#EdwardsMovieCharacterChallenge2025 Edward the Movie Buff 🎥🎞📽🎬💻 Apr 26/Day 116 Any movie character Gregory Wolfe (Robert Powell), magician, hypnotist, and modern-day Rasputin in HARLEQUIN (1980, Dir. Simon Wincer). Is he a charlatan or the terrifying real deal? The film doesn't say.

This remains the very best superhero moment of all time.

Despite Rathbone's comments about him, Daniell is a limp Moriarty for me. I much prefer George Zucco for Rathbone's Holmes, although Eric Porter remains the ideal incarnation for me.
