My favorite O’Toole role is in the little seen and underappreciated MURPHY’S WAR. Skinny Irishman versus a Nazi submarine. Don’t pi$$ off the Irish!
O’Toole has created an amazing body of work but “Murphy’s War” was the first film to come to my mind while reading this thread. I don’t think any other actor could have brought the intensity and determination to the role that he did. Absolutely nothing was going to stop him from sinking that submarine! Great film.
One of the better war movies ever made, IMO. The book was good, too.
I haven’t seen that movie in ages but remember it fairly well.
