It's interesting. I didn't get the sense that he had much interest in raising his profile the way his contemporaries Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart have done. Like them he was a big part of one of the most storied franchise film series in cinema history and triumphed in all manner of classical and modern masterpieces. But their obvious love of the attention that chat shows and premieres bestow on actors never seemed to fit him very comfortably. He had the shy, shambling modesty that might have been a result of never really being a hot young leading man. He seemed to arrive on the scene middle-aged and then never really changed much in the intervening sixty years.
I'm glad I can go and watch THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER and THE SINGING DETECTIVE. I'm sorry I can't re-see VOLPONE and SKYLIGHT and THE CARETAKER and A NUMBER and ALL THAT FALL. And I'm gutted to have missed all his Ayckbourns and most of his Pinters and especially his Galileo and Eddie Carbone.
What a career! "The Great Gambon" indeed..... |
