 Denholm Elliott - The films, movies, cinema, theatre, biography of British movie actor
It's quite difficult to categorise Denholm Elliott except to say that he was a "scene stealer." He could play alcoholics, professors, clerics, soldiers, butlers and just about everything else.
With tight lips and taciturn glances, Elliott was the official who closed down Elliott Gould's burlesque house in The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968).
In 1984 Elliott was unforgettably waspish as the dying social lion who dictates his own death notice in The Razor's Edge (the role played by Clifton Webb in the 1946 version).

Hal Stanton (Elliott) is not just a client but also a close family friend, and Richard resignedly drags him out of his colonial boozing joint and tries to shake some sense of duty into him regarding his daughter.
The series really belongs to Elliott, a criminally under-rated actor, spewing wonderful monologues with great conviction, especially his last ones where he convinces Richard to break the letter of the law in order to protect the spirit of it, accusing his "prodding conscience" and blinded "law uber alle" mindset.
Elliott's performance is particularly poignant when you consider that he was already suffering with the symptoms of AIDS.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Adventures of Indiana Jones" DVD review (2003) Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last ...
A joyous succession of adrenaline-shot action cliffhangers, scholarly mystical mythology and spitfire romantic chemistry (all of which get spotlighted in the bonus disc), it set a classy, seat-gripping precedent that has never been equaled by the over-amped muscle movies that have been surfing in its wake ever since...
While "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" got a little too cute at times (who decided to turn Denholm Elliott's Marcus Brody into a bumbling clown?), the picture matches its originator in spirit, exhilaration and acting, what with the perfecto father-son antagonism between Ford and Sean Connery (a masterstroke of casting).
This movie returns the "Indy" series to its roots of thundering thrills (the tank chase and rescue), spiritual inspiration and perfectly timed humor.

Henry Fonda gets heavily billed for a brief guest appearance, but there are star performances such fine British character actors as Denholm Elliot, Ian Bannen, Ronald Fraser and Lance Percival.
This portrait of battle-worn men offers greater complexity than Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, while the jungle trek was more recently paralleled in Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line.
