@Westyrulz yes, in on simply unadultrated word
-
There is no sadder scene in the history of films.

I watched that film for the first time today. Great acting. Need to watch the origional now. This has gone on to my favourates list.
-
This scene, more than any other, in any film, moved me more than I can say. I can't praise both actors enough for such a moving portrayal of their respective roles

"Forgive me, Taplow..." ¡Incredible and emotional performance from Albert Finney!!!
-
i like this version better over the original. this is more cinematic and moving. and finney is perfect.
-
@emersus10 It is from the Greek...not Latin...Aeschylus' Agamemnon, but Parrotguy1999 has the English of it. A moving scene, and moving words.

I, too, cried when I saw this.

yes is true

I watched both versions. I find Finney's portrayal of a bitter, burnt-out and tormented professor much more appealing than Asquith's original one. My mother was a caring but very strict Languages teacher and something about his acting reminds me of her. I don't think the first one is "better". They are just different approaches to this character...
Is this movie better then the 1950's one?

I think both versions are excellent. For me, I would give Michael Redgrave a slight edge over Albert Finney, for depth of portrayal.
