Meaning, he was from Egypt and yet he fluently talked so many European languages that he casually acted in European movies. Like in the French movie "Le Casse" where he plays a detective and you would think he's a French guy.
Yeah, pretty smart man. He was also a world class Bridge player. Although he was playing an Arab, (cast to type) I liked him in The Thirteenth Warrior.
I have just obtained the 1966 Russian version of War And Peace. It's 8 hours, divided into 4 two hour parts. Subtitles are OK, and there is also an English soundtrack. This film has the reputation of being one of the greatest pre CGI epic films.
Earlier today I was watching another great epic. John Woo's wonderful Red Cliffs. Don't know for sure if he used CGI.
