Gap-toothed, dark-haired, moustachioed British comedian whose exaggerated upper-crust accent, benign but foxy expression and long cigarette holder were all the part of the act. He started as a dance extra, but in post-war years gained a reputation as a stand-up comic (always prefacing his act with 'How do you do') before successfully tackling character comedy on film, alternately playing blustering idiots and wily rogues. In poor health in his final years.
