Niven tears me apart in this.
He's so uncharacteristically fragile and so pathetic, and the pain in his eyes cuts right through your ribs. Even repulsed and unsure what to believe about him, you somehow wish you could shelter him from the whole world. #SeparateTables #TCMParty

David Niven was great in #SeparateTables and deserved his Oscar, but that same year he was even better—more subtly pathetic and rotting inside—in Otto Preminger's extraordinary BONJOUR TRISTESSE.
Niven tears me apart in this.
He's so uncharacteristically fragile and so pathetic, and the pain in his eyes cuts right through your ribs. Even repulsed and unsure what to believe about him, you somehow wish you could shelter him from the whole world. #SeparateTables #TCMParty
