Wilfrid Lawson was a celebrated British stage actor whose gruff, unpredictable screen presence enlivened decades of prestige British cinema. Becket turns a king’s friendship with his chancellor to bitter rivalry, Tom Jones scandalises the English countryside with a foundling’s romances, Room at the Top ruthlessly pursues wealth and status, and Hell Drivers races rival truckers for a corrupt boss. War and Peace and Pygmalion round out the list.
