belli e avevano più classe ,splendida voce
This was a frightening and fascinating time in US history; Vietnam was happening and the draft, a year away, was on everyone's mind.
PLEASE PLEASE UPLOAD the arrivals of the 1989 Oscars. I wanna see Cher walking down the carpet in all her glory!
I don't understand why Bob Hope is talking about Earthquake and Charlton Heston while in fact the movie came out only 6 years later .
There had been a small earthquake in the Los Angeles area.
Bob Hope’’s comment about Charlton Heston is a nod to Heston’s portrayal of Moses in “Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments.” (1956).
1968: the summer of love, the USA was in the midst of extreme social change with the hippie movement, the antiwar movement, the civil rights movement, the rise of feminism, and you can see this reflected in this crop of movies. The young turks are moving in with very different kinds of films like “Bonnie and Clyde” and “the graduate.” in the audience, you have the new, young stars like Dustin Hoffman, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Katherine Ross, and the established stars of the studio system, people, like Shirley Jones, Gregory, Peck, and even to an extent, mrs. Robinson, herself. I was too young to be able to go to the theater and see these movies, but I did see them. four years later it was “the Godfather” and I snuck into the theater to see that.😂
I love how Hope's theme music is "Thanks for the Memories," an Oscar winning song he performed :)
I could never find his gags funny, (despite having about 20 'writer's working for him ). Mostly I guess, because they were topical to the day and place.
