Good write-up on O'Toole in BBC's "Casanova"

O'Toole as the Older Casanova

Guardian UK has this to say about O'Toole in the BBC's "Casanova", in which O'Toole plays the renowned lover in his twilight years:

"...In a stroke of casting genius, Peter O'Toole, looking spookily like the painting Willem Dafoe must have in his attic, plays the ageing lothario with a galaxy-worth of twinkles."

The Herald has a good notice too:

"How can you lose with a film that contains both Venice and Peter O'Toole?"
...
"What really lifts the production, a film better by far than BBC Three has ever deserved, is, first, the acting. O'Toole, languid as ever, still has the ability to let you see the embers of passion blazing in his eyes."

And here's a short bit from the Belfast Telegraph:

"Peter O'Toole played old Casanova with charming menace."
