Ever see him in the 1971 version of "King Lear" or in "A Man for All Seasons"?

Amazing performances.

The latter is one of my favorite movies ever.

Here is a fact from Wikipedia about him: "A 2004 opinion poll of members of the Royal Shakespeare Company voted Paul Scofield's 1962 performance as King Lear in the play of the same name as the greatest performance in a Shakespearean play in the history of the RSC."

And I am not surprised. The man is A GREAT actor.

No I have not, but I'll buy them anyway if you're recommending them.

I am a fan of the work he has done since the early 80s and on.

"King Lear" is a bit difficult for people if they are not die-hard Shakespeare fans (like I am, admittedly) ... but "A Man for all Seasons" is a fabulous movie, well worth watching. I would DEFINITELY recommend the latter.

I would DEFINITELY recommend the latter.

Thankfully it is cheap too. Thats a plus.

 

[Mycanid]

Doesn't hurt!

Hi.

 

[Mycanid]

No ... it is all in English. The 1971 version was almost all in start black and white film footage with a heavy use of lighting and shadows - almost film noir style. Quite powerful.

Hello again Dog Moon!

Or did you not see the "hello" I wrote above?

Ah well - can't expect everybody to bother to play "catch up".

How are you today my good sir?

I did. Was just having some fun. And yes, considering I haven't really posted much in the last couple of days, I'm not gonna bother trying to catch up.
