How could you omit <Wendy Hiller> from the list?!! She's one of my favorite actresses, in two of my favorite movies... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030637

<William Roper>: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!<Sir Thomas More>: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? <William Roper>: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that! <Sir Thomas More>: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

Excellent movie. Great cast. |

|
| Aug-01-25 | | stone free or die: <saff> you do love the classics. Maybe I should schedule it at the next movie night. Now, as an aside, I'm not exactly sure about <perf>'s taste in movies, but Blanca seems to be a classic too. |

| Aug-01-25 | | stone free or die: "Which version?" - nevermind, you picked the Cary Grant / Rosalind Russell version. I'll have a look through the rest of the list later - I don't think I've seen a lot of them. |
|
Aug-01-25
| | perfidious: Reading lists of classic films tends to be repetitive and tiresome due to such constantly recurring numbers as noted by <saffuna>. |
|
Aug-01-25
| | saffuna: You might not pick up everything in "Long Good Friday" the first time, the accents are so strong. I had no clue what was happening until the very end, and maybe not even then, the first time I saw it, even though the commentary I have read say it was obvious early on. |

| Aug-02-25 | | stone free or die: RE: <Long Good Friday> A couple of items from IMDB's trivia section:
<Bob Hoskins' voice was dubbed over by another actor from Wolverhampton out of fear that Americans wouldn't understand his London accent. After Hoskins threatened to sue Jack Gill and British Lion, the dubbing was removed. He was supported by Richard Burton, Sir Alec Guinness, and Warren Beatty.> <This film is Pierce Brosnan's feature film debut, his part was supposed to be completely silent, but he improvised one word of dialogue, "Hi".> |

| | saffuna: <This film is Pierce Brosnan's feature film debut, his part was supposed to be completely silent, but he improvised one word of dialogue, "Hi".> Yes, but he did have a significant part. He held a gun on Hoskins for a long time in a key scene. <Bob Hoskins' voice was dubbed over by another actor from Wolverhampton out of fear that Americans wouldn't understand his London accent. After Hoskins threatened to sue Jack Gill and British Lion, the dubbing was removed. He was supported by Richard Burton, Sir Alec Guinness, and Warren Beatty.> Would have been terrible.
His rant at the American mobster would not be the same in American English: <"What I'm looking for is someone who can contribute to what England has given to the world: culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog, know what I mean?"> |
