#WATCHWITHCUSHING! SURPRISE! It has been often said that, typecasting hung around
Christopher Lee for quite some time, maybe until later in his career
when, he believed there was a little more flexibility. Personally, I
always thought the majority of his roles, were often quite different,
the genre may have been somewhere in a shared ball park, but I wouldn't
say his role as the evil Edward Blake in 'I Monster' was the same as
say, Francisco Scaramanga in 'The Man with the Golden Gun' or even the
role of 'The Monster' in 'The Curse of Frankenstein' was in any close to
Kharis in 'The Mummy' . . In this interview, he makes his point in
discussing how he always tried to surprise his audience.. which I think,
he in most cases certainly did. Over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE HERE I have asked everyone if there is a role they can remember,
where Christopher Lee played this card very well.. and surprised you?? And there are some surprising answers 😏😊
A ROLE THAT ALWAYS seemed quite different to me was Christopher Lee's role in his own production of the film, 'NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT' with Peter Cushing. His playing of Colonel Bingham almost seems like an extension of his character in the 1970, 'SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN'? you can still catch one of these films in our PCASUK #WATCHPARTY post at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE!
