My Take
James Robertson Justice is one of the most gloriously unclassifiable figures I have come across. Ornithologist, journalist, ice hockey player, and finally a beloved character actor, he packed several lifetimes into one. I delight in the irony that a Bonn-educated intellectual made his name playing blustering authority figures in comedy, appearing in all seven Doctor films and alongside Gregory Peck in The Guns of Navarone. Born in 1907 and gone by 1975, he lived like a character from one of his own adventure pictures. To me he embodies a vanished breed of larger-than-life Britishness.
