I remember him as the leader of the brits in “The Great Escape”. Also a great role in it for James Garner.

He took money from the Indian government for that movie and pretty much let them turn it into a pro-Hindu extremist propaganda piece.

“turn it into a pro-Hindu extremist propaganda piece.”
Yep. Especially the part where the Hindu extremists take over the Islamic town and behead Muslim males then proceed to rape the females.

One of my all time favorite movies is Flight of the Phoenix, with Jimmy Stewart and Richard Attenborough (and several other top names like Dan Duryea, Ernest Borgnine, Ronal Frasier, George Kennedy, and of course let’s not forget the dance scene with Barry Chase!) I thought Attenborough was brilliant in that movie!

Great, great actor. Anyone who wants to get creeped out check out two of his performances: “Brighton Rock” and “11 Rillington Place.”
To: NCDragon
Love Flight of the Phoenix. Good movie which takes place very close to...Benghazi.
To: miss marmelstein
Me too. Remember him most for Flight of the Phoenix. Great actor. RIP.
