You've inspired me to look this one up. And you've written so touchingly about not just the man, but the stigma.<br /><br />Thank you. Several things in this post made me sit up and take notice. What makes a blog "good" might well be one that has regularity in its postings. But for me, a great blog is more than that, and written not by a just blogger, but a writer. The kind who will go away and come back after mulling on the topic, no matter how long it takes. <br /><br />You never fail to disappoint. xxBeing Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600427311498297800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-86476455482052007052014-04-28T22:35:53.633+02:002014-04-28T22:35:53.633+02:00Suburbia: if nothing else I'll keep going just...Suburbia: if nothing else I'll keep going just because I'm a stubborn bastard.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-44023881348119431322014-04-28T22:30:57.600+02:002014-04-28T22:30:57.600+02:00I really hope you don't stop blogging, there a...I really hope you don't stop blogging, there are not many 'constants' left these days!Suburbiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352465945711496612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-77123437270770985802014-04-28T19:50:07.783+02:002014-04-28T19:50:07.783+02:00Gorilla Bananas: ironically the animal loving side...Gorilla Bananas: ironically the animal loving side to him was more accurate than the idea of the passionate lothario. The booze I believe took it's toll and he lost most of his capacity for desire. As for animals, he was well known for rescuing strays at the drop of a hat. And the elephant in Hannibal Brooks became genuinely attached to him and allegedly cried when they finally had to part after filming was wrapped up. But don't worry. I'm sure he loved gorillas too.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-21987801098378264102014-04-28T19:32:06.868+02:002014-04-28T19:32:06.868+02:00Yes, he got his knob out in Women in Love, as well...Yes, he got his knob out in <i>Women in Love</i>, as well as hungrily sucking Glenda Jackson's tits. All credit to him for that. But the role I most admire him for was Hannibal Brooks.

That pre-tattoo scene in Women In Love is as naked as he could ever get. <br /><br />Barry: must admit I'm more of a Musketeers kind of guy. Apparently he used to throw himself so fiercely into the fight scenes that the stunt men were often found shaking in a corner, retching miserably after the director had yelled, "cut!"Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-33871919878242836602014-04-28T17:20:28.064+02:002014-04-28T17:20:28.064+02:001999!

I thought he died a few years ago!!!<br /><br />I will always remember his performance in Ken Russell's TV film of Debussy - mainly for the nudity - I was young. <br /><br />I saw "The Devils" - it was the nude scenes that attracted me, but not "Women in Love" despite the male wrestling in the all together.<br /><br />I thought he made a brilliant Bill Sikes, shame he had to act opposite Lamb Chops.<br /><br />They didn't cremate him - couldn't risk it.

Sure Ollie could be wild and crazy but when he was serious he had a real presence. He could ooze genuine danger. I don't think Robbie has that. To be honest I'd be hard pressed to think of anyone who could play Ollie and do him justice. He was like Freddie Mercury - irreplaceable and impossible to emulate.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-61291942695084003512014-04-28T13:33:10.328+02:002014-04-28T13:33:10.328+02:00Two things Steve.....blogging ebbs and flows, and ...Two things Steve.....blogging ebbs and flows, and just dipping in and out when suits is fine I think...and Oliver Reed was very sexy and very much his own man (could he be played by Robbie Williams in a film d'you think?).libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.com
