One of the most under-appreciated comic performances in cinematic history is that of Eric Blore as Jamison the Butler in the Lone Wolf series of movies. He played the role in ten different films. Certainly none of them was in the Oscar-nominated category, but all were thoroughly enjoyable, and in most of them Blore steals the show. Taken as a whole they deserve a much higher place in the annals of comic cinematic performances than they have.

Eric Blore was great. Whether he was Michael Lanyards pal Jamison or getting in the way of Fred and Ginger's Love Life!
