What's your favourite Robert Shaw movie?
Well, Jaws, of course.
So many, but The Sting & Figures in a Landscape have always been personal favourites. And yes, Jaws of course!
Black Sunday, fantastic movie
Jaws... and "A man for all seasons".
Jaws, with ....Pelham 123 in second place
I could hear him talk forever. It's too bad they don't have talk shows like this anymore
...There is no longer an audience for such intelligent, civilizing conversation, is there?
Robert Shaw lived a long while here in Ireland and died here ultimately. About 5 years ago, Richard Dreyfus was doing a Play in Dublin and appeared on the big TV talk show where he was introduced to Shaw's grandchildren in Ireland. After the difficulties between them working on Jaws, Dreyfus said it was so cathartic to meet his family and wept like a baby with them on the show, because he had never had the chance to resolve his differences with Shaw. It was quite a moment.
A clip from that show is on RUclips. Very moving.
I saw it. It was a lovely moment.
you've resolved all my ailments with your comment
Always loved Robert Shaw.
The greatest actor I have ever seen!
He became the character , without ever acting
He died on a Sunday afternoon,walking home from the pub.
I remember it as if it were yesterday.
So sad that he died so young.
He will be remembered long after we are all gone.
Not quite true. He lived in Ireland at the time; he was driving with his wife and one of his children in the car, felt unwell, thank God pulled over to the side of the road, got out, collapsed and died on the spot. It's in his Wikipedia page.
@@stevepayne5965 Nice way to go when the time comes.
Better than getting eaten by that shark.
Or the fight with James Bond.
I highly recommend the movie discussed here, ‘Young Winston’ (1972) which is on DailyMotion. All star cast, directed by Attenborough, big budget swashbuckler! And it’s based on Churchill’s book “My early life” so it’s historically accurate, unlike modern fictional crap.
The actor who plays Churchill (Simon Ward) looks and sounds exactly like him. It’s the best ever portrayal of Churchill, and it should have scooped the Oscars.
Thx, will do! Also, I really liked Winston’s book on the American Civil War.
I totally agree it is a great movie!
I have seen it a few times on Turner Classic. It is a great portrayal, especially the Commons speech at the end and how Loyd George was already trying to get him to switch parties. Had some young co-worker call him a filthy imperialist when his statue was under attack a couple years ago. I told him he was in the liberal party for almost 15 years. He didn't believe me and looked it up to his shock. Asked why he didn't know that and I said because his so-called educators failed him.
It's on RUclips now legally (in the States).
Not for the first time I'm impressed by the extent to which actors and actresses of Shaw's generation could express themselves so eloquently...... without a script.
What a marvelous voice. He projects so well from the chest, great timbre!
Young Winston was a great movie. Beautiful cinematography.
Robert Shaw and Jack Klugman interacting is almost surreal.
An odd couple.
When they were talking about VD, and dying of it, In disappointed Jack didn’t give us the official information on it, him being a retired Medical Examiner.
“Anyway, we delivered the bomb!”
Always a surprise to hear Robert Shaw’s real voice and accent isn’t it? Very interesting man. Compare his lack of ego and ‘ON’ performance with the American guest Jack Kaufman, and the likes of Richard Harris who was also notorious for his displays of misogyny, which Shaw does not do.
A truly great and believable actor who did not get as many of the roles he deserved. Was any character better written, cast, directed or portrayed than Quint in Jaws? And has anyone ever delivered a more compelling monologue?
I think you mean Jack Klugman. As for Shaw, I wouldn't say he lacked ego--far from it. That was the main point of dispute between himself and Richard Dreyfuss.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard Robert Shaw’s ‘normal’ voice. He was one of my favourite actors & he still has traces of his Bolton accent. Fantastic.
A big THANK YOU to whoever posted it. 👍🏻🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸✌🏻
There's a pub named after him in Westhoughton near Bolton.
I can't fathom Robert Shaw's accent here. I've always seen him with an American or Irish accent. Never knew he was so British.
The was born in Lancashire, moved to the Orkeny Isles, then to Cornwall before the age of 15.
He's from Baltimore Maryland
@@shanana5822 No. He was born in Westhoughton in Lancashire.
@@stevepayne5965 I know, I was just kidding
@@shanana5822 i got that reference. We're gonna need a bigger boat.
The man is so well spoken. He's aware of the differences between his parliament and the American system, knows interesting history, and shows no ignorance. He actually has something worth saying, unlike much of todays drivel.
Born and raised in Lancashire. In Leigh a very working class town.
@@trevorastley1727 - interesting. Another piece of evidence that people were better educated in those days. Peter Hitchens expressed this opinion in a recent interview on "New Culture Forum" YT channel.
I think you mean drivel.
Robert Shaw and Anne Bancroft both nailed their characters. And so is Simon Ward. Brilliant film
one of my favorite scenes in movies, robert shaw, richard dreyfus and roy scheider in jaws comparing scars, Quint war memories etc
Holy smoke did Shaw make a creepy assassin on "From Russia With Love"...
Can really see what a transformation he undergoes to play Quint. His eyes change, mannerisms, accent, voice, movement.
Yes indeed stage trained actor! The few minutes of his describing the ordeal from the USS Indianapolis tragedy is mesmerizing.
This RUclips channel is a continuing gift.
The Sting. Thanks for this clip. Legend.
"Lucky Dave."
Such an interesting man. Celebrities can’t be this real anymore thanks to the modern press and social media
Dick Cavett, Robert Shaw, a fine playwright himself, and Jack Klugman (who was an intense and respected Broadway Method actor in the 50s) talking Randolph Churchill, Pinter and plays they are currently working on in London and New York. It's the old days I'm missing.
Such a classy show,
A night with Venus and a lifetime with Mercury as every Englishman was taught but it was never explained what it meant
That's more than I ever got. My parents would never go near the topic of sex but I'm sure neither did their parents. Thankfully most kids are taught it in school or can look it up, not just p orn.
gem of a human being and an actor.... from Seoul.
i'm a fan of the late Robert newton, but appreciated shaw as well.
Is this the same guy that played the fisherman in Jaws?
Yes
Actually he played the shark.
A brilliant actor and for me Jaws is his best although he did of course many roles in several really good films.
Loved to see Robert again.
I wouldn't mess with Mr. Shaw 😎
"Anyway. We delivered the bomb."
Best film he was in " Battle of Britain ".
"Give 'em a shovel".
Shaw was really smart. when Jaws was made he opted for a tiny tiny portion of the gross. which translated into many millions in royalties. (no pun intended)
Great interview-all 3 riffing brilliantly.
Flashback. My Mother had "Jennie" the book, which I had forgotten until he mentioned it. Of course I was a child then. Must order.
Young Winston is a great film and Shaw has a really tough part playing a man going crazy in Parliament. I just know Dick wanted to ask him if he personally ever caught VD, lol.
"Here's to swimmin' with bow legged wimmin"
Very good movie.
If you get a chance to, check out Robert’s son Ian playing him in the play The Shark is Broken in London. It’s the final 3 weeks.
Mr. Blue in the original Taking of Pelham 1-2-3. He was quite a ping-pong player.
These were the days
Died in Galway, Ireland, where he was loved by local people.
Hopefully they will make a film of the play " the shark is broken" because Robert Shaw's son ( who plays him) is his double!
I knew Robert was from the North but I never knew he had such a deep northern English accent.
That really isn't a deep northern English accent, I can assure you 🙂 If he ever had one RADA would have swiftly knocked it out of him.
@@stevepayne5965 correct - this isn't a deep northern accent by any means
Great movie . I loved it.
Sting the movie card game with Paul Newman played good part too
This was wonderful to watch. I love syphilis.
I bet you do
Its made you so crazy, thats why you love it. If you can't fight it, embrace it.
Robert shaw was great in jaws as quint he hid his English accent very well jaws was a great movie and it still is up the irons!maiden manic🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🤘🤘⭐⭐🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Very sad that Shaw himself died young.
"...like doll's eyes."
maybe Robert Shaw was talking about the plague of Aids that started at the end of the 70's
Sounds like the Kennedy brothers and Marylin Monroe.

Damn good comment. Thanks for that!
4:11 hilarious. I do love Robert Shaw, though I'm sort of glad I never actually met him.
He made this whole story up because there is a later interview while filming jaws that he got loads of letters afterwards and could not believe it that anyone believed him while on the show or people watching it at the time. LOL! Classic, actors can act in the interview. LOL!
The Caretaker is a great watch.
Never knew he was British.
Suddenly, Jack Klugman!
Quincy, pre-wig!
Hemochromatosis killed Robert Shaw. So many brilliant celts go that way
4:42 Dr's talking about being on the verge of an epidemic, little did they know AIDS was just around the corner.
No, I think the point is that they DID know AIDS was around the corner, it just didn't have a name.
@@Revelian1982 1971 was long before AIDS came to be recognized, at any level.
@@davidhull1481 Wow! Was this really 1971?
@@Revelian1982 That’s what it says on the description of the video
Some say that Randolph Churchill was the Ripper of 1888...
Well, Thank You Robert Shaw! Funny how you have to go to an American talk show to get the straight story on British history. I just watched some sort of flowery b.s. biography of Jennie Churchill that omitted, completely, all this. THANKS again. I'd say, it's rather terrible to omit all mention of syphilis, mistresses, woman sharing, and so on just because the guy was a politician.
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like all the other Dick Cavett interviews
The powers that be hid this so well
I'd make it a tie between *Jaws* and *The Sting* Coming in at a very close third would be *A Man For All Seasons* .
Current medical historian have argued that Randolph Churchill actually died of Crohn's disease
Long live freedom and democratic communism
there really is no great american stage history...even the greats had to be go to london to perform and win approval...the barrymores....john and Ethel.....come to mind.....many of course went on to movies leaving the stage behind,,,monty....brando....but the english stage actors men and women...are in a class of their own......
3:14 EVERYONE always blames the poor French...not that they aren't right, but still!
3:24 Soooooo...., 1 girl, 2 cups?
Now Colbert and Kimmel and Fallon would have him doing stupid things.
'Young Winston" not "Young Churchill". It was not a film of great distinction as I recall and lost money.
I thought it was a great film, though many great films don't make much money, and many crap films make lots.
@@johnbrereton5229 Great distinction, but a money-loser.
@@raypurchase801
Financial profit is never the final arbiter of good or bad art.
The main pupose of any of the creative arts is not to make money, but to create. Also as I said previously, many dreadful films have made a fortune and many great films haven't.
@@johnbrereton5229 Funny to see how many very bad films get Oscars for "Best Picture".
Perhaps your taste is different from mine, but I found "The English Patient" to be unwatchably boring. Sometimes if there is no "great" movie released that year, the prize goes to something that's dull but worthy.
@@raypurchase801
The Oscar's are not really an accurate judgement of a good or bad film, they are increasingly more influenced by money and politics than art. Though I actually though that the English Patient was a great film on many levels. However as you say, we all have different tastes and what one person loves, another might loath.
Jude Law
Later eaten by a very big shark
I wonder what Bidens excuse will be for going mad.
@@marythomas1198 Probably through having contact with those like you.
Agreed. I was searching RUclips for the clip from "Young Winston", where Randolph Churchill (Shaw) is speaking in the Commons and slowly falls to pieces. Directly comparable to Biden today.
Biden is just old. Trump is actually mad, his rants are of a schizophrenic person's
