Being one of many American anglophiles, I enjoy checking out British tv, movies, and literature. I was looking for any movie with Alastair Sim in it on youtube (I've only seen a few), and, not finding much, I noticed a movie with Janet Munro (who I know from Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People, and Swiss Family Robinson), so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's called "Life For Ruth (1962)", and is a tale of a couple who live their religion which bars blood transfusions, even when their 8 year old daughter is involved, and the legal consequences of such an action/inaction. Not bad as a movie, but early on, in the first 15 minutes of the film, there was this fellow with a familiar, friendly smile that I was sure I knew from somewhere. It took a few minutes, but of course it was our Seymour (Michael Aldridge), playing a doctor in a small town hospital. Nice seeing him so young, but then, at 1
17 into the film, none other than Brian Wilde shows up in an un-credited speaking role as a newspaper photographer who's rather dashing and hard-nosed. You never know who you'll you run into in some of the old films.
