If they find out you've seen this, your life will be worth less than a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory.

Rest in peace. It was always a good thing to see him in a picture.
One of the great a-holes in movie history!
Great performance by the actor. He had a great voice like early Sean Connery and Richard Burton.

Oh god, how could I forget. Maybe I should still just look at his IMDB filmography.

Last night, I streamed The Man in the White Suit starring Alec Guinness and Michael Gough. It was quite enjoyable, and a lot of fun to see those two in that kind of movie, in their younger days. The premise is that Guinness is working on an everlasting textile material that would be entirely resistant to staining. It's mostly a comedy, but its final act I found particularly poignant in light of today's economy. Well worth the viewing.
Thanks. I believe that's part of the Alec Guinness box set from Lionsgate (formerly from Anchor Bay).
