About the film: Newly re-mastered in HD! Seduction and Murder Scandalizes German Nobility! The great Angela Lansbury (Murder, She Wrote) and Michael York (Cabaret) star in this slick blend of drama and black comedy with a fairy tale setting in a Bavarian castle. In post WWII Germany, the aristocratic Von Ornstein family has fallen on hard times. Countess Von Ornstein (Lansbury) can’t maintain her castle, but things begin to look up with the arrival of a handsome and young footman named Conrad (York) who apparently can do “anything” asked of him. Determined to become a member of nobility, Conrad one by one, cons, seduces, corrupts and compromises everyone who crosses his path. Set in the authentic 100-year-old castle, this polished mix of humor and suspense with a great twist ending truly offers Something For Everyone. Legendary Broadway producer, Harold Prince (West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof) made his feature film directorial debut with this handsome production written by Hugh Wheeler (Sweeney Todd) and based on the celebrated classic novel, The Cook by Harry Kressing.

I’ve never seen a Michael York film but this looks like a good one to start with!!
I think it should be a fun one 🙂 Thanks for entering and Good Luck!
My favorite Michael York films are Richard Lester’s THREE MUSKETEERS, FOUR MUSKETEERS, and RETURN OF THE MUSKETEERS. Lester’s films are grand aventures, laugh-filled, and the most faithful adaptations of the Dumas books. The casts of the movies are amazing, led by Michael York as the perfect D’Artagnan!
Good choices! Thanks so much for entering and Good Luck 🙂
I know this will sound so cliche to say Cabaret but it’s truly my favorite. He was the consummate actor here. Debonair, handsome, a perfect genetlema. I thought he perfectly balanced Liza’s more eclectic character. He was able to command the screen simply and effectively by not being overpowering if that makes sense.
Oh yes, he did such a great job in Cabaret! Thanks for entering and Good Luck 🙂
I loved Michael York as Tybalt in ‘Romeo & Juliet. Those eyes! That presence!
He was so convincing, I really hated him in his role. But that made me admire him so much as an actor! His birthday is coming up–so glad he is still with us!
To be quite honest, I haven’t seen that one yet… but I am putting on my never-ending watch list! Thanks so much for entering and Good Luck 🙂
I really love many of the characters Michael York plays…
His role in Cabaret as the unrequited lover of Sally Bowles
Annually, I watch Jesus of Nazareth and his portrayal of John the Babtist is memorable.
As an extreme fan of Law and Order Criminal Intent, he was strikingly pathological as the antagonist criminal.
Oh, and Logans Run….he was my hero in that movie, and a crush at that time. The Samson that meets his Delilah
My introduction to Michael York was Cabaret (and then I was delighted when he popped up as a guest on various episodes of Gilmore Girls!). I’m more of a 1920s-1960s (early ’60s) film fan, so getting to know more of Mr. York’s work through this opportunity sounds divine to me. Thank you!
He was wonderful in Cabaret, wasn’t he?!? Thanks so much for entering and Good Luck 🙂
Yes I would like to enter the FB/Blog portion of the contest also. Same comment I made via the Twitter section. You are right, Annmarie. He has a very impressive, varied career. It must be fun for him.
Thanks so much for entering Shelia and Good Luck 🙂
Logan’s Run definitely; Excellent 70s Sci-Fi film!
Hate to say this, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it… If I did, it must have been ages ago… But it seems to be a favorite of so many, I’ll have to add it to my must see list… Thanks for entering and Good Luck 🙂
