THAT look Olivier gives the kid
when he says "Bear me on your shoulder". Just fantastic. I honestly think it's one of the most chilling facial expressions in cinema history. I always give that moment a couple of rewinds just to see it again.

shareIt really is, especially considering how jolly and playful he was with the kid just seconds before. It shows that even though Richard is a great actor (in the sense that he assumes different personas depending upon whoever he's around), his rage just spills over here. Such a great moment-- the soundtrack doesn't even need that loud sting when he does it. The expression alone is chilling.
shareI know what you mean. Scared the crap out of me when I first saw it as a kid. If pure evil had a human face, that would be it.
