Bob Hoskins talking on the phone as he sits on a bed shared with Helen Mirren

“I run London!” exclaims Bob Hoskins as the city’s ruthless gangster-in-chief Harold Shand, until he realizes (much too late) that he in fact does not. One of British cinema’s zenith achievements, The Long Good Friday slingshotted both Hoskins and Scottish director John Mackenzie to international recognition. Helen Mirren and a twenty-five-year-old Pierce Brosnan appear in early performances, yet it is Hoskins who excels as an affable hooligan (or raging chevalier) always on the edge of boiling over, accompanied throughout by Francis Monkman’s sensational electro-orchestral score.
