Dirk Bogarde's life story -- in comic book form!

This is BY FAR my favorite Dirk Bogarde find. About a week ago I was perusing ebay listings and came across a late-1950's magazine that had only a photo of the cover, and said "Dirk Bogarde cover and feature -- his life story in pictures and also in comic strip." Comic strip??? I had to see this. And it's about 100 times better than anything I could have hoped!! It is seriously a comic strip. It's 22 pages long and -- with a few white lies and exaggerations -- really is his life story in comic strip form, up until about 1958. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!! :)

new scans

Some new scans to share! The one above is from The Password is Courage, and the ones below are from a set of French Justine lobby cards I got last month -- mainly for the first one, but the rest are really nice too!

I'm a bit behind in adding the new scans to the photo section of the site, but hopefully I'll have that finished this week. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season & best wishes for the new year! :)

Justine photos

Have to admit .. I haven't actually seen Justine yet! It's one of the ones I'm really looking forward to watching (co-starring Anna Karina! yay!) though. I've just been trying to save some of his films and not watch them all at once. Nevertheless, I couldn't pass on these photos when I saw them on ebay! They're fantastic!

I'll be adding them to the photograph section next week -- until then, if you'd like to download the large scan, just click on the photo and it should open in a new window :)

new scans!

A gigantic "thank you" to my good friend Roe from the Dirk Bogarde facebook group for sending me some wonderful photos in the mail last week! First there's this fantastic photo above from the National Gallery in London. I usually prefer his younger photos but this one is just so captivating! I also love the mixed patterns: the checkered pants, striped shirt and what appears to be an insect-print tie?!

I also received this batch of amazing stills from Hot Enough for June! They really capture the feel of the movie, how it is delightfully fun and romantic, but still exceptionally suspenseful! You can see larger versions of all of these photos by clicking the thumbnails in the photo section of my website, here! Thank you Roe!! :)

New photos

A huge thank you to Tom from Motion Picture Gems for this amazing "Desperate Moment" still. I've never even seen this picture before, isn't it great?!


And Kendra from Days in Mayfair and Viv & Larry took this snapshot of a wonderful Dirk Bogarde photo on display at the National Portrait Gallery in England!

You can see larger versions of the first 2 photos here in the photographs section. Just click to view the scans full-size.

30 new scans

I just added 30 new scans to the dirk-bogarde.com photography section! All of the photos added today were taken by Roddy McDowall. You can check out all 30 on flickr. These five are my favorites :)
