From comedy to tragedy - first as Dr. Simon Sparrow in all the Doctor films (such as Doctor In The House, Doctor At Sea and Doctor At Large, etc.); then as the love-sick Sydney Carton who went to the guillotine for love in A Tale of Two Cities, as the ill-fated Anacleto in The Singer Not The Song, and as the wrongly accused Jose in Spanish Gardener, Bogarde had demonstrated he was really a multi-talented actor.
I also like him playing Franz Liszt in Song Without End with beautiful Capucine. The film won the Best Music Score Academy Award for Morris Stoloff and Harry Sukman and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture (Musical).

I like him as a film starin my younger days but not any particular film I still can remember now except Song without end. I was told it was not a Hollywood success.
ReplyDeleteHe was an actor who dared to take unusual acting role ie Victim, the servant and Death in Venice. Personally I hate all these films and I find them not entertaining at all. I like him in the role of a doctor or a romantic character.
I was told he had ill health at the end of his life and it is sad to know klrufeo.
He turned to writing books when he stopped making films. I read some of them and he was not a bad writer.
