I've only seen McGoohan in two other movies (Escape from Alcatraz, Braveheart), so I'm not a McGoohan expert, but...geez. The whole movie I kept thinking, "Orson Welles," "he's trying to sound like Orson Welles," "he thinks he's Orson Welles." Did anyone else get this vibe, or is he always like that?
I've learned that every rooster has his Spain, that it's located under his feathers.
I don't think he sounds anything like Orson Welles in this movie.
shareExactly. I thought he was trying to impersonate Orson Welles. I havent seen him in other movies, so I cant say if he does this in everything.
shareThat might explain why he pronounces the words "scanner" (ssscann'r) and "assassin" (assssssass'in) funny. Now that I think about it, maybe he's actually trying to be Sean Connery.
shareYou must watch the BBC tv show the Prisoner, he is wonderful. Iconic Show.
shareI don't believe so....that is his unique, halted way of speaking (and pronouncing) and he has demonstrated many times before.
Watch Silver Streak as an example...
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
no. he's doing patrick mcgoohan.
