Alfred Lynch Movies
British character actor Alfred Lynch was generally cast in roles calling for a cockney dialect and a pugnacious streak. Lynch made his first film, On the Fiddle, in 1961, after which he worked in medium-priced films until the all-star epic 55 Days at Peking (1965). In The Hill (1965), a POW drama, Lynch was but one of many actors (including Sean Connery) speaking in British... (read more) vernacular so thick that one virtually needed subtitles to figure out what was going on! A more coherent Alfred Lynch could be seen in the Taylor-Burton The Taming of the Shrew (1967) and Sidney Lumet's 1968 filmization of Chekhov's The Seagull (1968). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
