Yeah, The Plague of the Zombies was pretty underrated IMO. They really ultimately bungled the Dracula films though, even though the first is arguably their best.

Actually I think The Avengers wasn't ITC even though it had most of the ITC actors and crew working on them. ITC Randall and Hopkirk, The Saint, Danger Man, The Champions, The Baron, Gideon's Way, The Prisoner etc. All had that cool cult look about them,

I like the dodgy ones! That's part of the charm I think. For me it's more the "look" of the films than the actual content or formula. I'm also really into ITC productions from that period like The Avengers and Randall and Hopkirk in which the cult look of them for me is part of the appeal. The quality of the episodes/films can certainly vary a bit though.

Editor Rob if a movie isn't that great I probably pay more attention to heights!

Hammer Horror were just the best weren't they? I've still got so many films to see though!!! I'll make a note to watch that one.

Editor Rob a lot of good and a lot of iffy hammer ones aswell, I watched the devil ride's out aswell and thought it held up pretty well.

Rob I'm guessing you've been watching Quatermass and the Pit TV series and film? Seems too much of a coincidence with him and Morell :-)! If so you should have one on Cec Linder the paleontologist! He was also Felix Leiter in Goldfinger and in Kubrick's Lolita!

Editor Rob actually I'd watched the Plague of the zombies not long ago, but on adding james realised he wasn't here and I liked this actor in other stuff.

180 is the most I'd go with, he always looked 5'10 range to me.

I've seen about half of those films but he's another classic British name that I'm not really that familar with. His face, however, I recognize from River Kwai. Looks like he could have been John Gielgud's younger brother from the photo.
