A character actor in many films, often portraying nobility, he had a starring role in the film Seven Days to Noon (1950). He also played Mr. Lundie in the 1954 film adaptation of Brigadoon, and Polonius in the 1953 U.S. television adaptation of Hamlet. This is a vintage black and white photograph (5.25" x 3.25") signed and dated ("With all good wishes, Barry Jones, 1959") in blue ink across the top of the image. The backgound across which he has signed is busy, reducing readability. Priced accordingly. RARE
