Terence Stamp was approached about the script for Song for Marion and visited the office. He dined with another cast member at a vegan cafe, discussing his character, Arthur, who struggles to express love. Stamp's character is based on familial influences and evolves through the encouragement of a younger character. He exhibited insecurities while displaying bravado, demonstrating the nuanced nature of veteran actors. His performance included a poignant singing scene that deeply affected the cast, showcasing his talent and emotional depth.
His character, Arthur, was someone who loved his wife, but always moaned, was always cantankerous, and found it very difficult to show love to his son.
When his wife dies, it's Gemma's character who brings him out of his shell a bit, and encourages him to sing.
When I met him, the first thing he said was, 'I'm only going to do one take. That's it.' But then, when you got to know him, he was like, 'Oh, don't be silly.'
When he sang Lullabye by Billy Joel in the film, he broke everyone. It was so sad.
