I dont want to remember Barbara Windsor in Eastenders although she showed her acting craft superbly but i want to remember Barabara Windsor as the bubbly vivacious effervescent London Queen of the Carry on comedy films.She was a lovely and entertaining actress and will be missed.
Hear hear!
A Very Talented Actress So Sad we have Lost her in 2020, Scott was a wonderful Husband after what she went thru with Ronnie and Stephen. Loved her in Sparrows Can't sing, wish i could hire that Movie today in 2021. Rest In Love Dame Barbara xx
It's immensely sad that Barbara has fallen ill when, in this interesting interview, she seemed so on top. The theme to the film _Sparrows Can't Sing_ is also on YT, a touching song from Lionel Bart (as she mentioned here). I recommend you seek it out to hear how beautifully Barbara carries the tune while interpreting the lyric with great feeling.
Murray was great in A Taste of Honey.
Such a shame that BFI isn't available in New Zealand. Murray and Barbara are a hoot together. I'd love to see the film. Thanks for this brilliant 50 minutes in the company of two wonderful actors.
Dear Murray, bless him
Murray melvin could be Kenneth Williams today his look and mannerisms reminded my of him so much :-)
Except he is much less funny ...
@@JohnGrayOnline Miaow!
Nice upload interesting to hear their angle on things Great cast Barbara looks great for a 78 year old :-)
R.I.P
I dont believe that Barbara is 78. Still all there and looking good. Respect to the lady Beautifull inside and out.
Murray Melvin was great with Rita Tushingham in the movie A Taste Of Honey. He was also in the film Alfie with Michael Caine. Barbara Windsor has sadly been diagnosed with Altsizors (excuse the spelling) disease.
With spelling like that I think you’ve got it too!😁😁
Brian Murphy would team up with yootha Joyce later and Stephen Lewis would team up with Bob grant
Interesting from Babs but why the continuous references to the Krays?They were convicted criminals who terrified the east end.
Because she was shagging them!
because it was their film who financed it.
She was good friends with them.
Having watched this film, I feel it could have been so much better if Joan had bothered about the craft of film making. Ken Loach manages to still respect the conventions of cinema.
