Helen Mirren Filmography
Savage Messiah
Role: Gosh Smith-Boyle
Like most young men of his generation, Henri eventually goes off to fight in the War. He is killed shortly thereafter leaving Sophie to her grief and regrets. The love story between these two unusual people is intriguing and sweet, that it ended so tragically is unfortunate. A gifted artist, the world lost a great talent upon Gaudier-Brzeska's death.
Mirren's character, Gosh Smith-Boyle seems totally unrelated to the main story. She may have been a real person but her presence seems an intrusion. Perhaps the character was added to lengthen the film and add some spice. That she does...by gosh!!
