Message: [QUOTE="Stanley C Jenkins, post: 243643, member: 144981"] If the question is about favourite actors, then the answer must clearly be Kenneth More. However, this avoids what is perhaps a more appropriate question regarding the realism, or otherwise, of his performance in A Night to Remember. Although the real life More was from relatively a humble background - he was, at one time, a clerk in the service of the Jersey Eastern Railway - his on-screen persona was surely too "posh" for that of a merchant navy officer. This was presumably a result of More's own wartime experiences and training as a WWII Royal Navy officer. Surely the real-life "Lights" would have had at least some trace of a Lancashire accent?
