Denholm Elliott's death scene


Wonderful movie! but Denholm Elliott's death scene was the most horrid thing I've ever seen put to film! Why did they leave that in such a otherwise wonderful movie!

You mean you didn't enjoy his cross-eyed dead guy look? It should have earned him an Oscar!

I couldn't agree more. It stuck out from the movie, I laughed when he kicked the bucket.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. It was just plain bad!

you children being used to see death only through the eyes of the pretty majestic hollywoodish style, where everybody just fall to sleep when they die, can't really appreciate the realistic mis en scene it was accomplished in this movie. Wait till you die, see how "plain bad" it will be then.

LOL, what about his face in the broken china scenes?
He hammed it up at every opportunity.
