The resemblance between Peter Finch and Albert Finney is amazing


Can't believe that wasn't Finney playing Finch.

Haha, yeah, my parents thought Beale was Finney. What's difficult is not only reminding people it 's a different actor, but having to explain who exactly Peter Finch was. He didn't do very many famous movies and isn't much remembered today, outside of this movie.

I just watched the movie today for the first time. I kept thinking Peter Finch looked familiar but when I looked at his acting history there wasn't much I recognized. If it wasn't for you posting that I wouldn't have thought of Albert Finney but it makes perfect sense.

Lol, I agree, I kept thinking of Finney watching him, even their thick curly luscious hair is similar.

They are both brilliant actors, and I don't see more than a superficial resemblance.
