From the uniquely creative mind of the great actor Sir Peter Ustinov came an unusual fable starring God and the devil. It was Ustinov's satire called The Old Man and Mr. Smith. In this 1991 interview Ustinov delights in exploring his book's deeper meanings.

Book Vs. Movie: Evil Under the SunThe Agatha Christie Novel Vs the 1982 FilmAgatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun (1941) is a masterclass in misdirection and suspense. The 1982 film adaptation, directed by Guy Hamilton and featuring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, transforms the story into a glamorous whodunit set in a sun-soaked Mediterranean locale.  Both versions center around the murder of actress Arlena Stuart at a resort, with Poirot reluctantly drawn into the investigation, uncovering secrets among the guests, each with a motive. While the book is set on a secluded Devon island during World War II, featuring a more introspective tone, the film opts for colorful costumes and picturesque settings, filmed in Mallorca. Poirot in the book is sharp and formal, while Ustinov's portrayal is warmer and more humorous, appealing to some fans for its charm and theatricality.Between the original novel and the film — did we prefer one over the other?

In this episode, the Margos discuss:Agatha Christie & her character of Poirot The differences between the book and the movieThe cast includes: Peter Ustinov (Hercule Poirot,) Colin Blakley (Sir Horace Blatt), Jane Birkin (Christine Redfern), Nicholas Clay (Patrick Redfern), Maggie Smith (Daphne Castle), Roddy McDowall (Rex Brewster), Sylvia Miles (Myra Gardener), James Mason (Odell Gardner), and Diana Rigg as Arlena Stuart Marshall. Clips Featured:“Poirot swims”Evil Under the Sun 1982 trailer“Cattiness & Cocktails”“Poirot deduces”Music by Cole PorterFollow us on the socials!Join our Patreon page “Book Vs.

En este especial de “Sucedió una noche colección” hemos reunido a cuatro actores del cine clásico que Hollywood consideraba exóticos o multiculturales y que resultaban ideales para cualquier papel que no fuera un personaje norteamericano, ya fueran árabes, latinos, rusos, orientales, turcos o griegos. Tenemos para empezar a Anthony Quinn, el actor mejicano que lo mismo hacía de latino que de indio, griego o esquimal. También estarán por aquí el egipcio más universal del cine clásico, Omar Sharif, el calvo más mítico del cine, Yul Bryner, y el británico Peter Ustinov.

Er starb gestern vor 20 Jahren: das Multitalent Peter Ustinov. Er wurde durch seine Filmrollen weltbekannt, z. B. als wahnsinniger Nero in Quo vadis? (1951). Zunächst zögerte der Regisseur ein ganzes Jahr lang mit der Besetzung, da er den 30-jährigen Schauspieler für zu jung hielt. Doch dann erhielt der Produzent des Films von Ustinov die telegrafische Mitteilung, dass er für die Rolle bald zu alt sei, wenn man noch länger warte, da Nero selbst bereits mit 31 Jahren gestorben sei! Und so bekam er die Rolle. Mit der Darstellung des geisteskranken und größenwahnsinnigen Kaisers gelang Ustinov der internationale Durchbruch. Berühmt ist auch seine wehleidige Stimme in dem Zeichentrickfilm Robin Hood als Prinz John (der daumenlutschende Löwe mit zu großer Krone). Seine letzte Rolle spielte er – schon sichtlich gebrechlich – als Friedrich der Weise in Luther (2003).Peter Ustinov sagte einmal: »Die Jugend braucht alte Männer. Sie braucht Männer, die sich ihres Altes nicht schämen, keine albernen Kopien ihrer selbst. Eltern müssen begreifen, dass sie die Knochen sind, an denen Kinder sich ihre Zähne schärfen (...) Was sind diese Knochen wert, wenn sie weich sind, wenn sie der suchenden Zunge ihr Mark bloßlegen, wenn sie nicht hart, ja unzerbrechlich sind?« Eine bemerkenswerte Beobachtung, die wohl nicht nur von ihm gemacht wurde.Schon Agur im Buch der Sprüche (siehe Tagesvers) wusste um etwa 1000 v. Chr., wie angriffslustig und bissig Jugendliche mit ihren Eltern umgehen. Stoßen Kinder bei uns auf innere Festigkeit, auf Überzeugung und Unnachgiebigkeit? Dann schärfen wir ihr Profil. Oder legt ihre Kritik nur unsere Weichheit und Wert(e)losigkeit bloß? Dann sind wir nur alberne Kopien ihrer selbst.Andreas FettDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.deAudioaufnahmen: Radio Segenswelle

ABD ve Rusya arasındaki “uzay silahları” iddialarıyla ilgili tartışmalar bana Peter Ustinov'un 1961'de gösterime giren “romantik komedi” türündeki “Romanoff ve Juliet” filminden bir sahneyi hatırlattı. Ustinov'un kendisi de filmde Avrupa'da kurgusal bir ülke olan “Concordia Cumhuriyeti”nin general başkanı rolündeydi. ABD ve Sovyetler Birliği büyükelçileri çok önemli bir konuda bu küçük ülkenin desteğini alabilmek için yarış halindeydiler. General ise iki büyükelçilik arasında mekik dokuyarak ülkesi için en uygun pozisyonu araştırmaktaydı. Bu gelip gitmeler sırasında Sovyet Büyükelçisi, Amerikalılara ait çok gizli bir operasyonun şifrelerini çözdüklerini ağzından kaçırır. General, bu bilgiyi hemen ABD Büyükelçisine aktarır. Büyükelçi gayet kendinden emin şekilde “Bildiklerini biliyoruz. Onlara sadece bilmelerini istediğimiz şeyleri veriyoruz” diye karşılık veriyor. General tekrar Sovyet Büyükelçisine giderek “Şifreleri çözdüklerini bildiğinizi biliyorlar” diyordu. Sovyet Büyükelçisi de “Bildiğimizi bildiklerini biliyoruz. Biz de, kandırılmış gibi yaparak buna göre hareket ettik” diyordu. General bu kez ABD Büyükelçisine giderek, “Bildiğinizi bildiklerini bildiğinizi biliyorlar” der. “Bildiğimizi bildiklerini bildiğimizi bildiklerini biliyoruz” diyerek karşılık veren Büyükelçi parmak hesabı yaptığı sırada panikleyerek “Kahretsin, biliyorlar!” diye konuşur. “Soğuk Savaş” döneminin iki karşıt büyük gücü, ABD ve Sovyetler Birliği'nin birbirilerine karşı avantaj sağlayacağını düşündükleri birçok gizli programları olmuştur. Konu askerî teknoloji olunca, bu gizlilik çok daha fazla önemliydi. Büyük güç rekabetinde rakiplerin birbirilerinin avantajlarının bilinmemesi için bir “kandırmaca” oyunu da oynanır. Peter Ustinov “Romanoff ve Juliet” filminde bu kandırmaca oyununu bir güldürüye dönüştürerek hicvediyordu. ABD Temsilciler Meclisi İstihbarat Komitesi Başkanı Mike Turner yaptığı bir açıklamada ABD için ciddi bir ulusal güvenlik tehdidi içeren “İstikrarsızlaştırıcı yabancı bir askeri kapasite”ye dikkat çekmişti. ABD medyası ise yabancı askeri kapasitenin “Rusya” olduğuna dair iddialara yer vermişti. İddialar Rusya'nın ABD'nin uzaydaki uydu sistemlerini felç edecek nitelikte bir silah geliştirdikleri şeklindeydi. Rusya ise iddiaların Ukrayna'ya askerî yardım içeren yasa tasarılarının ABD Kongresi'nden geçmesini sağlamak için ortaya atıldığını savunuyordu.

In 1963 a film was released which, had its original casting remained intact, would probably be barely remembered today - The Pink Panther, directed by Blake Edwards. With Peter Ustinov as a sure-footed and dependable French police inspector on the trail of a notorious jewel thief it would doubtless have made respectable money and garnered warm reviews but would hardly have spawned a slew of spin-offs - while in fact, the follow-up film, A Shot In The Dark, came out a mere three months after The Pink Panther opened in North American theatres. All this was due to the last-minute casting of Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, following Ustinov's departure from the project. Between them, Sellers and Edwards totally revised the character of the inspector, making him much more comedic, and what emerged was one of the most beloved and memorable characters in cinema history. Although the film was a starring vehicle for David Niven as Sir Charles Lytton AKA The Phantom – described by Clouseau as “the surest, cleverest most ingenious criminal in all the world” - and very much in the style of one of those undemanding frothy sixties romps set in glamourous international locations, Sellers went into it a supporting actor and emerged as the standout star. This week one half of The Sitcom Club and Jaffa Cakes For Proust Gary Rodger joins Tyler to talk about The Pink Panther. Some questions arise: ... How did Clouseau rise to prominence in the French Sûreté? ... What motive did Mme Clouseau have for marrying him in the first place? ... Would the film have benefitted from 100% less Wagner? ... What was an original Pink Panther? ... Who might have had a hand in the famous car chase sequence? ... How did the Princess change ethnicity? ... Who are the audience meant to root for? ... How is this a sex comedy if nobody gets any? ... Just who WERE in those gorilla suits? ... Why was Michael Trubshawe in this film? ... And wasn't Colin Gordon marvellous? Plus much more!

In a world where most of us associate reality with vibrant colors, Ustinov's choice to present "Billy Budd" in black and white raises intriguing questions. Ivor Montagu, being one who questioned it, found Ustinov's response peculiar, realizing that the audience lacked disbelief. Should they have found it strange? Can a film rid of color actually appear more real to us? In this episode, we'll explore the complexities of perception, the power of artistic illusions, and how these forms of art have developed over time.Credits: Short clips from the movie "Billy Budd", directed by Peter UstinovWebsites mentioned in podcastIntro/outro soundtracks: https://stock.adobe.com/audio?as_channel=sem&as_campclass=nonbrand&as_campaign=US%7CCPRO%7CStock%7CAWAR%7CAudio_Exact%7CGG%7C%7C&as_source=google&as_camptype=acquisition&sdid=YXPZG2JH&mv=search&ef_id=CjwKCAiApNSABhAlEiwANuR9YOyXszTQRWlMS39UOcCzzSPVca-eOLJOpRw76Z1vbSvrEmEBp423wxoCyYcQAvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!450951804139!e!!g!!royalty%20free%20music!10630983778!104620769186&gclid=CjwKCAiApNSABhAlEiwANuR9YOyXszTQRWlMS39UOcCzzSPVca-eOLJOpRw76Z1vbSvrEmEBp423wxoCyYcQAvD_BwE

This episode of Exploring Art Podcast delves into the Illusion of Reality with a focus on Peter Ustinov's Billy Budd. The discussion is based on Ustinov's deliberate use of black and white and how it has affected the Aesthetic Experience of its viewers and reality. Peter was asked by Ivor Montagu why he had used black and white to which he replied, “so it would seem real.” Montagu was taken aback and thought it was a strange reply. Was it really that strange though? Find out on this week's episode! Music in intro info - Casa Bossa Nova https://goo.gl/snon8UCasa Bossa Nova by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/

Igor Ustinov le fils de Peter Ustinov est un incroyable personnage ! Avant tout c'est un grand sculpteur, on peut voir ses œuvres à Genève à la Place Saint-Paul, devant le Collège du Léman, une œuvre de 7 mètres de haut, à Lucerne au bord du lac  puis en région parisienne, à Levallois et à Pantin au siège de Chanel, à Bath en Grande-Bretagne et en Bulgarie. Depuis 40 ans il a aussi vendu d'innombrables sculptures à des collectionneurs de tous pays. Son style est un homme stylisé très énergique, ses sculptures donnent la pêche ! Mais Igor ne veut pas être un artiste qui, solitaire dans son atelier,  crée des illusions tandis que le monde va mal, il préside la Fondation Peter Ustinov, au service des enfants de la planète, construisant des orphelinats et des écoles grâce à leurs 25 000 donateurs réguliers. Il crée aussi à Vienne une fondation pour lutter contre les préjugés. En 2017 il gagne le  prix de la meilleure invention de l'année au Salon des Inventeurs à Palexpo. Il avait  breveté en 2014 un système modulaire pour construire des maisons avec du PET recyclé c'est à dire le plastique des bouteilles. Ajoutez à cela qu'il a un diplôme de chanteur d'Opera, il est baryton basse et qu'il a créé le festival des œuvres de percussion qui aura sa première édition en 2023 à Lausanne. À 27 ans il publiait un livre de contes "Delirium très mince".  Écoutez cet incroyable personnage!

With the population continuously increasing, the access to proper housing and water become more and more challenging... with dramatic impact on our environment.  Our guest today, is coming with asolution: to upcycle plastic bottles to build modular construction structures.  His name is Igor Ustinov and is he is the founder of UHCS (standing for Ustinov Hoffmann Construction System).  But it's far from being the only thing on his mind. Igor Ustinov is first and foremost an artist. He is a sculptor with many monument exhibited across the world. He is also a classical singer with a Master Degree in biology.  

This week's guest star is the living embodiment of the Renaissance Man, the Muppets biggest "get" of season one and lived a life that was almost unimaginably interesting. Raised by a spy and a ballet dancer, Ustinov began acting at the age of 18 and never looked back, winning two Best Supporting Actor Oscars as well as a Grammy. In this Episode Doug and I discuss his talent for mimicry and long time work for UNICEF on behalf of the United Nations, an institution that held an entirely different place in the American imagination in the 1960's than it does now.

"Ich bin ethnisch sehr schmutzig und sehr stolz darauf."

Als größenwahnsinniger Nero im Sandalenepos "Quo Vadis?" wurde er 1951 zum Hollywoodstar. Autorin: Christiane Kopka

I’m Spartacus! Okay, Kirk Douglas, start crying. Yup, Top 100 ‘cast #60 is Spartacus. Director-for-hire Stanley Kubrick has an excellent cast at his disposal (Olivier, Laughton, Curtis, Ustinov). Is this truly one of the great epics though? Find out!

(Later on, /w/ disappeared from Greek, resulting in digamma being used as a numeral only.)In Etruscan, ‹F› also represented /w/; however, they formed the digraph ‹FH› to represent /f/; when the Romans picked up, the letter, they had already borrowed ‹U› from Greek upsilon to stand for /w/. At the this time, the Greek letter phi ‹Φ› represented an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive, /pʰ/ though it has now come to approximate the sound of /f/ in Modern Greek.The lower case ‹f› is not related to the visually similar long s, ‹ſ›. The use of the long s largely died out by the beginning of the 19th century, mostly to prevent confusion with ‹f›.FROM WIKIPEDIA: The letter V ultimately comes from the Semitic letter Waw, as do the modern letters F, U, W, and Y. See F for details.In Greek, the letter upsilon ‹Υ› was adapted from waw to represent, at first, the vowel /u/ as in "moon". This was later fronted to /y/, the vowel spelled ‹ü› in German.In Latin, a stemless variant shape of the upsilon was borrowed in early times as V—either directly from the Western Greek alphabet or from the Etruscan alphabet as a middle man—to represent the same /u/ sound, as well as the consonantal /w/. Thus, num — originally spelled ‹NVM› — was pronounced /nuːm/ and via was pronounced /wiːa/. From the first century A.D. on, depending on Vulgar Latin dialect, consonantal /w/ developed into /β/, then later to /v/.In Roman numerals, the letter V is used to represent the number 5. It was used because it resembled the convention of counting by notches carved in wood, with every fifth notch double-cut to form a "V".During the late Middle Ages, two forms of ‹v› developed, which were both used for modern ‹u› and ‹v›. The pointed form ‹v› was written at the beginning of a word, while a rounded form ‹u› was used in the middle or end, regardless of sound. So whereas valor and excuse appeared as in modern printing, have and upon were printed ‹haue› and ‹vpon›. The first distinction between the letters ‹u› and ‹v› is recorded in a Gothic alphabet from 1386, where ‹v› preceded ‹u›. By the mid-1500s, the ‹v› form was used to represent the consonant and ‹u› the vowel sound, giving us the modern letter ‹u›. Capital ‹U› was not accepted as a distinct letter until many years later.[2]PHONETIC NOTATION: represented by lower case f and v Similar sounds in IPA: labiodental approximant ʋ labiodental nasal ɱ bilabial fricatives ɸ β using f or v in place of th sounds "th fronting" in Southern England working class accents, like Cockneyusing labiodental place on preceding nasals, e.g. invest, infer, emphasis, emphysema, lymph with ɱVARIATIONSuse of bilabial fricative in its place ʋ Challenge for Dutch/German article: Voiced labiodental fricatives or glides - all the same to Germans? by Silke Hamann* & Anke Sennema‡List of languages that have f and ʋLanguage f v ʋ ɸ β Danish f Ø ʋ Ø Ø three-way distinctionDutch fits oːvən ʋɑŋ Ø in some Belgian dialects the /ʋ/ phoneme is realized as [β] three-way distinctionEnglish f v 'red' Ø Ø two-way distinction –( Wikipedia entry claims labialized /r/)Finnish f Ø ʋ Ø Ø two-way distinctionGerman f“fau”v“we”Ø Ø Ø two-way distinction – approximant allophone of /v/ in Southern varietiesHawaiian Ø Ø ʋ Ø Ø May also be realized as [w] or [v].Hindi f Ø ʋ Ø Ø two-way distinction –Serbo-Croatian f Ø ʋ Ø Ø May also be realized as [v], depending on the speaker's dialect.Norwegian f Ø ʋ Ø Ø Japanese Ø Ø Ø ɸ β these are considered weak forms of /p/ and /b/Ewe f͈ v͈ Ø ɸ β Ewe is one of the few languages known to contrast [f] vs. [ɸ] and [v] vs. [β].
