	dOc DVD Review: Time Without Pity (1957)
		His son, Alec (Alec McCowen) has been tried and sentenced to death for the murder of his girlfriend, Jennie Cole (Christina Lubicz).
		David, whose neglect of Alec has become as reliable as the ticking of a clock, knows his son would never do such a crime, and sets out to prove Alec's innocence before he takes a trip to the gallows.
		The film's standout performance is clearly Michael Redgrave, whose disheveled David emotes the perfect mix of desperation and haphazard detective work, all the while using every ounce of his being to resist the urge to dive into the nearest bottle (alcohol is frequently shoved in his face by those he interrogates).

	Intelliflix: Rent Frenzy on DVD
		In modern-day London, a sex criminal known as the Necktie Murderer has the police on alert, and in typical Hitchcock fashion, the trail is leading to an innocent man, who must now elude the law and prove his innocence by finding the real murderer.
		Jon Finch, Alec McCowen and Barry Foster head this British cast in the thriller that alternates suspense scenes with moments of Hitchcock's distinctive fl humor.
		With a solid script by Anthony Shaffer (who went on the next year to write the brilliant The Wicker Man) and the usual pitch-perfect direction from Hitchcock, Frenzy is an interesting murder mystery.

	Alec McCowen at Hollywood.com
		British stage actor Alec McCowen paid his dues in the provinces throughout the 1940s, finally taking his first London bow in 1950, then traveled to NYC with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh for his Broadway debut in "Anthony and Cleopatra" (1951) before appearing in his initial film, "The Cruel Sea" (1953).
		The highlight of two seasons at the Old Vic was his portrayal of Mercutio in Franco Zeffirelli's production of "Romeo and Juliet" (1960-61), and when he moved to the Royal Shakespeare Company, he played the Fool to Paul Scofield's "King Lear" (1962), roles the two would reprise on Broadway in 1964.
		McCowen sealed his reputation with two enormous hits at the end of the decade, Peter Luke's "Hadrian VII" (1967-69) and Christopher Hampton's "The Philanthropist" (1970-71), bringing both plays to Broadway, earning Tony Award nominations and winning Drama Desk Awards as Best Actor for each.

		Paul Scofield is absolutely extraordinary as Lear as is Alec McGowen as Glouster and Kenneth Branagh as the Fool.
		In 1994 there was a BBC Radio set with John Gielgud, Judi Dench and Eileen Atkins (again) in those three roles; while a late addition to the Arkangel Complete Shakespeare series gave us Trevor Peacock, Penny Downie and Samantha Bond, Peacock giving a more domestic, less grand reading of the role.
		As the parallel set, we have Alec McCowen (Gloucester), Richard McCabe (Edgar), and Toby Stephens (Edmond).

		Instead of being innovative and challenging, Romanowski observes a "shallow wholesomeness" emerging from such well-intentioned efforts.
		Famed English actor and solo performer Alec McCowen arrives at a similar conclusion.
		In the early days of rehearsal, I inevitably fell into the trap of making Jesus sound 'holy' and 'self-righteous.' This is a well-intentioned error that has led many professional actors astray--to say nothing of the clergy and readers of lessons in churches.
