#ManCrushMonday #BritishEdition Eric Portman

There is something soulful about Eric Portman in the two movies I have seen of his. Soulful in "A Canterbury Tale" and stone cold ruthless as a Nazi in "49th Parallel," his range is absolutely unparalleled. But there is something greater in his presence, and especially in the prior film. Those eyes, soulful in a character who struggles to separate the burgeoning relationships between the soldiers and the women of his town, do something almost spiritual in an already very moving film.
