Brilliant actor a great favorite of mine stole the show in Bridge On The River Kwai.
The most sensible thing for Major Shears to do is to go ahead and jump and hope for the best........ with or without parachute....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...very good,with or without parachute...hahahahah.
Yes,yes.. alas the old sod is not here among us lingering prats. Though he lives on through the screen, thank you for the post. Some of us cheer for him everyday still! :)
I like his films from the 50s, The Cruel Sea and The Long Arm were very good. In the last seven years of his life he was still doing some fine acting, albeit with his voice dubbed of course.
My favorite of his performances is probably The Prisoner with Alec Guinness. Granted I haven't seen The Cruel Sea, but he was really impressive in that one. His work in Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia is excellent too.
Yes, he was very good in The Prisoner although Sir Alec had the more intertesting part. Hawkins really was a very underrated actor, it's a shame he is mainly forgotten today.

When you kick a radio or tv set sometimes it makes it work because there could be a loose connection that makes better contact .
