How about Olivier, Sellers, O'Toole, Michael Caine, Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery, Daniel Day Lewis, Ben Kingsley, Alec Guinness and Cary Grant?

It was garbage.

All actors of the 40's and 50's, outperform all modern actors out there! Also, even a "B" movie of that time, is ten times better, than the best movies they make nowdays, from any kind of view. We live the era, where we have everything, but in reality, we have NOTHING, because they've turned us into beasts. We've lost our quality as human beings, because we lost all our virtues. There is no logic, no love, no respect, no patience, no nothing today....

Yes, indeed. I especially liked him in Bridge on the River Kwai. So much, in fact, that I travelled to Sri Lanka to see the locations for myself.

@@greekveteran2715 Very true.

He was a one-note actor.

@@JamesRichards-mj9kw Not many would agree with that. Yes, he typically played authority figures of a certain type, but his performances were often complex and subtle; unusual, given the limitations of the age and the subject matter, generally. Hawkins was a fine actor.

Yes America the great ,, and the great man Trump will win 2020 ....

@@SILENTLY9 Exactly what I was trying to convey in my post. Thank you.

Like me. It is very hard to find a modern movie worth watching. Killing is indiscriminate now and faithfulness in marriage means nothing.

@@SILENTLY9 OMG. Did he win 2020 ? I was out of the country and just got back.

Regards from 2023 🖐🤠

Got something against sex?

Takes good acting,not sex to make a good flick!!

@@leespang1126 takes lots of things, and sometimes sex is part of the whole process

@@davidhull1481 apparently in real life people are doing it all the time too, but lets leave it out of films

@@vanpallandt5799 Nah. When it fits, it’s good. When it doesn’t, it’s inappropriate. Never say never.

It's not you that's getting old; it's the new stuff without NY historical basis that's getting old!

A great actor who played in many wonderful films.

Take note smokers. Much less smoking now.

One of my favorite movies is "The Cruel Sea." (1953), starring Jack Hawkins as a destroyer skipper in the Battle of the Atlantic.

Yeah, that generation of men are gone. We won't see their like again.

Almost recalls to mind Kirk Douglas, after his stroke, saying, "What does an actor do when he can't talk? Wait for silent movies to come back?" As for Hawkins, thankfully, filmmakers still wanted him so bad that they arranged, with his total support, for certain actors to dub his voice in the movies he did following his surgery. He worked almost right up to the end, almost six years later.

You are absolutely RIGHT! ❤❤❤❤ Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦

Have you never seen Ben Hur?

Well said , I couldn't agree more Jack Hawkins was a fantastic actor May I recommend The League of Gentleman, another fabulous film of his which was copied in style by many others ,great acting ,great story & an all star British cast. You will love it .

Actually some good movies are still made like "Salt" "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" the version with Daniel Craig and quite a few others.

My Snottiest Bride? That would be ridiculous but I’m sure some fool would love it share it their ridiculous friends.

That’s exactly right, turn off tv and the computer on

Not entirely Hollywoods fault, its the people that want to watch that garbage.

I had TV discontinued from my cable provider several years ago and don't miss it a whit. From what I hear it just keeps getting stupider and stupider.

Marion ....great acting!

Basil rathbone the sherlock Holmes was a great actor

The Cruel Truth!

I am Dutch and 71 years of age and I agree with you! I loved his acting, too!

@Arthur Baldwin Jack hawkins was born in my area of North London, wood green. Like him as an actor, for he's from my neck of the woods.

Indeed she was gorgeous

She was so beautiful. Her poor soul OD'd in 1972 @ 38. She could've been Indgrid Bergman's daughter. Hollywood wipes the innocent & as Ingrid said: happiness is good health & a bad memory...

1:01:45 That's Michael Caine in a cameo appearance!

I always thought that Sean Connery would have been great in JH role.

BRAVO have not seen or heard that word used in a long time. Thank You

Berlin 1939!..??? Logistics facts

i'm 76, me neither. We were too young

I love them too. They had a lot orf character and class.

There is nothing weird in having an interest in history and classic cinema.

@James Henderson GBR was fighting the NAZIS (by themselves for years), giving YOU & ME Freedom of Speech. Thank you Great Britain. XXX OOO

Tony Ronald They are current.

snorkers good O

Also outstanding as Roman officer Quintas Arias in BEN HUR...

And as the Group Captain in Angels One Five.

He was unforgettable in the "bridge on the river Kwai" movie. Saw that when i was about ten or so and can still hear his distinctive voice "quite right" like it was yesterday.

Top English actors. Explore their work.

Always a pleasure to see arrogant bastards like myself trying to take over the world. Jawohl.

@@leelarson107 you can’t even take over your mom’s house.

Robbie Dellinger They're not old, Robbie - completely relevant to whats happening now or could happen as they're legend. Completely relevant to the timeless issues always confronting us - dictators wanting to subjugate peoples.

How true and a damn shame it was

BUT, he continued to act. His voice was dubbed by another actor

@@DmPmRr1959 : Yes, in the Western "Shalako"'with Sean Connery for example, he was voiced by Charles Gray, who also played Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever", which Connery returned for. One of the last things I saw Hawkins in was a BBC Courtroom drama, playing the judge. I think he had just had his voice box fitted, and it was sad to hear him. I watched it with my grandmother and she was nearly in tears. I think after that he decided to opt for voice overs.

@@DmPmRr1959 I am pretty sure that was the case with 'Waterloo.'

@@funkyalfonso I think you are right.

I was going to say that

Siddeshwar Prasad her part in Guns of Navarone was devastating I was so shocked at her betrayal I really hated the person that she played almost hating her she played it so well I just thought how could a woman do that to the people she was with simply because she didn't want to feel pain just blew me away

Great movie, excellent action and thrilling story line. Must have been scary to have been that double agent in real life. Thanks to ALL the people who fought & died for freedom

Stop shouting

Excellent film.
