Default "Jamaica Inn" Wrecker ?
There's an actor who plays one of the wreckers in "Jamaica Inn" that I wo0uld like to know more about. He plays a character wearing a stovepipe (battered top hat) and has a real Bill Sykes look about him. This is not Robert Newton, but someone with a smaller part. Your starter for ten...

Wearysloth, I assume this is a much later photo, otherwise it's not who I'm looking for. RSVP.

I see there is a biography of Emlyn Williams by James Harding. Is it any good ? The candid opinions of anyone that's read it would be much appreciated.

I've got it but I haven't read it yet.

Emlyn did write his own autobiography, and I've read the first part - George. He was a very good writer, and it's a fascinating read.

Default Graham Greene on Emlyn in "Jamaica Inn"
I've only recently acquired the anthology of Graham Greene's film reviews and at my usual snail's pace I've hardly dipped in. But I must disagree with G.G.'s comment "Mr Emlyn Williams has a rather longer part as a wrecker but that plump Celtic face lamentably failed to make my flesh creep."
