"Old Scratch" in Needful Things......excellent. Made me want a piece of apple pie. ty

Von Sydow was a great Jesus, and priest in the Exorcist because his voice has that unique
" righteousness "that makes everything seem true and grave. But he is extremely Swedish ( whatever that means to you). He could be one of family- serious, one might say humorless. I can imagine him at the dinner table. Silent save the ticking of a grandfather clock.

I remember when Max Von Sydow played Ming the Merciless in a modern adaptation of Flash Gordon. In the old serial with Buster Crabbe the role was played by Charles Middleton.

He and Brian Blessed were the best thing about that movie.:)

This interview could have been twice as long and still not long enough.

Thank you for the upload. One of the great actors that many know but are unaware of his name.

The wonderful way he brings up THE STORY...not his ability so much....but THE STORY. I am sure this was instilled in him by his folklorist father!!!!

So that's how to pronounce "Sydow"! Learn something every day! But what is the date of this interview?
