John Gielgud and James Mason in '11 Harrowhouse'
Фильм және анимация
John Gielgud disliked making movies in his early career, preferring to act Shakespeare and other great roles on the stage. However, in his later life he often took small roles that amounted to cameo parts in such films as '11 Harrowhouse' where he plays the head of the Diamond Exchange in London. Here a disgruntled employee (James Mason) who knows he is dying of cancer, conceals himself in the vault overnight so to as to assist an American burglar (Charles Grodin) in stealing the entire stock of diamonds. In this scene (which also features Jack Watling, Peter Vaughan and Jack Watson) Gielgud discovers that all his diamonds are missing. (From a 20th Century Fox film made in 1974 and issued on a Shout Factory DVD: uploaded as a tribute to Sir John Gielgud with all due acknowledgements.)

"But sir, two of the directors are on holiday." "I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE ON POT!"
It is indeed a great privilege to watch two greatest actors of Britain.Thnx for sharing such a nice quality video.👍👍👍
Bravo, Sir John.
2 great British actors. Mason had a nice voice
A beautifully acted "worm turns" scene, where Mason, who has suffered throughout the film under Gielgud's chilly rule, gets to defy his authoritarian boss. Very satisfying to see him screwing up Gielgud--because what does he have to lose? Two prime actors at their best!
“I don’t care if they’re on pot!!” 😂😂😂😂 LMFAO 3:23
Thank you for your reply! I viewed your upload of “11 Harrowhouse”, I must admit to not knowing of this, obviously, excellent film! Thank you for sharing, and making the time to upload for us! Be well, JSE.
WONDERFUL THANK YOU !!!
Great movie, brilliant cast 👏😊
Also nice to see Peter Vaughan!
Gielgud and Mason had a unique rapport not exploited by filmdom. The possibilities were endless, with each able to easily fit different roles. Actually they would have made a good Holmes,( Gielgud), and Watson,(Mason). 'Oh ye casting agents of little faith'

They actually did, only separately. John Gielgud played Holmes on radio (archive.org) - alongside Ralph Richardson as Watson and Orson Welles as Prof. Moriarty. James Mason played Watson on-screen, with Christopher Plummer as Holmes.
amazingly well done
James Mason est un des meilleurs acteurs Anglais, avec Sir Christopher Lee !
I need to see this!
fantastic
Jack Watling! Haven't seen this film, looks good
HOW did I miss this?!

Probably because it's not a very good movie and this is the best scene in it!
Eloquent, articulate & debonair mold was broken after James Mason, perhaps reason he wasn't knighted was he registered as conscientious objector during WWII

Gielgud overacts, and Mason keep shis cool, and shines, God bless him!
If I remember correctly they lowered a long tube and vacuumed out the diamonds, with Mason's help.
Have been trying to find the film for ages, alas to no avail. (I refuse to go near Amazon.) Nice to be able to see a clip at least of the old masters.
BURTON AND MASON BEST VOICES EVER
John Gielgud and James Mason? Couldn't the have found a couple of better actors for this movie? Well, no...I suppose they couldn't.

Hi, Can you upload the whole movie? I would love to see it. I am a big James Mason/John Gielgud fan. (I refuse to go near Amazon as well, and would love to see it online). Thanks!
"Oh I see".
This excellent 'it takes a thief' theme film should of been remade more recently, but i dont know any blonde actress that do comedy wit and intelligence with model type beauty,,,,,as well,,,,Possibly JLAW??? Plus the american actor,, that would be an easier choice since many nowadays could fill the Grodin role....
Gielgud has a woody
Does this plot remind anybody else of the movie "Flawless" with Michael Caine?
It woz Grouty wot dunnit.

Mason sounds ridiculous saying "sir". Clearly he should have been given Gielgud's role.
So much talent wasted in such a rotten film.
