...script by Anthony Burgess and top Italian filmwriter Suso Cecchi D'Amico ("Open City," "The Bicycle Thief," "Big Deal on Madonna Street," "The Leopard") makes clear the legal grounds for killing Jesus.

As a charming killer in Nothing But the Best or a Jewish prisoner in The Fixer, wrestling nude in Women in Love or incarnating the lonely spy Guy Burgess in An Englishman Abroad, he brought strength, delicacy, wit and humanity to each role. In films he often chaperoned showier stars (Anthony Quinn in Zorba the Greek, Lynn Redgrave in Georgy Girl, Bette Midler in The Rose) to Oscar nominations; he was the solid ground they danced on.
