There’s Always More Of Alec Guinness
In conjunction with a festival of the actor’s work at NY’s Film Forum, the Village Voice says: ‘Alec Guinness looks like no one, which means he can look like anyone. “Facially,” the great critic and journalist Kenneth Tynan wrote, “he is akin to what John Locke imagined the mind of a newborn child to be — an unmarked blank, on which circumstances leave their casual trace.” Few actors have been so elusive and so captivating at once, so microfaceted in their offhanded subtlety. No matter how well you think you know Guinness as a performer, there’s always more to see.’
