From “The Guardian" interview with Rod Steiger" at the National Film Theater, 23 August 1992, reprinted in “Rod Steiger" by Tom Hutchinson page 215.


"My favorite actor that impressed me was a French actor. An incredible talent named Harry Baur….And Harry Baur when he did “Les Miserables" and played both parts…That I would love to have…This man had the ability to stand still, and he’d make a universe around himself. Incredible."
