Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

A fine actor indeed. I didn't see his Klingon role, but his Duke of Wellington in 'Waterloo' was spot on. 91 years is a fine old age, but sadly missed nonetheless.

PS: You have of course also to remember him as Captain von Trapp of the Austrian Navy in 'The Sound of Music' !!

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

I hate to say it but i've never watched the Sound of Music as im not a musical genre film fan!

Unless its "Paint your Wagon"!

But yes a fine actor who will be missed.

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

RIP Christopher Plummer, I wasn't fond of "The Sound of Music" (not my cup of tea) but he was superb in every part he played - even if the movie wasn't. The world is diminished by his loss.

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

Christopher Plummer WAS Wellington for me. A sad loss but he will live on in my house via the "Waterloo" DVD a couple of times every year.

I'm also not a fan of "The Sound of Money", it's really not my kind of thing at all. And, like the other musicals, any time I've watched it I've been extremely irritated by the fact that I sort of enjoyed it despite my concerted efforts not to. Best if I just stick to "Waterloo" and "The Battle of Britain".

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

Christopher Plummer was for me just like David Niven; they only got better as they got older in their roles. And they both entertained us right to the end. There were no movies they made I didn't like; just liked some more than others. No retirement for them. They went down fighting until their last line was acted out. Thanks for the memories!

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

Great actor -I never liked Sound of Music (do not think he did either) - can you believe in 1965 it beat out Doctor Zhivago for best picture.

A great Christopher Plummer movie is Murder by Decree (1979)- about the Jack the Ripper murders - James Mason, Anthony Quayle etc.
