Cavett dick greats hollywood

Description:Most of what Brando says on this is very perceptive and exposes to an extent the machinations Cavett works by. Most of the shows have one person being interviewed one-on-one for an hour or so without having to push a film or book although Hepburn and Capra are exceptions to a degree — they can just talk about themselves and their career and the results are usually entertaining and enlightening. Despite the interview being conducted without a studio audience or perhaps because of it the interview works so well that it was extended to cover two episodes. Despite that, these are highly worth watching not only because of their historical value for any film fan, but they are usually entertaining. But I kept reading almost universally good things about his early s show — that it was a high watermark in American TV interview shows, that Cavett was a sophisticated interviewer, that the interviews were far more substantial than you would see from the typical film star today, etc… After watching this DVD, do these assertions hold up? On the positive side the format of these shows are very appealing if you want to get a substantial overview of the person being interviewed. It improves in the second half, but overall a waste.
