#BornOnThisDay one of the finest actors of his generation (and what a hell of an acting generation it was), John Cazale (1935-1978). Such a small and yet perfect filmography as well. #BOTD
Get yourselves over to @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social by 9:30am for Grand National Night (1953), Nigel Patrick being Nigel Patrick in this little gem of a #BritNoir. It’s also known as Wicked Wife… and if you’ve seen Moira Lister’s character in this you’ll know why. #FilmNoir
