"The questioning had turned to Burt Reynolds' recent decision to pose naked in Cosmopolitan magazine. Ollie (Oliver Reed) revealed he’d turned down a similar opportunity and when asked why replied that it was because his dick was too big to fit on the page. ‘Prove it,’ demanded an elderly female journalist on the front row. Without hesitation Ollie dropped his pants and flashed the end of his knob. ‘Why have you stopped?’ the woman demanded to know. ‘Madam. If I’d pulled it out in its entirety I’d have knocked your hat off."
That quote is from Oliver's 2013 biography What Fresh Lunacy is This?, which I just ordered myself a copy of - it's too too ridiculous that at this point I've never read any books about Ollie's exploits.
Quite randomly I also came upon this bit about Oliver regarding the nude wrestling scene with Alan Bates in Women In Love (that's a scene we've dedicated much love to in the past of course):
Nobody uses the term "fiddle" anymore, that's a damned shame. So here after the jump I've posted a bunch of pictures of Oliver; let's all fiddle off there and back again...
"For the nude wrestling, Reed admitted to considering “a fiddle” in order to “enhance” his performance. However, after much deliberation, Reed simply challenged Bates to “get it out” in order to dispel any differences between the two actor’s cocks. Upon doing so, the pair decided there wasn’t much in it either way, and filmed the scene sans manipulation. "

What does Derek Jarman have to do with The Devils? It's a Ken Russell film. Is he in it? Was he on the crew?
He designed the sets. From BAM's website:
"Jarman created the dazzlingly imaginative production design for Ken Russell’s ultra-controversial shocker (based on Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudun) about a 17th-century French convent overcome with sexual frenzy and witch-hunt hysteria. An orgiastic spectacle of sadomasochistic sex and religious iconography, The Devils is a still-potent landmark of transgressive cinema. "
Thanks. I just looked it up on IMdB. I didn't realize he had anything to do with it. It's a scary movie. Oliver Reed is creepy in it, too.
OMG, simpatico, my friend. I just did a bunch of Reed, ummmm, research recently too after a viewing of Burnt Offerings that left me wanting to see more of his meaty frame. What a looker.
He's shirtless in the 1961 The Curse of the Werewolf too. That and Paranoiac! are my favorite of his Hammer Films.
