Guinness RULES. I love the Ealing Studios films a lot, esp KIND HEARTS, LADYKILLERS and LAVENDER HILL MOB. I used to like the film of HORSE'S MOUTH until I read the novel, and now I can't watch it anymore.
His battle of wills with the equally brilliant Sessue Hayakawa in BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI is the real reason to see the film. That moment after he's released from solitary, where he barely manages to walk upright across the camp is one of the highlights of movie acting for me.
