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.

My favorite film that York has starred in is Cabaret. Primarily because I always enjoy musicals and because he gave an amazing performance!
I’ve never seen a Michael York movie but this one sounds really interesting!! Plus anything with Angela Lansbury is a plus.
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!
My first and favorite Michael York film is Romeo and Juliet (1968.) Murder on the Orient Express (1974) is another favorite film of mine. I have never seen Something for Everyone (1970) but do know it is a cult black comedy that sounds like a riot! Plus I love Angela Lansbury.
I would have to choose Logan’s Run, because for all of its cheesiness and very dated 70’s attire, it still had something to say about gender and the boundaries of age. And you can’t go wrong with Jenny Agutter.
I’ve seen Michael York in several films but none of them seem to stand out for me for his performances per se. And I think that is actually a strength from my viewpoint. He could be counted on to give a consistent, solid performance that maybe didn’t steal the show but certainly added to the overall completeness. Just a regular go-to guy, if you will. IMDb listed him as having 163 actor credits from 1967 and still going!! I’d say that is a successful career.
I do not have a Twitter account, so I am posting here to enter but cannot tweet the message.
Very impressive career… from Shakespeare to The Simpsons 🙂 Thanks for entering and Good Luck!
I did enjoy him in Romeo and Juliet as well as the Three Musketeers. I have not seen this film so would enjoy receiving this Blu-Ray and watching another adventure! I enjoyed listening to him on the TCM Cruise.
Gotta be 1976’s Logan’s Run. A great bit of sci-fi for sure.
It is hard to choose just one. I like Logan’s Run, Murder on the Orient Express, & The Musketeers films to name some. I have never seen Something for Everyone. I did enjoy Mr. York on Gilmore Girls too. I should probably mention the Austin Powers movies too. : ) It would be nice to win the Blu-ray signed by Mr. York. Thanks for the chance to win.
Smashing Time, which clearly inspired Michael Myers for Austin Powers. Micheal York plays Basil Exposition 30 years early.
Hi Jim, Can’t seem to find your tweet. Please confirm that you tweeted — and if you don’t have a twitter account, just let me know… Thanks!
The first movie I saw Michael York in was Great Expectations, so that one holds a special place for me because I’ve loved him since!
It is hard to choose, but I would have to say Zeppelin is my favorite of Michael’s films because it’s a great blend of adventure, humor, and heart.
To be honest the only films I’ve seen him in were the Austin Powers films… but I’d love to see him in his starring roles! I don’t want to just know him from the slapstick comedies he was in. He has raw talent and this movie would be a great start.
It would be a tie between The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers. I loved his performance as D’Artagnan in both films.
It’s hard to narrow down Michael York’s work to one single film favorite, but I suppose my selection would be The Three Musketeers due to York’s charming balance of heroics and humor.
Hi William, I can’t seem to find your tweet. Could you please confirm that you tweeted, or let me know by commenting back here if you don’t have a twitter account. Thanks!
Never mind… Found your tweet 🙂
I love many of the characters Michael York plays:
In Cabaret as the unrequited lover of Sally Bowles,
As an avid fan of Law & Order, Criminal Intent, he was fantastic as the dapper pathological antagonist.
As a memorable John the Baptist in Jesus of Nazareth.
And as a Sand,an in Logans run…a crush at that time and a Samson to his Delilah!
Hi Linda, I can’t seem to find your tweet. Could you please confirm that you tweeted, or let me know by commenting here if you don’t have a twitter account. Thanks!
Hi Annmarie, I originally had a tech issue, then saw it here. Do I need to do it again?
You’re good to go! Good Luck 🙂
Gonna have to say Logan’s Run. Such a well written, clever Science Fiction flick.
Logan’s Run with The Island of Dr. Moreau a close second. Of course there is Romeo and Juliet, the Three Muskateers…WHY do you make these so hard??? 🙂 I love the earlier syfy moves, pure talent no CG effects. The actors had to actually ACT.
