I remember George from "Five Golden Hours" with Ernie Kovacs - he was excellent in the role he played, at a sanitarium. George was his usual caddish self and winds up with Cyd Charisse at the end of the story.
I was on a tube in London, back in 1969...at Hammersmith Broadway George Saunders got on and sat down...he looked immaculate in smart casual wear. As the carriage was empty I went over and said what a fan I was of his work. We talked for about 10 minutes...he was so approachable and kept saying what a wonderful life he had been given and how Darryl Zanuck had looked after him...a highlight of my life.
Film Man.

He was very good in The Rebel as the sniffy art critic opposite Tony Hancock. Also the creepy butler in Psychomania. Not to mention his caddish turn in The Son of Monte Cristo.

I never thought such a lovely lieder as September Song could have sounded so awful.
