If Bogarde and Forwood's relationship was platonic, why live together ?WHY ?

I never knew he might be gay. Not until tonite when seeing this documentary. I always simply enjoyed his art. And isn't that after all the most important aspect of the man?

great just great

I hope to upload the Arena documentary very soon... Be cool!

the arena doc was the best ever

Charlotte Rampling looks stunning as always!

Or his gayness!In the Arena documentary his sister tells of how thrilled she was to be regularly asked to go on holiday with him even tho they were never really closeEventually she realised the only reason she was getting invited is because Bogarde - ever the self-obsessed closet queen - wanted photographers to be taking pictures of him with a woman rather than forwood his long term boyfriend

Thank you so much for this biography and to keep his image alive electrioncally.

Thanks for uploading this programme, Ana. Dirk Bogarde, along with James Mason, is my favourite British actor of all time. He seems to have been a fiercely intelligent, but very kind man and was certainly a great actor who made many fascinating, unconventional films and his complex performances can be watched over and over again.

The Areana Docu used to be on here, shame it's gone...

thanks for posting this. what a wonderful man. i really respect his right not to have to tell the world about his personal life

Wonderful actor, writer and such an inspiring person for all artists and those interested in the creative arena's. I used to write to Dirk when he lived in London in the 90s. I cherish his replies.I am dedicated my solo album to him ....We miss you Dirk!Aidan Casserly

Thanks for that and if you ever find that Arena programme, please please post it.

Thanks for this - interesting if very sketchy doco - doesn't mention his childhood female mentor or his very tolerant relationship with Judy Garland.

I enjoyed this very much, thank you

That music at the end is really very good. "We ought to sign him."Read Roger Ebert's review of "Victim" (THAT was his first great film!). It'll make you feel better.

Thank you so much for posting this.
