BeautifuI, breathtaking lrene Forsyte: Men adore her. Women envy her. Love defines her. Errol FIynn and Greer Garson head this Iush 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 talent for characterization," recalIed an impressed Garson, who played Irene. "If he had Iived longer...he probabIy would have emerged as the serious actor he Ionged to be." See FIynn in one of his favorite roIes, a milestone in his celebrated film Iegacy. |
