Sir Alec is, for me, eight characters: Ethelred, 8th Duke of Chalfont, The Reverend Lord Henry d'Ascoyne, General Lord Rufus d'Ascoyne, Admiral Lord Horatio d'Ascoyne, Lord Ascoyne d'Ascoyne (Banker), Lady Agatha D'Ascoyne (Suffragette), Young Ascoyne d'Ascoyne, Young Henry d'Ascoyne... All in the same film!

Sir Alec Guinness is, for me, five characters: the double of Mario -my father's best friend-, the unforgettable man on a white suit, the poor desperate professor from Ladykillers, the hilarious blind Jamessir Bensonmum, and the so loved and respected Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The letter you have chosen is a delight!
