The Great Peter Ustinov
- Share via
I should be mourning the death of Peter Ustinov (obituary, March 30) but instead am convulsed by his laugh-out-loud humor featured in your tribute. Also, in addition to the films mentioned, might I recommend “The Sundowners,” with Ustinov playing a charming nomad who is befriended by the likes of Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr?
As for his delightful published works, last month I sent a copy of the 1987 travel book “Ustinov in Russia,” featuring the actor’s commentary, photographs and line drawings, to a friend living in Yalta. “Of course, Ustinov is gorgeous!” was Vladimir’s recent reply, to which I respond, “Da, and amen!”
