…and Brenda Blethyn’s characters in Secrets & Lies was Cynthia, a working-class white Londoner. She did have black a daughter, though.
Price is magic in this film. He and Ronald Colman, two of the greatest voices in cinema history, acting against type = comedy gold.
Kerr. Taylor had a handful of great performances and also a few bad ones; Kerr had a couple of stinkers too, but looking at her overall career, she was one of the best.
Great actor and an incredibly charismatic star.
Check out ‘Champagne for Caesar’, if you can. Price displays an incredible gift for comedy in that one - he is hilarious. It also stars Ronald Colman - making it two of the greatest voices in Hollywood playing off one another.

Updated to note the passing of FRENZY actress Barbara Leigh-Hunt aged 88.
I'm pretty sure the first thing I saw her in was Evil Under the Sun, or possibly Death on the Nile.

Hard to pick a top three for an actor of Dame Maggie's calibre but I'll try...
- The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne
- A Room with a View
- The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
One of the greatest screen actors ever. An absolute legend. R
I believe that the most recent film I've seen him in is Saint Jack from 1979... I honestly thought that he retired years ago.
A trailblazer, great actress. R.I.P.
Well the first trilogy had an actual good film in it so I guess, by default, it’s the winner here.
Discounting Monty Python’s take, which is my favourite movie based on the legends - and captures so well the mud and shit that would have been so prevalent in daily medieval life - I’d say that the best is a toss-up between Excalibur and Bresson’s Lancelot du Lac.

Great though Sellers is in his three roles, Scott gives the best performance in the movie.
No.
Alec Guinness portrayed eight characters in Kind Hearts and Coronets, and I’m sure there must he plenty of other examples.
