One of my favourite movies is The Trial, but also almost all of his movies filmed in Europe. Goodbye again, Five miles to midnight, Phaedra...sadly he was pretty underrated in his own country while being pretty much adored and popular in Europe...sadly we'll never know how things would go for him as a movie star if he stayed in Europe...specially because of what he realised back in the USA that the world out there is pretty much about competition and all that. Still he will remain for me as one of the greatest and the most beautiful actors from his soul to his outside look. That's my humble opinion. 😊
