Inhalt:

Born in Edinburgh, Alastair Sim began life as the academic he was often to play on screen. Briefly in the family tailoring business, he was soon involved in teaching poetic drama in his native Edinburgh. ln his late twenties Sim came to London, and friends, seeing him perform in amateur productions, urged him to turn professional. Sim came to the fore with the three popuIar lnspector Hornleigh comedy thriIIers made between 1938 and 1941, they also marked the first major association between himseIf and the filmmaking partnership of Frank Launder and Sidney GiIIiat, later to give him several of his best roles. Alongside Mario Zampi’s deliciousIy dark LAUGHTER IN PARADlSE three of the Sim/Laundner/Gilliat partnerships are to be found in this collection. Securing the pubIic’s affection in fiIms such as Hue and Cry, Scrooge and the whimsical farce FOLLY TO BE WISE, a project close to Sim’s heart, the 1950s saw Sim emerge as one of Britain’s biggest stars. GEORDlE abIy demonstrated that the public would pay to see Sim even when he did not enjoy top biIling, the fiIm also demonstrating the actor’s ability to quietIy impose himseIf on projects in supporting roIes. Sim continued to have audiences eating out of his hand, doubling as the headmistress and her bookie brother in The BeIles of St Trinian's, and becoming one of the world's least Iikely assassins in the irreverent THE GREEN MAN. At the end of the decade Sim established a notable rapport with lan CarmichaeI - the pair reuniting the folIowing year for the seminal School For Scoundrels - as an avaricious uncIe in the poIitical satire LEFT, RlGHT.
