That Face

I think of Laurence Harvey as a one-dimensional actor.

He broods.

He also evinces a raw sexuality every time he enters a room... especially the Room at the Top.

As TBG said - he's effortlessly commanding the space, while doing nothing.  

Simone Signoret is brilliant and the photography is often very special, but the best part about the movie is that face.  

We paused for a bathroom break with this on the screen.

TBG came back to the couch to find me staring, rapturously, at the frozen image.

I took a picture so that we could continue watching the movie.... and so that I could share that face with you.

His acting doesn't do much for me, but, oh, that face.
