RIP.

 

He was a great British acting talent. Very versatile....My favourite film with him was Séance on a Wet Afternoon, as a brow beaten husband of a neurotic wife; but was also great in Brighton Rock as a menacing gangster

I don't think he resented the 'luvvie' image that the media foisted on him either, in spite of his obvious thesp abilities, he never seemed to take himself seriously

I always enjoyed seeing him appear in small roles in the excellent films In Which We Serve (1942) and A Matter Of Life And Death (1946), the latter arguably being the best film ever made, just to remind me how long he'd been around. But for me his stand out moment was the lead character 10 Rillington Place (1971). And then there's Flight Of Phoenix, and ... and ... RIP.

 

Oh, and keep an eye on your brother and make sure he keeps on working whilst I'm still alive.

I've not seen the first two films you've mentioned, but his performance in 10 Rillington Place was creepy beyond belief, it made my skin crawl!
