Interview with Alec Guinness (BBC's Film Extra program 1973) Part 2

[TheAnef88]

Such a magnificent actor and he proves that ego is totally unecessary to such genius. He is so modest and open, it comes across in his fascinating characters.

I agree with Guinness about 'The Man in the White Suit'. I think that was grossly underrated. But I thought he was at his best as Jock Sinclair in 'Tunes of Glory'.

[spooglywoogly]

The interviewer reminds me of chris morris in 'why bother' with peter cook. very similar tone of voice and slight roll on the R's .

[dicekpapi18]

I'd like to hear him narrate my life.

[elecomob67whip]

Gorgeous smile !

[jhibbitt1]

before star wars, i feel kind of sad that he ended up being so unhappy over the typecasting

[Eudora74]

I don`t understand why sir Alec regrets The ladykillers, I think Professor Marcus is one of his best works.

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

I wish him and Kubrick would have crossed paths.

"And I said, 'That's where you're wrong, because you people in films are only interested in types. You're not interested in anyone actually trying to act.'"

Boy, is that ever true.

''Another Ealing comedy was of course The Ladykillers. How do you think that went?'' ''I don't know, I've never seen it....''

[marshhen]

We is wonderful. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's people have turned me into a huge Alec Guiness admirer. I think he is a model for what so many actors strive to become. What a discovery to make long after his death.

[heipanhei]

[bigtool66]

He is too cool, Better than Rex Harrison.

[killerlady1955]
