Dirk

STAR WEEK! Today: rare shots of Dirk Bogarde / to follow: Romy Schneider, Anouk Aimee, Joe Losey and Luchino Visconti films (and then back to the 1930s with Irene Dunne, Margaret Sullavan, Loretta Young and Norma Shearer).

Thanks to a friend in New York, here are some very rare (well I had not seen them before!) publicity stills which Bogarde did for MODESTY BLAISE in 1966 - they kept the fish in the glass but Dirk went all silver blonde in the movie! (as per other MODESTY photos on here).



Resnais' PROVIDENCE in 1978 is quite a rare one too - I enjoyed it at the time, it has hardly surfaced since. Here are Bogarde, Gielgud, David Warner, Elaine Stritch and Ellen Burstyn. Quite an eclectic cast!
