the name is Michael Craig, bitches

More Michael

Michael with a stubble

again

so beautiful in MYSTERIOUS ISLAND

Literally

In MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, he is the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.

DELICIOUS AND HOT

YES PLEASE

you gurls are always fawning all over our actors and then bitching about how ugly we are.

yummm

R9 not me mate, I'm a sucker for anything british

sorry wrong link

I just watched MYSTERIOUS ISLAND today, jealous, bitches ?

He's still ALIVE! He's 92!

He was really hot.

He was in Campbell's Kingdom with Dirk Bogarde. Did Dirk tap that?

[quote] you gurls are always fawning all over our actors and then bitching about how ugly we are.

But isn't he Canadian?

I thought it ridiculous he had to play second fiddle to the effeminately limp Dirk Bogarde or stolid Stanley Baker.

I'd like to know the facts about his Rank contract and the Columbia contract.

Was he too pretty? Columbia didn't put him in bigger roles.

Did you see his fleeting penis nude scene? He was wearing a towel in some dopey comedy circa 1960 with some blond crumpet.

He was extraordinarily beautiful in that drama, late 50s, when he was going undercover in Marseilles, I think.

He was heterosexual (and perhaps, slightly dumb). His second wife was a strumpet Australian sheilah who was as ugly as Juliet Prowse.

What about the goss between him and Visconti and Streisand and Julie 'Milk-Shake' Andrews?

he IS R14. I would hit that. that's a gorgeous 92

people we like

those lips, those thighs

He has the leering gaze of a homosexual.

doctor in love

so pretty SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

mACHO mICHAEL

He would have made a good James Bond

LOVE love love him in Visconti's SANDRA, with la Cardinale...wow, what a couple

[quote]LOVE love love him in Visconti's SANDRA, with la Cardinale.

Visconti wanted TAB HUNTER in that role - but the money people wanted Craig so he had to disappoint poor old TAB to whom he'd promised the role.

I thought he got much better with age. Loved the grey hair and still dark eyebrows...back in the day!!

You forgot that he was brother to Jenny Craig. How could you leave that out?

While we're on the subject of old-timey British leading men, Richard Greene was super hot!

He transitioned, changed his name to Yvonne, and became Batgirl.

He was in the campy Stolen Hours with DL fave Susan Hayward

^ She was 11 years older than him.

R32: he looks FUCKING hawt in that photo...fuck me senseless, Mike!

He co-starred with Streisand in Funny Girl in London.

I said he may be slightly dumb earlier at R17.

But I read his memoirs but they had no answers to all my questions at R17. There are no interesting details or gossip about Streisand, Rank, Bogarde or anything.

He and MISTER Natalie Wood co-write the script for that ugly film 'The Angry Silence' with was nominated for an Oscar in 1960.

“The angry silence” was a good film from what I remember having watched it once. Turns out I’ve seen him in the Visconti, “yield to the night” and “the angry silence”, I’m stew I noticed how handsome he is, but I don’t think his performances left mud got an impression as I think I’d forgotten he’d been in all three.

Dear R37, perhaps you were paying attention to your more phone screen than to the TV screen?

[quote] Visconti wanted TAB HUNTER in that role - but the money people wanted Craig

Altzo, when I hiyerr an actawr and develllop de parrrrt wid him, I do not expect him to fack Helmut

R35, Babs sure knows how to pick'em. Bitch.

Every Australian of a certain age knows him as “that old fart from G.P”

I want to say YYYUUMMMMMM

AND fuck yeah

sexy

Oliver Tobias

the 1970s version of M.C.

Olivier is gorgeous, I love him in "tis pity she's a whore", but I prefer Michael

Tis A Pity She's a Whore: The Aaron Schock Story

Handsome

Michael plays a shithead racist and sexist cop in Basil Dearden's SAPPHIRE (59).

And he's also very sexy in the role.

thanks R49. Link here

[quote]Michael plays a shithead racist and sexist cop in Basil Dearden's SAPPHIRE (59).

Is that from the novel "Precious," by Push?

[quote] shithead racist and sexist cop

The film-makers wouldn't use that kind of language.

But 'Sapphire' was considered as those particular film-makers' 'problem films'.

The problem film they made after Sapphire was called 'Victim'.

[quote]Handsome

I love how R48 has managed to find the gayest cloniest photo of him in existence.

He wrote a book.

R54, see R36

He's beautiful and I certainly know his name, but I can't remember ever seeing him in anything. For some reason, he draws a complete blank from me (and I love movies).

[quote] I can't remember ever seeing him in anything

He was kept in a stranglehold contract by the J Arthur Rank Organisation and forced to appear in their own small-scale films through the 1950s. It refused to loan him and Dirk Bogarde out to good film-makers.

Interview

^ He mentions how the worker was 'sent to Coventry' and then committed suicide.

Non-English people wouldn't know what that means.

He's handsome but rather generic. Forgettable. I don't get all the fuss here (though maybe it's just 1 or 2 posters).

I like him better with a beard.

Always projected a very male presence. Calm, strong, stalwart. The man of few words.

Even now I’d do him.

He was handsome and he has the same kind of nose as Mel Gibson.

Slightly prominent but not too prominent. Not as big as that Bradley Cooper.

He leers like a homosexual.

I will not trust him with my money or my familiy

one of the most beautiful men in the history of film. top 3. anyone read the book ?

I can't open R32 pic, could someone help, please ?

You don't need to open it. It's viewable on DL.

I can't see it

beautiful Oliver Tobias in the original london cast of Hair

Hello DL. this is Phillywhore!! 2 things to mention... 1-who is Michael Craig(why have I never seen him before). 2-When can I go to "Mysterious Island"& play with Michael Craig and all his friends on the island. Do they have direct flights there& any decent Hotels?

Isn't it Ironic, for all the sexy, stunning, beautiful handsome british actors of that generation, Alan Bates, Sean Connery, Oliver Reed, Michael Craig, Oliver Tobias, Albert Finney and so on and so forth, the one who really cracked America was dreadfully ugly Michael Caine ?

r69 Michael is one of the very beautiful actors of the 60's, he was a brother of Richard gregson, Natalie Wood's second husband, he was born in India, and was a huge star of Rank, rival to Dirk Bogarde, who was jealous that all the butch roles went ever to him. He was in the hugely popular "doctors series", in Visconti's gorgeous "Sandra", and many interesting movies of the era, then married in Australia and settled there. You never heard of him before because you weren't ready to behold the gorgeousness and worship at the altar, and because he's one of these actors who are quietly beautiful, like Sam Elliott, and don't make a fuss over it.

Dirk eye-fucking Michael

also R69, in Mysterious island, he's the last to take off his clothes, so you have to be patient, and Michael was an oscar nominated screenwriter, so brains and beauty

Theres a reason nobody has ever heard of him today; He's just okay looking. Certainly not swoon worthy. He's no Guy Madison ffs.

R74 = Guy Madison

My movaries have exploded

OMFG

Modesty Blaise

I want this arm up my butt all the way to the shoulder

[quote]brother in law to Natalie Wood

What kind of a douchebag brags about an in-law relationship

Brother Richard with wifey and DL saint Natalie Wood. Michael had all the looks in the family

Natalie was so beautiful, she should have taken Michael as a lawful husband. Natasha would be less dumpy

well well well, isn't that ...?

classically handsome in NO MY DARLING DAUGHTER

Link to the sublime SANDRA by Luchino Visconti. Michael is so very charming, dubbed in italian, Claudia is divine, and Jean Sorel, the most handsome french actor ever, surely ain't hurtin' the eye. You all do speak italian, like me, right ?

beauty overload

If you want to know how SICK anonymous people are, the OP of THIS THREAD doesn't believe that gay men are normal.

Here he is from the "A Gay man was just entrapped, raped and beaten by the Taliban" thread:

[quote]if they loved their sons, they wouldn't be gay in the first place

[quote]no woman who has a healthy, natural, loving relationship with her son produces out a gay son

The OP is a fucking sicko who hates gay men.

Oh HI crazy woman @R87, still raging mad I see ? did I hurt you so bad when I said you were stupid for not knowing how to quote ? wow, you're unhinged, gurl! have fun, contribute to ALL my threads, I'm enjoying that, you're my biggest fan

This is too delicious and hilarious. So, for whom it may interest , I told miss R87 that she was dumb as hell, and she's been here since 1995 apparently, still not knowing how to use DL. Since then, she's having the most spectacular meltdown known to mankind, and is digging through all my trolling to 'expose" me in every single thread, but the pain of being called "stupid " yet another time never heals....I'm laughing so hard it hurts...please, R87, MORE

oH WOW, sorry, back to Michael craig in a minute...bitch @R87, you HAVE A GAY SON !!! you're one of these cunts who feels entitled to be here to "understand your gay son" !! that's why you're so deeply hurt by my post...OMG I'm pissing myself laughing!!!!

I'm gonna like your post R87, so that you won't be the only one who did so. Such dedication

Please go read the homophobic OP's hateful anti-gay comment sin the linked thread.

Trying SO HARD to cancel me....that humourless cunt is pathetic. I made that comment about her gay son, and the guilt strikes so hard. You didn't love him and you know it, bitch

Not bad, but not nearly as handsome as you!

R94 thank you darling, I love you

'Michael Craig' had bad luck.

1. he was trapped in that Rank contract by the awful John Davis'

2. he didn't the intelligence or luck to do much with his career after Davis released him from that contract.

3. he was christened as 'Michael Gregson' but he was obliged to change his surname so as not to be confused with that rather boring man named John Gregson (with whom he starred once)

R95 You are such a sweet guy. Too bad the continents divide us.

If Dirk Bogarde was ever jealouse of Michael Craig, it didn't last long. Craig didn't prove to be much competition.

R98 Bogarde craved the lumberjack parts that were given to Michael, miss little whiny bitch thought she really could play them RMAOTF

You love a Great Dark man, no doubt r99.

Fuck yeah R100

I read an interview with Craig from an oral history book of British Cinema. He mentioned a kitchen sink movie that he got made to try to break out of the Rank Charm School projects. I don't think the movie found an audience. Was it about a whistleblower? Something like that.

^ The Angry Silence?

Yes, I think that was it.

I don’t speak Italian, so I had to turn on the auto-generated subtitles on Youtube. And I can’t agree that it’s sublime.

Everyone else seems to think it one of Visconti’s lesser efforts (along with White Nights’ and ‘Conversation Piece’). The original title is means “Glimmering stars of the Great Bear” and it’s supposedly about the disintegration of a decadent family so therefore the film is shot within the poorly-illuminated rooms of an ancient castle.

Visconti was obviously obsessed over pretty Jean Sorel and then in the sullen bimbo playing the main role.

And poor Michael looks abandoned and clueless on a set where everyone else speaks a foreign language.

Eh.. it's ROFLMAO.

[quote] miss little whiny bitch

They were both employees employed by John Davis who was the brains behind The J Arthur Rank organisation. Davis kept a low profile and this video is the only picture of him on the internet.

Davis decided that whiny bitch Dirk Bogarde was a better box office draw than handsome Michael Craig.

'Miss little whiny bitch' said some shocking things about Davis in his 7 volumes of memoirs that I don't know whether to believe them.

But even placid Alec Guinness couldn't contain his anger about vulgar Davis in is memoirs.

Flora Robson said something similar.

[quote] then married in Australia and settled there.

He was only getting rubbish roles in the late 60s are early 70s.

He moved to Australia from 1974 until returning to England around 2008. I assume because he wanted to die at 'home'.

He married that second wife in 1984 but I don't know if they're still together.

It's rare to see him smile. A very natural smile . . .I can almost smell him.

[quote] doctor in love

It's a lame, sloppily-written, unfunny sex-comedy from 1960.

Poor Michael has nothing to do except show his pretty face. He has no physique but he does accidentally display his penis for a split second at 20.05 minutes. But it's not worth the effort.

R80

[quote] What kind of a douchebag brags about an in-law relationship

Do you mention Bennett Cerf because he married somebody called Phyllis Fraser who was a cousin to Ginger Rogers?

I've found a copy of Michael's memoir, and he dishes so deliciously about Barbra that I feel sorry for y'all...

I think we've exhausted all the publishable picturse of Michael we can find on line so here's a picture of the very similar Ron Randell.

1. Handsome in a regular, unexciting kind of way.

2. Not particularly successful career.

3. Not British but not American.

4. Handsome, but perhaps rather dumb.

His biography on Wiki is a very long list of failures and near-misses at the fringes of fame.
