		<description><![CDATA[Strangely, Dirk Bogarde never became a major star in the United States. I&#8217;m sure he was well known in the US in the &#8217;50s and &#8217;60s, but he wasn&#8217;t the superstar he was in Britain or the  top star he was internationally. Perhaps Bogarde just didn&#8217;t care for Hollywood stardom &#8212; certainly not when  in Europe he got to work for the likes of Joseph Losey, Luchino Visconti, Alain Resnais, Liliana Cavani, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, John Schlesinger, Anthony Asquith, and the now all-but-forgotten but generally capable Basil Dearden.
Anyhow, today is Dirk Bogarde day as Turner Classic Movies continues with its &#34;Summer Under the Stars&#34; series, which features  two TCM premieres later this evening:  The Blue Lamp [...]]]></description>

Dirk Bogarde, James Fox in The Servant (top); The Damned (bottom)

&#34;Among the greatest  things that happened to British cinema were the arrival on our shores  of the Korda brothers in the 30s, Losey in the 50s and Kubrick in the  60s,&#34; reads the introduction to an upcoming Joseph Losey series, which runs June 1-July 23 at the bfi Southbank in London.
The Wisconsin-born (on Jan. 14, 1909) Ivy Leage-educated Losey became a political refugee following the post-World War II anti-Red hysteria. He fled to Britain where he would remain for the next three decades until his death in 1984.
The most curious thing about the bfi series is an omission: The Go-Between (1971), a scathing attack on social mores [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Via The [London] Telegraph: Private correspondence between actor Dirk Bogarde (Victim, Darling) and film critic Dilys Powell reveals that Bogarde &#8211; one of the most popular and respected British actors of the 20th century &#8211; was considerably more caustic in his letters than in his autobiographies. (He wrote several books of memoirs, none of which is very readable &#8211; and none of which is candid about his personal life or his homosexuality.)
Among the victims of the Victim star (sorry, I couldn&#8217;t resist the bad pun) are actor-director (and Lord) Richard Attenborough (Gandhi, Jurassic Park), who is referred to as &#34;an idiot&#34;; actress Vanessa Redgrave &#8211; a &#34;ninny&#34;; and actor John Gielgud, who couldn&#8217;t &#34;understand half of Shakespeare.&#34;

The Fixer (1968)
Direction: John Frankenheimer
Screenplay: Dalton Trumbo, from Bernard Malamud&#8217;s 1966 novel
Cast: Alan Bates, Dirk Bogarde, Georgia Brown, Hugh Griffith, Elizabeth Hartman, Ian Holm, David Opatoshu, David Warner, Carol White
&#160;

&#160;

In 1969, director John Frankenheimer declared that he felt &#34;better about The Fixer than anything I&#8217;ve ever done in my life.&#34; Considering Frankenheimer&#8217;s previous output &#8212; Seven Days in May, the much admired The Manchurian Candidate &#8212; it is hard to believe that the director was being anything but a good PR man for his latest release. 
Adapted from Bernard Malamud&#8217;s National Book Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel (which itself was based on the real story of Jewish bricklayer Mendel Beiliss), The Fixer is an overlong, overblown, and overwrought contrivance that, [...]]]></description>
