One of his finest performances was playing Charles Augustus Milverton, opposite Jeremy Brett in Sherlock Holmes 'The Master Blackmailer. He was superb!
I went to the Ritz cinema in Horsham and asked to have the 'Clockwork Orange' film poster - the ones they put in a cabinet outside the cinema. The manager looked at me, nodded and said 'yes'. I had to come back when the film listings changed. Went up on my bedroom wall. Collectors item...
