@MissAndressaBitelle-Thanks for this clip: One of my favorite movies. Absolutely no one,no one could go head-to-head with Yul Brynner in a scene and win. His presence and bearing totally dominated.
His distinctive “unnatural” acting style came from actively trying to suppress his Canadian accent. He was losing out on roles because of it, so he forced the desirable American accent which led to his unusual delivery
Great (LONG) Book to read and also the movie does it justice! (get the pun?) LOL - They are BOTH great. The story of the dog getting poisoned touched me deeply when I first read the book.
Yul trying to do the right thing. The movie does a great job covering the complicated plots in the book The Brothers Karamazov. This is a great scene and it seems like that in many of his movies he took advantage of his costumes so he could be half naked and we could swoon over his 6 pack. Which was terrific because he was so handsome! Just to be in the same room with him would have PRICELESS! Thank you for this post!
William Shatner's film debut and what a cast he launched his movie career with: Yul Brynner, Lee J. Cobb, Richard Basehart, Maria Schell, Claire Bloom. Also debuting in this movie was Albert Salmi, also a brilliant character actor but whose career and life would chart a far more tragic trajectory than Shatner's, and character actor Simon Oakland, a fixture on TV through the 60s and 70s most famous as Tony Vincenzo in Kolchak: The Night Stalker and Gen. Moore in Baa-Baa Black Sheep.
Once nice aspect of earlier to this scene is that alexei starts his walk during the day and arrives at night. It shows alexei's commitment to his brother.
Brenner is a great actor, his acting shows perfectly at the end of this clip. Many men can completely relate to his situation when he stands at the door letting the seductive woman leave while trying to repress his erection with a deep breath and firm grip on the door post.
I feel embarrased for the american culture who can only comment on this scene about star trek.... when so much important it is to point this is a so poor adaptation on the novel's chapter, which is anyways covering such a hard psychological and sentimental issue about human feelings. I Haven't seen the whole movie but just seeing this clip i know it doesn't deserves a view... so pooorly depicted, so short, so less time to express very complex situation. Such a shit the whole experience to watch the clip and reading the comments, fucking world!
I feel so sorry for snotty non-Americans who cannot have fun with a popular icon, because it detracts from your intent to impress others that you read the novel. So did I. But, tomorrow, I will wake up an American, and you will wake up still a Turdholian.
The ONLY way to properly capture the essence of the book would be via a mini-series (like the magnificient one about WAR AND PEACE). (Apparently there is a series that was done with THE KARAMAZOV BROTHERS in Russia : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pu5aa1b8rDo.html
