Michael Hordern brought a wonderfully fussy, distinguished presence to British stage and screen and became one of the era’s most prolific, versatile character actors. Where Eagles Dare infiltrates a Nazi mountain fortress, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold sends a disillusioned agent on one last mission, I Was Monty’s Double recruits an actor to impersonate a general, and The Bed Sitting Room survives nuclear apocalypse in absurd Britain. Cleopatra and El Cid round out the list.
01 Michael Hordern is among the survivors of a nuclear apocalypse in this absurd, decaying post-war Britain.
