Perhaps he had little experience of Shakespeare? Throughout the film, his delivery is monotone and one-dimensional, his expression rarely changes, apart from when he shouts at the top of his voice. His excellent and thoroughly merited reputation got him the part, but it didn't guarantee a good performance. Even the then 13 year old Steven Pacy as Lucius outshines poor Robards, in his small snippets of dialogue. This is a shame, as the other main actors aren't at all bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581099872724683650.post-68978202598458076112012-02-22T01:16:47.257-06:002012-02-22T01:16:47.257-06:00I thought he did a pretty good job :)I thought he did a pretty good job :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581099872724683650.post-15942566566520697142011-04-18T05:07:43.490-05:002011-04-18T05:07:43.490-05:00I know that look.
