James Mason Collection (ej svensk text)

A commanding presence from his earliest of screen appearances, Mason is widely regarded as one of the greatest British actors of all time. Famed for his rich, instantly recognizable voice and his brooding good looks which saw him described by Michael Powell as “the dark young god”, he brought a menacing intensity to the charming, villainous character for which he became known. His career took off with roles such as the uncompromising fireman Ted Robbins in Ealing’s wartime classic THE BELLS GO DOWN, and the saturnine Lord Rohan in THE MAN IN GREY, Gainsborough Studio’s greatest success. Moving on to a variety of roles, Mason appeared in Carol Reed’s acclaimed THE ODD MAN OUT, a tense crime thriller set in Northern Ireland, 5 FINGERS, a war time espionage film set in Turkey, starring Mason as a valet with sinister ambitions, and THE MAN BETWEEN, another classic Reed – Mason collaboration, which sees Mason traversing the seedy underbelly of post-war Berlin.
