My favorite Attenborough film is his first, 1942’s “In Which They Serve,” with Noel Coward and John Mills. Attenborough is a sailor who deserts his battle station during an engagement, but later redeems himself during another fight. Great WWII story and acting, both at sea and on the home front.
RIP, Big X.

Great actor. Rest in peace, sir.
Liked him in the original Flight of the Phoenix.

May God be with you Richard Attenborough...hope you were a Christian.
No floating on clouds...no eternal napping.;-)
In the Real Eden, life gets started for real, the way it was originally intended before humans messed it all up.
Not only actor but great director.

Yes, Energetic- for poor Jim Fowler.

Nice to see the article mentioning Brighton Rock, great film, great performance and one of the three best British crime/gangster films of all time.
As a Brit, I can list a long list of great films he was in, some not well known in the US: Dunkirk, Séance on a Wet Afternoon, Sea of Sand, Guns at Batasi, The League of Gentlemen....to name just a few.
RIP my Lord Attenborough.
Excellent movie. Not much heard of in my crowd, but I think it's way up there.
Of course, I'm 63

Yes, that’s how I’ve thought of Heaven, an active Eden of which we have awareness and in which we are conscious of those around us. Is it a personal Eden that is the most pleasant to each (in my house are many rooms)? It’s what I hope.
Try watching him in Guns at Batasi, its on Netflix. Won a British Academy Award for his performance.
