Brilliant!
Excellent compilation!
You just can't beat the "great dames" of Britain! Incredible!❤❤❤
Gosh! What an incredibly intelligent, sensitive and beautiful performance! An artist of the highest degree!❤❤❤
An oldie but goodie. Seeing this series when originally broadcast in 1987 turned me on to the genius that is Alan Bennett
I just watched this again and noticed that there is an empty glass on the kitchen table in the opening shot. The writing, the performance and the direction are all in perfect alignment.
Genius writer, absolutely masterful performer
Wonderful! Thank-you ❤
Really puts you off drinking!
Thank you for posting this. I first saw this when PBS aired it in the 1980s on Masterpiece Theatre, and it is still one of my favourite pieces and favourite performances ever. The brilliance of Alan Bennett's writing is both hilarious and heartbreaking as he creates this character from the Anglican church world he knew so well. And then he had the brilliance to cast Maggie. For me, along with Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, this shows Maggie Smith's phenomenal range in a way that her more recent roles haven't. It shows her talent and timing so much more than she's been given the chance to do n her senior years. She's hilarious in Downtown Abbey and brilliant in her line delivery, but it doesn't need the range that this piece does. I have heard other actors do this role, both on radio and on stage in New York. Nobody has come anywhere close to what she does with it. She can go from a hilarious line to making you cry within a split second, and the final moments are devastating. Brava, Maggie! Bravo, Mr. Bennett, for your writing and superb direction.
I also loves her in My House in Umbria. Brilliant
👏👍❣️
Holy Mother of God! She is unworldly--so nuanced, so good. What a performance.
This for me is one of my favourite performances by her, equalled only by the feature film The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, in which she is also superb.
@@Broadwaybuff-pi1qg Indeed ... how right you are!
She never blinked once during the long prayer.
I can't help wishing they hadn't refilmed these. They have none of the freshness of the original Talking Heads, and not one play is improved upon. Don't really know why they did it. If you can, get hold of the real thing.
Smith is superb. Bye.
Absolutely. But did you see version 101 of Talking Heads? She was even better, as were Thora Hird et al. I still don't quite understand why they felt the need to redo them. Could be something quite basic like the original films degenerating or whatever. Please don't think I'm dissing Maggie - never!
This is actually "the real thing," when they were first produced for BBC TV in the 1980s. No other video version was done before this one. So not sure where you're getting your information.
Nope, they're remakes.
@@nickwyatt9498 nope. this is the original. I actually taped it on my VHSmachine when it was broadcast in North America on Masterpiece Theatre in the 1980s, and this is the same performance. I know because I fell in love with this performance so much I showed it to many Anglican friends. I had heard something about them being redone in more recent years, but this performance dates back to the 1980s. I do recall reading that they were re-done recently, but this is the original. Alan Bennett himself also did one at the time, called A Chip in the Sugar, which was also filmed and is on RUclips. Also from the 1980s.
to be COMPLETELY honest romantically i did do and/or probably will SOMEWHAT like rebecca romijn because of her REALLY attractive face
Wow, such pretension.
Pretension??
@@fkd1963 Yep
@@superdeluxesmell Nope. It's called good writing.
Allen Bennett's work is brilliant, added with the amazing talents of these outstanding Actors, I'm forever grateful for such magnificent performances... I watch them over and over, and never tire of them.. The dialog, and the emotion portrayed by the participants, are perfection personified! Bravo to all! ♥️♥️
Superb Smith. Superb Bennett!!!
'Jeffrery's bad enough but I'm glad I wasn't married to Jesus.' What a great opening line!
Superb, thank you for putting these on .fantastic and thought provoking.
Brilliant!
“...Why the vicar’s wife has to go to church at all. A barrister’s wife doesn’t have to go to court, an artist wife doesn’t have to go to every performance”
Heaps of kudos given to Maggie's acting and Alan's writing, and rightly deserved so. But I also like to give credit to the director and the camera work done on this as well as the music by the great George Fenton. None of them had that outsized ego to stamp some narcissistic individuality on this piece that could have ruined it altogether. Instead they tread very lightly and give the lightest of touch to it and the rest of the series, resulting in the perfect touch. Nothing unnecessary, nothing over dramatized (camera, pacing, music, etc), so what we get is the masterpiece in perfect form, no gilding of the lily here. Very tasteful really. Thank you for this.
The director was also Alan Bennett. Nice that he was able to handle the adaptation of his own writing. So many writers aren't happy with what happens to their scripts after the directors take over.
I have six streaming platforms but i usually end up on youtube watching this sort of obscure masterpiece.
Bennet. Smith. Absolute legends. Both still with us. ❤❤❤
What key is this in pls?
Brilliant. I've seen the "Talking Heads" monologues play at Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago and am familiar with Alan Bennett and many of his contemporary British writers who I really admire. Never heard of this piece. I was thinking how wonderfully written by Alan Bennett, how wonderfully delivered and acted by Maggie Smith and whoever the director was did a wonderful job behind the scenes. Then read in the credits afterward the director was none other than Alan Bennett himself.
I cherish all Maggie Smith performances, but this one has stuck in my head. My old VHS tape is long gone. So happy to find the performance here.
Lyrics: Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot-blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepherd need shepherd But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight I don't think you unworthy I need a moment to deliberate❤
It is a formidable talent to make the everyday humdrum seem like revelation.
Who, in our current "cavalcade of stars," can equal this performance. Few, if any, I suspect.
Emma Thompson is the only one I can think of who is equally good at comedy, tragedy and subtlety. I'd love to hear her do it.
Best backup track I’ve ever heard I guess it’s not karaoke
It is good.
A true wonder! Love her!
Oh my gosh so enraptured by her presence
Wonderful
The INCOMPARABLE Maggie Smith. Superlative writing, unbelievably talented delivery.
Also in the new talking heads
Alan did an outstanding job on these monologs.
What this Key?
Thank you this is my key. 😍
What would drama be without the church, symbol to writers of every hypocrisy in life? I’m tired of them using the church for this when hypocrisy exists in the freest most liberal agnostics.
the church becomes a scapegoat, yes. but we must all look to our own hearts really, that's the hard part.
The real name for this version is “Please Stop Believing”
Maggie Smith, we - the lesser mortals - salute you !!!!!
Maggie Smith later performed this monologue on stage in the West End. She had such a great command of the audience that she managed to double the laughs, often simply with a look that created anticipation of a wicked observation to come, and therefore provoked a laugh where there certainly wasn't one in the script. It was a masterclass in comedy.
Rebecca Romijn is the Naked Beauty, and her Bare Legs are Amazing and Sexy🦵🏻🦵🏻💕
romantically I did do and/or probably will sometimes like her because her face has literally always been really attractive
I saw this several years ago on DVD--I must have rented it or something--and I'm amazed to see it again. I can not think of one American actress equal to this performance. Perhaps some of the great British dames of the theater could compare to Dame Maggie, but no American I can bring to mind in the moment.
oh Meryl Streep could do it. 30 years ago.
@@harmoniabalanza She's American, and while good at accents, just wouldn't understand the entire world of this woman the way Maggie does.
hello i just made a cover of your instrumental. hope you can checked it i also gave credits thanks!
AMAZING + Thank God for Mr Ramesh Ramesh <3
BRILLIANT
It's not Karaoke
That’s the finest fine-tuning I have ever heard Bar none
