"He had immense & myriad natural gifts: a leading manβs face & figure; a slightly aloof mien that betrayed supreme confidence; a sonorous (not to say plummy) speaking voice; & exquisite diction."
~Bruce Weber

A fine portrait by Christian Anwander
"He could underplay on film because he knew how to play big onstage; he had long since mastered his register and was not afraid of extremes."

Christopher Plummer by Yousuf Karsh, 1959
Karsh also took a 1982 photo of Plummer as Iago & James Earl Jones as Othello, but I've never seen it.

A fabulous bad guy performance by Christopher Plummer in Darryl Duke's cult classic Silent Partner. If you're looking for a great Xmas movie that isn't It's a Wonderful Life or Die Hard, search out this 1978 film.

Christopher Plummer, Angie Dickinson, Anthony Quayle?
Count me in! I'd love to see this made-for-tv version of Dial M For Murder, shown on NBC in 1981.

Great chemistry between Christopher Plummer (Holmes) and James Mason (Watson), in one of my favourite Sherlock films, Murder By Decree.

Julie Andrews & Christopher Plummer in The Sound of Music, 1965
π· Douglas Kirkland
Pauline Kael noted the "archly decadent performance by Christopher Plummer - he of the thin, twisted smile; he seems to be in a different movie altogether."

He captures Christopher Plummer as the Baron perfectly! He also takes the time to make each child a proper portrait. I love Julie Andrews's outfit & haircut. And the kids!
