The Last Days of Man on Earth
Robert Fuest’s 1973 film plays out in the world’s waning hours; Trafalgar Square is dust, the Vatican has disappeared. Jon Finch plays Jerry Cornelius, a playboy physicist with a James Bond complex. His preening self-confidence is tested when the secret of his late father’s invention makes him the target of his own family. Fuest loads the film with memorable character actors including Hugh Griffith, Patrick Magee, and Jenny Runacre as Miss Brunner, a she devil who “absorbs” her lovers once she’s finished with them (don’t ask).
