Title: Alec Guinness, greatest actor
Review: Alec Guinness had a gift that most actors would love: to so fit a chosen role that there is complete transparency between the actor and the figure he or she is portraying. As much as I admire Katherine Heburn, Humphrey Bogart, and other great actors of the last century, they were almost always playing screen versions of themselves. I can think of only one other actor who may be able to mirror Guinness's ability right now, Carey Mulligan, who, of course, has many years and roles to fill before she can compare with Guinness.These (mostly) Ealing Studio comedies offer ample proof of Guinness's ability to disappear into the roles he is playing. When my own daughter went to drama school, I advised her that she could save money by simply watching and carefully studying Alec Guinness films.Buy this collection. You won't be disappointed.
