The Silver Screen Oasis

What a wonderful yet underrated actor Edward Andrews was. One of those fellas who always brings a smile to my face when he pops up in something. He could play it wretchedly wicked (as in THE PHENIX CITY STORY), but even in his more benign roles (GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM) you somehow could never completely trust him. He just had that questionable quality about him.

And Alastair Sim. As the Christmas Season (too) fast approaches, what more need be said?
