Agree on all counts...Ormond is not hard to watch, and is also an underused actor, imo. Gabe does get a little more of a role here...still, imo, a small amount of overall screen time for an actor of his stature.
Mediocre is not a bad description, but I do find myself drawn into watching SS of Snow when it shows up on cable. "Coldest looking" movie that I can think of offhand.
One of the late Richard Harris' more subtle performances, imo.
Thanks,
Gary

to find a better director for that decade.
...even in beers.But I lost track of him in his later years - which ones of his later films deserve the attention? I think I started watching the Double Jeopardy, but something didn't work.
Big agreement on "Breaker" Morant, guys.Director Beresford recently did ...And Starring Pancho Villia as Himself...I think this was for HBO, and starred A. Bandaras, which dropped it from the "must see" list for me.
He also recently did that Pierece Brosnan Irish film Evelyn, which I thought was okay, but a little to precious. Interesting cast, with the exception of Juliana Margolis from tv's ER...badly miscast, with a equally bad Irish brouge.
I find it interesting how Australian and English actors (Kidman, A. Hopkins, Jude Law, etc) can do a credible American accent, while the reverse attempts usually end in disaster (re: Brad Pitt, in that really bad film with Harrison Ford).
All the best,
