The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1969)

Christopher Plummer's best "beefcake" role!

[11 March 2004]

If, like me, you fell in love with Christopher Plummer while watching The Sound of Music, Royal Hunt of the Sun is a definite must-see! As the Incan ruler Atahualpa, he's wearing very little throughout the movie and his body is absolutely breathtaking! He hasn't played that many "beefcake" roles or done many scenes that show his physical attributes, but this one definitely does! Where was People magazine and their "Sexiest Man Alive" contest when this movie was out??? Christopher Plummer would have won hands-down, no doubt!

All that aside, his acting is excellent, too. This movie re-tells this sad chapter of history very well and very accurately.

Battle of Britain (1969)

It's worth watching just to see Christopher Plummer!

For the most part, this is a boring war movie, though a good history lesson. However, it's worth sitting through just to see the sexy Christopher Plummer at his most gorgeous! Great cast line-up, too, including Michael Caine, Susannah York, and Sir Michael Redgrave, just to name a few!
