Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

Never seen the Sound of Music, but I can remember him as a Shakespeare quoting alien in one of the Star Trek films and he was in one of the Clouseau films so he was in some classy movies.

RIP

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

Brings back memories of being dragged along to see the Sound of Music by my then girlfriend, when the film first came out in the mid 60's. IIRC it was showing at the Capitol cinema in Queen Street. Didn't realise Christopher Plummer was Canadian.

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

Waterloo (as Wellington) and The Night Of The Generals stand out for me.

Brilliant actor and a very, very long career.

Sad loss - he was still working up to a year or so ago.

Re: RIP Christopher Plummer

He's in a fantastic film from 1978 called The Silent Partner. He plays an absolute psycho out to rob a bank but Elliott Gould as a bank clerk anticipates the robbery and steals the money ahead of the robbery for himself
Cue a tense stand off as Plummer hunts him down
Also Samantha Yorke is in it and she is bloody gorgeous and gets her kit off
I'm pretty sure it was on starview it was brutal in parts and Plummer is nothing like Von Trapp!

Yes. I remember him playing a sinister part, very unlike his von Trapp one, but couldn't remember what it was.
It was this. Great film :thumbup:

Agree about Susannah Yorke by the way.
Stunning woman!

Good innings, RIP.

Amongst all the singing and schmaltz it was a decent story based on fact. Didn’t mind it at all.

He was excellent as Sherlock Holmes in Murder by Decree.
