The
John Player Lecture
In November 1970 Dirk was interviewed at the National Film
Theatre by Margaret Hinxman
as part of the John Player Lecture series. Dirk was at his
best; relaxed, engaging, forthcoming, sharp, occasionally
slanderous but not malicious, and very, very funny. The
organisers, Søren Fischer (pictured) and Brian Baxter,
said afterwards that only Billy Wilder had made an audience
laugh as much.
