There are many standout (male) actors but I would have to pick four as my absolute favorites:1. Laurence Olivier in one of his final roles as "King Lear." This may be the greatest single performance I have ever seen. This was not a theatrical release but was a British production shown in the US on PBS.
2. Clark Gable in "It Happened One Night." Arguably the greatest American (sound)comedy film.
3. Frederick March in "Best Years of Our Lives." One could vote for his performance in "Inherit The Wind" and I would not argue but his turn in "BEST YEARS" is as good as it gets.
4. Alec Guiness in "Kind Hearts and Coronets." The man was brilliant. He was every bit as good, and maybe better, than the great Peter Sellers.
I really tried to come up with something really special from the recent past and I did come up with a couple possibilities from the likes of Branaugh, Martin Sheen, De Niro, and Pacino. Some glorious stuff here but nothing that beats those on my list.
