略歴
An English television and film comic actor whose career dates back to the 1950s and is best known for his role as bigoted socialist Eddie Booth in Love Thy Neighbour.
Miranda's Father
由緒ある英国バッキンガム宮殿である日、大事件が。王室諸氏の記念撮影中、落雷で全員が感電死してしまったのだ。慌てた英国は、急いで王の後釜を据えるのだが、それは偶然抜擢されたアメリカの観光客で、彼は単なる品のないピアノ弾きだった……。珍妙な王位据え替えを軸に展開するコメディで、監督は「スティング」「ミラグロ/奇跡の地」等の脚本、「メジャーリーグ」の監督として名高いD・S・ウォード。J・グッドマンのキャラクターに頼りすぎたせいか、少しアイディア倒れの感があるが、気楽に見る分には良い。脇役にP・オトゥール、J・ハートといった曲者が並んでおり、こちらの怪演は楽しめる。
