A wonderful tribute. Many thanks for sharing.

@jc2101 vaughan Williams-the Lark Ascending is the music.
What a wonderful documentary but quite alot of work not touched upon. For example,I love his narration in 'Robinson in Ruins' and 'London' dir. Keiller (1994) this role really utilizes the qualities of his voice,and ironic slant.

Does anyone know the musical piece that begins at 8:20?

@geraberl Cool. Imagine a large celestial body approaching and disturbing Earth's orbit. Astronomy and philosophy are one and the same. Study!

@GordonMorrice I agree, I was rather baffled that they didn't touch on his performance in 'The Train' and also 'Quiz Show' too.

It's too bad there were no scenes from his finest screen performance, as Tobias in Edward Albee's _A Delicate Balance_ opposite Katherine Hepburn and Kate Reid. His final speech in that film is breathtaking.

Is there background music in the Borkmann monologue?

I first saw him... I mean really saw him in A Man For All Seasons. I was an instant convert! My God, what clarity, what focus, what gravitas. It was, as it is now, my all-time favorite film. And thereafter, as he would show up in the odd film from time to time - as in Quiz Show - I knew I was in expert hands. A fabulous actor. Sir John, Sir Larry, Sir Richard; You were all great but you were no Scofield!

Thank you for posting this. It is a gift.
Thanks for uploading this. I saw it on the TV down the pub last week with the sound off and thought, "Damn! I had no idea this was on tonight!" so I was delighted to see that it appeared on my subscription listings two days later!
Scofield was an extraordinary actor. He's terrific in "The Train" (1964, John Frankenheimer) which isn't covered here.
