The Horse's Mouth

The Horse's Mouth

1958, Movie, 1h 35min

In Ronald Neame’s film of Joyce Cary’s classic novel, Alec Guinness transforms himself into one of cinema’s most indelible comic figures: the lovably scruffy painter Gulley Jimson. As the ill-behaved Jimson searches for a perfect canvas, he determines to let nothing come between himself and the realization of his exalted vision. A perceptive examination of the struggle of artistic creation, THE HORSE’S MOUTH is also Neame’s comic masterpiece.
