Charters and Caldicott, the two lovable upper class Englishmen who appeared in classic movies - The Lady Vanishes, Night Train to Munich, Crook's Tour and more
If youre a fan of The Lady Vanishes then head down to Abergavenny on Tues 2nd June. There's a talk about the author Ethel Line White - she wrote The Wheel Spins which is what The Lady Vanishes film is based on. https://t.co/q3vJ2XtaT8
On this day in 1942, Ealing Studio's war propaganda film "The Next of Kin" opened at London's Pavilion Cinema, with cameos by Charters & Caldicott actors Basil Radford & Naunton Wayne. https://t.co/AkWm0M9tvN
@daveainsworth63 I particularly admire his film work as part of a double act with Basil Radford: ‘Charters and Caldicott’, a pair of quintessentially British cricket-loving gentleman.
Film of the day - Passport to Pimlico (1949) Classic Ealing comedy written by T E B Clarke starring Stanley Holloway, Margaret Rutherford, Hermione Baddeley, John Slater and the always brilliant Charles Hawtrey @BBCTwo 1.45pm this afternoon #CharlesHawtrey#TEBClarke
Remembering the Welsh character actor #NauntonWayne who was #BOTD in 1901. Together with Basil Radford they created Charters and Caldicott, the upper-crust, cricket obsessed gentlemen characters that appeared in a selection of films.
