Criticism has rightly considered the role of Alvaro better for all ten years of the actor in a movie.
In 1957, Lancaster, after a series of positive characters in the film director Alexander Makkendrika "Sweet smell of success" brought an influential newspaper columnist, a man of power and violent, ready at all to achieve the goal. Lancaster wanted to convince the audience that can play diverse roles. But the picture in the office collapsed, bringing the company substantial losses.
Outwardly, Bert seemed rude, primitive. But his friends testified to the contrary. For example, when "Dance Magazine" appealed to him with the question "What does it mean for you to ballet?" Response Lancaster, fans of this art form, has a professional: "The art in general are most attracted me to identify individual creator. In the dance is through it takes a huge physical energy, which is the springboard for a true identifying the psyche, the human person is revealed in all its naked. "
Cases organized by them, together with Hektom company went brilliantly. In a few short years earned a tremendous amount of partners - thirty-five million dollars. But in the late 1950′s Lancaster suddenly closed the company, mainly because he was always acting work.
In the film "Elmer gaiters" Lancaster has created sharply satiric portrait prohodimtsa constantly evolving profession, until he becomes a preacher. "In this role, Lancaster has surpassed himself, showing the different facets of the hero - says cinema E. Kartseva. - It turns gentleman and a fraud, became ill and protective father, was something immensely confident in themselves, then stayed on the brink of despair. " Burt Lancaster won the Oscar. "
Victory for him, and was next role - a former Minister of Justice of Nazi Germany Ernst Yanninga in the Stanley Kramer film "The Nuremberg process" (1961).

The next hero Lancaster - Robert Straud prosidel nearly half a century in prison, and not only not broken, but found the strength to become the largest ornithologists. The actor wrote: "Straud who is always himself. And this is important in a person. " Directed by "lovers of birds Alkatrasa" (1962) J. Frankenhaymer said: "I think that Burt Lancaster - one of the most hardworking people with whom I had to meet. He - a true professional, very understanding of all that makes ... When the role of the nature of his talent, nobody can play it better ... In "Lovers of birds from Alkatrasa" it spread to the limit. The role of liked him, and in my opinion, he coped with it well, even though Robert Strauda it was much harder to translate on the screen, than, for example, Elmer Gentri.
For the role of a prisoner Strauda actor was nominated for Oscar. " This time he chose Gregory pitch.
Straud, played with great psychological depth, Lancaster finally brought in a number of Universal artists. Luchino Visconti, invited him to Italy to play a major role in the film "The Leopard" (1962) - aristocrat Prince Salina. American actor entered the atmosphere of Sicilian life of the mid XIX century. It is as if absorbed in the atmosphere of a carefully examined all the memorable places of Palermo, read many books on the history of Sicily and garibaldiyskomu movement.
In Lancaster were language difficulties: he makes remarks in English, as partners, of course, he answered in Italian. Visconti advised: "Do not worry to Duke, though he himself will come to you." Finally came a time when Lancaster could say: "It happened. I feel like it takes me all the stronger by the day. "
Perhaps in no other film is not so evident is amazing plasticity typical of this actor. Lancaster creates a true aristocrat. Visconti wrote: "The prince was very complex: at times - tyrannical, brutal, strong, at times - a romantic, well, all knowing and sometimes even silly, but always mysterious. All of this applies to Bertoux Lancaster. I think that Bert - the mysterious man, whom I met in my life. "

Two years later, Bert has Mela Beykersfilda in screening Heili sensational novel "Airport". As noted by E. Kartseva, Lancaster was able to show his hero in a matter of passionate obsession that hides under an unexpressed sadness rights, under the influence of circumstances, forced to give up the illusions and hopes. "
In 1974, Luchino Visconti, invited Bert Lancaster in the movie "Family portrait in a room" - the latter, which appears on the screen during the lifetime of the producer. The actor rarely noble, so quiet personal dignity, which is rarely produced on the screen, plays the role of the old American professor living in Italy.
Another great Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, remove picture "XX Century", proposed to Lancaster помещичьей the role of patriarch of a rich family, a man degraded, vpavshego in marasmus, is almost degenerate.
Bert only rarely spoke about the creative problems and is not often agree to appear before television cameras. He did not like social events, although this was a Hollywood star: receive astronomical fees, often appeared to have continuing success with the public. Lancaster has never liked to flaunt their private lives. He was harsh with the press. And do not give her any opportunity, no reason to talk about a naughty stories.
Meanwhile, his kinokarera successfully continued. The film "Bridge Cassandra" was released on screens in 1976. Its funded by Carlo Ponti, set - the director George Kosmatos.
