Newest Review: ... I believe the film would not have become what it has without his input. Alec has played a wide range of parts, from Julius Caesar, Sigmund Freud, Adolf Hitler, all the characters in ‘Kinds Hearts and Coronets’, and even himself. Alec is almost unrecognisable as Fagin in ‘Oliver Twist’ – testament to his skill.
