the Prince of Tübingen is cheated
In honor of Stanley Kubrick’s ninetieth birthday today I thought it best to post some frames from a favorite scene from a favorite film, Barry Lyndon. Wolf Kahler plays the Prince of Tübingen, who has been cheated at cards by Barry, a humbly poised Ryan O'Neal, and the Chevalier du Balibari, shrewdly played by Patrick Magee, and threatens the cheat with a duel. In the candlelight, Kahler’s face looks as if it was sculpted out of wax.

Bob Hoskins undresses
This is a scene from Dennis Potter’s & Piers Haggard’s Pennies from Heaven (1978). In it, Bob Hoskins as Arthur Parker changes for bed while his embarrassed wife, Gemma Craven as Joan Parker, tries not to look at him naked as he tells her of being questioned by police in the rape and murder of an adolescent girl. The story ends with his wrongful execution for this crime.
