Alex Russell was in The Fall of the Louse of Usher as an adult (OK in a gorilla suit) and as a child in films such as The Music Lovers.
Thanks for that, as I missed him, and he probably has the most roles in any of the Russell children in his father's films. Also . . .
Billion Dollar Brain
Women in Love
The Devils
Savage Messiah
Mahler
Tommy
But, it is another group of children I want to talk about. While there are a number of directors that have done scenes that featured sex between adults and children,
Russell, as a percentage of his films, has probably done more than any other. It being featured in . . .
The Devils
Louis XIII (Graham Armitage) and his page-boy, who is, apparently, also the king's catamite.
The one I missed the implication upon first seeing the film.
Mahler
The old roue watching the boy in the sailor suit at the train station.
In homage to the film "Death in Venice."
Tommy
Uncle Ernie (Keith Moon) and Tommy Walker (Roger Daltry)
Perhaps, chronologically too old to be a child, but mentally still a child.
Salome's Last Dance
Salome (Imogen Millais Scott) and John the Baptist (Douglas Hodge)
Oscar Wilde (Nickolas Grace) and the Pageboy (Russell Lee Nash)
Not the actors, but the characters most likely still being children.
Lair of the White Worm
Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) and Kevin (Chris Pitt)
The lady and the boy scout.
Why Ken's interest in the subject is anybody's guess?
