In Reply to: An amazing performance in the title role; has any actor aged as well, as posted by tinear on December 1, 2009 at 14:55:42:
I agree. The performance really makes it work. Successful agers too are Dustin Hoffman in "Little Big Man," and Brad Pitt in "Benjamin Button," though the latter film is inferior. Another film was "Yankee Doodle Dandy" with 2 top notch agers in John Huston and J. Cagney playing father and son. Like a recent thread, commending actor's mastery of foreign accents, actors who can play different well ages is a rare skill.
