Though his piercing blue eyes and tousled hair made him a defining sex symbol of swinging-sixties Britain, Terence Stamp was more than just a pretty face—he was a transfixing screen presence who brought an unmatched elegance, restraint, and existential gravity to works by some of the defining directors of the twentieth century. His brooding intensity and enigmatic, sometimes sinister ambiguity are on display in this selection of career highlights, which include his celebrated performances for Italian auteurs Pier Paolo Pasolini (TEOREMA) and Federico Fellini (TOBY DAMMIT) from his ’60s heyday as well as later triumphs in acclaimed crime dramas by Steven Soderbergh (THE LIMEY) and Stephen Frears (THE HIT).
