Dirk Bogarde made his name in the best ever British cop film The Blue Lamp. he robbed a cinema box office and killed Pc George Dixon in the process. the film was so popular that the character of Dixon played by Jack Warner was brought back five yrs later for Dixon Of Dock Green, a show that lasted 20-yrs
Bogarde made a series of 'Doctors' films, playing Simon Sparrow. he was oppisite Muriel Pavlow in two of those films and Bridget Bardot in one. another regular was James Robertson Justice as Sir Lancelot Spratt.
Bogarde eager to make more serious films made Victim, which i've documented on other posts. one thing did annoy me about it. the theme of the film was homosexuality and yrs later Bogarde said the only gay actor involved with the film was Dennis Price. this wasn't true as Bogarde himself was homosexual. it wasn't that i objected to, but the fact he outted the late Dennis Price while suggesting he himself wasn't gay.
other films of the vain followed. In The Servent he played a servent, who controls his master James Fox. the ladies were represented by Wendy Craig and Serah Miles
Sebastian is one of my favourite films as i also mentioned before. he was also in Darling with Julie Christie
