RIP Herbert Lom

[romantico]

He was one of my favorites. Best known as Chief Inspector in the Pink Panther movies, I loved his work at Hammer and him in GAMBIT.He did lots of smaller roles and was just one of the those actors who could do anything. Plus, I LOVED his voice.

His was also the first Phantom of the Opera movie I ever saw.

I really liked his Phantom but then again, I am a true lover of Hammer films from the 60's and 70's. Herbert was such an underrated actor, IMO.

RIP Mr. Lom. He's wonderful in the original Ealing Studio version of THE LADYKILLERS.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Oh, yes! And I just rewatched it two nights ago!

[Roscoe]

Reg -- that LADYKILLERS just never gets old, does it? And the whole cast is great, even Danny Green as the big fighter has some wonderful moments.

[Reginald Tresilian]

I'd somehow managed to forget that it's in color. I was shocked.

(And mind you, I own this DVD.)

Don't forget that he originated the part of the "King" in the "King and I" in London.
