Yes he played a great bad guy.

I'm surprised he was still alive last week!  I think the last film I saw him in was Ice Station Zero.

Long time since you've been to the Movies, Clive.  I saw him in True Colours which he made in 1991.  He would be 76 and looked great.

This is very true Lona.  Back in the 60's and early 70's I never missed a film but I'm not too keen on all the gratuitous violence and bad language that seems to be mandatory in recent years.  I'm afraid that I blame a lot of the ills of modern society on graphic films, TV and computer games.
