Also, The Ruling Class -- flawed, but creepy and thought-provoking.<br /><br />And heck, his performance could almost salvage a movie like Supergirl.

He is part of a very short list of older actors that were truly special to their craft and we are lucky to have them forever preserved on film.<br /><br />SGB SGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-31356165911985489822013-12-15T14:26:33.347-05:002013-12-15T14:26:33.347-05:00Well said, Nowhere.

In some ways, it was a real tribute to O'Toole's greatness.John Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-74809012795098677792013-12-15T14:15:53.541-05:002013-12-15T14:15:53.541-05:00I'll miss him.

I think the first Peter O'Toole film I ever saw was the little remembered BBC production Rogue Male. The second was My Favorite Year - how about that for sampling a wide range of his acting abilities in a short time?<br /><br />Side note: I didn't like Prometheus anywhere near as much as you did (nor did I feel it was anywhere near as bad as so many others did) I was really impressed by Michael Fassbender's performance when he was modeling himself on O'Toole in Lawrence Of Arabia.nowherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125582590094636085noreply@blogger.com
