Bad Timing - Theresa Russell and Denholm Elliott - Farewell on the bridge

[@ManCave1972]

One of my favourite films, and one of the best scenes of that movie. DE was such an underrated actor. Roeg an underrated director. Perfection.

[@MrDravenLee]

Denholm was one of the best actors of all time.Everything he is in is great. Rest in peace.

[@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz]

He was in a lot of good stuff, but if you think everything he was in was great you should check out the 1978 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles or Michael Winner's version of The Wicked Lady!

[@MrDravenLee]

@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz I will do.

[@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz]

@@MrDravenLee Sweeney 2 is another less than great film I remember seeing him in, which was a spin-off from the Sweeney TV series but not as good. He was one of those actors who worked all the time and wasn't too picky about what he was in, providing it paid, so I'd say his filmography is quite a mixed bag. This film, Bad Timing, is quite an odd one which had a very mixed reception and was quite controversial, despite having some highly regarded people in it like Theresa Russell and Harvey Keitel.

[@MrDravenLee]

@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz I have seen bad timing. I agree. Donald Pleasance took on everything he was given too. Some films are awful and are only really remembered by certain performances.

[@timdixo]

Played with understated perfection, such an exquisitely powerful and emotive scene.

R I P Denholm Elliott who would now if he was still with us be 100 today ,As Remembered in Raiders of the Lost Ark as Marcus Brody ,Hard to believe it's 30 years now since he passed away,Part of the Greatest Generation also ,Sorely missed 🥺🥀🌹💐

What an actor Mr Denholm Elliott was. I saw A Murder of Quality, The Signalman and this particular scene and I became a fan. His expressions in this scene, Pachelbel's Canon in the background and of course Ms Teresa Russell's acting too make me revisit this scene again and again. This is a perfect scene in a movie in my view.

[@Lucretciela]

It's an amazing scene. I want to run after him.

[@kartikamarjeet2082]

😊😊😊

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

That's one of the most beautiful scenes ever. What a brilliant actor he was..

[@37Mirko]

This scene is fantastic! I loved Theresa Russell so much!

[@TheMarieferrantino]

What a wonderful and adorable actor was Denholm Elliott. Gone too soon.

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

You can feel the pain....

[@marclaw4511]

That was a damn good movie scene.Theresa and Denolm played it perfectly.

[@randomanimallover3196]

I'm not usually a romantic person but if someone looked at me the way Denholm looked at Theresa, I'd probably be reduced to a blubbering mess with mascara running down my face!

[@Lucretciela]

Me, too. I want to run after him.

[@TheGodParticle]

Despite den being gay, he really nailed it as a broken hearted heterosexual. Incredible actor. Very missed.

[@pacman5698]

According to sources he was bisexual.

[@TheMarieferrantino]

Yes, he was actively bisexual.

[@randomanimallover3196]

TheGodParticle He was bi (married twice and had children.) Having said that, I always thought he was gay until I looked him up: love Denholm Elliot, there's something so...lovely about him.

[@mary.bx19]

Derpy Dem I don’t know why but he seems so kind

[@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz]

When I first saw this film, I thought he was supposed to be her father, given that he was born in 1922 and she was born in 1957.

[@Captain_Rhodes]

Ill watch Theresa Russell in anything. Most of her films were actually great too

[@hilaly.1659]

Very, very pretty

[@scoobidoo78]

Johann Sebastian Bach Pachelbel's Canon☺

[@palcumex]

No JS Bach.

[@samcoral8061]

Pachelbel composed this Canon,not Bach

[@WinChun78]

You would think Denholm Elliott and Peter Sallis were brothers....

[@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz]

I know what you mean, but the British actor who most reminded me of him was Robert Hardy actually, though he was less well known in America.

[@DanielGuiney]

I should know this ... what is the music? Wonderful scene.

[@colectivonmc4909]

Pachelbel's Canon

[@TheKingofDirk]

​@@colectivonmc4909for as long as I can remember I thought ths was Bach

[@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz]

@@TheKingofDirk Pachelbel was what would now be called a one-hit-wonder. But quite a hit. It also features in another Denholm Elliott movie I saw in the '80s, Defence of the Realm, though that was a faster tempo version. I prefer this version because it's sadder.

[@TheKingofDirk]

@@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz it is beautiful and so well known, I'd never heard of pachelbel until now

[@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz]

@@TheKingofDirk I used to work with a young girl who had this played at her wedding. I don't think she knew anything about classical music but she'd obviously heard of and liked this piece.

[@MatthewMaloney-fj4zz]

It's a nicely played scene, but I do think Denholm Elliott was totally miscast as an Eastern European in this film. He was the quintessential English upper-middle-class actor.
