David Niven was one of the best interview at Michael Parkinson, always funny and telling stories and jokes to crack the host an the audienxe. And we love to see Parky in stitches laughing. #funnyvideo #funnyvideos #screenwriter #screenwriting #screenplay #hollywoodlegends #film #filmmaking #cinema #movies #didyouknow #writing #writers #advice #tips #films #story

A fascinating man who lead an extraordinary life. When World War 2 broke out he left Hollywood and went straight back to England to rejoin the Army. Served in the Commandos. One of England’s finest actors and a good writer to boot.
For all those WHO DON'T GET IT: PISSED means DRUNK in Britain.
'The Moon's a Balloon'. His Autobiographical wander around lights cameras and lots of off screen action. Some of them very naughty. 😂
Could not make out the end line
Might be shut up I'm pissed ....drunk
Always liked David Niven.
What an incredible gentleman!!
And then there's the variation of this by the Smothers Brothers in their song "Crabs Walk Sideways And Lobsters Walk Straight".
He was even a better story teller in writing. I've rarely enjoyed any books as much as his "The Moon's a Balloon" and "Bring on the Empty Horses." The first one, being more autobiographical really shows what a charming man he was. He was forever meeting someone casually in an elevator or someplace, and after 10 minutes, they'd invite him come spend a week at their country house. Wonderful, versatile actor, too!!
Legend.
SUPER ICONIC , CLASSIC....LEGENDARY❤
I haven't watched this yet, but I remember it very clearly from when it first aired. I'm 55 now and it's still a very clear memory - I especially remember my dad (long passed now) roaring with laughter. Core memory.
Whats the end
Same. What does he say at the end? Dont get it
The Smothers Brothers have a great song about this! "Crabs Walk Sideways and Lobsters Walk Straight". Check it out!
Two lovely men R.I.P
Legendary comment he made at the Oscars about the streaker ...😮
The moon’s a balloon !
Missed the punch line!
So if you're straight you're far less likely to get Crabs?
