My Take
Wilding embodies the polish of Hollywood's golden age. His films with Anna Neagle made him a star, but the two collaborations with Hitchcock, Under Capricorn and Stage Fright, are what keep him interesting to me; few actors carried that effortless English charm so naturally. His marriage to Elizabeth Taylor, and the sons they shared, place him at the glamorous center of mid-century celebrity. I also like that he reinvented himself as a talent agent rather than clinging to the screen. There is something admirably graceful about a leading man who knew how to age out of leading roles with style intact.
