I always remember Alan Bates fondly from 'A Kind of Loving' partly filmed in my town Preston.

Alan Bates was a legend.I cant believe he died such a long time ago.

[@joelangford7601]

Alan Bates --one of the greatest. A somewhat underrated figure in both theater and movies, at least in the U.S. He died relatively young, a big loss.

Mr. Langella's chapter on Mr. Bates in "Dropped Names" is more funny and loving than you can imagine.

Thank you for posting this. I wish I had known about it when I wrote my book on Arthur Penn, who directed this production.

[@cowboynyc]

Unfortunately, the rest of the cast was unable to rise to the challenge of Mr. Penn's laissez-faire approach to directing.
