	A world of Hurt - Salon.com
		John Hurt shouldn't work as a love object -- it is counterintuitive to the general rules of attraction.
		While Hurt's flamboyant poofery is divine, it is Crisp's plucky courage to be so scandalously different at a time when such things were illegal and dangerous that is really affecting; the Dietrich-like dignity with which he suffers fools, the allergy for taking himself too seriously.
		Hurt told the Guardian of one contribution he made to the role: "I remember there was a bit of a conflict...

		His father was a Church of England clergyman, called upon to move from parish to parish, and Hurt lived until the age of 12 in the industrial countryside of the North, in a small village named Woodville surrounded by coal mines.
		Hurt made his London stage debut as Knocker White in Infanticide In The House Of Fred Ginger (hard to imagine John Hurt playing someone called Knocker, but there you go), and also his screen debut in the sensationally titled The Wild And The Willing.
		And finally, aside from that gem-studded CV and all his work for charity, John Hurt must be commended for his amused acceptance of one particular fact.

		Although Mississippi John Hurt was in his seventies when he recorded with producer Patrick Sky, he had lost none of his amazing guitar technique and his wistful, ageless voice is saturated in the illicitly distilled, deep dark liquor of American traditional music.

		He seemed to have a real affinity with the part, an understanding of a young man bewildered by his circumstances, probably because John's father was not happy with the direction his life was taking." A decade and a half later, Hurt turned in a show-stopping performance as Caligula in I, Claudius, also directed by Wise.
