LYRICS
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Remember turning on the the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go

Thank you for your kind thoughts for George... and I hope he is a peace where ever he is. He tried to cushion the blow of his actions as best he could he was a very thoughtfull person underneath and most that knew him well (and there were very few) were not surprised at what he did, never the less it hurt them badley and thats not what he was trying to achieve by his passing.
It was a tough job ... I had to watch a lot of george movies to find the right clips and a lot of reading and research. quite a few i did myself at home (the burning photo was one of them). Lots of people dont realsie he had been a boxer. An i feel the lyrics fit well into the last days of his life. He was so miserably unhappy at the end. It will be the 40th anniversay of his passing in a couple of days.
i agree we lost someone very special in George.
I am a without doubt an avid Sanders devotee and admirer. There was and never be another like him, he was unique. I do not have any information about Margarets side of the family, all I know is what ive found in the books and on the internet. I try to respect George's wishes for his privacy.
Great job ! a nice tribute to a fine actor!
Juliet said he would have done it anyway... he had talked about taking his own life if he ever became unable to look after himself. He didnt want to burden anyone with looking after him and he was terrified of becoming like his mother, who died with dementure.. We cannot start to feel the emmotional torture he must have gone through in those final hours. but one things for sure... he was a pro to then end!
Thank you for this lovely tribute to a remarkable man ....
The pain and anguish he was suffering in the made living too painful and he couldnt see it ever improving. I dont see how suicide can be deamed a crime as he took his own life and not someone elses. It was his choice and he didnt want to burden anyone with his declining physical health. But he was a wonderful person as well as an extremely good actor (although he probably wouldnt agree with me!!). The good thing is that he is still, very much loved.
Always thought of Mr. Sanders of some one of intellect and a suave presence. His words on screen gave one ignition to gain a better perspective of the English language. He always gave a performance of being droll and that of sophistication. When I am at a lost for words-I think about what he might say in a situation. He was part of the golden Hollywood and always will be. We miss your sophistication George and your intellectual humor. Your wit remains untouched.
"If you covered him with garbage, George Sanders would still have style." Quote from Ray Davies / The Kinks on Celluloid Heroes. Probably mentioned on this site already, but the song informed me about George who I was not aware of but had watched on TV many times. Good stuff all around.
This is fantastic! I was just thinking there was nothing biographical on George Sanders in this day and age, then I searched and found this. I have always loved George Sanders and wished I could have been there and tried to talk him out of this. Thanks so much for putting this together in such a touching way. Excellent song too, my eyes are full of tears.
superstrangevideo Thank you ...that's why I did...he was such an amazing character who led an amazing life. We think of Flynn as leading and adventurous life but George's up there with him. When I heard of Robin Williams death its smacks of the way George took his own life and for parallel reasons...I too wished I could have stopped him:(
Yes 100% with you on that dude! Thanks for replying. Any idea what George's beliefs were, concerning the afterlife and God? Just curious if you might have heard somewhere.
superstrangevideo He was very inquisitive of many things he read Fromm and Jung and I feel kept an open mind. His memoirs are now available in print and on kindle and are a great read it will give you an in site (if you look hard enough) into the great man himself.
wobble108 Hey thanks for that info. I read somewhere on the IMDB that he was quoted as saying he wanted to play God in a film or something, so I assumed he may have had such a belief.
superstrangevideo I think it was a part he said he'd like to play if somone asked him too, can you imagine that....If god was actually George sanders, im converted lol
congratulations on this clip, but i had to turn the music off.
love the video , i hope you dont mind but I've linked to it. Great job. George was a legend.
This was great, a job well done and fully appreciated.
thank you it took me nearly 12 months to make and a lot of time...worth it though if only one person learns something knew about him.
the way you have composed this show had definitely an impact on me, it was quite a meteorite hitting my conciseness , the soundtrack is so good , I am not a young scout anymore and yet I like this tune , thanks , by the way George loves this show very much
Well Gunther im no spring chicken either, the issue with the music is the heavy beat and i cant do anything about that, but i love this track and thought is fitted well to what i was trying to achieve, which was show people he led an incredible life and was a wonderful talented man despite his flaws. I didn't do a voice over as mine would not sound very good and lets face it how can i possible match Georges voice!!!
Your most welcome, he lives on in our hearts.
You did a great job with this, wobble108. Rest in Peace, Mr. Sanders. xo
Wonderful video ! Very funny at times but quite moving too; at the end, even though I knew the clips came from "Journey in Italia", I was like "No, George, don't do it !"
A WONDERFUL VIDEO! Thank you so much. Where did you find all these pics and clips???? Like his boxing stint and his final hours??? Very fascinating.
The Private Affairs of Bel Ami!!.......
He knew it was time to go and just went, without a lot of fuss and before he reached the stage when he had no say in the matter.
He gets my vote, not just for being a bl..dy good actor but for being a flawed but ultimately rather nice human being.
he went out in character, and yes your right he was flawed but arn't we all to some degree!!! and he WAS an awfully nice, old boy:)
What a beautiful job you did on this montage doc. Thank you. I always enjoyed Mr. Sanders, because he was such a wicked cad!
Nicely done. Thank you.
Nicely done. I knew about George Sanders to an extent, but I didn't know all that. Thanks for the great video montage.
Thank you, if you have learned more about George then I have achieve my objective with the video..
This was a good montage, I can see a lot of work was put into it.
Thanks, and thanks to Roberto Rossellini for doing Viagio or I wouldnt have been able to do George's finale! If only we could have stopped him?
Well done video. I enjoyed the music and the video very much. Thank you.
excellent!
I absolutely loved this! I am a new fan of Mr. Sanders. So this really made my day. Can you please list the clips you used? Thanks regardless :)
I cant im afraid i did this rather along time ago
Good show !
Awesome video!
Please retire and do some more videos! It is such a great way to share your admiration and introduce others to Mr. Sanders. Some simply know him as Shere Khan or Addison DeWitt and don’t realize how multi-faceted he was and your first video gives us so much. It leaves The Crew, and we are guessing others, wanting more.
Great video editing and information! Would've liked more relevant music to the time period though. Anyway thanks for making it so I could learn more about him quickly.
thanks. the issue with the sound track was I need something that would go the whole length of the video clips and also I thought would attract a younger audience. I always felt the lyrics very poignant. But I achieved my goal and that is that you now know more about this fascinated man.
Lots of reading and research. George was beyond saving im afraid, he had been to a psychiatrist shortly before going to spain. Infact i fully understand why he did it... what i dont understand is why his so called friends (and he didnt have many) stood by and watched him slowely crumble without even trying to help him. Zsa Zsa thought she was helping but only made matters worse. He was an amazing human being but like all of us ... he had his flaws and weaknesses.
There is such a lot to concider with George. The problem with this video was I only had 10mins (the running time of the music) to cover his entire life ... and death, hence some things had to be missed out and of course it depended on what films I had. I wanted to show to people what an incredibly tellented and diverse man he was, not what the studio system had manufactured. It has taken be very nearly a year to produce this 10 minute peice, ill need to retire if im to do any more LOL
wobble108 is absolutely right in all that she says. It is not up to us, and people like TheGingerellas, to decide if taking your own life is a crime. I believe in a loving and merciful God who considers everything before passing judgement. In my heart I know that God has forgiven George and that George's soul is with God and all those who loved George during his time on earth.
I like the music ... each his own. I had never heard of Deadmau5 & Kaskade. George Sanders is one of the most fascinating people of all time and steals "All About Eve" from the greatest scene thief of all time, Bette Davis.
Thanks Rick...George is certainly a most fascinating man and I agree with you on the scene stealing...especially when you can act Olivier off the screen (which he did in Rebecca). Apologies for the other comment from another poster.
Yes, I was refering to Benitas daughter, and no i have not spoken to her (although I do intend to write) I think its referenced in either Vanderbeets or Aherns book. As for CAD I uncover something new in it everytime i read it. There is a lot of the real George hidden in its pages, and thank god he wrote it.
Alas I think I know him well enough to say his boredom was just a screen.
very nice
I am VERY aware what a fine man Mr Sanders was thank you. I think your missing the point here... you can always turn the music off. The question is did you learn anything from the video that you might not have known before?
Had to keep pausing to be able to read the text, which flew by too fast. Other than that, an interesting look into the life of this great actor.
Your use of Mr. Sanders’ film clips and photographs to illustrate his life is a truly unique way to pay tribute to an extraordinarily unique man. George's Crew thanks you very much. The Crew certainly agrees that music was an innate part of Mr. Sanders’ soul; however, we missed not seeing any mention of Mr. Sanders’ passion for sailing. Perhaps in the future you will consider a series of videos devoted to this gifted man. There is so much more to explore.
I'm intrigued, would you mind telling me more about your venture?
Happy 105th birthday to George on July 3rd!
Would you tell me from which movie the clip you have at 5:53 was taken?
What is tragic is judging Mr. Sanders’ life and career by his final, painful act. Isn’t it possible to simply celebrate his talent and enjoy the wonderful films left to us?
The video is a great tribute. Thank you.
Dear Crew! Well thats one TV show id like to get my hands on. with regards to the CAD facade we have to look at the start of his movie career to the end and see where the studio groomed George into the CAD typecast and where George's influence is added and all the negatives emmerged for the studio. George chose to take the villain route as he thought his career would last longer. The Cad image is only part of his mask.
@wobble108
And your mention of the studio system has led to a debate among The Crew about the Cad façade. While we believe it was created in large part to help protect Mr. Sanders; what part, if any, did the studio system play in its creation?
@species1859
I have the sheet music to 'our love is now' Ive never heard it played yet (I need to find someone who can play the piano). I adore 'such is my love' its my favourite off the album. I have read 2 ZZ books and they both say virtually the same things. But I agree with you,about ZZ. I feel Benita and George were made for each other, 2 peas in a pod! She brought out the best in him and him her. She let him be himself without any interference or dramas (like ZZ).
@wobble108 and @species1859
Mr. Sanders did sing "Our Love Is Now" on television. To the best of our knowledge, the song was never recorded separately.
a classic.
love the sound.
Thanks for your suggestion. The entire video was set to the time, beat and lyrics (we do still remember him all these years later, and they also reflect (sadly) how he may have been feeling) of the music and best listened to with good headphones as the base is quite heavy. I did pass it by other Sanders admirers before uploading as my taste isnt everyones tast. The music is also embeded within the video itself. . I was intending to use one of his songs but the durations were very short .
i thought the music was beautiful and i was deeply touched by this excellently put together video. thank you!
3:57 give the guy a medal hahaha
thanks you, thats a lovely thing to say. i wish i could have done a commentary rather than sub titles. But it need someone with a voice like george and thats hard to find.
i love george so much if only i got to know him more than his career, any woman in the world would've done the same for him, he didn't deserve to die like that, ,he could have just went to a psychiatrist or something because suicide is not the solution to a problem. how did you obtain this info about him?
@wobble108
Yes, I commemorated his life by watching movies of his last night, looking at photos, and youtube today. I was species1859 but had to change to origin1860...
@species1859 Thanks you I have that book akso Ahern's and Cad, 2 copies of each.
have you nay suggestions how i might achive that?
He lived his life to the fullest, it's allright to end your life when all usefullness is over.
@junctiondoll
THE CLIP WAS FROM MR MOTOS LAST WARNING
@wobble108
Yes, by watching movies of his last night and youtube today. I was species1859 but had to change to origin1860
"Alas poor George I knew him well." I was going to offer a few anecdotes but overran my quota of characters. As he might have said, I grew bored.
My foots tappin'.
I want to hear his voice..not this song!
Music was perfect unless your over the hill…lol.
+Michael L (BIRDMAN) hey , I am speeding down the serpentines and I just can't get enough of this tune . I'll be shooting some video of my own soon and this music will go so well with Empire of The Sun , there is so much good food out there and I have no clue of its existence, the food is really cosmic , it is endless
Where did you get this totally innapropriate music from????????
yes i celebrated did you?
So sorry your philosophy is so twisted and sad.
