Quote • JOHN HURT on ALEC GUINNESS • Kind Hearts and Coronets
Kind Hearts And Coronets – Digitally Restored (80 Years of Ealing) [DVD] [1949]
“I chose this film because Sir Alec Guinness proved for about the first time how effective an actor can be in going to a character on screen as well as on stage. I hate it when actors play themselves rather than get into their characters.”
John Hurt paying tribute to Alec Guinness at a special screening of the Ealing Comedy, Kind Hearts and Coronets, at the Electric Cinema in London’s Portobello Road, part of the Grand Classics season. Evening Standard 6 July 2006.
