Regular readers know that I’m a loud and proud Dirk Bogarde fan and for the last 12-years or so I’ve written about a number of his films and shared plenty of Bogarde related links and photos here.
To celebrate what would have been Bogarde’s 97th birthday I decided to compile some links to the things I’ve written about the actor and his films along with other various bits and bobs. If you do a deep search I’m sure you’ll come up with other things but here’s a few highlights:
