The Comedy Man (1964)
In the 1950s, Kenneth More was arguably Britainâs biggest film star. Famously self-deprecating, he wasnât the type to immerse himself in roles. But, such was his integrity, audiences trusted More the man and rooted for his larger-than-life characters. As Nick Pourgourides points out in his engaging new biography, More, Please!, Moreâs popularity grew after he moved into television and reached millions as Young Jolyon in The Forsyte Saga (1967) and as G.K. Chestertonâs clerical sleuth in Father Brown (1974).
