I also am a fan of him as Lord Marchmain (Sebastian Flyte's father) in the exceptional 1981 British t.v. miniseries Brideshead Revisited. He was spot-on perfect in that.

He was also one of the greatest 'scenery chewers'.

For sure. He shared that in common with (for example) the Barrymore brothers.
