My Take
Kenneth More belongs to a very specific corner of British cinema that I have a soft spot for: the charming, happy-go-lucky leading man of the 1950s. Genevieve made him a star, and films like Doctor in the House cemented that breezy, decent screen persona. What impresses me more is the hardware behind the charm. Winning both the 1955 BAFTA for Best Actor and the Volpi Cup at Venice in the same year is no accident of likeability. The CBE seals it. He's a reminder that effortless charm on screen usually hides serious craft underneath.
