Deleted scene from Chariots of Fire - Ian Charleson and Robin Pappas

It's interesting to see in this and in the audition scenes that they chose to not have Eric show the passion Ian could add to the part. It keeps Eric's personality very distinct from Harold's. Also, it's nice to have a tiny sample of Ian's graceful dancing.

I'm glad this was deleted.  It doesn't fit.

That is Robin Pappas! Mother of Singer-Songwriter & Actor Nellie McKay.

This is great. Should have been left in.

So the girl must be Claire - his Canadian future wife?

@LittleDragon2000 His wife's name was in fact Florence.
