BeautifuI, breathtaking lrene Forsyte: Men adore her. Women envy her. Love defines her. ErroI Flynn and Greer Garson head this lush costume drama - based on the first book of John GaIsworthy's The Forsyte Saga - about a woman who cannot cut her free spirit to fit the cloth of Victorian society. Originally slated for one of the romantic leads in the film, FIynn opted instead to pIay against type. He fought for the part of Soames Forsyte, Galsworthy's stuffy, imperious "man of property." As Soames, FIynn "revealed an unsuspected and admirable talent for characterization," recalIed an impressed Garson, who played Irene. "lf 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 ceIebrated film Iegacy. |
