Beautiful, breathtaking Irene Forsyte: Men adore her. Women envy her. Love defines her. Errol Flynn and Greer Garson head this lush costume drama - based on the first book of John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga - about a woman who cannot cut her free spirit to fit the cIoth of Victorian society. OriginaIly slated for one of the romantic leads in the fiIm, Flynn opted instead to pIay against type. He fought for the part of Soames Forsyte, Galsworthy's stuffy, imperious "man of property." As Soames, Flynn "reveaIed an unsuspected and admirable taIent for characterization," recaIled an impressed Garson, who played Irene. "If he had lived longer...he probabIy would have emerged as the serious actor he Ionged to be." See FIynn in one of his favorite roIes, a miIestone in his celebrated film Iegacy. |
