In the fine tradition of such Hollywood players as Douglas Dumbrille and Richard Deacon, Australian actor AllanCuthbertson was expert in portraying icy, glaring officials at odds with more warmhearted heroes and heroines.
Cuthbertson was suitably condescending and sometimes downright nasty in such films as Carrington VC (1954), The Man Who Never Was (1956), Room at the Top (1959), The Running Man (1964), The Railway Children (1974) and The Sea Wolves (1981).
AllanCuthbertson always came in handy whenever American movie companies filming abroad needed someone to personify cold-blooded British propriety; the Guns of Navarrone (1961) and The Mirror Crack'd (1982) feature the actor at his supercilious best.
