My Take
What draws me to David Farrar is less his leading-man looks and more the quality one obituary singled out: his gift for revealing the weakness and humanity inside figures of authority. That is a rarer talent than heroism. In the Powell and Pressburger films, he carried an interior shadow that made his men feel real rather than iconic. I find that kind of actor more durable than the matinee idols of his era, because complexity ages better than charm. He left us in 1995, but those quietly conflicted performances are exactly the sort that reward rediscovery by a new generation of film lovers.
