Talk:Alec Guinness

Kind Hearts and Coronets
How many roles? While the BFI article cited lists 9 roles, IMDb lists only 8. And in my most recent viewing of the film (the Studio Canal Blu-ray), I could count only 8, this reinforced by the cover art of a tree with the 8 silhouettes of those Louis needs to eliminate to become Duke. So why is BFI wrong? Anf if this error is corrected, who do we cite as the source? Signinstranger (talk) 11:57, 22 December 2020 (UTC)


 * 8 plus 1 generally is counted as 9?— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht Talk/Stalk 08:40, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Louis is played by Dennis Price, so you can't include his role. --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  09:46, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

 * My guess is that "The seventh duke, Ethelred's father, in brief flashback sequences" is the tricky one to catch while watching the film. Also that one is not portrayed on any of the various posters/DVD covers that I can find. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 17:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Tunes of Glory
Ah, this Talkpage causes some sadness and regret. But enough of that maudlin nonsense. Have just watched Tunes of Glory. What a movie! Highly recommended. KJP1 (talk) 22:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Alec Guinness was born in 1914, not 1936. Please correct your information.
