Albert Finney on Saturday Night ...and as Daddy Warbucks, Winston Churchill, and Erin Brockovich's lawyer
Wonderful actor. I once sat across him at a restaurant in London in the late 1990s. I believe it was The Ivy. He was surrounded by booze, food and beautiful broads. He knew how to live.
Finney, a man in full. He was the best version of Perot in Murder On The Orient Express, most like the detective portrayed / depicted in the novels. I have four movie versions. Not to detract from Suchet’s Perot.
Loved him in Millers crossing.
He was great as Winston Churchill. Forget the name of the movie but it is very good one to watch. Set right before the war as he is trying to get back into politics and trying to warn his country of the dangers ahead with Germany.
I just watched Skyfall a couple of weeks or so ago. He was great. RIP, Mr. Finney.
I loved him as John Newton in Amazing Grace
Don’t forget “Tom Jones.” Four Oscars, including Best Picture (1963). I didn’t know of Finney’s passing;I think I’ll rewatch it tonight as a tribute.
