Jan 24, 2024 · Explore the filmography of the versatile and talented British actor Dirk Bogarde, who starred in various genres and styles. Vote for your favorite movies, from classics like The Servant and Victim to lesser-known gems like The Spanish Gardener and Despair.
Having come to prominence in films including The Blue Lamp in the early 1950s, Bogarde starred in the successful Doctor film series (1954–1963). He twice won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, for The Servant (1963) and Darling (1965).
- Hunted (1952) Director: Charles Crichton. Although Basil Dearden’s The Blue Lamp (1950), in which Bogarde shot to prominence playing a police murderer, is the more iconic film, another early appearance as a killer, in Charles Crichton’s Hunted, afforded Bogarde a more substantial role.
- The Spanish Gardener (1956) Director: Philip Leacock. Philip Leacock’s adaptation of A.J. Cronin’s 1950 novel, The Spanish Gardener, saw Bogarde reunited with Jon Whiteley, his young co-star from Hunted.
- Victim (1961) Director: Basil Dearden. Given the contradictory nature of the distinguished actor’s private life and carefully managed public persona during an era in which homosexuality was still a punishable offence, Victim is one of the most symbolically important films on Bogarde’s CV.
- The Servant (1963) Director: Joseph Losey. The first of three collaborations between Joseph Losey and Harold Pinter, this adaptation of a 1948 novelette by Robin Maugham is a tight psychological drama – and a genuine contender for being the actor’s finest hour.
