Mervyn Johns

Father of actress Glynis Johns, who appeared with him in The Halfway House (1944) and The Sundowners (1960). Stocky, benevolent-looking Welsh character who became an unexpected star of British movies during WWII, then moved quickly into post-war supports, with one of his fondly-remembered parts being that of the cowering Bob Cratchit to Alastair Sims cold-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge in the definitive film version of A Christmas Carol (1951).
