Arthur Lowe is one of them - and you have a 50% chance of getting the correct film.

orlok · 07-24-2016, 05:01 PM

Okay, I'll guess Kind Hearts and Coronets.

orlok · 07-24-2016, 05:02 PM

Not sure I can remember any more DA actors. I'll have a ponder.

Well guessed.

Quite correct - Arthur Lowe had a small role in "Kind Hearts and Coronets", as the reporter. It was one of his first roles, and the first for which he was credited.

Only one that comes to mind is Ian Lavender, but he would be too young for the Thirty-Nine Steps.

This one was actually born in the 19th century!

Another clue: in "The 39 Steps", he played a character who was at home in the remote setting.

Alfred Hitchcock?

Do I get bonus points if I once won a Rug Doctor for knowing 39 steps?

No, but you do get a free Rug Doctor.

The Scot because they go there in the story. I don't think it was Duncan Macrae, but can't think of the actor's name.

Bravo orlok for getting Dad's Army!

It's indeed the Scot - well done. His first name was John. Surname begins with L.

Yes, I was very impressed by Orlok's feat!

John Laurie. "We're doomed, we're all doomed!"

Bookpossum · 07-25-2016, 03:59 AM

Ah yes, that's it!
