Hi,

It is with a sad heart that I have to mention that London Evening Standard film critic Mr Alexander Walker, has passed away, at the young age of 73.

He died peacefully yesterday evening, whilst undergoing tests for Cancer at the London Clinic.

Mr Walker frequently championed controversial films, when many other of his peers decided to take the easy option of simply lambasting them as "filth".

My sincere condolences are passed on to his family, his friends and colleagues, and all of his relatives too, in what must be a most difficult time. He will be sorely missed in the film reviewing world.
