RE: WHO IS THIS


I cant say because the method I have is too easy almost cheating but he is from a 1947 movie:-

In a working class neighbourhood in London, a housewife named Rose (In real life he married her the next year in 1948) finds herself in a serious bind when her old lover, Tommy Swann, escapes from prison and winds up in her backyard. Rose wants to escape the drudgery of her daily life and remembers the charming man Swann was before prison. But when Swann suspects that Rose is about to turn him in, he snaps, and threatens to destroy not only her fantasies about him but her family's security as well.

As far as I'm concerned Sandman, checking with Google is fine, [ I do it myself when I think I know some-one] as long as you go searching yourself.  What I do object to is the use of the Facial Recognition method.  I don't think that's fair at all.

Why don't you name him ?

Cheers,

Sheba.

I use Google for Biographies. I'm not familiar with Facial Recognition, what it is or how it works... If someone wants to explain it to me, use a PM, not the Forum !!!

When I haven't a clue who it is I use the facial recognition system to see who it is but If I do that I don't name them. I do do a google search if I think I know them or if it is an old cowboy for example I might do a google search for say "cowboy from the 40's but I didn't have a clue who this was so I used the facial recognition and for that reason I haven't named him. It is interesting to see who his wife was though and they stayed together until he passed away which is unusual for a lot of actors.

That's him BB.

John Neil McCallum, AO, CBE (14 March 1918  3 February 2010)[1][2] was an Australian theatre and film actor, highly successful in Britain. He was also a television producer.[3]

 

Early life[edit]

McCallum's father, John Neil McCallum Sr., was a theatre owner and entrepreneur, who built and for many years ran the 2,000 seat Cremorne Theatre on the banks of the Brisbane River. After emigrating from Scotland, McCallum Snr. became an accomplished musician, and was soon heavily involved in Brisbane's entertainment scene. His mother was an accomplished amateur actress who was born in England. In 1918, McCallum Jr. was born in Brisbane during the opening night of a comedy performance. After his birth, a family friend sent his father a telegraph which read 'Congratulations on two howling successes'.[5]

McCallum was exposed to acting at a young age: his early childhood was full of backstage encounters at the Cremorne Theatre with the wide variety of performers who frequented his father's theatre. Although McCallum and his two younger brothers received their primary school education in England, the family returned to Australia once the Great Depression started. His secondary education was at the Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane.[6]

That's him Tony lucky for the allies they didn't have too many more like him.

 

Erwin Rommel (15 November 1891  14 October 1944), popularly known as the Desert Fox, was a field marshal (senior military commander) in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germanyduring World War II.

Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In World War II, he distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African Campaign established his reputation as one of the most able tank commanders of the war, and earned him the nickname der Wüstenfuchs, "the Desert Fox". He later commanded the German forces opposing the Alliedcross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944.

Thanks for that Dave

If history is correct, (history is usually written by the winners)

Erwin Rommel never done enough to stop his younger officers, from talking about killing Adolf Hitler, and some thought that he was in the plot for the last attempt

He was invited to shoot himself with honour, instead of a trial and hanging

The next one should go fast

This one should go quick

Who is this man, he is famous for being the first in something, and he could probably run faster than Clint Eastwood

Sorry not Herb Elliot, Sheba

Herb was an Aussie, and this man was English

But you get half a point, as they both broke the same record, in their own era

Sorry, sandman55, it is not Derek Ibbotson

But another half point to you
Because...

Derk Ibbotson did hold this record in 1957, while the man in question, was the very first to hold this record, for running a certain distance, under a certain time, in 1954
