Thank you for posting this great interview! Brian died recently at age 81. What a talent he was -- and so versatile!
I had the privilege to see this production in London. There was sobbing, and there were deep sorrowful sighs throughout. Many sat there with their head in their hands, shaking it slowly whilst staring at the floor. When it ended there was silence, for a few seconds, before the applause erupted and continued in waves. I will be amazed if there has even been a better Willy Loman than Brian Dennehy. All these years later I vividly remember that night, that play and that performance.
That must’ve been in 2000.
I missed the Brian Dennehy production, to my regret, though did get to see the recent revival at the Young Vic with Wendell Pierce as Lorman. WOW INDEED
Brian Dennehy’s portrayal of Willy Loman was masterful! Best since Lee J. Cobb!
Do they know that Arthur Miller is sitting there watching them?
Im amazed how emotional he is. It means a lot to him.
Karl Malden tells the story of opening in Streetcar Named Desire in Boston & having Arthur Miller & a few notables invited to see it. after the show, Arthur Miller was missing for some time, her returned, shaken, having taken a long long walk. he said that Tennessee Williams hadn't paid any respect to time or scene changes in his writing. seeing Streetcar had so liberated the poetic possibilities of playwriting that he went off & wrote Death of a Salesman. this in the commentary for the film version of SND.
Thank you.
This pairing and the subject matter reminds me of the sit-down that occurred between John Ford and John Wayne. Not unlike Ford, I think Miller was surprised to find out that "the S.O.B. can actually act." It seems that many fine talents must lie dormant until they find a savvy & benevolent mentor that gives them rein. The guy could act when he quit using his 'bulk' as his character. He did better when the bulk of his character took over and , literally ran the show.
Nice.
RIP Brian Dennehy.
Perfect casting
"All of a sudden, forty years later, all of a sudden..." (B.D. shrugs).
Ironic that Mr Dennehy stated it took him TEN YEARS to become a overnight success, which is how it is for many of us who stick it in any endeavour particularly in the arts and more so in acting!!!
This play kills me. Dustin hoffman playing it on TV was all I could handle. I can't watch it anymore.
I wouldn't watch it with Dustin Hoffman, he's totally miscast as Willy.
@@simonebell6871 Not true at all. He plays Willy brilliantly!
@@simonebell6871 I just finished watching this Dusting Hoffman version about ten minutes ago . Lol if you don’t mind my asking why do you feel He was miscast for the role? I’m just curious cause while I’m still reflecting on the performance, I thought Hoffman did a pretty decent job!
My God Mr Miller looks like a baby Port Jackson Shark.
Dear Class, Angel man Brian Dennehy reminds me of so many good things, things we may not even ever talk about, yet things we know about, including some of what I can think of regarding just one word, Class, the word..........Constable.
Brian is such a hunk of a man, another mountain of muscles, an imposing figure on our good streets, helping peoples stay in line aroaa, and Brian is so recognized in at least some good way, as representative of The Constabulatory, too, just in his presence for one dang thing, his presence on screen, in person, on the football field, lol...yikes. Football is such an interesting subject, I haven't been too much involved in football and Professional Sports for a long while, since I was a little kid. I used to know every NFL Team by heart and could recognize every team just by uniform as a kid, but I got less involved apparently later in life, and now I'm getting back to it for once, and Brian's good name is representative of all kinds of good regarding another great good word, the word.........."football".
Never understood "Death of a Salesman" or Charlie Rose's fall from grace for that matter...
Well...maybe the understanding of Rose's "fall from grace" wil; be known exclusively by the women who worked in his office.
Keep watching it. When you get it, you'll really get it, and you will love it.......I am talking about the play.
It’s a very good, interesting play to read- “armchair literature”- but its true genius is only realized & experienced in a live production with a great cast that brings it to life, lifts it off the page, and then actual magic(“angel dust”) occurs in the room/theatre as a “shared experience”. If you’re ever lucky enough to see a good live performance, you’ll understand what Brian is talking about…..🙏🎭
I didn't like this version of the play
