He was excellent. I'd also forgotten about him being in the Bond film, but I've seen that one a few times and, again, I could not fault his performance. He's a very versatile actor and... 90! It's hard to believe. I wonder if someone should hold a mirror in front of his face.Stevehttp://www.steve-calvert.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-32114102357035531312012-04-27T16:11:09.618-07:002012-04-27T16:11:09.618-07:00Being the high-brow critic, I take it that you neg...Being the high-brow critic, I take it that you neglected to mention Lee's portrayal of the triple-mammaried Scaramanga in the 1975 Roger Moore Bond flick "The Man w/the Golden Gun", on purpose. The Bond series at this point was starting to emphasize gadgets over character development, yet Mr. Lee's presense nonetheless added his usual panache. I've always viewed his reoccurring portrayal of Stoker's Vampire Count to be the definitive cinematic depiction. He brought alluring charisma to the part eighteen yrs or so before Frank Langella made waves as a heartthrob Dracula on Broadway.TriadGeenoreply@blogger.com
