Final Years
After completing what amounted to guest roles in two 1968 films, The Power and The Devil's Brigade, as well as top guest-starring roles in two episodes of the ABC/Quinn Martin Productions series The F.B.I., Michael Rennie moved from Los Angeles to Switzerland in the latter part of that year. His final seven feature films were filmed in Britain, Italy, Spain and, in the case of Surabaya Conspiracy, the Philippines. Less than three years after leaving Hollywood, he journeyed to his mother's home in Harrogate, Yorkshire, following the death of his brother. It was there that he died suddenly of a ruptured aortic aneurysm of the abdomen almost two months before his 62nd birthday. After his cremation, his ashes were laid to rest in Harlow Hill Cemetery, Harrogate.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
“Why it was that upon this beautiful feminine tissue, sensitive as gossamer, and practically blank as snow as yet, there should have been traced such a coarse pattern as it was doomed to receive; why so often the coarse appropriates the finer thus, the wrong man the woman, the wrong women the man, many years of analytical philosophy have failed to explain to our sense of order.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
